Recycling Potential in the European Union (EU) of Low Voltage Three-Phase Induction Motors Up to 75 kW of Power: Quantitative Analysis

This article quantifies the recycling potential of metallic materials that make up three-phase induction motors. The data on use electric motors by type and power determines most significant lies in this low-voltage motor which powers to 75 kW. work aims show possibility such European Union (EU). metals used various parts main methods allow their reuse are listed. It evaluates part can apply these relatively easily (stator) is more complex (rotor). A calculation process exhaustively quantify incorporate different selected for other determine amounts material be recycled reused manufacture new equipment. (stator rotor) employing approximate equations obtained from study (copper, aluminum, magnetic sheet, steel). calculated, economic volume, possibilities energy-saving, environmental advantages dedicating efforts resources collecting, recycling, reusing industrial applications show. withdrawal applications, due causes related restructuring production processes, manufacturing systems, breakdowns, or directly aging, generates considerable manufacture.
