ELECTRIC MOTOR APPLICATIONS ON OIL RIGS

Continuous-duty electric motors are an integral part of a drillings rig’s solids-control and processing systems. Centrifugal pumps that feed hydrocyclones, circulate mud for mixing, and transfer mud to and from reserve and also into the trip tank are powered by electric motors. Shale shakers, mud cleaners, centrifuges, and pit agitators are also driven by electric motors.
