Motors operating in South Africa are subjected to extreme temperatures, high altitudes and tough working conditions, with motors often being pushed to limits well beyond industry standards. Our experience with the problems encountered in South Africa is invaluable when assessing what has caused a failure and how the motor can be upgraded or improved to reduce the possibility of the failure re-occurring. From our design team and engineers, TVE is constantly looking for ways to improve motor reliability, durability and quality to ensure cost effective life cycle management and reduced total cost of ownership.
