Todd Curtis, Greg Feith, and John Goglia discuss the crash of a Joby JAS4 eVTOL aircraft to highlight safety concerns and regulatory challenges. Propulsion units used in eVTOLs pose significant safety risks.The eVTOL in this crash was being remotely flown during a test flight. The aircraft is powered by six electric motors and is designed to take off and land vertically like a helicopter and cruise like an airplane. John, Greg, and Todd examine how the design of the aircraft, with a unique configuration of six propulsion units, creates several failure modes that don't exist for currently certified passenger-carrying aircraft. While no one was injured or killed in this crash, Greg, Todd, and John explore risks evident in the accident. They call on the FAA to consider these risks during the certification process. Several eVTOL manufacturers, as well as some manufactures of large jet transports, are designing their aircraft for either single pilot or autonomous operation. These designs make it difficult to respond to unforeseen emergencies. Greg and John note the crew responses to several past aviation accidents and how a single pilot or an autonomous system may not be able to deal with those situations. Related documents are at the Flight Safety Detectives website.

Electric motors are often required at potentially explosive or flammable sites, such as chemical plants, coal mines, or petrochemical plants. Accidents could result in damage, injury, or loss of life. This makes it vitally important to select a motor that won't create an ignition source. Let's take a look at the four key criteria used to classify different types of hazardous locations and how electric motors are designed and rated to operate safely within them. Understand The Hazard When selecting a motor for a hazardous location, the first step is to classify the site according to the standards that apply in your local area. In the US, hazardous location classification is determined by the National Electrical Code (NEC), while the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) applies in Canada. In practice, site classification is complex and requires a thorough inspection and analysis of every aspect of the motor's environment. Consult the relevant safety authorities in your local area for detailed guidance. The following sections will give you a broad overview of the four main criteria used. 1. Class The Class of a hazardous location describes the form that the principal hazardous material takes within it. There are three Classes, in order of highest to lowest risk of ignition. Class I locations contain highly flammable gases and vapours in the atmosphere, which could be explosive when ignited. Examples include petroleum refining plants, gas plants, spray painting facilities and refuelling areas. Class II locations contain combustible or electrically conductive dust particles in the air. Materials such as coal dust or flour and conductive particles such as aluminum and magnesium dust can become highly explosive when dispersed in the air at sufficient concentrations. Class III locations describe environments where combustible material is present in a larger particulate form, such as filings and shavings, usually settled on surfaces. Examples include industries where the processing of wood or textiles takes place. 2.Division The Division of a hazardous location describes the conditions under which the principal hazardous material is present, and there are two divisions. Division I locations designate areas where the material is present under normal operating conditions, either as part of the process itself or during a scheduled activity such as maintenance. Division II locations are those where the material is exposed only under abnormal conditions. The material will usually be present in a contained volume such as inside sealed pipes or tanks, potentially coming into contact with the motor only during an accident such as a rupture or leak. 3. Group The Group that a hazardous location belongs to represents the behaviour of the principal combustible material after ignition. There are seven Groups labelled from A to G. Groups A, B, C, and D describe flammable or explosive gases, vapours, and liquids, in order of highest to lowest risk. For example, acetylene, a particularly volatile gas that burns intensely, belongs to Group A, while Group D contains the less dangerous ethanol. Groups E, F and G contain combustible dust that would create a Class II hazard in order of higher to lower risk. Materials range from aluminum dust in Group Eto corn, sugar and wheat flour in Group G. 4. Auto-Ignition Temperature It is important to obtain the Auto-Ignition Temperature (AIT) of the hazardous materials in the vicinity of a motor. This is the minimum temperature at which a material will ignite independently, without any other ignition source. As you will see in the following sections, this is a key part of determining whether a motor is suitable for the site. In practice, the AIT value is not simple to obtain, as it depends on environmental factors such as oxygen concentration and environmental pressure. Mixtures of several different materials can complicate this step further, and a conservative estimate may be required. Choosing A Motor Once a site has been classified, it is time to choose a suitable motor. Let's look at the types and ratings of electric motors designed for hazardous locations. Motor Ratings Hazardous location motors usually come with a rating for the Class, Division, and Group for which they are suitable. For a long time, only Division I motors were rated, so many motors do not have a Division rating as they were rated for Division I locations by default. Division I motors can operate in Division II locations but may be over-engineered and unnecessarily costly compared to Division II rated motors. Electric motors also come with a T-code rating, which specifies the maximum temperature that any part of the motor surface that might become exposed to a hazardous material will reach, including in the event of burnout, power overload or locked rotor. This temperature rating must be compared to the AIT of hazardous materials at a site to determine if the motor surfaces pose a risk of ignition. Motor ratings must be authorized by safety authorities such as the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) in North America or the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). Explosion-Proof Motors Explosion-proof motors, which are a requirement for Class I, Division I locations, must be able to contain an internal explosion of a specified hazardous material without creating an ignition source for the environment around them. This is based on the assumption that over some time, the gases and vapours in the atmosphere around the motor could make their way inside, coming into contact with internal elements that could produce a spark or generate excessive heat, especially during a fault. Explosion-proof motors are designed with thick, hardened cases to contain the pressure of an initial explosion, and they must allow hot gases to escape in a controlled way that does not create an ignition source. To do this, they use flame paths, which are long, narrow corridors through which burning gases can escape while being cooled to a safe temperature. Flame paths are usually built into the shaft or body of the motor. Division II Motors These can often be regular TEFC motors that have been CSA approved for use in Division II areas. They must include a secondary nameplate with the CSA rating, Class/Division/Group rating and a Temperature Code. Dust-Ignition Proof Motors In Class II locations, where the hazardous material is present in the form of airborne dust, a dust-ignition proof motor is required. This type of motor features dust-proof seals and bearings that prevent dust from entering the motor altogether. It is important to determine the T-code rating of dust-ignition proof motors properly. They often accumulate a layer of dust on the outside of the motor body that inhibits cooling and increases the surface temperature. Using VFDs In Hazardous Locations Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) modify the frequency of an AC power supply, enabling speed control of AC electric motors. However, they often create extra heat inside the motor due to the creation of harmonic frequencies in the motor windings. Additionally, when VFDs are used to run a motor slower than the motor's base speed, it can greatly affect a shaft-mounted fan's ability to provide cooling. Explosion Proof Inverter duty motors designed to work with VFDs while mitigating these heating effects are available. It is important to keep in mind that these motors must meet the Division, Class, Group and T-code ratings of the area and be rated for VFD use. Summary Now that you are familiar with the key concepts used in hazardous location classification, as well as the motors designed for different types of hazards, you have taken the first step toward selecting the right electric motor for your needs. https://www.emotorsdirect.ca/motors/explosion-proof

To choose the right gearbox for your electric motor drive application, it's important to understand the fundamentals of gearboxes, the key differences between gear designs, and how to match a gearbox with your application's requirements. A gearbox is a gear train designed to modify the speed and torque characteristics of a motor. When gearboxes reduce speed, they simultaneously increase the torque (turning force) at the output. When they increase speed, they reduce torque. Speed reducers are a popular term for gearboxes that reduce an electric motor's speed and increase the torque. Because almost every application of gearboxes involves reducing speed and increasing torque, these terms are often used interchangeably. However, speed reducers are really a subcategory of gearboxes, and it is possible to use a gearbox to increase the speed of the output at the cost of torque. Types of Gearboxes The two main types of gearboxes are in-line gearboxes and right-angled gearboxes, each using specific types of gears. In-Line Gearboxes In-line gearboxes transmit the RPM of the motor to an output shaft that is parallel to the motor shaft. Depending on the gear train, the output shaft can be coaxial (aligned) with the motor shaft or offset by a small distance. In-line gearboxes typically use the following types of gears: Spur gears Helical gears Herringbone gears Planetary gears 1. Spur Gears Spur gears are the most common gear design and are relatively economical due to the standardization of their design. However, they don't offer as much torque capability as some other gear designs. 2. Helical Gears Helical gears have better meshing characteristics than spur gears, making them quieter in operation and able to handle more torque. However, due to their design, they produce axial forces that make them unsuitable for some very high torque applications. 3. Herringbone Gears Herringbone gears are essentially composed of two opposite-hand helical gears mounted side-by-side. This retains the benefits of helical gears while removing axial forces, making them useful for very high torque applications such as heavy-duty power transmission. 4. Planetary Gears Planetary gears typically provide the greatest speed reduction in the smallest volume and are very efficient. They also have a very low backlash, making them especially suited to applications with frequent stops and starts. Right-Angle Gearboxes Right-angle gearboxes transmit the RPM of a motor to an output shaft that is at right-angles (90 degrees from) the motor shaft axis. Right angle gearboxes typically use the following types of gears: Bevel gears Worm gears 1. Bevel Gears Bevel gears are essentially spur or helical gears that are tapered. They can mesh with another gear oriented at a different angle, making them suitable for creating a right-angle turn in the drive system. They offer similar characteristics to standard spur and helical gears. 2. Worm gears Worm gears are essentially a screw with a single tooth that spirals the length of the shaft, meshing with the teeth of a second gear mounted at right angles to the worm. Because the teeth interact in a sliding motion, they are usually quieter than other gear types. However, due to the friction produced, they have an overall lower efficiency, with a sharp drop in efficiency once the lead angle of the screw approaches 15 degrees. The friction also generates a significant amount of heat within the gearbox, and the correct maintenance of the lubrication system is important. Selecting a Gearbox Selecting a gearbox for your motor depends on the following gearbox characteristics: Torque output Speed output Efficiency Service factor Mounting and connection characteristics Backlash Radial load Moment of inertia Torque Output The gearbox must output enough torque to run the machinery that the gearbox is connected to. This includes the torque required to start and accelerate the machinery – which may be substantially higher than the normal operational torque – and the torque that is created during jams and load shocks. Speed Output If the application requires a specific speed output, the gearbox must maintain that speed while providing sufficient torque to the driven load. Efficiency If the motor output power closely matches the driven load's power requirements, the gearbox must convert that power efficiently. Efficiency is also important when one goal is to reduce the motor's operational costs, such as power costs. Service Factor The gearbox's service factor is the percentage of its rated torque that it can sustain for short periods of time. A substantial service factor is required if the gearbox will experience frequent fast accelerations or occasional load spikes on the output. As gear reducers do not have a cooling fan, the service factor is also based on how many hours a day it is used. The longer the production shift, the larger the case needs to be to dissipate the produced heat. Mounting and Connection Characteristics If the gearbox mounting area has space and profile restrictions, the gearbox size, shape, and configuration are important in determining which option is suitable. Different types of gears have different size efficiencies, with planetary gear trains generally the most compact and spur gears requiring a larger volume. Also, in smaller applications, it may be possible to utilize a gearbox that provides the mounting for the motor. In contrast, in larger applications, it is usually necessary to mount them separately to a chassis. Backlash Backlash is the amount of error or plays in the meshing of the gears in the gearbox, which results in the gearbox experiencing mechanical shock when started or stopped. For applications where the motor is run intermittently, it may be advisable to utilize a gearbox with a low amount of backlash, such as a planetary gearbox, to avoid premature mechanical failure. Radial Load Radial load refers to the force on the gearbox output shaft that occurs at right angles, such as when a belt pulley or sprocket is used to connect the gearbox to the driven load. Gearboxes have different radial load tolerances, so it's important to make sure that a gearbox can withstand your application's operational conditions. Moment of Inertia The moment of inertia of the gearbox is essentially the resistance of the gearbox to sudden acceleration. In applications that require responsive speed control, such as robotic servosystems, it is important to choose a gearbox that features a low moment of inertia. Gearbox Installation and Maintenance The most common cause of premature gearbox failure is not the gearbox's quality and workmanship but the conditions in which it is run and the service factor it was designed for. The most important factor is maintaining the gearbox properly – ensuring adequate lubricant is always present in every part of the gearbox and replacing the lubricant when it wears down from mechanical pressure and heat. Also, it is essential to properly install the gearbox to reduce vibration and stress. Always ensure that the alignment error between the motor and the gearbox and between the gearbox and the driven load is within the gearbox's acceptable limits. Summary Gearboxes have a variety of characteristics that affect their suitability for different applications. When choosing a gearbox, it is important to carefully analyze your specific application to select an option that efficiently meets all the design criteria. When you have chosen a gearbox, it is essential to install and maintain it properly to ensure the longest possible service life.

Altitude Effects On Electric Motors

At high altitudes, the properties of air change in ways that directly impact the way electric motors must be operated to maximize service life and productivity. Because air is less dense at high altitude, its capacity to carry heat away from the motor and keep it cool is significantly reduced. There is a range of approaches to combat this and maintain proper cooling of the motor. In addition, one of the altitude effects on electric motors that many operators are not aware of is that its insulating ability is reduced. In electronics with tightly packed components, this can lead to a phenomenon known as flashover, potentially destroying vital components and putting motor controls out of action. Motor Cooling Almost every electric motor is cooled by passing air over the body or through the inside of the motor, carrying heat away from the stator and rotor windings. The air's cooling ability is governed by the amount of air molecules that encounter hot parts of the motor. At high altitudes, the air is less dense, which means that there are fewer air molecules in a given volume of air, and therefore the air has less ability to cool the motor, and it runs hotter. Most motors are designed to operate up to 1000 meters above sea level without requiring any special attention to cooling. Some of the highest elevation cities in Canada include: Canmore, AB (1,428 m) Elkford, BC (1,300 m) Cochrane, AB (1,159 m) Airdrie, AB (1,098 m) Okotoks, AB (1,051 m) Calgary, AB (1,045 m) As a general rule of thumb, for every 100m above 1000 meters, the motor's maximum allowable temperature rise is reduced by 1°C. Operators have various options for achieving this and keeping the motor cool so that it provides long-lasting, trouble-free service. If the motor is operated in an outdoor environment, it may not be necessary to do any more to keep the motor properly cooled, depending on the environment. However, many applications involve operating the motor indoors, in hot or climate-controlled environments. This means that additional measures will have to be taken to keep the operating temperature at an acceptable level. A second option involves blowing air over the motor so that more heat can be carried away. For standard TEFC motors, this is not an option since the fan speed cannot be controlled independently of the motor. For a blower-cooled motor, increasing the speed of the blower will improve motor cooling. However, this may introduce additional problems, such as increasing the blower motor's operating temperature, which is also affected by altitude. Check with the equipment manual or manufacturer to determine safe speeds for your blower fan. A third way to reduce the heat generated within a motor is to choose a larger motor and operate at a lower percentage of its full load; this is known as derating the motor. Because the motor's temperature is roughly proportional to the square of the current, operating a motor at a lower current than it is rated for means that the motor will remain cooler. This is the most frequently used option in industrial settings, with the motor derating factor incorporated at the design stage. The precise derating factor required depends on the motor and how it is cooled and should be checked with the manufacturer. No matter which option is right for you, ensure that your motor is operating efficiently, with a minimum of stops and starts and changes in speed and torque. This will greatly reduce the heat stress and heat build-up inside your motor and reduce the need to address cooling issues. Preventing Flashover When operating electronics at high voltages, two conductors that come close together can experience flashover, where the electricity jumps across the air gap between them and creates a short circuit. This can destroy components and put vital electronics out of action, incurring high repair and replacement costs. One of the things that protect against this is the insulating capacity of the air. At higher altitudes, less-dense air has a reduced capacity to insulate against flashover. Most electronics are designed to operate at altitudes up to 1000-2000 metres. Above this, it may be necessary to purchase electronics such as speed controls designed specifically for use at high altitudes. Unfortunately, nothing can be done to modify existing electronics to operate at higher altitudes than they are rated for. It is necessary to take the risk of flashover into account at the design stage to ensure the right electronics are installed and the maximum service life is achieved. Summary The effects of altitude on electric motors can result in heat-stressed motors and damaged electronics unless careful planning is carried out at the design stage. By choosing the right motor and controls for your high-altitude application, you can save money and reduce your equipment's total cost of ownership.
