HEy- just want to thank everyone for all of the speedy replies!! Didnt expect to see this much support so soon!
So, the debate started regarding A.) Him saying bluntly and generically that motors run "best" at FLA, and B.) he knows this because he was told by Atlas Copco Air Compressor company...
My boss here at our plant (Maintenance manager) was challenging me yesterday saying that a motor runs best when ran AT it's FLA, vs running it a bit under, say at like 80% of its FLA. I felt that is wrong, but can't find any data to back it up. Can anyone help on this topic?
