Summary
Substantial reductions in energy and operational costs can be achieved through the use of energy-efficient electric motors. A handbook was compiled to help industry identify opportunities for cost-effective application of these motors.
It covers the economic and operational factors to be considered when motor purchase decisions are being made.
Its audience includes plant managers, plant engineers, and others interested in energy management or preventative maintenance programs.
Objective
To assist the industrial sector in identifying cost-effective opportunities for application of energy-efficient motors.
Approach
The Handbook contains a discussion on the characteristics, economics, and benefits of standard versus high-efficiency motors in the 1 to 200 horsepower range. A motor performance database is supplied for use in identifying, evaluating, and purchasing energy-efficient motors and includes information on full and part load nominal efficiency and power factor as well as material on specific models and costs. Descriptions of how operating factors such as speed and design voltage effect performance are included.
Typical operating conditions are also covered. Steps are outlined for launching a motor improvement program, which includes a worksheet to determine potential energy savings and
the economic feasibility of an energy-efficient motor project.
