It is not uncommon for an engineer, contractor or specifier
to go through some quick energy savings calculations when deciding
whether to expend a few extra dollars for the premium efficiency
version of a motor or other device. Typically, a simple payback
is calculated, which may have to be presented to the purchasing
manager for approval of the extra cost of the higher efficiency.
However, every element of the electrical system upstream of
the motor - especially the wire and transformer - will also
be affected, so the savings do not stop with the motor!
The following pages from the CDA-USA are provided to help you
determine the most efficient, most cost-effective energy-saving
solutions to energy-saving projects.
