In the fiercely competitive global marketplace, keeping process
costs down can mean the difference between success and failure
for many products. Efficient motors help businesses streamline
costs and reduce downtime in the production process.
Utilities are promoting premium-efficiency motors as a customer
service to help industries improve their competitiveness and
to enhance environmental quality. Since most industries spend
a significant percent (i.e., ~65%) of their electricity bill
in powering motor loads, lowering operating and maintenance
costs with premium efficiency motors, coupled with typical payback
periods of 6 months to three years for these products, makes
premium-efficiency motors a sound investment.
Energy-efficient and premium-efficiency motors have other benefits,
too:
- Many efficient motors run cooler and are more likely to withstand
voltage variations and harmonics than standard motors;
- Many efficient motors have a slightly higher power factor
on average than their standard counterparts; and
- Most efficient motors operate more quietly than standard motors
In addition, manufacturers often provide extended warranties
on energy-efficient and premium-efficiency motors. |
