Save money with efficient electric motor operation

Efficient Electric Motor Operation Saves You Money

Electric motors power much of the modern economy and that’s unlikely to change. In fact, global revenue for motor drives was approximately $11.2 billion in 2011, which was a 15.9 percent increase of 2010’s figures of nearly $9.7 billion. The figure predicted for 2016? $16.3 billion!

Because of this widespread usage, the systems powered by electric motors are the largest single use of electricity, twice as much as lighting. So, it’s only natural that governments of industrial countries are investing in research and development to increase efficiency of motors.

To quote an article in Electronics360.GlobalSpec.com, “As you increase the efficiency of a motor or a drive, you are ultimately saving energy.” Now, flip that around. If the motors in your company are not operating efficiently, you’re wasting energy – and wasted energy = wasted dollars.

To become more efficient and to improve your company’s bottom line, determine which electric motors are using the most energy. Do any of these need replaced? Or could they be refurbished for a second, energy-efficient life?Request to have one of our field technicians take a look to determine what electric motor repair  needs to be done.
