ENERGY EFFICIENT MOTORS

  • The 2007 Energy Act: Good News for Motor Users
    NEMA Premium® becomes the minimum efficiency standard for many motors in 2010, making the U.S. standards the highest in the world. But, perhaps you should specify NEMA Premium before then. This article discusses the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and explains the sections of that Act dealing with motors.
  • How EISA Will Affect Your Motor Policy
    The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-140, usually called “EISA”) will go into effect on December 19, 2010. If you specify or purchase electric motors, the law will affect how you do your job. If you own or manage a business, it will ― or at least, it can ― improve your company’s bottom line by cutting your energy costs for years to come.
  • Introduction to Premium Efficiency Motors
    This article describes the several loss categories in motors, how premium efficiency motors reduce these losses, and shows several tables with purchase and operating cost comparisons, as well as paybacks available when selecting premium efficiency motors as replacements for, or in place of standard models.
  • MotorSlide Calculator™ 
    Now available: A sliderule tool for quickly approximating the annual operating cost of a specifc electric motor, or for calculating the approximate annual savings possible when comparing a more efficient motor versus another, less efficient model of comparable size.  The calculator also has a built-in table of NEMA Premium® nominal efficiencies versus EPAct minimums (up to 200 hp), for quick reference.
