by the
motor's life cycle cost, rather than just its purchase price. Recent studies show that the initial purchase price of an Industrial AC
electric motor is less than 3% of its life cycle cost, with energy cost
making up over 97%. Simply replacing older
motors with NEMA Premium® efficient
motors will make a real impact on reducing energy costs. For example, a DOE Average efficiency
motor runs at 83.3% efficiency at an annual
electric cost of $3,923. A High Efficiency
motor (EPAct) runs at 87.5%...
