Energy Efficient Motors
Need for energy efficient motors
The government is emphasizing on the conversation of
electric energy in order to bridge the gap between demand and supply. In
addition to this, the increasing cost of captive power generation also calls for
the use of energy efficient electrical drives to reduce costs. 70% of all
electrical energy consumed in India is used for driving electrical Motors.
Energy efficient motors are of significance in such a
scenario wherein they contribute to the national cause of energy conservation
and also enable power intensive industries increase their profitability.
Advantages of energy efficient motors
- Saves energy and money
- Near uniform efficiency from 50% to 100% of full load
ensuring savings at part load conditions also
- Short payback period
- Substantial savings after payback period
Applications
Energy efficient motors are specially suited for
industries which are power intensive and equipments which run on constant load
for long duration.
Ring Frames, Fans, Blowers, Mixers, Pumps, Compressors
etc. are some of the driven equipment's and industries such as textile, paper,
rubber, petrochemicals, cement, power generation etc are those that. are suited
for such motors.
