Energy Efficient Motors
Increased efficiency and decreased energy usage.Industrial, engineering and manufacturing businesses can realise significant gains in energy reduction by replacing old plant machinery motors with modern, energy efficient motors. A well looked after motor can last for 50 years plus, but it is worth considering the technological strides we have made over the last few decades – in terms of electricity usage, running temperatures, minimised energy loss and expected lifetime.
What makes a motor inefficient?
The specific energy-saving and cost-saving impact of replacing old motors with a modern energy efficient motor can vary greatly, depending on it’s age, service history, maintenance, and usage. Efficiency is very simply the ratio of the mechanical power delivered by a motor to the electrical power supplied. For example, an 83% efficiency ratio means that a motor is successfully converting 83% of electrical energy into mechanical energy, with 17% being lost – most commonly through heat dissipation.

AES can conduct a site assessment and evaluate your motors, based on age, usage and performance. We’ll then show you where potential energy reduction and cost savings could be achieved and provide an estimated payback period for the recommended works.
If you would like to move forward with our recommendations, we’ll arrange a convenient time to carry out a site assessment.
