Efficiency Payback Comparison Calculator |
Is a premium efficiency motor worth the premium?
You decide. Here's an example: A local manufacturing plant operates a
piece of equipment 24 hours a day (8760 hours per year). The local utility
charges 9 cents per kilowatt hour. This piece of equipment needs a new 25
HP 1800 RPM motor. Based on the
annual savings formula, the premium efficient will save over $200
per year.
Try it yourself. Take a couple of typical installations in your plant.
Plug in the numbers in the payback analysis. Based on your individual
situation, is it worth the premium?
