Energy Efficient Electric Motor Selection Handbook PDF Download

The majority of electrical energy consumed in most industrial facilities is used to run electric motors. By incorporating energy efficient electric motors during new construction or replacement can increase productivity while achieving substantial energy and dollar savings. The efficiency gains are obtained through the use of refined design, better materials, and improved construction.This 4 - hour online course provides an overview of the characteristics, economics, and benefits of standard versus high-efficiency motors. It covers the economic and operational factors to be considered when motor purchase decisions are being made.This course is fully based on the US Department of Energy and the Bonneville Power Administration's Report Number: DOE/BPA-34623-3 titled "Energy-Efficient Electric Motor Selection Handbook". This course is aimed at electrical engineers, energy auditors, plant managers, plant engineers, and others interested in energy management or preventative maintenance programs.Learning ObjectiveAt the conclusion of this course, the reader will understand:* When to buy energy efficient motors; * Energy efficient motor performance and price; * Determining and comparing motor efficiencies;* How much one can save on energy efficient motor; * Obtaining motor efficiency data;* Energy efficient motor selection guidelines;* Speed, Design Voltage, Enclosure, Part-load Efficiency, and Power Factor;* Motor operation under abnormal conditions;* Motor selection considerations;* Additional benefits of energy efficient motors.
