Benefits:
BILL EFFECTSThe purchase cost of a motor is about 2-3% of the total costs of its life. The balance is energy consumption costs. Comparing IE3 motors to IE2, the purchase price difference is recovered in about one year of energy saving. Of course, such period length depends by the specific motor, the use of it and the local energy costs of each Country.
DURABILITY EFFECTSHigher efficiency motors heat less, slowing down the aging cycle of the insulating materials and living longer. The average life is approximately from 35 to 40,000 hours for IE2 motors up to 15kW and 60,000 for IE2 bigger motors. IE3 motors can live approx. 40% longer than IE2 motors.
AMBIENT EFFECTSElectric motors use 65% of all electricity in industry. Higher efficiency motors have the further objective of sustainable development, reduction of CO2 emissions and consequent improvement of the quality of the atmosphere with an objective of sustainable development, Reduction of CO2 emissions and consequent improvement of the quality of the atmosphere.
