Abstract :
As the cost of energy increases and energy resources become scarce, it is essential that the impact of efficiency be factored into economics decisions concerning new electric motor purchase, motor repair and motor replacement. Cash flow analysis techniques are applied to these decisions and simplified guidelines are presented to help users justify the purchase of premium efficiency motors
