New Motor Selection
39 | Industrial Energy Efficiency eere.energy.gov
• Motors don’t live forever• Since motors are involved in the
process, the fastest way to get them back into service is rewinding– This reduces efficiency!
• MotorMaster+ helps plants decide which motors can tolerate rewinding or which need to be replaced
• Plants should then stock backup motors for critical systems
Repair or Replace?
40 | Industrial Energy Efficiency eere.energy.gov
• Software tool results are only as good as the tool and the data input.
• Tools should be used in support of engineering analysis, not as a replacement.
• Using a software tool without understanding how it works (using a “Black Box” recommendation”) increases risk
• Misuse and user-error are always possible– Common sense and “sniff” tests of results are
needed
A Necessary Caution
