WHAT MAKES A MOTOR MORE ENERGY-EFFICIENT?

Gil Automation

Some energy is always lost (to heat, friction and windage) when motors convert electricity into useful (mechanical) work. To improve motor efficiency, manufacturers have found ways to reduce these losses—not by changing raw materials or production methods, but through design modifications: first with higher-efficiency EPACT motors and, more recently, with NEMA Premium models.
