The online tool was launched earlier this year to help motor operators better understand the performance, financial and environmental benefits of upgrading current and end-of-life industrial electric motors to more energy-efficient designs.
Key updates to phase 2:
• Variable speed calculator and graph;
• Multiple motor capabilities;
• Torque percentage (partial load data section);
• Table select (enforced product selection);
• Yearly operating cost estimates;
• ROI estimates for one to 20 years;
• Constant load vs partial load in bar graphs;
• Bi-directional search for nameplate and material numbers;
• English, French and Spanish language support;
• and more.
The Energy Savings Calculator is an online tool that allows users to compare the electrical energy usage, costs and CO2 production of a motor currently in operation with that of a new, highly efficient ABB motor. The tool allows users to search existing ABB Baldor-Reliance motors by catalog number or enter fields for motor parameters such as horsepower, efficiency class, speed and enclosure type to allow for comparisons with an existing ABB motor. Annual savings in kilowatt-hours, energy percentages and U.S. dollars are provided, as well as energy consumption comparisons between the new and existing motor and annual CO2 reduction. A digital report with data and graphics can be exported. Phase 3 of the Energy Efficiency Calculator, scheduled to launch later in 2025, will add a generic search for different motor configurations, additional input capabilities and highly customizable reporting functions.
