Energy accounts for most of a motor’s total costs over the course of its operating lifetime. An upfront investment in energy efficiency makes sound financial sense. Prescriptive incentives are available for three-phase AC induction motors, 1-250 HP, of open drip-proof (open) and totally enclosed fan-cooled (closed) classifications.
Motor incentive levels are listed below. Download an application for more details.
