Checklist - A best practice checklist
Every year, running an electric motor can cost ten times the purchase price. Inefficient and poorly maintained systems can lead to reduced profits, unnecessary downtime, and even safety risks.
The good news is that there are solutions to reverse these patterns. Achieving best practice means you will improve motor system reliability, minimise energy costs and ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
An easy place to start is to answer the questions in the quick, best practice checklist below. If you answer no to any of the questions, you need Motor Solutions Online. This comprehensive information suite provides guidance and practical tools, for both management and operational staff.
Motor Solutions Online is a package that helps you make the right choices about electric motors. It includes an easy tool you can use to assess where you sit on the scale of best practice, and free motor selector software to help you compare new or existing motors, including on purchase price, efficiency, life cycle costs, noise and greenhouse emissions. This is backed up by a reference manual, techguides and case studies that demonstrate real results.
