Introduction

Although electric motors can consume up to 10 times their purchase price in energy costs every year, they are traditionally selected on purchase price alone.

Motors Solutions Online has free Motor Selector software which provides a simple way to analyse the many factors involved when choosing a motor. It draws on a database of nearly 1 000 motors currently available in Australia, and can help you compare various models and types based on life cycle costs and a range of other factors.

With the introduction of Minimum Energy Performance Standards for motors in October 2001, all motors registered for supply in Australia must be listed on the motors database, and you will be able to analyse them using Motor Selector. This will make it even easier to ensure the selection you make achieves the best outcome for your organisation.
