Abstract
Electric motors consume a large percentage of the electrical power gen erated in a modern industrial society. As the cost of energy increases and energy resources become scarce, it is essential that the impact o f efficiency by factored into economic decisions concerning new motor purchase, motor repair, and motor replacement. Cash flow analysis tech niques are applied to these decisions and simplified guidelines are pr esented to help users justify the purchase of premium efficiency motor s.
