Premium-efficiency motors aren’t<br />
just more efficient, but also…<br />
◊ Have efficiency curves flatter across the load<br />
range, hence over integrated varying loads<br />
◊ Typically have higher power factor (also flatter<br />
across the load range), reducing distribution<br />
losses and capacity needs<br />
◊ Run cooler for lower resistive losses and longer<br />
life (each 10 C˚roughly doubles expected life)<br />
◊ Cooler operation also extends grease life for<br />
longer lubrication intervals or less downtime
