Premium-efficiency motors...<br />

◊ Come with more durable bearings<br />

<br />

3/4 of midsized motor failures are<br />

caused by bearing failures<br />

◊ Automatically correct any iron<br />

damage from poor (most) past<br />

rewinds w/ stator burnout ovens<br />

<br />

Such damage wastes ~$1–3b/y in U.S.<br />

motors per GE (EASA notwithstanding)<br />

◊ Are less susceptible to such iron<br />

damage (though it’s better to use<br />

the nondestructive Thumm<br />

method→)<br />

<br />

Avoided iron loss plus sizing effects<br />

typically about doubles the savings<br />

compared with efficiency ratings alone<br />
