erating efficiency. This information is especially critical when
calibrating the equipment used with the motor. For optimum
performance, calibration should be based on actual operating
or full-load efficiency.
The good news is, once these new motors are in place and
your equipment is calibrated, your operation is the big winner.
The new, more efficient motors consume less energy—saving
you money in the long run.
