Good housekeeping will help save energy and money and can be as simple as:
- Switching the motor off when not required
- Ensure everybody responsible for operating equipment powered by electric motors is aware of the need to shut them down when not needed.
Other measure include:
- Selecting the size of motor and driven machinery to match the load requirements.
- Specify high-efficiency motors and driven machinery (pumps, fans etc.) when replacing motors.
- Consider using technologies such as variable speed drives or multiple speed motors to match load requirements.
