Undoubtedly investment costs for electrical drives are minor when compared to the overall investment in a system or plant. But it is the energy consumption of the selected drive technology that has a decisive influence on the follow-up costs.
If users compare all costs incurred during the life cycle of a system, it will be seen that energy costs of systems that have not been optimised with respect to their energy consumption can constitute up to 90% of the follow-up costs. Thus, optimising the energy efficiency of each individual component and combining the drive technology to match the specific application will achieve a significant economic benefit.
SEW Eurodrive has added a user friendly energy-saving calculator to its website. The calculator needs only a few details on the application and in return it will give users an estimated energy saving per annum as well as an indication of the amortisation period.
