Transparent methodology
How the estimate is calculated
The calculator compares the electrical input power required by both motors to deliver the same mechanical output.
Input power (kW) = Output power (kW) × Load ÷ Motor efficiency
Important assumptions
- Both motors deliver the same mechanical output and operate for the same number of hours.
- Nominal full-load efficiency is used as an estimate at the selected average load.
- Simple savings exclude electricity-price changes, maintenance, financing and the time value of money.
- Actual results may vary with speed, load profile, driven equipment and site conditions.
