Motors account for more than half of all electricity use, yet efforts to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of drivepower systems have received relatively little attention. This volume outlines a systems approach encompassing high-efficiency motors, optimized controls, improved component sizing and repair, better transmission hardware, and more comprehensive monitoring and maintenance. Application of the measures in this book can save the user thousands of dollars, reduce pollutant emissions, and enhance productivity. Engineers, designers, specifiers and facility managers alike should benefit from the comprehensive overview of this rapidly evolving field.
