Qualifying NEMA Premium® motors are typically constructed with superior materials, more copper, tighter tolerances, and longer warranties. You will not only benefit from energy savings, but also improve reliability and up-time by replacing worn out, potentially unreliable motors with the best motors available. Qualifying premium efficiency motors will save you MORE because they are 0.5% to 4% more efficient than the mandatory minimum efficiencies required by EPAct. The savings in operating costs add up so quickly that it really pays to go for the higher efficiency.
