A single point of increased motor efficiency can mean thousands of dollars worth of savings in the operation of the motor. Add the benefit of trouble free operation and toss in a three year warranty, and you get a winner.

That winner comes in a box labeled Siemens.

Siemens' new premium efficiency motors are uncompromisingly rugged, quiet and smooth.

Over the past two decades Siemens has made continuous strides to increase motor efficiencies above the industry averages. Now, Siemens is offering motors that are extremely energy efficient. From 1 to 500 HP and larger, Siemens motors meet or exceed the new NEMA Premium™ efficiency specifications.

NEMA Premium™ efficiency motors are designated based on an industry consensus specification of electric motor performance and application standards, created to assist industrial motor users and utilities in optimizing motor systems efficiency.

With more than 1.2 million integral electric motors sold each year, it is estimated that the NEMA Premium™ efficiency motor program can save over 5,800 gigawatt hours of electricity and prevent the release of nearly 80 million metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere over the next 10 years. That would be the equivalent of keeping 16 million cars off the road.

On a plant-by-plant basis, electric motors consume 10 to 25 times their purchase price in electricity each year; so even small increases in efficiency can add up to energy savings that go directly to the bottom line. At the NEMA Premium™ efficiency level, the paybacks can be considerable.

Even at a high payback level, Siemens makes no compromises in the construction of their new motors. They have built in rugged, reliable, efficient performance and features at minimal cost. As a result, the buyer can install any size or horsepower motors from Siemens, and count on year after year of efficient, worry-free operation.

Despite the added cost of a premium efficiency motor, the payback statistics are impressive. And since the added efficiency is earned through improved design and material characteristics, it certainly represents good value and a sound investment. With continued use in additional years, the savings truly can add up.

IBT is a Siemens distributor, stocking motors of various ratings and horsepower. They can also provide on-demand quick delivery and modification services for same day, next day or second day delivery. If necessary, Siemens will build custom motors as large as you need to meet your specifications.
