Better energy efficiency makes your businesses more successful

In almost all highly industrialized regions of the world, energy efficiency has become a key topic of interest for governments. Directives have been set for the reduction of carbon footprint and energy consumption in almost all areas of your life. In many countries, clear targets have been defined and are enforced by rules or additional energy taxes. This is a challenge for industry, but at the same time a huge opportunity as sustainably engineered products are already outgrowing less energy-efficient alternatives.

Energy usage statistics of electrical motors

In industrial production, electric motors count for 2/3 of overall energy costs and their energy consumption represents more than 95% of lifetime costs. Just these two numbers show the huge potential electric motors and the control devices around it have to improve energy efficiency. The European ErP directive has set out the first milestones for the path of the industry to more sustainable production.

How our customers build energy-efficient machines

All in all, the combination of IE4 motors with DG1 drives has enabled us to reduce the water utility’s energy costs by about 15 percent. At an average of 5,000 operating hours per year for each drive, this translates into major savings.

Water plant pumping station saves 15% energy

When a pump station in the south of Germany needed to reduce its total cost of ownership (TCO), Eaton's partner Aquatech decided to install energy efficient IE4 motors and PowerXL DG1 variable speed drives. This not only reduced energy consumption by 15%, but also freed space and saved maintenance costs.
