Abstract
Electric motors consume over half of all electricity used in developed countries and typically 60–80% of the electricity which is used in the industrial sector. The use of energy-efficient motor technologies can produce substantial electricity savings which are also normally associated with process improvements and longer life of the motor drive components. This paper presents an overview about the energy-efficient motor technologies which may influence the motor electricity consumption.
