Premium efficiency motors can significantly reduce production process costs for many operations. Premium motors also run cooler and are better able to withstand variations in voltage. Financial incentives are available for both open drip-proof and totally enclosed fan-cooled motors depending on horsepower and speed.

Incentives are also available for variable frequency drives which control the rotating speed of electric motors by applying a low frequency and voltage during motor startup and then ramping up to accelerate the load while limiting current. During shutdown, VFDs allow motors to ramp down at a controlled rate. These devices are very effective in producing energy savings in pump and fan applications.
