This document provides an overview of energy efficient motors. It defines an energy efficient motor as one that uses less power to produce the same output as a standard motor. It notes that energy efficient motors have higher efficiencies of 2-6% compared to standard motors due to features like more copper in the windings and reduced fan losses. The document discusses the need for and advantages of energy efficient motors, including energy and cost savings. It also notes some potential disadvantages like higher initial cost and issues with speed control. Applications mentioned include various industrial uses.
