Calculates electric motor efficiency comparing input power to useful mechanical output. Identifies opportunities for energy savings.

Formule

Efficiency = output ÷ input × 100%

Guide étape par étape

  1. 1Measure input power (watts)
  2. 2Determine shaft load and speed
  3. 3Calculate output mechanical power
  4. 4Efficiency = output ÷ input × 100%
  5. 5Typical industrial motors 85-95% efficient

Exemples résolus

Entrée
Input 746W, output 0.5hp
Résultat
89% eff

Erreurs courantes à éviter

  • Assuming all motors equal efficiency across speed range
  • Not considering part-load efficiency (motors inefficient at low load)

Questions fréquentes

Why do motor speeds vary if efficiency is similar?

Motor slip determines actual speed; typical slip 1-10%; affects torque and efficiency.

How do I improve motor efficiency?

Match motor size to load (oversized motors run inefficient), reduce friction, improve cooling.
