Baldor has released a new software estimating tool that enables users to evaluate the energy efficiency of electric motors and variable speed drives.
Known as BE$T, the Baldor Energy Savings Tool can be downloaded free of charge from the company’s website; www.baldor.com/support/software_BEST.asp.
The software analyses the efficiency and annual electricity usage of users’ existing motors, and calculates the cost savings that can be achieved by replacing them with equivalent higher efficiency models.
