Blackberry App Calculates Motor Energy Savings

WEG has launched a Blackberry app that provides motor users with a mobile tool to calculate energy savings, return on investment and reductions in CO2 emissions. It also provides them with the means to create reports across all electric motors in their organisations. The app offers the benefits of dual set-up options for kW and HP, and euro, dollar and pound as default currencies, with the facility for other currencies via a 'custom' function.

In addition, co-efficients for CO2 emissions are provided for coal, oil, natural gas and other fuels. The Blackberry app is a good tool for calculating the payback time for premium versus standard efficiency motors in new projects, and is equally useful in assessing the running costs of existing motors to determine the repayment time for replacing them with more efficient types.

It also enables users to calculate and display the payback time for a new motor against the cost of rewinding following a motor failure. Here, the system takes account of the fact that rewound motors may experience a drop of up to two points in efficiency. The Blackberry app is said to complement WEG's motor payback tool.
