In Part I of this short application note series, we discussed inspection points on motors to make during an energy audit or other efficiency program. Part I covers basic motor efficiency strategy and describes tests and cost savings for voltage and current unbalance and for power factor. Part II covers inspection points that are best incorporated into regular, long-term preventive maintenance.
