Abstract

Presents examples on the savings to be made by selecting energy-efficient motors, transformers and cables by giving straightforward cost comparisons between the capital and running costs of standard and high-efficiency components. Financial appraisal of these savings is considered in terms of the simplified ‘payback period’ and also by the calculation of capitalisation values for these savings in terms of net present values and test discount rates.

Incorporates Publication 91, 'Energy efficient cables - optimum sizing of power cables for lowest cost'.
