Electrical Energy Efficiency
In the current economic climate decision makers need to be aware of every cost saving opportunity. Paring of capital budget by buying the cheapest possible electrical equipment can result in very high running costs throughout the lifetime of the equipment. Lowest first cost is false economy. Savings can be made by replacing standard electrical equipment, cables, motors, busbars and transformers, with high-efficiency alternatives or by specifying high - efficiency equipment in new installation. These savings on running costs which can be made throughout the lifetime of the installation, can be as high as 40%, with no detrimental effect on circuit performance.
