ABB has launched a new online calculator that will help users minimise the carbon footprint of industry's largest user of electricity, the electric motor.
ABB's calculator lets the user know how much their carbon footprint could be reduced by equipping a particular motor with a variable speed drive. The motor rating is defined by the user. The calculator shows the energy savings in kWh, the monetary savings, the CO2 savings, the cost of a suitable drive and the payback time.
