Energy Conservation Act
With the background of high energy saving
potential and its benefits, bridging the gap between
demand and supply, reducing environmental
emissions through energy saving, and to effectively
overcome the barrier, the Government of India has
enacted the Energy Conservation Act - 2001.
their
Designated consumers can meet the energy consumption norms by
own actions, as well as through the purchase of energy
saving certificates. These certificates will, therefore, become an
instrument of compliance for achieving energy consumption norms.

ELECTRIC MOTORS
MOTORS
Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy by
the interaction between the magnetic fields set up in the
stator and rotor windings.
Industrial electric motors can be broadly classified as
induction motors
direct current motors or
synchronous motors
All motor types have the same four operating components:
stator (stationary windings),
rotor (rotating windings),
bearings, and
frame (enclosure)
MOTORS
Two important attributes relating to efficiency of
electricity use by A.C. Induction motors are
efficiency(), defined as the ratio of the
mechanical energy delivered at the rotating
shaft to the electrical energy input at its
terminals, and power factor (PF).
High value for and a PF close to unity are
desired for efficient overall operation in a plant
CHECKLIST & TIPS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN
MOTORS
Properly size to the load for optimum efficiency.
(High efficiency motors offer of 4 5% higher efficiency than standard
motors)
Use energy-efficient motors where economical.
Use synchronous motors to improve power factor.
Check alignment.
Provide proper ventilation
(For every 10C increase in motor operating temperature over
recommended peak, the motor life is estimated to be halved)
Check for under-voltage and over-voltage conditions.
Balance the three-phase power supply.
(An Imbalanced voltage can reduce 3 5% in motor input power)
Demand efficiency restoration after motor rewinding.
(If rewinding is not done properly, the efficiency can be reduced by 5 8%)
CHECKLIST & TIPS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN DRIVES
Reduce excessive illumination levels to standard levels using switching, decamping, etc.
Aggressively control lighting with clock timers, delay timers, photocells, and/or occupancy
sensors.
Install efficient alternatives to incandescent lighting, mercury vapor lighting, etc.
Efficiency (lumens/watt) of various technologies range from best to worst approximately
as follows: low pressure sodium, high pressure sodium, metal halide, fluorescent, mercury
vapor, incandescent.
Select ballasts and lamps carefully with high power factor and long-term efficiency in
mind.
Upgrade obsolete fluorescent systems to Compact fluorescents and electronic ballasts
Consider lowering the fixtures to enable using less of them.
Consider day lighting, skylights, etc.
Consider painting the walls a lighter color and using less lighting fixtures or lower
wattages.
Use task lighting and reduce background illumination.
Re-evaluate exterior lighting strategy, type, and control. Control it aggressively.
Replace energy efficient displays like LED's in place of lamp type displays in control panels /
instrumentation areas, etc.
Maximise sunlight use through use of transparent roof sheets, north light roof, etc.
Install input voltage regulators / controllers for energy efficiency as well as longer life
expectancy for lamps where higher voltages, fluctuations are expected.
