What is Efficiency

  • According to the data from the Directorate General of Efficiency, the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology, three-phase asynchronous electric motor systems account for about 70 percent of the industrial electricity consumption, and 36 percent of the total net electricity consumption in our country. Therefore, measures intended to increase the efficiency of electric motors greatly contribute to the cost saving plans in respect of electricity consumption of our country.
  • According to a report issued in 2017 by the Directorate General of Efficiency, the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology, the number of AC motors of 7.5 kW and more already used in the manufacturing industry of our country is predicted to be 4,306,622. It is predicted that an annual saving of TL 8.5 billion would be achieved as a result of the transformation of 3,783,694 inefficient AC motors in total to those that are high-efficient.
  • Motors with lower power could pay off themselves within a period of not more than 2 years attributable to efficiency.
  • The saving potential that is identified as a result of analyses carried out in this field shows that the transformation of low-efficient motors for the purpose of increasing the industrial energy efficiency could significantly contribute to the country’s economy.
  • The results from an inventory audit carried out by the ministry indicates that the transformation of electric motors would significantly increase the level of energy efficiency and, the return of investment is quite reasonable.
