Waste is a major global issue. It has become not only accepted, but considered normal. Every industrial electric motor in operation has a nameplate that tells you the power factor, which is a ratio of active power that a motor actually needs to run compared to the reactive, or wasted power. On average, industrial motors waste 15-35% of the power they take in, which results in 4.4 trillion KwH wasted globally each year. It costs industrial companies $616Billion USD each year. In fact, waste is the fourth largest consumer of global power, following commercial, residential, and industrial consumers.
A Change Must be Made
As citizens of the globe, it is our responsibility to reduce our carbon footprint and study ways to reduce energy waste. Currently, we have two choices : we can ignore waste and continue to look for more sources of electricity, or we can change the way motors are designed to eliminate the waste. Here at Adventech, we have done just that. Our motors are designed with an average power factor 0.99, which means waste is reduced from the 25% of standard motors to less than 1%. With Maxeff, less power is required from the grid and companies avoid paying for the destruction of the extra reactive power.
A Small Change can Make a Big Impact
Replacing a standard motor with our Maxeff motor is a simple switch that will make a big difference not only in industrial power waste, but also in usage. Maxeff motors not only reduce waste, but also generate extra power that can be used in other motors on the circuit that are not Maxeff. This means adding even one Maxeff motor to your grid can prevent waste and generate more power.
The concept of renewable energy is to save electricity and save energy. By switching to our Maxeff motor, facilities are able to save energy and not burn fossil fuels. Standard motors will inevitably cause pollution. In contrast, our Maxeff motor does not have any reactive components, resulting in no pollution. Making this simple change reduces our carbon footprint drastically.
Be the Change You Want to See In the World
Realizing that if we do not make a change and reduce the amount of waste in our world today is the first step. Next, it's important to understand the ways and simple adjustments that can make an impact. At Adventech, we have done the research and know that making this simple adjustment will in fact make our world a better place for the world today and future generations.
