Within the scope of Totally Integrated Automation, modern motors in energy efficiency classes IE2 and IE3 are offered for global applications. Thanks to specific design measures and the use of special materials, these premium efficiency motors support an efficiency factor increase of up to 10% compared to standard motors. As the particularly lightweight and rugged energy-saving motors decisively contribute to increased energy efficiency in a general manner, they often amortize within few months. The exact amortization period can be calculated with the SinaSave software tool which is available for free download from the Internet.

Energy optimization requires a specific individual case analysis, from individual drives to the overall system. In addition to systems for the management of energy-efficient components, Siemens therefore offers an integrated and matched product portfolio, ranging from fixed-speed applications using industrial controls, to variable-speed applications using frequency converters, down to energy-efficient motors. Selection of the optimum product mix has to be carried out individually for each specific application case. Siemens supports machine manufacturers, system integrators and users by providing consulting services and sector know-how throughout all industrial areas.

The result: Increased energy efficiency of the entire system without escalating investment and lifecycle costs.
