Recommend Downsize If checked, Motors@Work will consider replacing motors loaded at less than the percentage entered the next field with a smaller motor. For example, if you have a 100 Hp motor that consistently operates at only 40% of its rated load (i.e., 40 Hp), then Motors@Work will evaluate the economics of replacing this motor with a 75 Hp, 60 Hp, or 50 Hp motor. If unselected, Motors@Work will only suggest motors of equal size to the current asset.
Maximum load for downsize (%) If Recommend Downsize is checked, the system will recommend downsizing motors that consistently operate at loads less than this percentage of their rated load. If the calculated load is greater than the value entered in this field, then smaller alternative motors will not be considered. For example, assume this field is set to 50%. If you have a 100 Hp motor consistently operating a 49% (i.e., 49 Hp), Motors@Work will evaluate the economics of replacing this motor with a 75 Hp, 60 Hp, or 50 Hp motor. However, if a similar 100 Hp motor consistently operates at 62% (i.e., 62 Hp), Motors@Work will not evaluate downsizing this asset because load exceeds this setting.
