Motors deliver more efficiency than NEMA Premium
The NovaTorque Premium Plus+ motors offer higher efficiency and smaller size at a price competitive to current NEMA Premium induction motors.
Innovative design of Premium Plus+ motors offer improved efficiency and performance over NEMA Premium, NovaTorque Inc. of its new 2 and 3 hp at 1800 rpm motors of the company’s line of Premium Plus+ high efficiency electric motors. The NovaTorque Premium Plus+ motors offer higher efficiency and smaller size at a price competitive to current NEMA Premium induction motors. The motors are available direct from NovaTorque either as a motor system paired with a variable frequency drive (VFD) or standalone. The motors offer equipment manufacturers and customers a competitively priced step-up in performance and efficiency as the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which mandates higher motor efficiency, is taking effect, the company said. The 2 hp Premium Plus+ motor has a full-load rated efficiency of 91.5% at the rating point of 1800 rpm; the 3 hp model has a full load rated efficiency of 90.5%. Full load NEMA Premium motor ratings are 86.5% and 89.5% for 2 and 3 hp motors respectively. Premium Plus+ motors maintain their high efficiency over a much wider speed and load range. The net result is a 5%-to-8% average improvement in operating efficiency over that of a NEMA Premium motor in a typical variable speed, variable load application, such as a fan or blower.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
