Efficiency Comparison Calculator

The Efficiency Comparison Calculator is designed to help users analyze and compare the energy costs associated with operating two different motors over a period of time. This calculator is useful tool to determine potential cost savings when upgrading from a less efficient motor to a premium efficiency motor.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Calculator:

1. Input the Operating Parameters:

   • Enter the operating hours per year. This is the number of hours the motor runs annually.
   • Input the energy cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This value should be in pence per kWh and will be converted automatically to pounds (£) within the calculation.
   • Specify the motor power rating (KW).

2. Enter Details for Each Motor:

   • For Motor #1 (Premium Efficiency):
     • Enter the motor cost and its full-load efficiency percentage.
   • For Motor #2 (Comparison Motor):
     • Enter the motor cost and its full-load efficiency percentage.

3. Review the Results:

   • Click the "Calculate" button to compute the results.
   • The calculator will display:
     • The energy cost for both motors.
     • The difference in operating costs between Motor #1 and Motor #2.
     • A summary of how much can be saved annually by switching to the premium efficiency motor.
