1 Would you like to reduce your electricity bill? Did you know 65% of electricity in industry in used by electric motors? MotorAdvantage from Quantum is the answer

2 Low voltage electric motors today UK motor repair industry twice size of new motor market While mechanical repairs such as bearings and shafts will always be needed, why are there so many rewinds? No one should be making inferior motors Today s technology gives motors 20+ year life expectancy Yet many repairers are rewinding motors less than 5 years old

3 Remember this? When was the last time your car broke down? Is your car rusty? 1.3 OHV engine 4 Star leaded petrol Max Speed 98 mph No ABS,power steering or CAT 32 mpg No air bag. No central locking No engine management Fiesta? system Need regular maintenance (Every 6000 miles) For the enthusiast only! Do you own a Haynes manual for your car? Would you spend 50% of the value of a new Fiesta repairing the engine of your old 1.25 Zetec Engine Unleaded petrol Max speed 112 mph ABS and power steering and CAT mpg 4 Air Bags. Central locking Engine management system Longer service intervals (12-18,000 miles) 3 Year Warranty

4 Low voltage electric motors today Significantly different from 20 years ago Advances in materials and manufacturing processes = better reliability and efficiency 65% of industrial electricity consumed by electric motor 110kW IE3 motor running 8760 hours per annum will create 19 tonnes less CO2 emissions than a less efficient model It is estimated that there are over 10 million motors running in the UK today Why are motor owners acting like Fiesta enthusiasts?

5 Confused? Since 2005 Quantum Controls has conducted over 400 drives energy appraisals in UK Information suggests industry does not effectively manage its motor assets Leads to unplanned downtime, increased repair costs and higher than necessary energy bills and CO2 emissions With UK PLC fighting for survival why is nothing being done about this?

6 Is this really a big problem? Metals process line Downtime is 400/hr Rip out / repair / re-install time is 48hr Unplanned outage cost is 19,200 This is the hard cost What about the soft cost? Loss of reputation Loss of customer Loss of margin

7 Help is at hand MotorAdvantage Quantum believes UK industry is ineffectively managing its installed motors base Leads to unplanned downtime, higher energy bills and higher CO2 emissions than necessary Based on information collected over 7 years and from over 450 plants we believe that there is an unarticulated need We launch MotorAdvantage as a way of articulating and addressing that need

8 MotorAdvantage from Quantum What is it? Motor management plan encouraging process industry to uncover true cost of running electric motors Identify up to five motor-driven applications offering best potential for analysis Site visit by motor engineer to assess identified motors Shows financial impact of production loss through motor failure and recommends ways to minimise or mitigate Shows energy savings and CO2 reductions by fitting premium efficiency motors and calculates payback period

9 MotorAdvantage from Quantum 3 steps to improving profitability 1. Consultation Examine plant installed motor asset register Identify up to five critical applications running continuously or more than 4,000 hrs per annum

10 MotorAdvantage from Quantum 3 steps to improving profitability 2. The Appraisal Inspect selected motors; get an understanding of plant; inventory of spare motors; energy and maintenance plans Old motor can be 1-5% lower in efficiency compared to new premium efficiency If that motor is running continuously then typical payback of 2-3 years achievable if motor scrapped prior to failure If the motor is replaced at point of failure then, taking rewind cost into payback calculation, new motor cost can be recovered in <12 months

11 MotorAdvantage from Quantum 3 steps to improving profitability 3. Proving savings report and recommendations Findings analysed and potential savings identified using dedicated software Among data available includes: estimation of present energy usage whether application benefits from variable speed control payback time if investment is made in new motors CO2 emission reductions Cost of unplanned outage

12 MotorAdvantage from Quantum Sample report Engineers Report

13 MotorAdvantage from Quantum Sample report Executive Summary

14 MotorAdvantage from Quantum Benefit to motor user Clearly determines: Current policy in event of motor failure Financial impact on company Areas for improvements in maintenance and stockholding Energy use of current installation Repays investment in plan within weeks Quantum predicts when motor needs maintaining and overhauling Downtime minimised Profits maximised
