Explore the cost benefits and efficiency factors of rewinding versus replacing a motor. Learn when each option is more economical based on motor efficiency, repair costs, and usage hours. Project outline includes marginal cost comparison, energy savings analysis, and expected lifetime considerations.

PROPOSAL TOPIC Economic comparison of rewinding vs. replacement of a motor
PROJECT OUTLINE • Marginal cost for motor replacement versus motor repair • Cost of saved energy of energy-efficient motors versus rewinds of standard motors • Expected lifetime of repaired motor versus that of a replacement
When is rewinding more economical? • The original motor is already a high-efficiency unit • The motor runs only a few hours a year • The rewind shop can guarantee that its rewind will not degrade efficiency
When is replacement more economical? • The original motor is a low-efficiency motor • The cost of motor repair exceeds the cost of a new replacement • The motor has a high duty factor (it runs a considerable amount of hours per year)
