CanMOST: The Canadian Motor Selection Tool
Choosing an energy-efficient industrial motor can dramatically reduce the energy consumption and utility cost of running a motor-driven system over its lifetime. Analysing the costs and benefits of different motors can be complicated, but CanMOST – the Canadian Motor Selection Tool – now makes the job simpler.
Launched in June 2004, CanMOST is a software program that analyses and compares the efficiency of three-phase electric motors. With its database of over 43 000 motors, CanMOST calculates energy and electrical demand savings so you can make the most energy-efficient and cost-effective choice when it comes to buying motors for your industrial application. CanMOST allows you to:
- calculate energy and demand savings
- predict energy and cost savings when replacing a failed or standard-efficiency motor
- identify inefficient or oversized motors in your facility
- select the best available premium-efficiency motor for a given application
- compare operating costs of various motors
- calculate the rate of return on a motor investment
- calculate annual greenhouse gas emissions reductions
CanMOST is tailored for Canadian industry. It offers:
- a bilingual user interface
- a database that includes some 575-volt motors that are available only in Canada
- calculations that reflect Canadian utility rate structures
- calculations expressed in Canadian dollars
Who is CanMOST for?
CanMOST is for anyone involved in designing, purchasing, operating and maintaining electrical drive systems:
- designers and engineers
- plant managers and energy managers
