May Products of the Week

May 10, 2004
EC&M's editors' picks for products of the week

Motor management software





























The 123 Approach to Motor Management is a program that helps industrial and commercial facilities managers manage their motor fleets. With a limited amount of user input, the software can calculate energy costs and potential energy savings, calculate and compare the financial effect of repairing or replacing motors, determine the payback periods for NEMA premium motors, calculate return-on-investment and net present value, print tags that identify the best repair or replace options for each motor, and generate a summary report.

It comes as a fully assembled, one-piece, concrete-tight unit with a 2.875-in. overall box height. The slab box’s opening is coated with a clear polyester film that prevents concrete from entering the inserts and box interior. Made from nonmetallic and non-corroding PVC, the slab box is available in seven different hub/knockout configurations, with or without molded ENT hubs.
