Electrical equipment that contains more copper runs cooler and
saves money.
Did you know there’s a law of physics that says all electrical
equipment wastes energy in the form of heat? It's expressed as:
where
I=current
and R=resistance
And it can cost your company more than just wasted energy dollars. It
can dramatically reduce your productivity – and profitability.
But you can break this law – with copper! The more copper your
electrical equipment windings and cabling contain the less costly energy
you’ll lose as heat. And the more you can put to work. That’s
because copper is the most efficient conductor available.
Copper upsizing also minimizes costly operations problems,
particularly downtime due to overheated or failed equipment. Reliability
and service life of electrical equipment are substantially increased.
And there can be significant savings in the cost of air handling and
cooling no longer needed.
Sit down with your plant engineer or facilities manager. Compare the
costs. Compare the savings. You’ll find that energy efficient
electrical equipment and cabling put the IČR law on your side.
