	Does any one know where to find good energy analysis information (FREE) for simple motor payback for speed drives? __________________ To be or not to be........ok that's a trick question.

	Nothing about this is simple. What is the motor driving? A pump? A fan? Both have different affinity equations. What is the desired speed reduction? Is it a step reduction that can be handled with a two speed motor? Is it variable? How much time is spent at each speed? Also, be careful with FREE information. You usually get what you pay for. __________________ Brandt Smith, CEA \| VP, Senior Energy Consultant \| Industrial Energy Audit Services
