Windows-based version of MotorMaster, with additional features to help energy coordinators at industrial facilities implement
an effective energy management program. MotorMaster+ contains a motor inventory module, where motor nameplate data is
stored and linked to utility, facility, plant and process information. It includes a field measurement and operating data storage
repository. Also, descriptor searches may be performed to target inefficient or energy-intensive motors and motor-driven
processes, and those which operate under abnormal or suboptimal conditions. Batch analyses can be run for new motor
purchases, rewinds, or changeouts of operable motors with energy-efficient replacements. Life cycle costing, energy
accounting, and program evaluation features are included. MotorMaster+ is easy to learn and use. It incorporates many
Windows information display and management features such as destination buttons, tabs which separate information screens,
toolbar commands, and combo box menus. MotorMaster+ is also equipped with context-sensitive online help.
