Energy audit in textile industry: A study with ring frame motor

TextSle industries use energy both in the utilities and process. Electrical energy is also used in these areas. Energy audit provides the scope of energy savings in different utilities and process of textile industries. Electric motors contribute to more than 70% of the total electrical load. Three phase induction motor is prominently used in the textile industry because of its ruggedness and versatility. Loss of motor efficiency with operation and time is a very common problem in textile industry. This paper deals with scope of energy savings by energy audit analysis in textile industries. A case study is also included for comparison of efficiency of old motor with energy efficient motor. This study would be useful in finding the areas where the energy can be saved in textile industries, scope for saving of energy, cost, CO

emission by replacing the old rewound/ faulty motors with energy efficient motors.
