"Unscheduled downtime is the largest single
factor eroding plant performance. Over 20
Billion, or almost 5 percent of total production,
is lost each year in North America alone due to
unscheduled downtime."
ARC, 2002
Electric motors consume approximately 60 of all
electricity generated in the United States.
