Abstract :36% of the electrical energy consumed in Turkey is used by asynchronous motors, which are widely used in the industry. When considering industrial electricity consumption, it is observed that the share of electric motors in consumption reaches around 70%. Considering the rapid depletion of fossil fuels, which have a significant share in the energy supply, and the environmental problems caused by these sources, the efficiency and savings potential of electric motors, which use energy so intensely, is important. In this study, according to the ISO 500 data of 2019, Kastamonu Particle Board Plant (Kastamonu Entegre Co), which ranks 46th among the largest industrial establishments in Turkey, is used in Adana MDF Facility, B1 group 18.5 kW, B2 group 15 kW and F1 group the energy saving potentials provided by the 315 kW IE2 efficiency class motors in case they are upgraded to the IE3 class are calculated and payback periods are presented. According to this, the energy saving provided by the B1 group motor is 1923 kWh/Year (119 Dollar/Year), and the payback period is 5,01 years. In the B2 group motor, the energy saving provided is 2340 kWh/Year (145 Dollar/Year), and the payback period is 3,95 years. On the other hand, the energy savings achieved in the F1 group motor is 18815 kWh/Year (1167 Dollar/Year), and the payback period is determined as 8,68 years.
