Reduce costs with ECR 2 motor power‑factor performance

Power factor impacts energy efficiency and infrastructure costs.

Low power factor increases energy losses across the grid, forcing utilities to generate extra power without compensation and requiring oversized infrastructure. For commercial sites, this inefficiency raises costs, triggers utility penalties, and limits equipment capacity—making power factor correction essential. AoFrio’s ECR 2 motors achieve a PF of up to 0.95—far higher than typical EC motors—reducing grid losses, lowering utility penalties, and enabling up to 40% more cabinets to be connected per circuit.

This white paper explains why power factor matters and how ECR 2’s advanced electronics deliver real-world savings for supermarkets.
