Domestic Consumers

Power is precious - use it judiciously
One unit saved = Two units generated
Switch off lights, fans and other electrical gadgets when not required
Sunlight is available free of cost. Make maximum use of daylight and reduce the use of artificial light
Keep the bulbs and tubes clean to get better light
Use low wattage bulbs for corridors and other less important areas
Use light-coloured paints and distempers for interiors
Use tube lights in place of filament lights. They last longer, consume less power and give you more light
Do not keep the door of your refrigerator open unnecessarily
Reduce the height of partition walls wherever possible
Eschew the use of ornamental and festoon lights
Use cords of suitable capacity to avoid loss of energy and to reduce fire accidents due to short circuits
Use air-conditioners and climate control equipment very sparingly
Keep the motors clean and cool
Use capacitors near motor terminals to avoid damage to motors and to reduce demand charges.

Rural Consumers

Use foot valves of low resistance to save upto 10% power
Use RPVC suction pipes to save upto 10% power
Motor and pump should be at same level. Pump should be within 3 meters from the water level
Use pump sets of suitable power depending upon water lifting requirements. It could save upto 25% power
The capacity of motor should match the requirements. Using motors of higher capacity, where a lower one is good enough, results in loss of power. Use only motors of good efficiency
The pipe in which water comes out should be as close to earth level as possible
Use capacitors near motor terminals to avoid damage to motors and to reduce demand charges.

Industrial Consumers

Keep the motors clean and cool
Use capacitors near motor terminals to avoid damage to motors and to reduce demand charges
Tighten belts and pulleys at regular intervals to avoid energy losses due to drag
The capacity of motor should match the requirements. Using motors of higher capacity, where a lower one is good enough results in loss of power. Use only motors of good efficiency
Use grease frequently at all required points in the motor and motor drives to reduce friction
The machine driven should be very close to the motor
Sunlight is available free of cost. Make maximum use of daylight and reduce use of artificial light
Change worn out bearings and repair them in time
