At the heart of perfect systems
Saving in, power consumed for a period of one year,
considering at Rs. 4.50 per kW for 7000 operating hours.
(252-165) x 7000 x 4.50 = Rs. 27,40,500/-
Therefore average saving in power for one month
=Rs. 27,40,500.00 / 12
=Rs. 2,28,375.00
Return on investment = 10,00,000/2,28,375 = 4.37 Months.
