Abstract
In order to obtain even more competitive and efficient electric motors, it is necessary to take into, during the account design phase, not only the electromagnetic performances, but also the environmental impact and Life Cycle Cost (LCC). The paper presents a methodology and a software tool for the evaluation of the LCC of electric motors (particular attention is reserved to the manufacturing and use costs), yet during the early design phases. The integration of the proposed tool in a larger platform, to consider also the environmental impacts and motor performances, is also presented. The cost estimation tool has been tested for small sized asynchronous single-phase electric motors for household appliances.
