    Efficiency is not an independt term and defintiely it will be linked with equipment (with in the reasonable band). If the operating parameters established appropriate, it is possible to reach around 80-85% on centrifugal machines. I am not sure why you are saying 4stages in your case. Each stage...

Adding such a big motor would definitely push you starting current issues unless you add significant additional generation capacity. As discussed in several responses above, unless...
