To ensure your motors are delivering the very highest Return on Investment, it's important to stay abreast of the latest developments in technology. The latest generation of high-efficiency motors, can deliver real energy savings through a combination of genuinely innovative design, quick and easy installation and low maintenance requirements. By understanding the options you can not only help the environment, but cut costs and improve profitability too.
Many of these motors are tested to the most rigorous levels of the latest testing standard (IEC 60034-2-1). Designed to classify motors in the new IEC rating scheme (IEC/EN 60034-30), it covers a wider range of motor technologies than its predecessor. Based on actual losses in the motor, as opposed to estimated losses, the new scheme replaces the original European efficiency classification scheme (EFF1, EFF2 and EFF3), and defines three commercial levels of energy efficiency as:
- Premium Efficiency IE3 (NEMA Premium)
- High Efficiency IE2 (EPAct, Eff1)
- Standard efficiency IE1 (Eff2)
