General information regarding efficiency in accordance with International Efficiency


Overview (continued)
The most important changes at a glance:
CEMEP voluntary EU agreement Description Voluntary agreement between the EU commission and the European sector committee of manufacturers of electrical machines (CEMEP) 2, 4 1.1 90 kW EFF3 Standard EFF3 EFF2 Enhanced efficiency EFF1 Highly efficient 400 V, 50 Hz IP5X NO NO NO EU Directive No. 640/2009 adopted on July 22, 2009 based on the IEC 60034-30 standard The EU Directive is in force in every country of the EU. Losses are determined and therefore the efficiency is determined in accordance with IEC 60034-2-1:2007 2, 4, 6 0.75 375 kW IE1 Standard Efficiency IE2 High Efficiency IE3 Premium Efficiency < 1000 V, 50/60 Hz All In agreement YES EU Directive NO IEC 60034-30 YES (but explosion protection always has a higher priority) IEC 60034-30 standard, valid since October 2008; the EU Directive will come into force on June 16, 2011. This means that as of this date, manufacturers are no longer permitted to place IE1 motors on the market in the European economic area.

Exceptions to the EU Directive 7 Motors that are designed to be operated totally submerged in a liquid; 7 Motors fully integrated into a product (e.g. a gear unit, pump, fan or compressor) whose energy efficiency cannot be measured independently of the product; 7 Motors that are specially designed for operation under the following conditions: - At altitudes greater than 1000 meters above sea level; - At ambient temperatures above 40 C; - At maximum operating temperatures above 400 C; - At ambient temperatures below -15 C (any motor) - With cooling liquid temperatures at the product intake of below 5 C or above 25 C; - In hazardous areas in the context of Directive 94/9/EC of the European Parliament and Council; 7 Brake motors The following motors are not involved: 8-pole motors Pole-changing motors Synchronous motors Motors for intermittend duty S2 to S9 Single-phase motors Motors specially developed for converter-fed operation in accordance with IEC 60034-25

The changes will come into effect on the following dates: June 16, 2011: Compliance with the legally required minimum efficiency class IE2 for induction motors in S1 operation in accordance with EU Directive January 1, 2015: Compliance with the legally required minimum efficiency class IE3 for outputs from 7.5 to 375 kW or, as an alternative, IE2 motor plus frequency converter January 1, 2017: Compliance with the legally required minimum efficiency class IE3 for outputs from 0.75 to 375 kW or, as an alternative, IE2 motor plus frequency converter Motors for the North American market The Energy Policy Act (EPAct) was superseded in December 2010 by the Energy Independence Security Act (EISA). Since December 2010, EISA has extended the minimum legal efficiency class requirements and the following motors must fulfill the NEMA Premium Efficient Level: 1 to 200 hp 2-pole, 4-pole and 6-pole 230 V, 460 V In addition, the following motors, for example, must fulfill the NEMA Energy Efficient Level: 201 to 500 hp 2-pole, 4-pole, 6-pole and 8-pole All voltages < 600 V except 230 V and 460 V Footless motors (IM B5 and other flange types) NEMA design C (increased starting torque) For details, see NEMA MG1, Table 12-11 and Table 12-12.
