Early advantage
May 1st 2011 Supplier of maintenance, repair and
overhaul (MRO) products, Brammer,
has urged UK industry to act now
and take early advantage of the
opportunities for greater
energy efficiency that
will result from the
introduction of the
European Union
EcoDesign Requirements
for Energy-Using Products Directive.
The first phase of the EU MEPS
Directive (2009) begins
implementation from June 2011. The
legislation stipulates that all two-,
four- and six-pole single speed threephase
AC motors from 0.75-375kW,
manufactured from June 2011,must
meet a minimum efficiency of IE2,
previously known as EFF1.
Brammer believes that where a
motor needs to be replaced or
investment made in new
equipment it makes sound
business sense to purchase
an energy-efficient motor
even before the EU MEPS
comes into force. This will
enable companies to
immediately benefit from greater
energy efficiency, carbon emission
reductions and the potential for
improved productivity and reliability. More articles from Brammer UK Ltd: |
