News welcome
May 1st 2009

Brammer welcomes the European Commission's agreement on draft regulations for mandatory minimum efficiency standards for industrial electric motors. The new regulations, which form part of the EuP Directive entitled 'EcoDesign Requirements for Energy-Using Products', are expected to save UK industry £200m and at least 1m tonnes of CO2 each year.

The proposed standards will introduce a new IE efficiency grading standard to replace the current voluntary EFF labelling scheme.

Once ratified, the scheme is likely to be introduced in three stages between 2011 and 2017, covering single-speed, three-phase, 50Hz or 50/60Hz, squirrel-cage induction motors with rated voltages of up to 1kV and power outputs between 750W and 375kW. Applicable to motors with two, four or six poles, they will prohibit the sale of motors below standard IE2 efficiency from 2011, allowing only highly efficient IE3 motors for certain larger applications from 2015 and for all applications from 2017. IE2 motors can be sold after 2015 providing they are used in conjunction with a VSD.
