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.
