Motor catalogue details IE2 implications

With a print version available for order and an electronic version for download, NORD Drivesystems has issued its new M7000 electric motor catalogue. The catalogue provides an overview of asynchronous lowvoltage motors manufactured by NORD.

It addresses in detail the implications of the switch to IE2, which involves efficiency requirements for electric motors and is being introduced worldwide under the IEC Directive. The first round of regulations for the EU market comes into effect on June 16th 2011 and, for many applications, only motors that provide at least IE2 efficiency can be offered from this date.

The catalogue lists the efficiency requirements in different markets and, organised by target regions, provides help with selection of an appropriate motor.

It contains the technical data of NORD's IE1 and IE2 motors along with a table comparing motor characteristics and type plate illustrations for complete clarity.
