Decision tree aids motor efficiency decisions

Many drive technology customers are in the middle of adapting to the new efficiency requirements for electric motors, while some are only just starting to familiarise themselves with the standards.

From 16 June, only motors fulfilling IE2 efficiency requirements can be used for certain types of applications within the EU market.

Clients who are unsure whether their chosen motor complies with the energy efficiency requirements, and which alternative is best suited, can use Nord's decision tree, which is available to download from the company's website.

Also available online, an interactive energy-saving calculator determines the operating cost savings offered by IE2 motors during continuous operation based on plant and machine data.

In addition, a print version of the M7000 motor catalogue can be ordered from the Nord website, or a PDF version can be downloaded directly.

This brochure lists the efficiency requirements in different markets worldwide and, organised by target regions, helps users choose the right motor.
