A motor manufacturer's viewpoint
 
A motor manufacturers viewpoint ABB welcomes the proposed new motor efficiency legislation and as a leading motor manufacturer we are well prepared to meet the demands of the new efficiency classes.

ABB has acquired the new testing equipment needed; it has calculated its motor efficiencies under the new standards according to the indirect method with additional losses determined by measurement; it is showing efficiencies in its catalogues according to the old and new standards, until the legislation takes force; and ABB already has ... More

EU MEPS for low voltage electric motors
A look at the EU MEPS (European Minimum Energy Performance Standard) scheme which sets mandatory minimum efficiency levels for electric motors introduced into the European market. It is part of the EU's eco-design project, which aims to reduce the energy consumption and other negative environmental ... Read more
IEC 60034-30 standard on efficiency classes for low voltage AC motors
The International Electrotechnical Commission has introduced a new standards relating to energy efficient motors. IEC 60034-30 defines new efficiency classes for motors and harmonizes the currently different requirements for induction motor efficiency levels around the world. It will hopefully put ... Read more
IEC 60034-2-1 standard on efficiency measurement methods for low voltage AC motors
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has introduced a new standard IEC/EN 60034-2-1: 2007. This standard cancels and replaces the previous one IEC 60034-2: 1996. IEC/EN 60034-2-1, which came into force in September 2007, introduces new rules concerning the testing methods to be used ... Read more

Motors and generators product lifecycle management
ABB has developed a product lifecycle management model aimed to provide proactive service offerings for maximizing availability and performance. This model provides not only optimum support to end users but also a smooth transition to a new machine when the service life of the current machine ends. ... Read more
A worthwhile investment: The drive to reduce emissions and energy consumption
Variable-speed drives (VSDs) control the speed of machinery, pumps, mixers, fans and compressors to match the needs of the process. In many applications VSDs save so much energy that their economic payback time is only a matter of months. A new approach to the assessment of environmental impacts ... Read more
Saving energy through drive system efficiency
Of all the resources used in modern manufacturing, energy is arguably the most fundamental. This resource has long been taken for granted, but rising energy prices and concerns over greenhouse gas emissions are increasingly leading users to critically assess their energy usage.
