How to Select the Right IE Class Electric Motor for Your Specific Application
Selecting the correct electric motor for your application will ensure perfect energy consumption of the system, with operational costs reduced and efficiency regulations made enforceable. Various efficiency classes from IE2 to IE3 and IE4 exist, making it tough to understand their differences and when to fit into one's needs. This Shrirang Energy Efficient guide will help you select the precise IE class of electric motor that will fit into your specific industrial or commercial application. Understanding IE Efficiency Classes Electric motors are classified under International Efficiency (IE) classes as set in IEC standard IEC 60034-30-1. These classes, or standards, IE2, IE3, and IE4, indicate increasing levels of energy efficiency: IE2 (High Efficiency) : Energy saving relative to standard motors. These are used in applications that demand frequent motor use with mid-level energy savings desired. IE3 (Premium Efficiency) : these motors offer higher energy efficiency, resulting in...
