EU Ecodesign Regulation 2019/1781 New Efficiency Limits
Lower consumption of electricity
Minus 100 million tonnes of greenhouse gases by 2030
Less CO2 in the atmosphere
Minimum efficiency equal to IE2 for three-phase asynchronous electric motors from 0.12 to 0.55 kW
Minimum efficiency equal to IE3 for three-phase asynchronous electric motors from 0.75 to 1000 kW
Asynchronous electric motors, rated for operation on a 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 50/60 Hz sinusoidal voltage, rated voltage above 50 V and up to and including 1000 V and continuous duty operation (S1, S3 ≥ 80%, S6 ≥ 80%).
VSDs with 3-phase input from 0.12 kW to 1000 kW, rated voltage above 100 Vand up to 1000 V
Asynchronous electric motors, rated for operation on a 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 50/60 Hz sinusoidal voltage, rated voltage above 50 V and up to and including 1000 V and continuous duty operation (S1, S3 ≥ 80%, S6 ≥ 80%).
For the first time the regulation will include:
• Totally Enclosed Non-Ventilated motors (TENV)
• Motors completely integrated into a product
• Motors specifically designed and specified to operate exclusively:
1) at altitudes exceeding 4000 metres above sea level
2) where ambient air temperatures exceed 60°C
3) in a maximum operating temperature above 400°C
4) where ambient air temperatures are less than -30°C
5) where the water coolant temperature at the inlet to a product is below 0°C or above 32°C
• Motors placed on the market before 1 July 2029 as substitutes for identical motors integrated in products placed on the market before 1 July 2022, and specifically marketed as such
• Multi-speed motors, i.e. motors with multiple windings or with a switchable winding, providing a different number of poles and speeds
