Efficient Drives

24 October 2012

According to NORD, it is reckoned that more than two thirds of the total energy spend for industrial automation is consumed by electric drive technology and that an individual electric motor’s energy consumption makes up about 98% of its total cost of ownership.

The IEC60034-30 standard, making the IE2 energy efficiency class mandatory throughout Europe for a large number of electric motors from June this year, will begin to ensure reduced energy consumption on a global scale. Further statutory initiatives for IE3 Premium Efficiency motors will come into force in the next few years and NORD Drivesystems has already assembled a complete range of IE2 and IE3 motors that bring benefits of increased efficiency, less waste, reduced greenhouse gases, increased service life and reduced operating costs.
