IE3 ready
24 February 2015
Power management company Eaton has carried out extensive tests on products in its popular motor control range to confirm their suitability for use with the latest IE3 high-efficiency motors.
All DIL-series contactors, as well as PKZ and PKE motor-protection circuit breakers, have now been proved suitable for efficient and reliable control of IE3 motors and have, therefore, been certified as ‘IE3 ready’.
The Energy-related Products (ERP) Directive, which aims to increase the efficiency of energy-consuming products, has made it necessary for motor manufacturers to make changes to their designs. Thicker wire is now used for windings to reduce resistance, laminations are optimised to reduce losses from stray magnetic fields and higher quality steel minimises hysteresis losses.
