The encoder motors are designed for accurate positioning and energy-efficient operation.
Understanding IE Classifications for Electric Motors
To reduce global CO2 emissions, many countries have implemented energy efficiency standards for electric motors. These regulations aim to reduce industrial energy consumption by promoting the use of motors with higher efficiency ratings. In Europe under the regulation 640/2009 and in North America under Nema EPActEISA 2007 it is stated that for motors between 0,75kW and 375 kW a premium efficiency of IE3 is required.
Efficiency Classes Overview IEC 60034-30-1:
- IE1 (Standard Efficiency): 75% efficiency – Basic performance.
- IE2 (High Efficiency): 81.4% efficiency – Moderate energy savings.
- IE3 (Premium Efficiency): 84.1% efficiency – Required in many regions for motors from 0.75kW to 375kW.
- IE4 (Super Premium Efficiency): 87.2% efficiency – Even lower energy consumption and operational costs
