Mandatory requirements for motors and variable speed drives
The European Commission adapted on 22 of July 2009 implementing measures for motors under the eco design directive 2005/32/EG.
That means that there will be for the first time mandatory regulations for motors and for the use of variable speed drives. The first measure, mandatory introduction of minimum efficiency class IE2, will start on 16 of June 2011. Further measures will regulate the use of variable speed drives for electric speed control and of motors efficiency class IE3
