Motor limitations according to the new eco-design rules
There are limitations set on electrical motors brought to the markets, including:
- For new motors 0.75kW ≤ Pmot ≤ 1,000 kW, the efficiency classes IE1 and IE2 are not allowed anymore
- For motor powers 0.12kW ≤ Pmot ≤ 0.75kW at least the combination “IE2+Drive” or better efficiency is needed from July 2023
- From July 2023, the motors of 75kW ≤ Pmot ≤ 200 kW should have an efficiency class of at least IE4
