Bearing in mind the new Ecodesign Regulation Efficient electric motors from NORD

When the Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2019/1781 comes into force on 1 July 2023, new rules for the energy efficiency of asynchronous motors will apply in Europe.

The aim is the reduction and optimisation of energy and resource consumption as systems driven by electric motors consume about 70% of the total industrial energy used. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS thus provides innovations to support its customers with the development of these saving potentials.

With regard to the Ecodesign Directive, electric motors are the most relevant product group. Because of this, regulations for electric motors which are in continuous operation exist almost everywhere in the world and in many regions there are even system-related regulations which also include machinery such as pumps, fans or air compressors.

NORD attempts to reconcile sustainability, improved economy, higher energy efficiency as well as optimised functionality and performance in all new and further developments of its drive systems. In general, electric motors, which are operated continuously and are supplied according to the present regulations (e.g. IE3), pay off their higher pricing level within a short time when compared to formerly common IE1 motors. Currently, asynchronous motors with efficiency class IE3 from NORD already make up two thirds of the sales volume in Europe. The amount of highly efficient IE4 and IE5/IE5+ motors increases steadily.

High-efficiency portfolio from NORD

With the new generation of IE5+ motors, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS takes the step towards a new product system landscape with a focus on ultimate energy efficiency paired with compact design. With regard to power density, reliability and economy, the new IE5+ motor sets new standards and offers considerable performance advantages that have been further optimised with the latest development of the DuoDrive geared motor, the first IE5+ synchronous motor that has been fully integrated into a single-stage helical gear unit.
