ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –

Part 31: Selection of energy-efficient motors including

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
specification when
• the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard,
despite repeated efforts, or
• the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the
future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard.
Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide
whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
IEC 60034-31, which is a technical specification, has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 2: Rotating machinery.

INTRODUCTION
The present technical specification gives technical guidelines for the application of energy-
efficient motors in constant-speed and variable speed applications. It does not cover aspects
of a purely commercial nature.
Standards developed by IEC technical committee 2 do not deal with methods of how to obtain
a high efficiency but with tests to verify the guaranteed value. IEC 60034-2-1 is the most
important standard for this purpose.
For approximately 15 years regional agreements were negotiated in many areas of the world
regarding efficiency classes of three-phase, cage-induction motors with outputs up to about
200 kW maximum, as motors of this size are installed in high quantities and are for the most
part produced in series production. The design of these motors is often driven by the market
demand for low investment cost, hence energy efficiency was not a top priority.
In IEC 60034-30, IE efficiency classes for single-speed cage-induction motors have been
defined and test procedures specified:
IE1 Standard efficiency
IE2 High efficiency
IE3 Premium efficiency
IE4 Super-premium efficiency
Determination of efficiency for motors powered by a frequency converter will be included in
IEC standard 60034-2-3.
However, for motors rated 1 MW and above, which are usually custom made, a high efficiency
has always been one of the most important design goals. The full-load efficiency of these
machines typically ranges between 95 % and 98 %. Efficiency is usually part of the purchase
contract and is penalized if the guaranteed values are not met. Therefore, these higher
ratings are of secondary importance when assigning efficiency classes.
With permission from the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), some parts
of this TS are based on NEMA MG 10, Energy Management Guide For Selection and Use of
Fixed Frequency Medium AC Squirrel-Cage Polyphase Induction Motors.

Figure 1 – Overview of different areas for savings of electrical energy
with drive systems
Energy can be saved in different areas of electrical drive systems depending on the duty type
(continuous or intermittent).
In continuous duty applications, improved efficiency of the electrical motor is beneficial. An
improved power factor (frequency converter, synchronous motor) can help reduce I²R losses
in cables. Mechanical optimizations (gearbox, belts, pumps, fans, etc.) may lead to much
greater savings than improvements of the electrical motor.
The application should also be regarded as well because, in many cases, the main part of the
energy saving can be obtained by managing the application load from the system point of
view. For that purpose, a demand-oriented speed control is often helpful.
Proper maintenance is usually beneficial. Many industrial plants have a high energy
consumption within the low voltage control circuits (typically 24 V power supply). Therefore,
high-efficiency low-voltage power supplies should be used. If possible, the factory should also
be shut down during long standstill periods (weekends, holidays).

Figure 2 gives an overview of typical losses of energy-efficient motors and typical losses for
the power drive system including motors with voltage-source frequency converters with and
without brake coils of electro-mechanical motor brakes.
In intermittent duty applications, energy efficient motors are not very effective and may even
use more energy due to their increased inertia and start-up currents. For these applications,
the energy consumption during the starting phase can be reduced by ramping with a
frequency converter. Intermediate energy storage may be beneficial when the operating cycle
includes frequent regenerative braking phases (for example hoist drives, lifts, cranes etc.).
