By adopting the Kyoto Protocol, the Euro\u00adpean Union has under\u00adtaken to reduce CO2 emis\u00adsions by at least 20 percent by 2020. One measure to achieve this is the EuP (Energy using Prod\u00aducts) Direc\u00adtive adopted by the EU in 2005, which was renamed ErP (Energy related Prod\u00aducts) Direc\u00adtive in 2009 and which (in Germany) is also known under the desig\u00adna\u00adtion \u201cEco-Design Direc\u00adtive\u201d.<\/p>\n

A 2-stage plan has been drawn up in the EU to commit fans to strict stan\u00addards so that in the future, there will be no more \u201cenergy-guzzlers\u201d on the Euro\u00adpean market. The first stage<\/strong> will become effec\u00adtive on 1 January 2013. It is esti\u00admated that some 30 percent of all fans currently on the market will then no longer satisfy Euro\u00adpean regu\u00adla\u00adtions.<\/p>\n

In the second stage,<\/strong> from 2015, another 20 percent will be replaced by more effi\u00adcient prod\u00aducts. These will satisfy the spec\u00adi\u00adfied minimum effi\u00adciency levels. The user can recog\u00adnise fans that satisfy the require\u00adments of the direc\u00adtive by the CE sign, on which energy effi\u00adciency is given the same signif\u00adi\u00adcance as compli\u00adance with the low-voltage and EMC direc\u00adtives. Labelling in the way that washing machines, refrig\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtors, etc. are labelled is not planned for fans as the fan manu\u00adfac\u00adturers usually have no influ\u00adence on the instal\u00adla\u00adtion condi\u00adtions. <\/p>\n

EC motors (green) clearly exceed the effi\u00adciency levels required by the imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion direc\u00adtive for AC motors (other colours)<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

ErP Imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion Direc\u00adtive for motors<\/h2>\n

What applies to fans also applies in prin\u00adciple to elec\u00adtric motors. In this context there is often a lack of clarity leading to misun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00adings. The fact is that elec\u00adtric motors are required to achieve at least effi\u00adciency class IE2 from June 2011 in accor\u00addance with Euro\u00adpean Union Imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion Direc\u00adtive No. 2009\/640\/EC (ErP Direc\u00adtive). The direc\u00adtive defines a \u201cmotor\u201d as an \u201celec\u00adtric single speed, three-phase 50 Hz or 50\/60 Hz, squirrel cage induc\u00adtion motor that has 2, 4 or 6-poles, a rated voltage of up to 1000 V, a rated output between 0.75 kW and 375 kW, rated on the basis of contin\u00aduous oper\u00ada\u00adtion\u201d.<\/p>\n

EC external rotor motors like the ones used to drive energy-effi\u00adcient fans are there\u00adfore not subject to this direc\u00adtive. However, their effi\u00adciency is compa\u00adrable with the values required by the direc\u00adtive. Here, it becomes clear that EC motors already substan\u00adtially exceed the effi\u00adciency levels demanded. This shows that EC motor tech\u00adnology is the better alter\u00adna\u00adtive when plan\u00adning energy-effi\u00adcient equip\u00adment and instal\u00adla\u00adtions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
