Specifically for low voltage electric motors – operating at less than 1,000V and delivering a maximum 1,000kW – the guide covers the standards, designs, configurations and general information about installation and maintenance. This is a useful publication for all motor users, from design engineers to maintenance staff, and covers issues including dimensioning, energy efficiency, mechanical and electrical protection and noise. Beyond the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), CENELEC (the European Committee for Electromechanical Standardisation) and NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) energy efficiency standards, this guide details the level of protection required for electric motors in different operating environments. It also covers motor installation and maintenance best practices, including inspections, acceptance tests, handling, mounting and operation. For a copy of the guide, click the link below.
