Please note that from 1HP to 200HP foot and foot/flange mounted 2, 4 and 6-pole motors need to fulfill IE3 and flange mounted motors IE2 requirements. In addition all 8-pole motors up to 200HP need to fulfill IE2 requirements.

Please note that from 1HP to 200HP foot and foot/flange mounted 2, 4 and 6-pole motors need to fulfill IE3 and flange mounted motors IE2 requirements. In addition all 8-pole motors and/or all 2,4, 6 and 8-pole motors from 201 to 500Hp need to fulfill IE2 requirements.

Please note that starting 1.1.2015 motors with output power 7,5kW up to 375kW in 2, 4 and 6-pole with IE2 efficiency level can only be used with a variable speed drive within the European Community.

Content of TR - MEPS is equal to EU - MEPS

AU MEPS is equivalent to IE2 or for some output powers slightly higher. AU HE MEPS is equivalent to IE3 or for some output powers slightly higher.

Minimum efficiency requirement according to the country of final use. Search will show all motors which may be used on the market following MEPS regulation in question: both motors under the MEPS regulation and motors which are not relevant to the regulation. Motors not relevant to the regulation are marked with yellow triangle.

Interested in rewinding a motor? Click here » When a motor fails the user has the normal choice between rewinding and replacement. The user should carefully consider the advantages of replacing the motor rather than having it rewound. Each rewind normally reduces a motor’s efficiency by 1 - 3%. In many cases the payback period is short when comparing a new motor versus rewinding. The additional cost of purchasing a new high efficiency motor when compared to the cost of the rewind can be recovered in energy savings typically within 1 year of continuous running.

How can a motor cost money when it’s not running?

When a motor fails it often causes unscheduled downtime. The cost of not running is the cost of any production that is lost, plus any other costs that arise because of the downtime. So the cost of not running is basically the cost of motor failure.

I had never really thought about it before…

It’s easy to overlook the cost of not running because it’s a hidden cost. It varies a lot between industries, and in some sectors - like chemical, oil and gas – it can be huge. In any case, it’s an important part of a motor’s overall cost of ownership and it should be taken into consideration.

Motors and Generators Services

Fortunately, it’s possible to reduce the cost of not running by means of maintenance. ABB offers a unique selection of service tools that support both preventive and predictive maintenance, enabling the right maintenance to be carried out at the right time.

ABB Service tools to minimize the cost of not running

ABB LEAP

Assesses the condition and expected life of the stator winding.

ABB MACHsense-P

Identifies rotor winding defects, installation problems and bearing defects; analyzes power supply quality.

ABB MACHsense-R

Remote condition monitoring service that covers the cage rotor and bearings; also addresses temperature issues.

ABB LEAP

ABB Life Expectancy Analysis Program (ABB LEAP) is a diagnostic tool for assessing the condition and expected life of the stator winding insulation in motors and generators.

Testing is done on a single occasion and can be combined with normal maintenance procedures. By providing information on the remaining lifetime of the stator winding, ABB LEAP enables motor operators to plan specific service actions well ahead.

This approach significantly reduces unplanned shutdowns caused by failures (due to factors such as thermal, electrical, ambient, or mechanical aging), which could have been foreseen.
