Motor Summit China
The first Motor Summit China was held on 10/11 July 2015 in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province, with 250 participants from industry, university, government and NGOs. Both the public and the Chinese government officials were interested in the results of the Zhenjiang Topmotors pilot projects presented by Chinese factories for cement and chemistry. International experts reported on new technology development and new policies from Japan, USA and Europe.

IEC 60034-30-2: Efficiency classes for motors operated on variable frequency
A second Committee Draft (CD) has been out for comments until 19 June 2015. The results will be discussed at the next Working Group meeting in October 2015 in Berlin. IEC 61800-9-2: Test methods and efficiency classes for converters and motors with converters
A first Committee Draft for Voting (CDV) is out for comments and votes until 11 September 2015. It includes the new interpolation model with 7 operating points. After several international test results have shown that the proposed reference losses for converters in the European standard EN 50598-2 on the IE1 level are too high, there are two challenging questions to improve the global standard: - Should the converter's reference losses for IE1 be lowered?
- Should a further efficiency class IE3 for converters and motors plus converters be introduced?
The comments and votes on the CDV will be discussed at the next Working Group meeting in November 2015 in Los Angeles. ACEE draft guides for energy efficiency
The IEC Advisory Committee on Energy Efficiency (ACEE) introduced two new draft guides for energy efficiency which shall guide the IEC Technical Committees to include this important topic in all relevant standards: - Energy Efficiency aspects inclusion in electrotechnical standards,
- Preparation of the Energy Efficiency (EE) Publications and the use of Basic EE publications and Group EE publications.
The ACEE will convene in Korea in September 2015 to discuss the next drafts. The final guides are expected to be published in 2016.

Ecodesign updates from the European Union
- Revision of Fan directive 327/2011
After the last Consultation Forum meeting in Brussels on 30 April 2015, the revision is on track. The number of fan types will be reduced. A new level for fan efficiency, after the currently introduced requirements on 1 January 2015, will be introduced in 2020.
- Revision of Motor directive 640/2009
The revision is under way since the Consultation Forum meeting in September 2014. A new draft regulation is expected in September 2015.

Global passport for motors under way
The IECEE Global Motor Energy Efficiency Program was approved in June 2015. IECEE is the Worldwide System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components. The program aims to establish a "global passport" for electric motors, using one test method (IEC 60034-2-1), one test report, one certification and one label in all participating countries. The official program launch will take place at the EEMODS'15 conference on 15 - 17 September in Helsinki. www.motorsystems.org |

Extended Motor Product Label Initiative data collection
The US Extended Motor Product Label Initiative (EMPLI) is a collaborative effort, led by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, to develop new energy performance labels for pumps, fans and compressors as a basis for energy efficiency programs with prescribed savings values. EMPLI is currently seeking data on water pumping system operating hours and loads to determine average potential savings. If you want to contribute, fill in the data collection sheet and submit it electronically to NEMA Business Information Services at harrisons@nema.org. All individual company data will remain confidential. More information: www.aceee.org/blog/2015/07/we-need-your-data

Electrical Apparatus Service Association Accreditation Program
The Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA) launched in July 2014 an international Accreditation Program for quality motor repair. The goal of the program is to assure that service centers use prescribed good practices to maintain the efficiency and reliability of electric motors during electrical and mechanical repair. Service centers are assessed by independent third-party auditing. In May 2015, the program counted 45 service centers. More information and application: www.easa.com/accreditation
