| IEC decision on testing methods | ||
| ||
| IEC has published the new testing method for electric motor efficiency IEC 60034-2-1 on 10 September 2007. If you want a copy you can order at www.iec.ch. This new global standard includes several testing methods, all of them take stray load losses into account. The methods are classified according to their level of uncertainty. For good results you always choose a method with a "low" level of uncertainty. IEC has launched a worldwide Round-Robin of induction motors - see information below. Robert Bartheld (rbartheld@alo.com) has been assigned project manager. If you want to participate please contact the pm. | ||
