ABB welcomes new motor efficiency standard recognising actual energy saving

Leading power and automation technology company ABB is welcoming a new IEC international testing standard for electric low voltage motors that will make it easier for users to save energy by selecting the right high efficiency motors. The company has already started re-testing its motor range according to the new standard, IEC/EN 60034-2-1, and will publish the new efficiency values in its catalogues during 2008, as soon as tests are completed.
