Energy Legislation Summary

• Original Legislation – EPAct 1992

• The 2005 bill made the purchase of NEMA Premiummotors mandatory for government buildings in an attemptto show leadership in saving energy.

• The 2007 bill raised the level of all product covered in the

original bill to the NEMA Premium levels with theexception of Fire Pump motors (Due to low run hours)Effective December 19, 2010

• The 2007 bill also tried to plug the holes of the original billby expanding coverage

All ratings that are covered by the expanded coverage willonly be require to meet NEMA Table 12-11 which is theEnergy Efficient (Old EPAct) levels.




2007 EISA Enhancements

• General purpose electric motor (subtype I) – any electric

motor incorporating the design elements of a generalpurpose…

• Previously covered products (Including XP) increaseto NEMA Premium ® (except fire pump motors)

• Electric motor (subtype II) increase to NEMA MG1 Table

12-11 that are configured as:

• U-Frame motor

• Design C motor

• Close-coupled pump motor

• Footless motor

• Vertical solid shaft normalthrust motor (tested in ahorizontal configuration

• 8-pole motor (900 rpm)

• Polyphase motor with voltageno more than 600 volts (otherthan 230 or 460 volts which

moved to NEMA Premium)• LV Design B (Not A or C)Motors to 201HP - 500HP




Is My Motor Covered???• Brake Motors - Maybe

• Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 431—Policy Statement for ElectricMotors Covered Under the Energy Policy and Conservation Actprovides the following guidance. According to the examples of manycommon features or motor modifications that illustrate how the EPCAdefinitions and DOE guidelines would be applied to motor categories:

General Purpose; Definite Purpose; and Special Purpose, a motorwith an integral brake design that is factory built within

the motor is considered a special purpose motor andtherefore not covered. (Otherwise, a motor with a brakeattached (removable) is still considered a generalpurpose motor and therefore covered.)

• Multi-Voltage like 208-230/460 - Yes

• Must meet table 12-11(EPAct) at 208V and Table 12-12

(NEMA Premium) at 230 and 460V. Example from 10 CFRPart 431 ―For example, a motor that is rated at 220 volts should operate successfully on 230 volts, since 220 + .10(220) = 242 volts.A 208 volt motor, however, would not be expected to operate successfully on 230 volts, since 208 + .10(208) = 228.8 volts.”




Is My Motor Covered???

• Special Customer defined Flange: - No• While NEMA C & D as well as IEC equivalents are covered,

Special Customer flanges are not covered and the motorsare not required to meet EPAct (or EISA)

• What about Verticals?? - Some• Hollow Shaft – Not covered only Solid Shaft added by EISA

• P-Base solid shaft (HP, LP..) – Only covered if ―NormalThrust‖

• Special Shaft motors (Typically TZ, TCZ, TDZ,TY,LPZ...) - No

• These motors are not considered ―General Purpose and are

not covered.

• 201HP-500HP Design A or Medium Voltage – No• MV not covered in General Purpose definition.

• Only NEMA Design B is covered on 201-500HP




Is My Motor Covered???

•

―Inverter Duty‖ – Motors listed for VFD capability• Yes if – the motor is also suitable for general

purpose use on 60Hz sine wave powerTypical example is a Des A or B motor that canstart across the line, but has a MG1 Part 31

VFD capable insulation and is labeled ―Inverter Duty‖

• No if – the motor has a special windingoptimized for VFD service and can not be usedacross the line. i.e. Vector Duty motors that may

have excessive staring current or insufficientstarting torque when started across the line




What about Motors for Export

•

WEG can manufacture and import motors that donot comply with the regulation, if they arespecifically marked as:―Export only, Not for installation in the US‖

• Orders must specifically reference this requirement,and these will be entered on the plants requiring thisnote on the motor and Packaging

• No special tracking of the motors is required to

prove they were exported, but penalties will besevere if these motors are found installed in the US




Penalties

•

What is the penalty based on?• Improper labeling i.e. Lack of CC# or Efficiency

• Not meeting efficiency level

• Publishing catalog without required info (CC#)

• Failure to provide samples for Gov’t test-No Charge

• Failure to allow access to Documents

• Penalty $110/violation/day

• Penalty is at discretion of DOE and may be reduced

or waived if DOE chooses based on evaluation.




What next

• Working with advocacy groups such as ACEEE (American Council forand Energy Efficient Economy) and ASE (Alliance to Save Energy) topromote Energy Efficiency incentives and programs.

• Two Energy Bills currently in Congress contain incentive programs WEGand NEMA have promoted to encourage the early switch to NEMAPremium and the replacement rather than repair of older inefficientmotors. -These bills do not look like they will pass

• New Efficient technology bill in congress $125/HP PM, ECM..• DOE reevaluating Efficiency levels for further increase • Energy advocates pushing to move exceptions to NEMA Premium

What can we do? • You and customers can contact representatives to support the Replace

Vs Repair legislation if it still exists.• Inventory installed base at customers facilities to be ready to take

advantage of incentives or to just make good repair Vs replace decisions

in the future.




Small AC Motor Efficiency Regulation• On Feb 28, 2010 the DOE has also mandated efficiencies of General

Purpose Small motors.• This regulation will go into effect 2015• Covered motors are defined as:

• 1/4 to 3HP• ODP• 3-phase, and single phase CSCR and CSIR• 2 Digit Frames 42, 48, 56 and IEC equivalent

• Issues NEMA sees-• Size change impact OEM’s • Size change impact MRO replacements• Setting Efficiency level where no Rating /Frame standard exists• Questionable data in baseline study• Overestimate of operating hours for justification• http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/commer

Is WEG Ready?

•

As one of the largest industrial motor manufacturers in theworld, WEG is ready and pushing for early adoption ofNEMA Premium or greater motors by customers to saveenergy –

• WEG has a complete line of NEMA Premium productstoday and has the capacity to meet the 2010requirements today.

• WEG is currently introducing a new low voltage motorplatform (W22) that was developed to optimize thedesigns around the NEMA Premium motors, and offereven higher efficiencies in the future.

• WEG’s North American manufacturing facilities arecurrently being optimized for the production of NEMA

Premium motors.• WEG EISA Cert # is the same as EPAct CC# 029A




Are You Our Customers Ready

• Deadline is December 19, 2010

• Your drawings have part #’s for EISA compliant products.

• Third party certifications on your products include EISAcompliant motors.

• You have a plan to convert inventory. (You can still sell Pre-EISAmotors if they were produced or imported prior to 12/19/2010,

but some customers may not want them.)• You have completed product performance testing with EISA

compliant products.

• Have you partnered with a motor manufacturer that understandsthe 2010 EISA requirements and is prepared to help you getready?

If you are seeing this presentation you have found one.
