Overview (continued)
What will change? The rating plates of the motors will be adapted to the new technical data and their clarity and readability will be enhanced (for examples, see Page 0/5). For motors up to frame size 315 L, this means: The efficiency class "IE1", "IE2" or "IE3" is specified in the top right-hand corner of the rating plate (not defined as standard, but a Siemens IE logo). The rated currents have been adapted in accordance with the new efficiencies. There is no need for a voltage range to be specified on the new rating plates. The rated voltages only are specified. Unless specified otherwise, a voltage tolerance of up to 10% acc. to EN 60034-1 Range B applies. Note: The transition phase for harmonization of line voltages with increased tolerance within the EU expired on January 1, 2008. Since then the permissible mains tolerances are 230/400 V 10 %, 50 Hz and 400/690 V 10 %, 50 Hz. In general, the country of manufacture only is specified (Made in .). An exception applies to explosion-proof motors, in which case the address of manufacture must be specified as before. IE2 motors as Express motors Many IE2 motors are available as Express motors with short delivery times. The range of Express motors for IE2 will be expanded with diverse motor types. Changes to the ordering media and configurators SIZER for Siemens Drives, SinaSave and the DT Configurator have already been adapted to the new IE nomenclature. The DT Configurator assists with conversion of EFF2/IE1 motors to the legally required motors with minimum efficiency class IE2. Summary The standard motor series 1LA, 1LG, 1PP and 1LE1 will be converted to the new efficiency designations "IE1", "IE2" and "IE3" in accordance with IEC 60034-30:2008. The order numbers will remain unchanged. A detailed presentation of the affected motors, including their frame sizes, can be found in the overview tables in the separate catalog sections under "Orientation" and under "Selection and ordering data". The changed technical data is also listed here.
