Product : General Purpose Industrial Motor (Induction Motors )
IS Standard : IS 15999, IS 12615 and Schedule 6
BEE registration is mandatory for General Purpose Industrial Motors, including Induction Motors, with a rated capacity of 0.75 kW to 375 kW under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, in India. These regulations were implemented to promote energy efficiency and conservation in the industrial sector.
The BEE has developed a star rating system for Industrial Motors, which ranges from 1 to 5 stars. This rating system indicates the energy efficiency of the motor, with 5 stars indicating the highest level of energy efficiency. The rating system takes into account factors such as motor efficiency, power factor, and energy losses.
It is recommended that industries opt for BEE certified motors with higher star ratings, as they consume less energy, thereby reducing electricity bills and lowering carbon emissions. The use of energy-efficient motors can also lead to improved productivity and reduced maintenance costs.
