ISI Certification (BIS) for
LINE OPERATED THREE PHASE A.C. MOTORS (IE CODE) “EFFICIENCY CLASSES AND PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION” IS 12625:2018 in India

BIS CERTIFICATION OF LINE OPERATED THREE PHASE A.C.  MOTORS (IE CODE) “EFFICIENCY CLASSES AND PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION” IS 12625:2018 

For many years, the energy efficiency classes of electric motors (low-voltage three-phase motors) were defined only on the basis of a voluntary commitment by the manufacturers of the motors. The globally increasing demand for energy-efficient, operationally optimized drives gave rise to a range of different regulations for determining efficiency.

Line Operated Three Phase A.C.  Motors (IE CODE) “Efficiency Classes and Performance Specification” (Third Revision) is used in the following areas –

Line operated AC motors are used to drive plant and machinery throughout industry and commerce, and a wide range of 'general purpose' products are available in internationally agreed, standard designs with different rated power outputs, frame sizes, fixed operating speeds, and energy efficiency ratings.
