Energy consumption of electric drive units

IE1, IE2, IE3, IE4 motor app IE1, IE2, IE3, IE4 Motor APP

In industrial applications, electric drive units are responsible for between 30% and 40% of all electrical energy generated. Optimisation of efficiency for the entire drive system including the application/process is a significant factor – the potential is typically about 30% to 60%.
