three-phase AC motors.Energy-efficient

When considering the issue of increasing the energy efficiency of machines, the legislativebodies have turned their attention to three-phase AC motors. Various countries have prescri-bed minimum efficiency levels for these motors in machines. Compliance with these minimumlevels must be ensured when the motors are placed on the market.In this document, we have compiled an overview of the regulations that generally apply inorder to provide you with simple orientation.Lenze’s three-phase AC motors help ensure compliance with these regulations for a number ofreasons:• The global positioning of the Lenze modular motor system ensures that the respective

requirements are met.• Because built-on accessories such as brakes or sensors remain the same, the machine does

not need to be converted or modified in any way.• The correct approval provides the finishing touch to ensure the motors are suitable for

international use.

A matter of principle: the right product for every application:• Controls: faster switching, better response• Inverters: simply indispensable• Motors: the heart of your machine• Gearboxes: robust power packages.

Lenze's extensive L-force product portfolio follows a very simple principle. The functions ofour finely scaled products are assigned to the three lines Base-Line, State-Line or High-Line.But what does this mean for you? It allows you to quickly recognise which products representthe best solution for your own specific requirements.The three-phase AC motors play an extremely important role in providing an efficient solutionfor your machine. We know all about this, which is why we have the right solution at theready for you.
