What is the Way to Choose an AC Motor (Induction Motor) that is Useful for Carbon Neutrality?

What's wrong, Vex? Is there something you want to talk about?
Ms. Ori, a customer asked me if there is any way to select an AC motor (induction motor) that can help with carbon neutrality. How should I introduce them?
Vex, what do you think is necessary to achieve carbon neutrality in the first place?
I think it’s about reducing CO₂ emissions.
That’s right. What kind of motor do you think we should choose?
Does this mean that I should choose an energy-efficient motor that consumes less power?
Yes! Correct! You can refer to "IE" when looking for a high efficiency motor. Do you know about "IE”?
I've heard of it, but I'm not sure what it means...
IE is an international standard that grades the energy efficiency of induction motors. The grades are divided up as 4>3>2>1, so that should help you find an efficient motor.

About IE Code Efficiency Grades
In other words, I can reduce power consumption by choosing IE4, the highest grade!
By the way, Oriental Motor's KIIS Series 200 W AC motor is IE4.
Thank you! I’m a little curious, does the IE apply to fans that use the same AC motor (induction motor)?
Good question, Mr. Vex. You need to choose a fan that complies with national and regional energy efficiency regulations. For example, in the EU, there is a Commission Regulation "(EU)No 327/2011" that covers fans of 125 W or more as of 2011, and it also requires efficiency in fan air flow.
("(EU)No 327/2011" refers to the European Commission Regulation implemented by the European Parliament and Council Directive 2009/125/EC. This covers cooling fans with an input between 125 W~500 kW at the maximum efficiency point, and must meet the efficiency grades specified as applicable to Ecodesign.)
So efficiency regulation requirements vary by country and region. Are Oriental Motor fans compliant with EU327?
The MRE Series (frame size 250 mm-120 mm thick) and MRS Series (frame size 250 mm-120 mm thick) are compliant.
Thank you! I see that all I have to do is choose a fan that complies with its own energy efficiency regulations!
Wait a minute, Vex! Fan power consumption can be controlled even with products that are not regulated by energy efficiency regulations.
Is that so?!
That’s right. It is important to choose fans that consume less power than conventional products, but the way the product is used can also reduce power consumption. For example the MRE Series frame size 200 mm is effective when combined with an inverter as it allows you to adjust the air flow.
We introduce IE to the customers as a way to select AC motors, and also introduce inverter combinations as a way to reduces power consumption!
Good luck, Vex!
