Regulation Impact Statement – three phase electric motors
-
The Regulation Impact Statement (RIS) identifies options to improve the energy efficiency of three phase electric motors sold in Australia and New Zealand.
Three phase electric motors are used in a wide range of applications in the industrial and commercial sectors, often as pumps, compressors and conveyor belts.
The RIS looks at options to align Australian and New Zealand standards with international standards and European regulations. These include:
- increasing minimum energy performance standards (MEPS)
- increasing the scope to regulate larger and smaller three phase electric motors
- changing the registration requirements including the family of models definition
- introducing new labelling requirements including information disclosure requirements on product information sheets and registration number display requirements.
