Abstract

The efficiency is of paramount importance nowadays due to increasing electrical energy demand, increasing awareness of environmental problems as greenhouse effects and increasing fossil fuel prices.

This paper tries to show the different results between the standards for efficiency evaluation and the necessity of harmonization worldwide. Then, it is going to be explained the different standards for measurement of efficiency, and the main differences between the standards (IEEE 112, IEC 60034-2 and JEC-37).

To complete this study, it is going to be described the steps in order to estimate efficiency on the jobsite and expressed the different efficiency labels motors.
