Siemens Limited announced that it has
surpassed a key milestone in manufacturing and delivering International
Efficiency (IE) class industrial motors by handing the 100,000th motor
to UltraTech Cement Ltd. in Mumbai.
This translates to energy savings of 300GWh, which is equivalent to the
power required by 80,000 average Indian households for an entire year,
since the launch of the motors in January 2012.
- Becomes the first company in India to achieve this distinction for IE motors.
- Energy savings through the use of these motors is 300GWh, which is equivalent to power required by 80,000 average Indian households in an entire year.
- In 2012, Siemens was the first company in India to launch a complete range of locally-manufactured IE2 and IE3 efficiency class energy efficient motors.

Drives, Siemens AG presenting the 100000th Motor to Mr.K.C.Sharma, Vice
President E & I Projects, UltraTech Cement Ltd
Siemens Limited was the first company in
India to launch locally-manufactured IE2 and IE3 efficiency class
energy efficient industrial motors; IE3 is currently the highest
efficiency class as recognized by Indian Standards. These motors are
capable of offering energy savings of up to 10% depending on the frame
sizes when used in place of standard effi-ciency (IE1) motors.
“Energy costs are steadily rising over the last few years and will
continue to rise as con-sumption grows. This has compelled industrial
units, especially those that rely heavily on processes, to invest in
energy-efficient equipment like energy-efficient motors. The IE class
energy efficient industrial motors from Siemens help customers improve
their business performance, reduce lifecycle costs, and meet
environmental regulations. The achievement of this milestone only
reiterates the growing awareness and need for such motors by our
customers,” says Bhaskar Mandal, Country Division Lead, Process
Industries and Drives, Siemens India.Source:-http://www.aandctoday.com/newsline/317-siemens-ltd-surpasses-100-000-milestone-for-energy-efficient-industrial-motors
