NOM-016-ENER-2016: Energy efficiency of AC motors, three-phase, induction, squirrel cage type, nominal power of 0.746 kW to 373 kW. Limits, testing method and marking

This standard establishes the minimum levels of energy efficiency that must comply the electric motors of alternating current, three-phase, induction, squirrel-cage type, in powers of 0.746 kW up to 373 kW with nominal voltage of up to 600 V, of a single rotation frequency, horizontal or vertical mounting position, air cooled and continuous regime. See the attachements for the minimum levels of energy efficiency.
The standard NOM-016-ENER-2016 supersedes the standard NOM-016-ENER-2010. The 2016 version increases the minimum energy performance levels of motors with 8 poles. Minor changes are in other levels of efficiency.
