1 Electric Motor-Driven Systems: Effciency
The complete Electric Motor-Driven System (EMDS) consists of the following four
major elements:
• Motor control, such as switch gear, control gear and variable frequency convert-
ers (IEC 61800-9-2) [1].
• Electric motor (IEC 60034-2-1 [2], IEC 60034-30-1 [3]).
• Mechanical equipment, like belts and gears (respective ISO standards from TCs
41 and 60).
• Application, such as pumps fans and compressors (respective ISO standards
from TCs 86, 117, 117, 118).
