    Low voltage three-phase squirrel cage induction motor with continuous rating and voltage of 600V or less used in the place where the refrigerant temperature is below 40 ℃ under normal use conditions.


    - Classification: Protected or Totally Enclosed


    - Rated Power: More than 0.75kW to less than 375kW


    - Number of poles: 2 poles, 4 poles, 6 poles, 8 poles


    * Only limited number of poles with efficiency standards


    - Usage and frame: universal frame


    - Speed: Constant Speed


    - Form: Foot Mount or Flange


    - Torque Characteristics: Design Type A or Type B


    In the three-phase induction motor category, induction motors of type I and type II are covered. Inverter motors of rpm loads (fans, blowers, pumps) that are operated continuously are also applicable*.*


    The purpose of this Act is to contribute to the sound development of the national economy, the promotion of national welfare and international efforts to minimize global warming by bringing stability to the supply of and demand for energy, increasing the rational and efficient use of energy, and reducing environmental damage caused by energy consumption.

    Although this Act existed beforehand, it was included in the Integrated notice for the first time since 2015. The reason for this is due to the failure of the relevant ministry to notify this Act to the division responsible for the Integrated notice.
