Overview
EN IEC 61800-9-2:2025 (based on IEC 61800-9-2:2023) is a group ecodesign standard for adjustable-speed electrical power drive systems (PDS). It specifies a consistent methodology to determine and classify energy efficiency for drive electronics (complete drive modules - CDM), sub‑drive modules (SDM), motor starters, the combined Power Drive System (PDS) and the driven motor system. The standard defines IE (motor) and IES (drive system) classes and limit values, provides test and calculation procedures for loss determination, and gives guidance to implement best‑energy solutions based on system architecture and load profiles.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope and purpose: Energy efficiency indicators for power electronics, motor systems and motor starters used in motor-driven equipment; group energy efficiency publication per IEC Guide 119.
- Loss determination methodology: Procedures to calculate and measure losses of CDMs, SDMs, PDS and motors (including semi-analytical models and workflows for combining PDS and load losses).
- Classification: Definition of IE and extended IES classes (new IES classes up to IES5 in this edition) and their limit values for component and system classification.
- Test procedures: Type testing, input–output measurement methods and calorimetric measurement options; instrumentation and test condition requirements are defined.
- Models and annexes: Mathematical model for CDM losses (moved to Annex C), converter topology, interpolation of motor losses, and new annexes explaining correction factors and interpolation coefficients.
- Documentation requirements: User information for selection, energy classification, part‑load and standby losses, regenerative operation and correction factors.
- Changes in this edition (high level): added IES classes, removed embedded reference motor loss data (references now point to IEC 60034-30-2), expanded CDM factors, added SDIM/SDOM details, and updated interpolation methods.
Applications and Who Uses It
- Manufacturers of frequency converters, motor starters, complete drive modules and submodules - for product design, testing and energy-class labelling.
- System integrators and OEMs - to select and size drive components and to optimise system architectures for energy performance across speed/torque profiles.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies - to perform type tests and verify IE/IES classification using the standard’s measurement and calculation methods.
- Energy managers, procurement teams and regulators - for specifying energy-efficient drive systems in tenders, compliance checks and ecodesign regulations.
- Design engineers - to implement the best-energy solution by analysing losses across operating points and selecting optimal combinations of CDM, motor and system topology.
Related Standards
Relevant cross-references include IEC 60034 series (motors - performance and loss data, IEC 60034-2-1, 60034-2-3, 60034-30-1/30-2), IEC 61800 series (other PDS parts), IEC/TS 60034-31 and related EMC and switchgear standards (IEC 61000-3-12, IEC 60947-4-2). EN IEC 61800-9-2:2025 supersedes EN 61800-9-2:2017 and aligns with IEC 61800-9-2:2023.
