Buy With Confidence
Buying a motor can be a difficult process. Is it the right size
for the application? Is it the right design? Is it going to last?
Is it going to perform to its specifications? Will it meet
efficiency claims? The last question is easy to answer if
NEMA Premium® is on
the label.
NEMA Premium® Licensees
Meet a Higher Standard
All motor manufacturers are required to submit efficiency
test data to the US Department of Energy to receive their
Certificate of Compliance. Data must be compiled at any
qualified test facility, including the manufacturers’ own
test laboratory.
It takes extra to wear the NEMA Premium® label. A NEMA
Premium® Licensee has agreed to go beyond minimum US
DOE requirements.
NEMA Premium® Licensees Must
Prove Efficiency Claims
What’s on the nameplate is not what you always get when
it comes to efficiency. Most manufacturers will attempt to
ship what is on the nameplate, but do not always deliver. If
you want assurance that a motor meets its efficiency claims,
look for a NEMA Premium® certified motor.
NEMA Premium® Licensees Must
Submit to Third Party Testing
NEMA Premium® Licensees are required to ship motors from
a distributor’s inventory to a third party qualified laboratory
for efficiency verification testing on a regular schedule. The
specified motor is randomly selected.
NEMA Premium® licensees deliver what they claim, and you
can buy with assurance.
