（ROSSLYN, VA）－NEMA和美國節能經濟委員會（ACEEE）宣布就節能電機聯邦標準達成共識。他們共同向國會能源委員會就目前工業電機國家節能標準推薦了重要的改變和附加標準，提出了他們對目前正在發展的法律提出了他們的顧慮。 該組織推薦影響三種不同類型的電機的標準改變從設定之日起實行3年，該電機通用于1到200馬力，多相整數馬力感應電動機，七種低壓多相整數馬力感應電動機。整數馬力感應電動機目前沒有被列入聯邦法律之內；NEMA設計“B” 201 到 500馬力通用電機。 NEMA和ACEEE還將要求稅收鼓勵電機生產商和終端用戶在新電機標準生效之前3年的時間內加速生產和安裝低壓電動機。 這些推薦的標準將在未來的幾年內將工業電機的效率提高到世界最高水平。因為這些電機壽命可達二十年，加速生產和安裝NEMA的低壓電動機將會帶來長期的能量節約效應。通過這項建議，ACEEE計劃凈累計能量節約到2030年將達到80億千瓦時，消費者凈節省額將達到五億美元。NEMA和ACEEE 都將這項建議看做是一個偉大的機遇，幫助美國降低二氧化碳排放。 original text [COLOR=#708090]NEMA and ACEEE Reach Agreement on Industrial Motor Efficiency Standards 28 Mar 2007 （ROSSLYN, VA） - The National Electrical Manufacturers Association （NEMA） and The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy （ACEEE） have announced that they have reached consensus on federal standards for energy-efficient motors. They have jointly recommended important changes and additions to the current national energy-efficiency standards for industrial electric motors to Congressional energy committees for their consideration in legislation now under development. The organizations recommend that changes affecting three different types of electric motors take effect 36 months from enactment. The motors are 1 to 200 horsepower general purpose, poly-phase integral-horsepower induction motors; seven types of low voltage poly-phase, integral-horsepower induction motors not currently covered under federal law; and NEMA design “B” 201 to 500 horsepower general purpose motors NEMA and ACEEE will also request tax incentives for motor manufacturers and end-use purchasers to accelerate the production and installation of premium efficiency electric motors during the 36 months prior to the effective date of the new motor standards. These proposed standards will raise the efficiency of industrial motors in coming years to the highest levels of any country in the world. Because they can operate for more than 20 years, accelerating the production and installation of more NEMA Premiumâ efficiency level motors will result in significant long-term savings. ACEEE projects that the net cumulative energy savings attributable to this proposal will be 8 billion kilowatt hours through 2030; the net economic savings for consumers will be $500 million. Both NEMA and ACEEE see this proposal as a great opportunity to help the country to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.[/COLOR]
