The new range of SIMOTICS 1LE7 low voltage IE3 motors will be manufactured in India. Siemens SIMOTICS 1LE7 motors have efficiency values (IE3) higher than the existing energy efficiency standards in India. Capable of offering monetary savings of up to 20% depending on the frame size.
Siemens Ltd. has announced the launch of its new range of energy efficient motor SIMOTICS 1LE7. The new SIMOTICS 1LE7 range of motors is the newest entrant in the existing range of motors offered by Siemens in India. These motors offer efficiency values higher than the IE3 standards – which is currently the highest efficiency class as recognized by Indian Standards.
Siemens SIMOTICS 1LE7 motors are capable of offering an average monetary savings of up to 8-20 per cent depending on the frame size. Apart from generating savings, the SIMOTICS 1LE7 range of motors will assist customers to reduce lifecycle costs and meet environmental regulations.
Bhaskar Mandal, Executive Vice President and Country Division Lead, Process Industries & Drives Division, Siemens India, said: “Siemens began the manufacturing of motors in India since 1966 and has been recognized as a pioneer in manufacturing state-of-the-art motors for diverse sectors, applications and power classes. Taking this legacy forward, SIMOTICS 1LE7 will prove to be a reliable and efficient innovation which will boost the performance of energy-intensive industries like cement, metals, mining, power, textiles, pulp and paper to achieve significant reduction in energy consumption and thus reduce costs of operation and their carbon footprint.”
Siemens was also the first company in India to launch the locally-manufactured IE2 and IE3 efficiency class industrial motors. Today, one out of two energy-efficient low voltages IE motor sold in India is from Siemens.
