Recommended Practice for Testing Energy Efficiency of Variable Frequency Drive Systems

This recommended practice establishes a testing method for determining energy efficiency of a motor drive system operating at varying load conditions. It covers motor drives with rated system voltage up to 690 Vac (line-to-line rms) or 1100 Vdc. The test methodology covers both single motor, single drive systems, as well as multiple drives fed from a common AC to DC rectifier or a DC source. The test methodology covers all three-phase and multi-phase AC motors operated on variable speed drives and does not place restrictions on the type of variable speed drive used in the system under test. Single phase input fed three-phase motor drive systems are also covered in this recommended practice.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
