• The frequency range of Control Techniques products listed in this document is 45 to 66 Hz.
• Measurements are made with a supply frequency of 50 Hz and a switching frequency of 4 kHz
(rated power up to and including 90 kW), or 2 kHz (rated power above 90 kW).
• Power Loss values quoted for energy efficiency are given as a percentage of apparent power
(1.732 x Drive Rated Current x Drive Rated Voltage).
• The IE Class is determined by the power losses measured with the variable speed drive operating
at 90 % rated output frequency and at 100 % rated torque. A variable speed drive meets the IE2
efficiency level, if the losses are at least 25 % lower than the losses of a reference variable speed
drive defined within the regulation.
• Additional operating points are also defined at different combinations of torque and speed, at
which power losses are to be determined. The purpose of these points is to reflect the losses at
part load for both variable and constant torque applications. Standby losses are also measured.
