EISA Regulation: Transition to NEMA Premium Standards for Hazardous Location Motors
In December 2010, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) will enforce new requirements for motor manufacturers, mandating that all hazardous‑location motors meet NEMA Premium standards for NEMA and IEC frame sizes on motors below 600 volts.
What This Means for Hazardous‑Location Motors
While the original EPAct offered a two‑year compliance extension, EISA eliminates that grace period. All hazardous‑location motors must comply with the stricter NEMA Premium standards by December 2010.
