Frequently Asked Questions

SC 22G is a Technical Committee within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is named "Adjustable speed electric power drive systems (PDS)" and is responsible for: To prepare international standards for electronic power conversion equipment in adjustable speed electric drive systems, including the means for their control, protection, monitoring and measurement. Excluded are traction applications and electric vehicles. Horizontal Energy Efficiency Function: To establish a clear and simple system methodology for the comparison of the energy performance of motor systems to help product and system improvement. Note: This horizontal energy efficiency function is allocated in the context of the development of IEC 61800-9-1: General requirements for setting energy efficiency standards for power driven equipment using the extended product approach (EPA) and semi analytical model (SAM). This committee has published 48 standards.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.

A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
