General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
WG 18 is a Technical Committee within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is named "TC 22/SC 22G/WG 18". This committee has published 83 standards.
WG 18 develops IEC standards in the area of Information technology. Currently, there are 83 published standards from this technical committee.
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.
IEC 61800-9-2:2023 specifies energy efficiency indicators of power electronics (complete drive modules (CDM), input or output sub drive modules (SDM), power drive systems (PDS) and motor starters, all used for motor driven equipment.
It defines IE and IES classes, their limit values and provides test procedures for the classification of the overall losses of the motor system.
Furthermore, this document proposes a methodology for the implementation of the best energy efficiency solution of drive systems. This depends on the architecture of the motor driven system, on the speed/torque profile and on the operating points over time of the driven load equipment. It provides a link for the energy efficiency evaluation and classification of the extended product.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Additional IES Classes defined to IES5;
b) Removed reference motor loss data and now point to IEC 60034-30-2;
c) Expanded and modified factors in Clause 6 for CDMs;
d) Annex C is now the Mathematical Model for CDM Losses;
e) Moved the mathematical model for the CDM to Annex C;
f) Added Sub Drive Input Module and Sub Drive Output Modules to Annex B;
g) Annex D is now the Converter Topology (old Annex C);
h) Annex E is now the Interpolation of Motor Losses (Old Annex D);
i) Annex E expanded to include various motor connections and updated interpolation method;
j) New Annex E for determination of Interpolation Coefficients;
k) Annex F is the old Annex E;
l) New Annex J Explanation of Correction Factors for the Reference Losses in Table 8.

IEC 61800-9-2:2017 specifies energy efficiency indicators of power electronics (complete drive modules, CDM), power drive systems (PDS) and motor starters, all used for motor driven equipment. It specifies the methodology for the determination of losses of the complete drive module (CDM), the power drive system (PDS) and the motor system.
It defines IE and IES-classes, their limit values and provides test procedures for the classification of the overall losses of the motor system.
Furthermore, this document proposes a methodology for the implementation of the best energy efficiency solution of drive systems.
This depends on the architecture of the motor driven system, on the speed/load profile and on the operating points over time of the driven equipment.

IEC 61800-9-1:2017 specifies the general methodology to energy efficiency standardization for any extended product by using the guidance of the extended product approach (EPA).
This document specifies the methodology of determination of losses of the extended product and its sub-parts. It is applicable to motor systems operated by a motor starter or by a converter (power drive systems).
