APPENDIX 5A ENGINEERING DATA

5A.1 INTRODUCTION 

This appendix presents baseline specifications and detailed cost-efficiency results for 

each of the small electric motor product classes analyzed in the engineering analysis (chapter 5). 

5A.2 BASELINE DESIGN OPTIONS 

Table 2.1 shows the baseline design options for each product class analyzed. All changes 

to cost and efficiency are measured relative to this level in the engineering analysis. The 

representative motors chosen from each product class are: CSIR, 1⁄2 horsepower, four-pole; 

CSCR 3⁄4 horsepower, four-pole; and polyphase, 1 horsepower, four-pole motors. Refer to 

chapter 5 of the TSD for details about each baseline technology.

5A.3 COST-EFFICIENCY RESULTS 

For each product class analyzed in the engineering analysis, DOE had its subcontractor 

create higher efficiency designs above the baseline efficiency level. The subcontractor modeled 

these designs after the baseline design, but altered several design specifications within the limits 

provided by DOE. 

5A.4 COST-EFFICIENCY RELATIONSHIP VERIFICATION 

Once the cost-efficiency relationships were determined using the subcontractor’s designs, 

DOE tested 2 to 3 additional motors in each product class to corroborate the results gleaned from 

the subcontractor’s design work. These motors all had the same pole configuration and 

horsepower rating as the representative product class, but they differed in rated efficiency from 

the previously tested baseline motor upon which the subcontractor based its designs. Figure 4.1

through Figure 4.3 show the results of these tested motors plotted with the cost-efficiency results

with Tested Motor Results 

The tested motors lie at or below the engineering analysis curves developed for the CSIR 

and CSCR product classes. This confirms that DOE’s cost-efficiency curves are sufficient in 

EERE-2007-BT-STD-0007 COMMENT 33
5A-4 

estimating the actual cost of achieving an efficiency level above the baseline for these product 

classes. The tested motors from the polyphase product class also appear in-line with the 

engineering analysis curve; however these motors tested at an efficiency level below what DOE 

used for the baseline efficiency. As mentioned in TSD chapter 5, this was because the motor 

purchased as the baseline motor tested at an efficiency level higher than what it was listed at. 

Additionally, the motors in the graph above that are at lower efficiencies than the baseline tested 

at efficiencies lower than what they were listed at.

5A.11 COMMODITY PRICES 

Commodities such as steel, copper, and aluminum make up a large portion of the input 

materials to small electric motors. As a result, any fluctuation in the price of these commodities 

can have a significant impact on the cost to produce these motors. Over the past several years, 

these commodity prices have fluctuated greatly compared to their historical trends. In an effort 

to best estimate the price of these underlying commodities, DOE has used an inflation adjusted 

five-year average price point for these commodities throughout the Engineering Analysis. In 

calculating the five-year average prices, DOE adjusted historical prices to $2008 using the 

historical Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Indices (PPI)1

for each commodity’s 

industry. Table 11.1 summarizes the historical five-year prices in terms of 2008$, and also 

shows the average price point DOE used for its analysis.

DOE based its Engineering Analysis on the five-year average price point for each 

commodity, but it also examined the five-year minimum and maximum price points to gauge the 

level of sensitivity around these prices. Table 11.2 to Table 11.7 present the resulting MSPs 

from using the five-year average price, the minimum price, and the maximum price for 

polyphase, CSIR, and CSCR motors. Figure 11.1 through Figure 11.6 show the MSP-efficiency 

graphs associated with these values.

5A.12 SCALING RELATIONSHIPS 

As part of the scaling process, DOE used listed catalog efficiency data from various 

manufacturers and test results performed by its subcontractor. The test results came from an 

independently accredited laboratory that tested the motors according to the applicable IEEE test 

procedures: IEEE 112 (test methods A and B) for polyphase motors and IEEE 114 for singlephase motors. Table 12.1 and Table 12.2 show the efficiency data collected through these test 

procedures for polyphase and CSIR motors. As noted in chapter 5 of the TSD, no manufacturer 

offered a complete product line of CSCR motors, and therefore their scaling relationships were 

based upon the CSIR data.

 Once the baseline efficiency levels were determined for product classes that were directly 

analyzed, DOE used its scaling tool to determine the appropriate efficiency levels for the 

remaining product classes. Table 12.3 through Table 12.5 show the scaled efficiency levels for 

each product class at the baseline efficiency level.
