IEC 60034 does not specifies the efficiency values of motors

# - Values are not indicated in the standard for motors above 15kw
* - Values are not indicated in the standard
 Method
z IS
325, IS 7538 & IS 12615 refers to IS
4889 for Efficiency Calculation
z Stray losses: 0.5% of Rated output power
z Resistance to corrected to reference temp as
per Insl. class
z Method of Calculation is similar to the IEC
60034-2
 Method
z IEEMA 19 refers to IEC 60034-2 for
Efficiency Calculation
z Stray losses: 0.5% of Rated Input power
z Resistance to corrected to reference temp as
per Insl.class
 Stray load losses
z IEEE 112 specifies the method for measurement
of stray load losses
z Two methods are given Direct and Indirect
measurement
z IEEE 112 also gives the assumed stray load
losses in % of rated output depending upon the
machine rating
z 1-125hp 1.8%
z 126-500 hp 1.5%
z 501-2499 hp 1.2%
z 2500hp and greater 0.9%
