Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA)

The Electrical Apparatus Service Association Inc (EASA) is an international trade organisation of nearly 2,400 electromechanical sales and service firms in 56 countries. Through its many engineering and educational programmes, EASA provides members with a means of keeping up to date on materials, equipment and state-of-the-art technology.

Information on EASA services internationally is available through http://www.easa.com. Access to the New Zealand members is at: http://www.easa.org.nz/members.php

Energy Rating

The energy rating website also serves as the main database for all MEPS appliances, including electric motors, available in New Zealand and Australia. The motor data base is accessible at: http://www.energyrating.gov.au/appsearch/motors.asp

The electric motor MEPS tables are at: http://www.energyrating.gov.au/motor2.html

Table B2, which provides the minimum efficiency levels for MEPS 2006 compliant motors (under test method B) is the most relevant. Table B3 applies to motors that claim “high efficiency”.
