EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ES.1 INTRODUCTION
This preliminary technical support document (“TSD”) describes the approaches to and
results of preliminary activities that the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) performed in
investigating amended energy conservation standards for electric motors. This executive
summary summarizes DOE’s preliminary activities and results.
DOE published an Early Assessment Request for Information (“RFI”) in the Federal
Register on May 21, 2020 (the “May 2020 Early Assessment RFI”) soliciting information to
assist in its evaluation of whether amended standards may be necessary for consumer electric
motors. 85 FR 30878. Chapter 2 of the preliminary TSD summarizes the comments received in
response to the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI as well as DOE’s responses to those comments,
and includes additional requests for comment on the preliminary analysis. DOE conducted the
preliminary analysis described in this TSD using information that it collected, as well as
information received in response to the RFI.
ES.2 TEST PROCEDURES
DOE’s currently applicable test procedures for electric motors are currently prescribed at
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (“CFR”) – specifically, at appendix B to subpart B of
10 CFR part 431. On October 5, 2020, DOE published a NOPR proposing to establish a test
procedure and an accompanying labeling requirement for dedicated-purpose pool pump motors,
which currently are not subject to energy conservation standards. 85 FR 62816. (“October 2020
NOPR”) Further, in its recent test procedure proposal, see 86 FR 71710 (December 17, 2021)
(“December 2021 TP NOPR”), DOE also proposed to expand the scope and establish test
procedure requirements for certain categories of electric motors not currently subject to energy
conservation standards. These categories are (1) air-over electric motors; (2) submersible electric
motors; (3) certain electric motors greater than 500 hp; (4) electric motors considered small by
industry; and (5) inverter-only electric motors. Finally, DOE also proposed to include within the
scope of the test procedure synchronous electric motor technologies. 86 FR 71710, 71726-71727.
For this preliminary analysis, DOE is only presenting its technical analysis for electric
motors currently subject to energy conservation standards in 10 CFR 431.25(g). DOE may
consider new energy conservation standards for the expanded scope and present any
corresponding technical analysis in the energy conservation standards NOPR.

ES.3 KEY ANALYSES AND RESULTS
The following sections summarize the key analyses DOE performed and the results
obtained in developing this preliminary TSD.
ES.3.1 Market and Technology Assessment
When initiating an analysis of potential energy conservation standards for appliances or
equipment, DOE obtains information on the present and past industry structure and market
characteristics for the products concerned. DOE assesses industries and products both
quantitatively and qualitatively, based on publicly available information.
For this preliminary analysis, DOE addressed: (1) manufacturer market share and
characteristics, (2) existing regulatory and non-regulatory initiatives for improving product
efficiency, and (3) trends in product characteristics and retail markets. These data and resource
material were used throughout the analysis.
DOE reviewed available public literature and interviewed manufacturers to develop an
overall understanding of the electric motor industry in the United States. In particular, DOE
sought information on: (1) manufacturers and their market share, (2) product information, and
(3) industry trends. Chapter 3 of the preliminary TSD describes the market analysis and resulting
information.
DOE typically uses information about existing and past technology options and working
prototype designs to determine which technologies and combinations of technologies
manufacturers use to attain higher performance levels. In consultation with interested parties,
DOE develops a list of technologies to be considered.
DOE developed a list of technologies for electric motors from trade publications,
technical papers, manufacturer literature, and through consultation with manufacturers. Because
existing products contain many technologies for improving equipment efficiency, equipment
literature and direct examination provided additional information.
ES.3.2 Screening Analysis
The screening analysis (chapter 4 of the preliminary TSD) examines whether
technologies identified in the technology assessment: (1) are technologically feasible; (2) are
practicable to manufacture, install, and service; (3) have an adverse impact on equipment utility
or availability; and/or (4) have adverse impacts on health and safety. DOE conducted this
screening analysis in consultation with interested parties. In the subsequent engineering analysis,
DOE further examined the technology options that it did not remove from consideration in the
screening analysis.
ES-2
ES.3.3 Engineering Analysis
The engineering analysis (chapter 5 of the preliminary TSD) establishes the relationship
between the costs of manufacturing electric motors and their efficiencies. These relationships
serve as the basis for calculating costs and benefits of modified product designs for consumers,
manufacturers, and the nation. Chapter 5 describes the product classes DOE analyzed, the
representative baseline units, the efficiency levels DOE analyzed, the methodology DOE used to
develop the manufacturing production cost model, and the cost-efficiency results.
Equipment Classes Analyzed
When evaluating and establishing energy conservation standards, DOE may establish
separate standards for a group of covered equipment (i.e., establish a separate equipment class) if
DOE determines that separate standards are justified based on the type of energy used, or if DOE
determines that a product’s capacity or other performance-related feature justifies a different
standard. (See 42 U.S.C. 6316(a) and 42 U.S.C. 6295(q)(1)(A) and (B)) In making a
determination whether a performance related feature justifies a different standard, DOE must
consider factors such as the utility to the consumer of the feature and other factors DOE
determines are appropriate. (See 42 U.S.C. 6316(a) and 42 U.S.C. 6295(q)(1))
For this preliminary analysis, DOE is proposing to expand the equipment classes used in
the May 2014 Final Rule. Table ES.3.3.1 shows the equipment class groups considered for
motors currently in scope at 10 CFR 431.25 with the addition of motors between 500 and 750
rated horsepower for Equipment Class Group (“ECG”) 1.

Efficiency Levels Defined
DOE based its preliminary analysis for electric motors on the metric of nominal full-load
efficiency.
For each established representative unit, DOE selects a baseline model as a reference
point against which any changes resulting from energy conservation standards can be measured.
The baseline model of each representative unit represents the characteristics of common or
typical products in that class. Typically, a baseline model is one that just meets the current
minimum energy conservation standards by a small margin. DOE initially considered the current
standards for electric motors established in 10 CFR 431.25. These data were used to develop the
baseline efficiency level (“EL”) examined as part of this TSD.
DOE also analyzed several higher efficiency levels, including a maximum
technologically feasible level, for each representative unit consistent with products and design
options currently available on the market. Table ES.3.3.3 provides the efficiency levels
expressed in nominal full-load efficiency of each representative unit. Since AO motors are
designed largely the same as non-AO motors, DOE used the same higher efficiency levels for
AO MEM motors. Table ES.3.3.4 and Table ES.3.3.5 provide the efficiency levels for SNEM
and AO SNEM representative units, respectively.

Chapter 5 of this preliminary TSD includes additional details on how DOE developed the
efficiency levels for its analysis.
Manufacturer Costs and Selling Prices
To determine the manufacturer production cost (“MPC”) required to achieve higher
efficiency levels DOE used a combination of physical teardowns, software-modelled motor
designs, and input from manufacturers. This analysis consists of disassembling representative
units, analyzing the materials and manufacturing processes, analyzing the design approaches
manufacturers use, and developing a spreadsheet analysis to ascribe costs to the various electric
motor designs relevant to this TSD. Chapter 5 of the TSD includes information on the inputs
used to determine the incremental MPC. DOE calculated the MSP as the sum of production cost
ES-5
and nonproduction cost. Chapter 5 of the preliminary TSD includes information on the inputs
used to determine the manufacturing cost, including material, labor, and overhead costs.
DOE’s engineering analysis produced cost-efficiency curves for each electric motor
representative unit. The cost-efficiency curves are described by the efficiency levels DOE
analyzed and the increase in MSP required to improve a baseline-efficiency product to each of
the considered efficiency levels. Table ES.3.3.6 provide the MSP of each representative unit for
each newly proposed equipment class group.

ES.3.4 Markups Analysis
In chapter 6 of this preliminary TSD, DOE calculates the markups to manufacturer
selling prices (“MSPs”) that occur throughout the distribution channels for electric motors,
converting the estimated manufacturer selling prices derived from the engineering analysis to
consumer prices. In calculating markups, DOE identified the distribution channels for electric
motors and the markup associated with each step in the channels. Table ES.3.4.1 and Table
ES.3.4.2 provide a summary of the distribution channels considered for electric motors,
including SNEMs and AO electric motors.

DOE estimated the markups taken at each step in the distribution channels and included
sales taxes. DOE developed separate markups for baseline products (baseline markups) and for
the incremental cost attributable to more expensive, more efficient products (incremental
markups). Table ES.3.4.3 through Table ES.3.4.5 summarize the markups DOE developed for
the prices consumers pay for electric motors.

ES.3.5 Energy Use Analysis
To conduct the life-cycle cost (“LCC”) and payback period (“PBP”) analyses, DOE must
determine the operating cost savings to consumers from using more efficient equipment. The
goal of the energy use analysis is to determine the annual energy consumption of electric motors
for use in the LCC and PBP analyses. Energy use characterization generates a range of energy
use values that reflect real-world electric motor use in the commercial, industrial, and
agricultural sectors.
For electric motors subject to energy conservation standards at 10 CFR 431.25, the
analysis focuses on eight representative units identified in the engineering analysis. In addition,
for NEMA Design A and B and NEMA Design C electric motors, DOE included additional
representative units to represent consumers of larger sized electric motors (i.e., units 9, 10, and
11). See Table ES.3.5.1. In addition, DOE considered 12 representative units for SNEMs and 15
representative units for AO electric motors described in the engineering analysis section (see
section ES.3.3.1). For each representative unit, DOE determined the annual energy consumption
value by multiplying the motor input power by the annual operating hours for a representative
sample of electric motor consumers. Chapter 7 of this TSD provide details on DOE’s energy use
analysis for electric motors.

To establish a reasonable range of energy consumption in the field for electric motors,
DOE created a consumer sample to represent consumers of electric motors in the commercial,
industrial, and agricultural sectors. DOE used the sample to determine electric motor annual
energy consumption as well as for conducting the LCC and PBP analyses. Each consumer in the
ES-10
sample was assigned a sector, an application, and a region. The sector and application determine
the usage profile of the electric motor and the economic characteristics of the motor owner vary
by sector and region. To develop this sample, DOE primarily used data from a recent DOEAMO report 1, the 2018 Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey, 2 the 2018
Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey, 3 the 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey, and
information from the Small electric Motors January 2021 Final Determination Technical Support
Document 4 (See Chapter 7 and 8). 5, a.
The energy use analysis requires DOE to establish a range of annual operating hours and
a range of average annual operating loads in order to estimate annual energy consumption by an
electric motor. For Design A, B, and C electric motors, SNEMs, and AO electric motors used in
the commercial and industrial sectors, DOE estimated the distributions of motor annual operating
hours and average annual operating load by application based on information from the DOEAMO report. In the agricultural sector, DOE relied on data from the 2013 Farm and Ranch
Irrigation Survey. For fire pump motors, DOE did not find application-specific operating hour
information and used a uniform distribution between 0.5 hours and 6 hours per year to establish
the annual operating hours, based on information from the May 2014 Final Rule. For SNEMs
and AO electric motors used in the residential sector, DOE relied on the same operating hours as
used in the Chapter 7 of the January 2021 Final Determination Technical Support Document for
small electric motors.
For each considered efficiency level, DOE determined the annual energy consumption
value by multiplying the motor input power by the annual operating hours in a representative
sample of electric motor consumers. DOE calculated the motor input power as the sum of: (1)
the electric motor rated horsepower multiplied by the electric motor operating load (i.e., the
motor output power), and of (2) the losses at the operating load (i.e., part-load losses). DOE
determined the part-load losses at a given operating load using outputs from the engineering
analysis (full-load efficiency at each efficiency level) and published part-load efficiency
information from 2020 catalog data from four large manufacturers to model motor part-load
losses as a function of the motor’s operating load.
For electric motors subject to energy conservation standards at 10 CFR 431.25 and AOMEMs, DOE also considered the impact of potential increases in speed on energy use. An
increase in the motor's efficiency can sometimes result in a higher operating speed and a
potential overloading of the motor. The cubic relation between speed and power requirements in
variable torque applications can affect the benefits gained by efficient motors, which may have a
lower slip. DOE incorporated this effect into the LCC analysis and assumed that 20 percent of
consumers with fan, pump, and air compressor applications would be negatively impacted by
higher operating speeds. Table ES.3.5.2 through Table ES.3.5.4 present the annual energy use
estimated at each efficiency level that DOE is considering for electric motors.
The 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey is the most recent version available that includes operating hour data
(the 2018 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey does not include operating hours information).

ES.3.6 Life-cycle Cost and Payback Period Analysis
DOE analyzed the net financial effect on consumers of potential standards for electric
motors by evaluating the LCC and PBP of the product (chapter 8 of this preliminary analysis
TSD). In performing this analysis, DOE used the cost-efficiency relationship derived from the
engineering and markups analyses, along with the energy costs derived from the energy use
characterization. Because the operating costs of more expensive, higher-efficiency equipment
may decrease in response to new standards, at some time in the life of that equipment the net
savings in operating costs since the time of purchase equal the increase in the purchase price of
the equipment. The time required for a product to reach that cost-equivalency point is known as
ES-13
the PBP. DOE’s analysis produces a simple PBP based on using single-point average values to
estimate the purchase price and undiscounted first-year operating cost.
DOE identified several inputs for estimating the LCC and simple PBP, including retail
prices and installation costs, energy prices, discount rates, and equipment lifetimes. DOE
examined installation, maintenance, and repair costs for the efficiency levels considered in this
preliminary analysis. DOE found that, incremental changes in energy efficiency produce no
changes in installation (other than shipping costs) and maintenance costs over baseline efficiency
equipment. DOE found that repair costs increase with efficiency and assumed that only units
above 20 horsepower are repaired. DOE used a breakpoint of 20 horsepower consistent with the
May 2014 Final Rule, and based on the findings from a previous DOE report 6 stating that
electric motor less than 20 horsepower tend to be replaced when they fail since repairing these
motors often exceeds the cost of a new motor. The LCC and simple PBP analysis utilized
values that reflect unit energy consumption in the field. For electricity prices, DOE used
marginal and average prices, which vary by region and sector. DOE estimated these prices using
Edison Electric Institute data published in its Typical Bills and Average Rates reports for summer
and winter 2020 and the methodology provided in a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
report. 7 DOE then used projections of the prices from EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2021 8
("AEO 2021") to estimate future electricity and natural gas prices.
DOE developed distributions of discount rates by estimating the cost of capital for
companies or public entities that purchase electric motors in the industrial, commercial, and
agricultural sectors. To establish residential discount rates for the LCC analysis, DOE identified
all relevant household debt or asset classes in order to approximate a consumer’s opportunity
cost of funds related to appliance energy cost savings.
DOE used probability distributions to characterize electric motor lifetimes. DOE first
estimated the average mechanical lifetime of electric motors in hours (i.e., the total number of
hours an electric motor operates throughout its lifetime) and used different values depending on
the electric motor's horsepower. DOE then developed Weibull distributions of mechanical
lifetimes. The lifetime in years for a sampled electric motor is calculated by dividing the sampled
mechanical lifetime by the sampled annual operating hours of the electric motor. This model
produces a negative correlation between annual hours of operation and electric motor lifetime:
electric motors operated many hours per year are likely to be retired sooner than electric motors
that are used for only a few hundred hours per year. Electric motors that are rated at less than 75
horsepower are typically embedded in other equipment such as pumps or compressors (i.e., an
application). For such applications, DOE developed Weibull distributions of application lifetimes
expressed in years and compared the sampled motor mechanical lifetime (in years) with the
sampled application lifetime. DOE assumed that the electric motor would be retired at the earlier
of the two ages. The resulting average lifetimes ranged from 6.7 to 30 years depending on the
representative unit considered.
To estimate the percentage of consumers who would be affected by a standard at each
efficiency level, the LCC analysis considered the projected distribution of efficiencies for
ES-14
electric motors purchased under the no-new-standards case. To estimate the energy efficiency
distribution of electric motors for 2026, DOE relied on model counts by efficiency from the 2016
and 2020 manufacturer catalog data and assumed no changes in electric motor efficiency over
time. Using the projected distribution of efficiencies for each representative unit, DOE assigned
a specific equipment efficiency to each consumer. If a consumer was assigned a product
efficiency that equaled or exceeded the efficiency of the efficiency level under consideration, the
LCC calculation showed that the consumer would be unaffected by that standard level.
Table ES.3.6.1 through Table ES.3.6.78 show the LCC and simple PBP results for
electric motor representative units by efficiency level. As described in section ES.1.2,
representative unit 2 is used to represent electric motors between 6 and 50 horsepower. Electric
motors at or below 20 horsepower are not repaired while units above 20 horsepower are repaired.
Therefore, for representative unit 2, DOE is presenting results with and without repair costs.

ES.3.7 Shipments Analysis
DOE estimated the shipments of regulated electric motors subject to energy conservation
standards at 10 CFR 431.25 to 4.5 million units in 2020 based on data from the 2019 LowVoltage Motors, World Market Report from IHS Markit 9 and on the share of low-voltage
motors b that are subject to the electric motors energy conservation standards. DOE estimated the
total shipments of SNEMs and AO electric motors in 2020 to be 20.6 million units and 8.2
million units, respectively. For electric motors subject to the energy conservation standards at 10
CFR 431.25, DOE developed a distribution of shipments by equipment class group, horsepower,
enclosure, and pole configuration based on data from manufacturer interviews. For SNEMs and
AO electric motors, DOE relied on model counts using the 2016/2020 Manufacturer Catalog
Data.
DOE projected shipments of electric motors regulated at 431.25 for the no-new standards
case under the assumption that long-term growth of electric motor shipments will be driven by
long-term growth of fixed investments. DOE relied on the AEO 2021 forecast of fixed
investments through 2050 to inform its shipments projection. For the years beyond 2050, DOE
assumed that fixed investment growth will follow the same growth trend as GDP, which DOE
projected based on the GDP forecast provided by AEO 2021. DOE estimated shipments for each
equipment class group and horsepower range based on the market shares by equipment class
group and horsepower range from manufacturer interviews. For SNEM and AO electric motors,
which are typically lower horsepower motors, DOE used the same methodology as in the March
2010 Final Rule and projected shipments using the following sector-specific market drivers from
b
Low-voltage means below or equal to 600 volts.
ES-50
AEO 2021: commercial building floor space, housing numbers, and value of manufacturing
activity for the commercial, residential, and industrial sector, respectively. DOE estimated
shipments for each equipment class group and horsepower range based on equipment class
group/horsepower range market shares using information gleaned from manufacturer interviews
and 2020 and 2016 Manufacturer Catalog data model counts.
Table ES.3.7.1 through Table ES.3.7.3 present DOE’s projections of shipments by
equipment class group and horsepower range for selected years of the analysis period. The
projections refer to estimates that DOE developed using the forecast in the AEO 2021 Reference
case. In addition to these projections, DOE projected shipments using the High-Economic
Growth and Low-Economic Growth cases in AEO 2021. See chapter 9 of the TSD.

In each standard case, DOE accounted for the possibility that some consumers may
choose to purchase a synchronous electric motor (which is outside the scope of this preliminary
analysis) rather than purchasing a more efficient NEMA Design A or B electric motor. DOE
developed a consumer choice model to estimate the percentage of consumers that would
ES-52
purchase a synchronous electric motor based on the payback period of such investment. Table
ES.3.7.4 presents DOE’s estimates of the percentages of consumers that would purchase a
synchronous electric motor instead of a NEMA Design A or B electric motor, for the horsepower
ranges within which DOE believes these purchase substitutions may occur.

ES.3.8 National Impact Analysis
The national impact analysis (“NIA”) estimates the following national impacts from
possible efficiency levels for electric motors: (1) national energy savings (NES); (2) monetary
value of the energy savings due to standards; (3) increased total installed costs of the considered
equipment due to standards; and (4) the net present value (NPV) of the difference between the
value of energy savings and increased total installed costs. DOE prepared spreadsheet models to
estimate energy savings and national consumer economic costs and savings resulting from
potential standards. In contrast to the LCC and PBP analyses, which use probability distributions
for the inputs, the NIA uses average or typical values for inputs.
In its analysis, DOE analyzes the energy and economic impacts of a potential standard on
all equipment classes aggregated by horsepower range. For electric motors subject to standards at
10 CFR 431.25, non-representative equipment classes (i.e., those not analyzed in the
engineering, energy-use, and LCC analyses) are scaled using results for the analyzed equipment
classes that best represents each non-representative equipment class. For example, results from
representative unit 1 (NEMA Design A and B electric motor, 5-horsepower, 4-pole, enclosed)
are scaled to represent all NEMA Design A and B electric motor equipment classes between 1
and 5 horsepower. See Table ES.3.8.1. Energy use values were calculated by applying the ratio
of the current federal standard baseline between the two equipment classes and ratio of
horsepower and assuming the incremental decrease between efficiency levels is the same for
representative and non-representative equipment classes. Retail price and installation costs (i.e.,
shipping costs) at EL0 were estimated using price and weight data obtained from 2020
Manufacturer Catalog Data and outputs from the engineering analysis, and assuming the
incremental cost between efficiency levels is the same for representative and non-representative
equipment classes. Repair costs for each non-represented equipment class were estimated based
on information from Vaughen's National Average Prices. 10 For each equipment class group and
horsepower range analyzed in the NIA, DOE then developed shipment-weighted average inputs
per unit. For SNEMs and AO electric motors, DOE did not scale the results of the representative
units due to the smaller size of horsepower ranges associated to each representative unit (See
Table ES.3.8.2 and Table ES.3.8.3), and lower shipments of motors at larger horsepower.

DOE calculated annual NES as the difference between national energy consumption in
the no-new-standards-case and under a potential standard set at each EL. Cumulative energy
savings are the sum of the annual NES over the period in which products shipped in 2026-2055
are in operation. The NES results shown in Table ES.3.8.4 through Table ES.3.8.6 are expressed
as full-fuel cycle energy savings in quads (quadrillion Btus).

DOE calculated net monetary savings in each year as the difference between total savings
in operating costs and increases in total equipment costs in the no-new-standards case and
standards cases. DOE calculated savings over the life of the equipment purchased in the forecast
period. The NPV is the difference between the present value of operating cost savings and the
present value of increased total installed costs. DOE used discount rates of 3 percent and 7
percent to discount future costs and savings to the present. DOE discounted costs and savings to
2021. The NPV results are shown in Table ES.3.8.7 through Table ES.3.8.12.

PURPOSE OF DOCUMENT
This Technical Support Document (TSD) provides the analytical approaches, inputs and
results associated with U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) study of energy conservation
standards for electric motors. This TSD also serves to provide technical detail and is a
compendium to the life-cycle cost (LCC) and payback period (PBP), and National Impact
Analysis (NIA) spreadsheets that are available on regulations.gov, docket number EERE-2020BT-STD-0007 at https://www.regulations.gov/docket/EERE-2020-BT-STD-0007
1.2
OVERVIEW OF THE APPLIANCES AND COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT
STANDARDS PROGRAM
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (“EPCA”), 1 authorizes DOE to
regulate the energy efficiency of several consumer products and certain industrial equipment.
(42 U.S.C. 6291–6317) Title III, Part C2 of EPCA, added by Public Law 95-619, Title IV,
§441(a) (42 U.S.C. 6311-6317, as codified), established the Energy Conservation Program for
Certain Industrial Equipment, which sets forth a variety of provisions designed to improve the
energy efficiency of certain types of industrial equipment, including electric motors, the subject
of this preliminary analysis. (42 U.S.C. 6311(1)(A))
Pursuant to EPCA, any new or amended standard must be designed to achieve the
maximum improvement in energy efficiency that is technologically feasible and economically
justified. (42 U.S.C. 6317(b)(1) and (2); 42 U.S.C. 6316(a); 42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(A)) In
determining whether a standard is economically justified, DOE must, after receiving views and
comments furnished with respect to the proposed standard, determine whether the benefits of the
standard exceed its burdens by, to the greatest extent practicable, considering:
1.
the economic impact of the standard on manufacturers and consumers of products
subject to the standard;
2.
the savings in operating costs throughout the estimated average life of the covered
products in the type (or class) compared to any increase in the price, initial
charges, or maintenance expenses for the covered products likely to result from
imposition of the standard;
3.
the total projected amount of energy savings likely to result directly from
imposition of the standard;
All references to EPCA in this document refer to the statute as amended through the Energy Act of 2020, Public
Law 116-260 (Dec. 27, 2020).

For editorial reasons, upon codification in the U.S. Code, Part C was redesignated Part A-1.
1
1-1
4.
any lessening of utility or performance of the covered products likely to result
from imposition of the standard;
5.
the impact of any lessening of competition, as determined in writing by the
Attorney General, likely to result from imposition of the standard;
6.
the need for national energy conservation; and
7.
other factors the Secretary considers relevant.
(42 U.S.C. 6316(a); 42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(B)(i)(I)-(VII))
Additionally, DOE must periodically review its already established energy conservation
standards for each type of covered equipment at least once every six years for covered
equipment. This 6-year look-back provision requires that DOE publish either a determination
that standards do not need to be amended or a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR), including
new proposed standards (proceeding to a final rule, as appropriate). (42 U.S.C. 6316(a); 42
U.S.C. 6295(m)(1)) EPCA further provides that, not later than 3 years after a final determination
not to amend standards, DOE must make a new determination not to amend the standards or
issue a NOPR including new proposed energy conservation standards. (42 U.S.C. 6316(a); 42
U.S.C. 6295(m)(3)(B)) DOE must make the analysis on which a determination is based publicly
available and provide an opportunity for written comment. (42 U.S.C. 6316(a); 42 U.S.C.
6295(m)(2))
In making a determination that the standards do not need to be amended, DOE must
evaluate under the criteria of 42 U.S.C. 6295(n)(2) whether amended standards (1) will result in
significant conservation of energy, (2) are technologically feasible, and (3) are cost effective as
described under 42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(B)(i)(II). (42 U.S.C. 6316(a); 42 U.S.C. 6295(m)(1)(A)
and (n)(2)) Under 42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(B)(i)(II), an evaluation of cost effectiveness requires
DOE to consider savings in operating costs throughout the estimated average life of the covered
product in the type (or class) compared to any increase in the price of, or in the initial charges
for, or maintenance expenses of, the covered products which are likely to result from the
imposition of the standard.
Before proposing a standard, DOE typically seeks public input on the analytical
framework, models, and tools that DOE intends to use to evaluate standards for the equipment at
issue and the results of preliminary analyses DOE performed for the equipment.
This TSD provides the analytical approaches, inputs, and results associated with DOE’s
preliminary analysis in satisfaction of the 6-year review requirement in EPCA.
1.3
OVERVIEW OF ELECTRIC MOTOR STANDARDS
On May 29, 2014, DOE published a final rule adopting new and amended energy
conservation standards for electric motors other than fire pump electric motors, consistent with
the efficiency levels (“ELs”) specified in Table 12-12 of National Electrical Manufacturers
1-2
Association (“NEMA”) Standards Publication MG 1-2011, “Motors and Generators,” and
retained the standards for fire pump electric motors. 79 FR 30934 (“May 2014 Final Rule”).
These standards are set forth in DOE’s regulations at 10 CFR 431.25.
1.4
PROCESS FOR SETTING ENERGY CONSERVATION STANDARDS
In conducting energy conservation standard rulemakings, DOE involves interested parties
through formal public notifications (i.e., Federal Register notices). On May 21, 2020, DOE
published notification that it was initiating an early assessment review to determine whether any
new or amended standards would satisfy the relevant requirements of EPCA for a new or
amended energy conservation standard for electric motors and a request for information (“RFI”).
85 FR 30878 (“May 2020 Early Assessment Review RFI”). Specifically, through the published
notification and request for information, DOE sought data and information that could enable the
agency to determine whether DOE should propose a “no new standard” determination because a
more stringent standard: (1) would not result in a significant savings of energy; (2) is not
technologically feasible; (3) is not economically justified; or (4) any combination of foregoing.
Id.
DOE received a number of comments from interested parties in response to the May 2020
Early Assessment Review RFI. Chapter 2 of the preliminary TSD summarizes and addresses the
comments received.
1.5

CHAPTER 2. ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK, COMMENTS FROM INTERESTED
PARTIES, AND DOE RESPONSES
2.1
INTRODUCTION
2.1.1
Overview
This chapter provides a description of the general analytical framework that DOE is using
to evaluate potential standards for electric motors. The analytical framework is a description of
the methodology, analytical tools, and relationships among the various analyses that are part of
this rulemaking. For example, the methodology that addresses the statutory requirement for
economic justification includes analyses of life-cycle cost (“LCC”), payback period (“PBP”),
national impact analysis (“NIA”), economic impact on manufacturers and users, national
benefits, impacts, if any, on utility companies, and impacts, if any, from lessening competition
among manufacturers.
Figure 2.1.1 summarizes the analytical components that may be conducted as part of the
standards-setting process. The focus of this figure is the center column, identified as “Analyses.”
The columns labeled “Key Inputs” and “Key Outputs” show how the analyses fit into the
rulemaking process, and how the analyses relate to each other. Key inputs are the types of data
and information that the analyses require. Some key inputs exist in public databases; DOE
collects other inputs from stakeholders or persons with special knowledge. Key outputs are
analytical results that feed directly into the standards-setting process. Dotted lines connecting
analyses show types of information that feed from one analysis to another.

The analyses performed as part of the preliminary analysis stage and reported in this
preliminary technical support document (“TSD”) are listed below.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A market and technology assessment to characterize the relevant product markets and
existing technology options, including prototype designs.
A screening analysis to review each technology option and determine if it is
technologically feasible; is practical to manufacture, install, and service; would adversely
affect product utility or product availability; or would have adverse impacts on health and
safety.
An engineering analysis to develop cost-efficiency relationships that show the
manufacturer’s cost of achieving increased efficiency.
An analysis of markups for determining product price; markups throughout the
distribution channel relate the manufacturer production cost (“MPC”) to the retail cost
paid by the consumer.
An energy use analysis to determine the annual energy use of the considered product for
a representative set of users.
A life-cycle cost (“LCC”) and payback period (“PBP”) analysis to calculate the savings
in operating costs the consumer will realize throughout the life of the covered product
compared to any increase in installed product cost likely to result directly from
imposition of a standard.
A shipments analysis to forecast product shipments, which then are used to calculate the
national impacts of potential standards on energy consumption, net present value
(“NPV”), and future manufacturer cash flows.
A national impact analysis (“NIA”) to assess the aggregate impacts, at the national level,
of potential energy conservation standards for the considered product, as measured by the
NPV of total consumer economic impacts and the national energy savings (“NES”).
A preliminary manufacturer impact analysis (“MIA”) to assess the potential impacts of
energy conservation standards on manufacturers, such as impacts on capital conversion
expenditures, marketing costs, shipments, and research and development costs.
The analyses DOE will perform in any subsequent notice of proposed rulemaking
(“NOPR”) stage include those listed below.
•
•
•
•
An LCC subgroup analysis to evaluate variations in customer characteristics that
might cause a standard to affect particular consumer sub-populations, such as
low-income households, differently than the overall population.
An MIA to estimate the financial impact of standards on manufacturers and to
calculate impacts on competition, employment, and manufacturing capacity.
A utility impact analysis to estimate the effects of proposed standards on electric
utilities.
An employment impact analysis to assess the aggregate impacts of amended
energy conservation standards on national employment.
2-3
•
•
An environmental impact analysis to provide estimates of the effects of amended
energy conservation standards on emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur
dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), and mercury (Hg), and of two additional
greenhouse gases, methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O).
A regulatory impact analysis to present major alternatives to proposed amended
energy conservation standards that could achieve substantially the same
regulatory goal at a lower cost.
In addition, DOE will revise the analyses it performed in the preliminary analysis based
on comments and new information received on topics including, but not limited, to those listed
throughout this chapter. Appendix 2A summarizes the requests for comments presented in this
chapter.
In place of the framework document, DOE published a request for information (“RFI”)
on May 21, 2020 (the “May 2020 Early Assessment RFI”) describing the approaches and
methods DOE will use in evaluating the need for amended standards for electric motors. 85 FR
30878. In response to May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, DOE received comments from
interested parties regarding DOE’s analytical approach. 85 FR 30878.

2.1.2
Test Procedure
DOE is conducting a rulemaking concerning the test procedure for certain electric
motors. On December 17, 2021, DOE published a test procedure notice of proposed rulemaking
(“NOPR”) for electric motors. (“December 2021 TP NOPR”) The December 2021 TP NOPR
proposed to use full-load efficiency metrics for all electric motors within its proposed scope. 86
FR 71710, 71743-71745.
In response to the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, the CA IOUs commented that partload operational performance with a variable-speed drive (“VSD”) of expanded-scope motors
can significantly exceed that of conventional induction motors over most ranges of load and
speed, and that permanent magnet motors demonstrate particularly excellent part-load efficiency
under low-load conditions. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at p. 6-7)
Variable-speed technologies (i.e., motors driven by variable frequency drives) are
included within the proposed scope of the electric motors test procedure. 86 FR 71710, 7172671727. Although the December 2021 TP NOPR proposed to use full-load efficiency metrics for
all electric motors within its proposed scope, the energy use analysis is calculated based on
motor operating load conditions in the field (i.e., not at full-load).
2.2
SCOPE OF COVERAGE
2.2.1
Electric Motors Regulated at 10 CFR 431.25
The definition for “electric motor” is “a machine that converts electrical power into
rotational mechanical power.” 10 CFR 431.12. Currently, DOE regulates electric motors falling
into the NEMA Design A, NEMA Design B, NEMA Design C, and fire pump motor categories
and those electric motors that meet the criteria specified at 10 CFR 431.25(g). 10 CFR
431.25(h)-(j). Section 431.25(g) specifies that the relevant standards apply only to electric
motors, including partial electric motors, that satisfy the following criteria:
1) Are single-speed, induction motors;
The parenthetical reference provides a reference for information located in the docket of DOE’s rulemaking to
develop energy conservation standards for electric motors. (Docket No. EERE-2020-BT-STD-0007 which is
maintained at www.regulations.gov/docket/EERE-2020-BT-STD-0007). The references are arranged as follows:
(commenter name, comment docket ID number, page of that document).
a
2-5
2) Are rated for continuous duty (MG 1) operation or for duty type S1 (IEC)
3) Contain a squirrel-cage (MG 1) or cage (IEC) rotor;
4) Operate on polyphase alternating current 60-hertz sinusoidal line power;
5) Are rated 600 volts or less;
6) Have a 2-, 4-, 6-, or 8-pole configuration;
7) Are built in a three-digit or four-digit NEMA frame size (or IEC metric equivalent),
including those designs between two consecutive NEMA frame sizes (or IEC metric
equivalent), or an enclosed 56 NEMA frame size (or IEC metric equivalent);
8) Produce at least one horsepower (0.746 kW) but not greater than 500 horsepower (373
kW), and
9) Meet all of the performance requirements of one of the following motor types: A
NEMA Design A, B, or C motor or an IEC Design N or H motor.
10 CFR 431.25(g).
NEMA Design A, B and C motors are all squirrel-cage motors. NEMA Design A and B
motors are very similar with one main difference being the absence of locked-rotor current limits
for NEMA Design A motors. (NEMA Design B motors have maximum locked-rotor current
limits specified in NEMA MG 1-2009.) Otherwise, NEMA Design A and NEMA Design B
motors have similar requirements for locked-rotor, pull-up, and breakdown torque, which result
in their use in similar applications. IEC Design N motors have similar locked-rotor, pull-up, and
breakdown torque requirements except that these requirements are specified in IEC 60034-12
edition 2.1 rather than in NEMA MG 1-2009.
NEMA Design C motors, by contrast, have higher torque requirements than NEMA
Design A or B motors. The difference in torque requirements restrict which applications can use
which NEMA design types. As a result, NEMA Design C motors will not always be replaceable
with NEMA Design A or B motors, or vice versa. IEC Design H motors have similar torque
requirements except these are specified in IEC 60034-12 edition 2.1.
Fire pump electric motors are motors with special design characteristics that make them
more suitable for emergency operation. These electric motors, per the requirements of National
Fire Protection (“NFPA”) standard NFPA 20, must be marked as complying with NEMA Design
B performance standards and be capable of operating even if it overheats or may be damaged due
to continued operation.
2-6
The definitions for NEMA Design A motors, NEMA Design B motors, NEMA Design C
motors, fire pump electric motors, IEC Design N motors and IEC Design H motors are codified
in 10 CFR 431.12.
DOE has also exempted certain categories of motors from being regulated including:
•
Air-over electric motors;
•
Component sets of an electric motor;
•
Liquid-cooled electric motors;
•
Submersible electric motors; and
•
Inverter-only electric motors.
10 CFR 431.25(l)
2.2.2
Definitions
In the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, DOE requested comments on whether additional
equipment definitions are necessary to clarify any potential definitional ambiguities between
existing equipment class groups. Further, DOE also requested comment on whether IEC Design
NE, NEY, NY, HE, HEY, and HY motors are equivalent designs to NEMA Design A, B, or C
motors. 85 FR 30878, 30881. DOE provided preliminary responses to the comments regarding
electric motors scope and definitions in the December 2021 TP NOPR. Accordingly, in the
December 2021 TP NOPR, DOE proposed to specify that certain equipment described using IEC
Design letters are within the scope of the current electric motors test procedure. Specifically,
DOE clarified that IEC Design NE, NY, NEY, HE, HY and HEY motors are variants of IEC
Design N and IEC Design H motors. 86 FR 71710, 86 FR 71728-71729.
In response to the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, NEMA commented that no additions
or modifications to equipment definitions for equipment class groups are needed. (NEMA, No. 4
at p. 2) DOE proposed definitions related to the proposed applicability of the electric motors test
procedures to additional varieties of electric motors to eliminate ambiguity in the previous
definitions. 86 FR 71710, 71729-71732.
2-7
2.2.3
Expanded Scope
DOE is proposing to expand the scope of energy conservation standards to include
certain electric motors that do not meet the scoping criteria presented in section 2.2.1. The scope
of potential energy conservation standards contemplated for future analysis is described in the
December 2021 TP NOPR and in section 2.2.3.1. 86 FR 71710, 71715-71728. In this preliminary
analysis, DOE provides additional analysis for two categories of electric motors that are
currently not subject to energy conservations standards and are proposed for inclusion in the
December 2021 TP. (See section 2.2.3.2) DOE may also consider expanding the scope of
analysis for future stages of this rulemaking to include the additional categories of electric
motors proposed for inclusion in the December 2021 TP. (See section 2.2.3.3)
2.2.3.1
Summary of Proposed Expanded TP Scope
In the December 2021 TP NOPR, DOE proposed to add the following categories of
electric motors in the scope of the test procedure:
Electric motors above 500 horsepower;
Small, Non-Small-Electric-Motor, Electric Motors ("SNEM"), and
Electric motors that are synchronous motors.
86 FR 71710, 71715-71728
In addition, DOE proposed to remove the exemptions for air-over, inverter-only, and
submersible electric motors.
As proposed in the December 2021 TP NOPR, an “electric motors above 500
horsepower” is an electric motor having a rated horsepower above 500 and up to 750 hp that
meets the criteria listed at 431.25(g), with the exception of criteria 431.25(g)(8), and are not
listed at 431.25(l)(2)-(4).
86 FR 71710, 71719.
As proposed in the December 2021 TP, an SNEM is an electric motor that:
(a) Is not a small electric motor, as defined in section 431.442 and is not a dedicated pool
pump motor as defined in section 431.483;
(b) Is rated for continuous duty (MG 1) operation or for duty type S1 (IEC);
2-8
(c) Is capable of operating on polyphase or single phase alternating current 60-hertz (Hz)
sinusoidal line power (with or without an inverter);
(d) Is rated for 600 volts or less;
(e) Is a single-speed induction motor;
(f) Produces a rated motor horsepower greater than or equal to 0.25 horsepower (0.18
kW); and
(g) Is built in the following frame sizes: any frame sizes if the motor operates on singlephase power; any frame size if the motor operates on polyphase power, and has a rated motor
horsepower less than 1 horsepower (0.75 kW); or a two-digit NEMA frame size (or IEC metric
equivalent), if the motor operates on polyphase power, has a rated motor horsepower equal to or
greater than 1 horsepower (0.75 kW), and is not an enclosed 56 NEMA frame size (or IEC
metric equivalent). 86 FR 71710, 71722-71723.
As proposed an “Electric Motor that is a Synchronous Motor” is:
(1) Not a dedicated purpose pool pump motor as defined at section 431.438
(2) A synchronous electric motor;
(3) Are rated for continuous duty (MG1) or operation for duty type S1 (IEC)
(4) Capable of operating on polyphase or single phase alternating current 60-hertz (Hz);
sinusoidal line power (with or without an inverter);
(5) Rated 600 volts or less;
(6) Has a 2-, 4-, 6-, 8-pole configuration;
(7) Produces at least 0.25 hp (0.18 kW) but not greater than 750 hp (559 kW).”
86 FR 71710, 71727.
As proposed, an air-over electric motor is an electric motor an electric motor that does
not reach thermal equilibrium (i.e., thermal stability) during a rated load temperature test
according to section 2 of Appendix B, without the application of forced cooling by a free flow of
air from an external device not mechanically connected to the motor
2-9
86 FR 71710, 71731.
As proposed, an inverter-only electric motor is as an electric motor that is capable of
continuous operation solely with an inverter, and is not designed for operation when directly
connected to AC sinusoidal or DC power supply.
86 FR 71710, 71730.
As proposed, A “submersible electric motor” is an electric motor that:
(1) Is intended to operate continuously only while submerged in liquid;
(2) Is capable of operation while submerged in liquid for an indefinite period of time; and
(3) Has been sealed to prevent ingress of liquid from contacting the motor's internal parts.
10 CFR 431.12.
2.2.3.2
Electric Motors Analyzed in This Preliminary Analysis
In addition to electric motors described in section 2.2.1 (i.e., those regulated at 10 CFR
431.25), DOE analyzed the following categories of electric motors in this preliminary analysis,
all of which are described in the December 2021 TP NOPR and in section 2.2.3.1:
1) Small, Non-Small-Electric-Motor, Electric Motors ("SNEM") that do not have air-over
enclosures; b
2) Electric Motors with air-over ("AO") enclosures that otherwise meet the description of
a currently regulated “medium” electric motor (see section 2.2.1) ("AO-MEMs") or of a
SNEM ("AO-SNEMs").
86 FR 71710, 71717-71725.
In this preliminary analysis, DOE did not include SNEMs that are inverter-only or
submersible electric motors.
This preliminary analysis is using the term “SNEM,” or “Small, Non-SEM Electric Motor,” to reference these
motors as described in the December 2021 TP NOPR. In the rest of this TSD, SNEMs designates SNEMs that do
not have an air-over enclosure, while AO-SNEM designate SNEMs with an air-over enclosure.

2-10
The Efficiency Advocates commented that tens of millions of currently unregulated low
horsepower motors are sold each year and minimum standards could potentially achieve large
savings. (Efficiency Advocates, No. 9 at p. 5) In this preliminary analysis, DOE included
SNEMs with horsepower equal to or greater than 0.25 hp.
2.2.3.3
Potential Future Further Expansion
For this preliminary analysis, DOE is only presenting technical analysis for electric
motors currently subject to energy conservation standards in 10 CFR 431.25(g) as well as
additional electric motors identified in section 2.2.3.2 – SNEMs, AO-MEMs, and AO-SNEMs.
DOE may consider analyzing energy conservation standards for additional electric
motors that may be covered under the "electric motor" definition and present any corresponding
technical analysis in the energy conservation standards NOPR. Specifically, DOE may consider
including electric motors above 500 horsepower and electric motors that are synchronous
motors. DOE may also consider removing the exemptions for inverter-only electric motors and
submersible electric motors.
DOE seeks comment regarding the potential to include additional categories of electric
motors.
2.2.4
Comments Related to Scope
2.2.4.1
Supporting Expansion
Several commenters supported expanding the scope of coverage generally and in several
specific areas.
CDA recommended that DOE investigate motor categories beyond the current scope,
specifically noting motors over 500 HP. (CDA, No. 3 at p. 1)
The CA IOUs recommended that DOE expand scope to include switched-reluctance
motors, synchronous-reluctance motors, permanent-magnet (PM) alternating-current (AC)
(PMAC) motors, permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), and motors with integrated
variable-speed drives because there is potential for significant energy savings. (CA IOUs, No. 7
at p. 1)
The CA IOUs commented that IE4 motors are capable of displacing conventional NEMA
general purpose motors (i.e., type B) motors in core general purpose motor applications.
Therefore, they recommended that modern motor architectures and conventional induction
motors are competing in the same space, therefore, should be analyzed together, and joint
coverage may be warranted. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at p. 10)
2-11
The CA IOUs stated that economically, these expanded scope motors are experiencing
both cost reductions and continued market growth. CA IOUs presented a relative cost table of
IE4 electric motors for a number of electric motor topologies. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at pp. 8-9) CA
IOUs stated that one manufacturer reports highly efficient motors based on PMSMs with 30
percent lower core losses and ten percent less energy consumption in end-use applications than
IE3 motors. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at p. 5) The CA IOUs noted that part-load efficiency for motors
falling within the expanded scope would exceed conventional induction motor efficiency when
paired with a VSD and that PM motors demonstrate particularly high part-load efficiency under
low-load conditions. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at p. 6)
NEEA recommended DOE expand its scope to include not only advanced motor
technologies, but also shaded pole, permanent-split capacitor, and split phase motors. (NEEA,
No. 8 at p. 2)
The Efficiency Advocates commented that DOE may be able to achieve larger savings by
expanding the scope of DOE’s motor standards to address advanced motor technologies,
additional types of induction motors (air-over and submersible) and low horsepower motors that
are not currently regulated. (Efficiency Advocates, No. 9 at p. 1) They suggested that air-over
motors and submersible motors have large annual shipments since they are used in two of the
most common motor applications: fans and pumps. (Efficiency Advocates, No. 9 at p. 4) They
also recommended that DOE expand the scope to include advanced motors such as synchronous
reluctance motors, line-start permanent magnet motors, electronically commutated motors,
switched reluctance and written-pole motors; going on to state that ABB markets its line of IE4
compliant synchronous reluctance motors as perfect for retrofits and WEG advertises a line of
permanent magnet motors as "IE5 Ultra Premium" motors. (Efficiency Advocates, No. 9 at p. 34) The Efficiency Advocates recommended that DOE expand the scope to include additional
small motors, such as shaded pole, permanent split capacitor, and split phase. They stated that
these motors typically have efficiency performance levels well below regulated small electric
motors and that tens of millions of currently unregulated low horsepower motors are sold each
year and applying minimum standards to these unregulated motors could potentially achieve very
large savings. (Efficiency Advocates, No. 9 at p. 4 - 5)
NEMA commented that IEC Design NE, NEY, NY, HE, HEY, and HY motors are
equivalent designs to NEMA Design A, B, or C motors. (NEMA, No. 4 at p. 2)
2.2.4.2
Not Supporting Expansion
Lennox commented that DOE should not expand the scope energy conservations
standards beyond those electric motors DOE already regulates and particularly not in the
HVACR industry (this includes maintaining the current exemptions). (Lennox, No. 6 at p. 1)
2-12
2.2.4.3
Motor System Approach
Two commenters supported a “system” approach to energy conservation standards,
wherein standards are applied at the level of a system or assembly that contains an electric motor
without introducing or amending standards specific to the (subcomponent) electric motor.
Lennox opposed regulating components (like electric motors) that are used in covered products
and covered equipment and supported a finished-product approach to energy efficiency
regulation. (Lennox, No. 6 at p. 2) Similarly, CDA suggested that overall evaluation of “system”
efficiency is very important and represents in many applications important and major
opportunities for improved efficiency. (CDA, No. 3 at p. 2)
2.2.5
Conclusion
DOE is aligning the scope of this preliminary analysis with that of the December 2021
TP NOPR, including the rationale for the proposed definitions regarding the proposal proposing
to include certain additional electric motors within the scope of the test procedure. The scope of
this preliminary analysis is discussed in section 2.2.
Regarding comments supporting a “system approach” with respect to electric motors,
DOE does employ such an approach in developing energy conservation standards for various
covered equipment which may include electric motors as components. Different efficiency levels
may be cost effective for different covered equipment as a function of the specific manufacturing
and operating costs of that equipment. The possible presence of electric motors in such other
covered equipment, however, does not exclude the possibility of cost-effective energy
conservation standards for electric motors individually, which is the subject of this rulemaking.
2.3
MARKET AND TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT
When initiating a standards rulemaking, DOE develops information on the present and
past industry structure and market characteristics for the equipment concerned. This activity
assesses the industry and equipment, both quantitatively and qualitatively, based on publicly
available information. As such, for the considered equipment, DOE addressed the following: (1)
manufacturer market share and characteristics; (2) existing regulatory and non-regulatory
equipment efficiency improvement initiatives; (3) equipment classes; and (4) trends in
equipment characteristics and retail markets. This information serves as resource material
throughout the rulemaking and can be found in chapter 3 of the TSD.
2.3.1
Equipment Classes
DOE must specify a different standard level for a type or class of product that has the
same function or intended use, if DOE determines that products within such group: (A) consume
a different kind of energy from that consumed by other covered products within such type (or
class); or (B) have a capacity or other performance-related feature which other products within
such type (or class) do not have and such feature justifies a higher or lower standard. (42 U.S.C.
2-13
6316(a); 42 U.S.C. 6295(q)(1)) In determining whether a performance-related feature justifies a
different standard for a group of products, DOE must consider such factors as the utility to the
consumer of the feature and other factors DOE deems appropriate. Id. Any rule prescribing such
a standard must include an explanation of the basis on which such higher or lower level was
established. (42 U.S.C. 6316(a); 42 U.S.C. 6295(q)(2))
As described in section 2.2.3, this preliminary analysis includes: (1) motors already
subject to energy conservation standards at 10 CFR 431.25(g); (2) motors not currently subject to
energy conservation standards for which analysis and results are presented; and (3) motors not
currently subject to energy conservation standards for which analysis and results are not
presented. Equipment classes are discussed separately for each of these three categories of
electric motors.
2.3.1.1
EMs Regulated at 10 CFR 431.25
For electric motors subject to standards at 10 CFR 431.25, due to the large number of
characteristics involved in electric motor design, DOE developed both “equipment class groups”
and “equipment classes”. With respect to equipment class groups, the current energy
conservation standards specified in 10 CFR 431.25 are based on three broad equipment
groupings determined according to performance-related features that provide utility to the
consumer and are described in terms of motor design (i.e., NEMA Design A and B, NEMA
Design C, and Fire Pump Motors).
Electric Motor Design
Various industry organizations, such as NEMA and IEC, publish performance criteria
that provide specifications that electric motors must meet in order to be assigned different design
types. As these design types represent a certain set of performance parameters, they provide
electric motor users with an easy reference to use when designing their equipment and when
purchasing a motor to drive their equipment. The electric motors within the current scope of this
analysis must meet one of three NEMA design types. For medium polyphase alternating current
(AC) induction motors, the three NEMA design types considered general purpose and that are
covered by EPCA, as amended by EISA 2007, are Design A, Design B, and Design C. The
definitions for these three motor types, as codified in 10 CFR Part 431.12, are as follows:
“NEMA Design A motor” means a squirrel-cage motor that (1) is designed to withstand
full-voltage starting and developing locked-rotor torque as shown in NEMA MG 1-2009,
paragraph 12.38.1 (incorporated by reference, see §431.15); (2) has pull-up torque not less than
the values shown in NEMA MG 1-2009, paragraph 12.40.1; (3) has breakdown torque not less
than the values shown in NEMA MG 1-2009, paragraph 12.39.1; (4) has a locked-rotor current
greater than the values shown in NEMA MG 1-2009, paragraph 12.35.1 for 60 hertz and NEMA
MG 1-2009, paragraph 12.35.2 for 50 hertz; and (5) has a slip at rated load of less than 5 percent
for motors with fewer than 10 poles.
2-14
“NEMA Design B motor” means a squirrel-cage motor that (1) is designed to withstand
full-voltage starting, (2) develops locked-rotor, breakdown, and pull-up torques adequate for
general application as specified in sections 12.38, 12.39 and 12.40 of NEMA Standards
Publication MG 1–2009 (incorporated by reference, see § 431.15), (3) draws locked-rotor current
not to exceed the values shown in section 12.35.1 for 60 hertz and 12.35.2 for 50 hertz of NEMA
Standards Publication MG 1–2009, and (4) has a slip at rated load of less than 5 percent for
motors with fewer than 10 poles.
“NEMA Design C motor” means a squirrel-cage motor that: (1) is designed to withstand
full-voltage starting and developing locked-rotor torque for high-torque applications up to the
values shown in NEMA MG1-2009, paragraph 12.38.2 (incorporated by reference, see §431.15);
(2) has pull-up torque not less than the values shown in NEMA MG1-2009, paragraph 12.40.2;
(3) has breakdown torque not less than the values shown in NEMA MG1-2009, paragraph
12.39.2; (4) has a locked-rotor current not to exceed the values shown in NEMA MG1-2009,
paragraphs 12.35.1 for 60 hertz and 12.35.2 for 50 hertz; and (5) has a slip at rated load of less
than 5 percent.
NEMA Design A and NEMA Design B motors have different locked-rotor current
requirements. NEMA Design A motors have no locked-rotor current limits whereas NEMA
Design B motors are required to stay below certain maximums specified in NEMA MG 1-2011,
paragraph 12.35.1. This tolerance for higher locked-rotor current will allow NEMA Design A
motors to reach the same efficiency levels (“ELs”) as NEMA Design B with fewer design
changes and constraints. However, NEMA Design A and NEMA Design B motors have the same
requirements for locked-rotor, pull-up, and breakdown torque and are consequently used in many
of the same applications. Additionally, as is shown in section 2.9 below, NEMA Design B
motors constitute a significantly larger population of the electric motors that are shipped relative
to NEMA Design A motors.
NEMA Design C motors, on the other hand, have different torque requirements than
NEMA Design A or B motors. NEMA Design C motors typically have higher torque
requirements. DOE believes that this performance change represents a change in utility which
can also affect efficiency. Additionally, the difference in torque requirements will restrict which
applications can use which NEMA Design types. As a result, NEMA Design C motors will not
always be interchangeable with NEMA Design A or B motors, or vice versa.
Congress applied the same energy conservation standards to NEMA Design A and
NEMA Design B motors through EPACT 1992 (42 U.S.C. 6311(13)(A)) and EISA 2007 (42
U.S.C. 6311(13)(A)) (see requirements for general purpose electric motors (subtype I)). For this
preliminary analysis, DOE has followed the precedent set by EPACT 1992 and EISA 2007 and
has considered NEMA Design A and B motors in a group together, while placing NEMA Design
C motors in their own equipment class group. Additionally, IEC-equivalent design types are also
within the scope of this preliminary analysis and grouped with their corresponding NEMA
design letter type.
2-15
Fire Pump Electric Motors
EISA 2007 prescribed energy conservation standards for electric motors that are fire
pump motors. (42 U.S.C. § 6313(b)(2)(B)) EISA 2007 did not define “fire pump motor.” In
general, fire pump electric motors are motors with special design characteristics that make them
more suitable for emergency operation. DOE adopted a definition of “fire pump electric motor,”
which incorporated portions of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 20,
“Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection” (2010). Per the
requirements of NFPA 20, these electric motors are required to be marked to indicate their
compliance with NEMA Design B performance standards and be capable of operating even if it
overheats or may be damaged due to continued operation.
Rated Output Power
Rated output power is a measurement directly related to the capacity of an electric motor
to perform useful work and, therefore, it is one of DOE’s primary criteria in considering
equipment classes. Rated output power characterizes the rate at which a motor can do work and
is typically measured in horsepower or watts. c Generally, that efficiency scales with horsepower.
For example, a 50-horsepower motor is usually more efficient than a 10-horsepower motor of
similar design and technology. Rated output power is a critical performance attribute of an
electric motor, and because there is a direct correlation between horsepower and efficiency, DOE
uses rated output power as an equipment class criterion for this preliminary analysis.
Pole Configuration
An electric motor’s pole configuration corresponds to the number of magnetic poles d
present in the motor. Consequently, the number of magnetic poles (or “poles”) dictates the
revolutions per minute (“RPM”) of the rotor and shaft. For each pole configuration, there is a
corresponding synchronous speed, in RPMs, which is the theoretical maximum speed at which a
motor might operate without a load. All of the electric motors being examined by DOE as part of
its standards analysis are asynchronous motors, meaning they cannot reach this speed. There is
an inverse relationship between the number of poles and a motor’s speed. As the number of poles
increases from two to four to six to eight, the synchronous speed drops from 3,600 to 1,800 to
1,200 to 900 RPMs. Because the number of poles has a direct impact on the rotational speed of a
motor shaft, it also affects a motor’s utility and performance, including efficiency. Therefore,
DOE is also using pole configuration to separate equipment classes for this preliminary analysis.
1 horsepower equals 745.7 watts.
Poles can be thought of where the stator’s magnetic field primarily originates. The stator’s magnetic field is what
exerts torque on the rotor, causing it to rotate.
c
d
2-16
Enclosure
There are two primary variations of enclosures for electric motors: open and enclosed.
DOE defines both of these terms at 10 CFR 431.12. An “enclosed motor” is “an electric motor so
constructed as to prevent the free exchange of air between the inside and outside of the case but
not sufficiently enclosed to be termed airtight.” An open motor is defined under 10 CFR 431.12
as “an electric motor having ventilating openings which permit passage of external cooling air
over and around the windings of the machine.”
Electric motors manufactured with open construction allow a free interchange of air
between the electric motor’s interior and exterior. Electric motors with enclosed construction
have no direct air interchange between the motor’s interior and exterior (but are not necessarily
pressure-tight) and may be equipped with an internal fan for cooling. Whether an electric motor
is open or enclosed affects its utility; open motors are generally not used in harsh operating
environments, whereas totally enclosed electric motors may be. The enclosure type also affects
an electric motor’s ability to dissipate heat, which affects efficiency. For these reasons, DOE
used an electric motor’s enclosure type (open or enclosed) as an equipment class factor in this
preliminary analysis.
Table 2.3.1 lists the current three equipment class groups for electric motors and the
associated factors for delineating an individual equipment class.

In the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, DOE requested comment on whether changes to
these individual equipment class groups and the associated class factors should be made or
whether certain class groups should be merged or separated. Further, DOE also sought
2-17
information regarding any other new equipment class groups it should consider for inclusion in
its analysis. 85 FR 30878, 30881-30882.
NEMA commented that the current electric motor equipment class groups are sufficient
and that no changes are needed. (NEMA, No. 4 at p. 2) DOE did not receive any other comments
on the current equipment classes.
DOE reviewed the current electric motor equipment class groups and found that the
performance differences in each group were still present. Consequently, DOE tentatively
concludes that no changes are currently justified for these equipment class groups. DOE may
consider additional factors to further delineate equipment classes in a potential future NOPR,
particularly for motors outside the scope of current standards, if DOE obtains information
suggesting they are warranted.
DOE seeks comment regarding the current equipment classes for electric motors. DOE
specifically seeks comment on the availability of NEMA Design C motors and if there are cases
for which a NEMA Design A motor could, or commonly does, replace a NEMA Design C
motor.
DOE seeks comment regarding whether motors built in an open enclosure should be
subject to the same standards as enclosed motors. DOE seeks comment on if a given enclosed
motor could meet the same or higher efficiency standards as an open motor, what utility could be
lost be switching to an enclosed motor from an open one.
2.3.1.2
EMs Analyzed in Preliminary Analysis
DOE is considering additional factors to delineate equipment classes under an expanded
scope. The following paragraphs discuss DOE’s preliminary research and requests for comment
on potential equipment classes if DOE were to consider standards for an expanded scope of
coverage for electric motors.
SNEMs (Small, Non-SEM, Electric Motors)
In the December 2021 TP NOPR, DOE proposed to extend the scope of applicability of
the electric motors test procedure to include certain motors that the NOPR referred to as
“Electric Motors Considered Small by Industry.” The December 2021 TP NOPR specifically
addressed electric motors that are not “small electric motors” as that term is defined at 10 CFR
431.442, but that are nonetheless considered small by industry (i.e., “small motors”). To
reference those motors clearly and succinctly, this preliminary analysis will use the acronym
“SNEM” to represent “Small, Non-small-electric-motor, Electric Motor.” In this section, DOE
specifically discusses SNEMs that are induction motors. Synchronous motors are discussed in
section 2.3.1.3.
2-18
The December 2021 TP NOPR proposed to include SNEMs meeting the criteria listed in
Table 2.3.2.
Table 2.3.2 SNEMs Proposed in Scope by December 2021 TP NOPR
Criteria
Description
Number
Are not small electric motors, as defined at 10 CFR 431.442 and are not
1
dedicated- purpose pool pump motors as defined at 10 CFR 431.483.
2
Are single-speed induction motors
3
Are rated for continuous duty (MG 1) operation or for duty type S1 (IEC)
Capable of operating on polyphase or single phase alternating current 604
hertz (Hz) sinusoidal line power (with or without an inverter)
5
Are rated for 600 volts or less
Are built in the following frame sizes:
Any frame sizes if the motor operates on single-phase power;
Any frame size if the motor operates on polyphase power, and has a rated
motor horsepower less than 1 horsepower (0.75 kW); or
6
A two-digit NEMA frame size (or IEC metric equivalent), if the motor
operates on polyphase power, has a rated motor horsepower equal to or
greater than 1 horsepower (0.75 kW), and is not an enclosed 56 NEMA
frame size (or IEC metric equivalent).
Produce a rated motor horsepower greater than or equal to 0.25
7
horsepower (0.18 kW)
Through market research, DOE found that a variety of topologies appear in this category,
including shaded-pole, permanent-split-capacitor, split-phase, capacitor-start induction-run, and
capacitor-start, capacitor-run motors. While the topologies vary in a number of ways, a primary
basis for selection appears to be the locked-rotor torque e required by the intended application.
Certain applications, for example, some fans, may be relatively indifferent to locked-rotor
torque, whereas for others, a minimum locked-rotor torque may be required to begin operation.
DOE has tentatively determined to use locked-rotor torque as an equipment class factor for a
supplementary preliminary engineering analysis it conducted based on available SNEM catalog
data harvested in 2016, the results of which are presented in section 2.5.5.2.
Locked-rotor torque refers to torque developed by an electric motor whose rotor is locked in place, i.e., not
rotating. Locked-rotor torque characterizes a motor’s ability to begin moving loads at rest, an attribute which is
important to varying degree across applications.
e
2-19
DOE seeks comment regarding the use of a combination of output power, phase count,
and locked-rotor torque as an equipment class factor for potential energy conservation standards
for electric motors.
DOE seeks comment on if any applications require a low locked-rotor torque and would
not operate with a high locked-rotor torque motor. DOE seeks comment specifically regarding
whether locked-rotor torque is necessary to maintain as an equipment class factor if the highesttorque SNEMs (e.g., CSCR) can reach the highest available efficiency levels among the set of
electric motors which are used as substitutes for similar applications.
Air-Over Electric Motors
DOE currently defines an air-over electric motor at 10 CFR 431.12 as an electric motor
“rated to operate in and be cooled by the airstream of a fan or blower that is not supplied with the
motor and whose primary purpose is providing airflow to an application other than the motor
driving it.” As such, these motors are often designed without an internal fan, which allows for
smaller packaging, reduced cost, and possibly higher measured efficiency since the motor is not
driving an internal fan. However, the inability to self-cool may be a limitation in many
applications where cooling airflow is unavailable or uncertain. DOE tentatively concludes that
the inability to self-cool would be a performance-related feature that justifies a separate class.
DOE seeks comment regarding the use of inability to self-cool, or “air-over” rating, as an
equipment class factor for potential energy conservation standards for electric motors.
2.3.1.3
EMs Not Analyzed in Preliminary Analysis
Synchronous Electric Motors
The December 2021 TP NOPR proposed to include certain synchronous electric motors
within the scope of the electric motors test procedure. In contrast to induction electric motors,
synchronous electric motors do not “slip” f relative to the frequency of the electrical power
provided to them. g Examples of synchronous electric motors include, but are not limited to, line
Slip expresses the relative degree to which an asynchronous electric motor’s rotor lags the electrical input signal.
For example, a 2-pole induction motor rotating at 3420 rpm, relative to a 3600-rpm input signal (“synchronous
speed”) would be described as having a slip of 5%, calculated as ((3600-3420)/3600)*100. See IEEE 112-2017
Section 5.4.2.
g
NEMA MG 1-2016 paragraph 1.17.3.4 defines a “synchronous machine,” as an “alternating-current machine in
which the average speed of the normal operation is exactly proportional to the frequency of the system to which it is
connected.”

start permanent magnet (“LSPM”); h permanent magnet AC (“PMAC,” also known as permanent
magnet synchronous motor (“PMSM”) or brushless AC); switched reluctance (“SR”);
synchronous reluctance motors (“SynRMs”); and electronically commutated motor (“ECMs”). i
DOE has tentatively determined that synchronous electric motors are generally capable of
reaching the same or greater efficiency levels as induction motors, and on that basis tentatively
plans to analyze them jointly with induction motors of similar output power, speed range, and
torque/speed characteristic.
DOE seeks comment regarding the tentative determination not to analyze synchronous
electric motors in a separate equipment class from induction motors on the basis that they are
able to reach the same efficiency levels.
DOE seeks comment regarding whether synchronous motors provide utility to consumers
that induction motors do not provide and, if so, which applications could be served only by
synchronous motors.
Inverter-Only Induction Electric Motors
The December 2021 TP NOPR proposed to include certain inverter-only induction
electric motors within the scope of the electric motors test procedure. DOE has tentatively
determined that inverter-only induction electric motors do not have a performance-related feature
that justifies separate class. Inverter-only induction electric motors provide the same function as
inverter-capable induction electric motors, which may use but do not require an inverter to
operate. As such an inverter-only induction electric motor does not provide a unique utility.
DOE seeks comment specifically regarding its tentative determination that inverter-only
induction electric motors do not warrant a separate equipment class. DOE also seeks comment as
to how prevalent inverter-only induction electric motors are and how they are used.
Advanced Energy commented that LSPM motors are synchronous motors. Although these motors use a squirrel
cage, they do not operate on the principle of induction as is attributed to regular induction motors. The cage is
simply for starting the motor and these motors are essentially synchronous motors. (Docket No. EERE-2017-BT-TP0047; Advanced Energy , No. 25 at p. 2) This technology is described further in Chapter 3, Section 3.2.4, Page 3-19
of the technical support document accompanying the May 2014 Final Rule. During the motor transient start up, the
squirrel cage in the rotor contributes to the production of enough torque to start the rotation of the rotor, albeit at an
asynchronous speed. When the speed of the rotor approaches synchronous speed, the constant magnetic field of the
permanent magnet locks to the rotating stator field, thereby pulling the rotor into synchronous operation. (Docket
No. EERE-2010-BT-STD-0027-0108)
i
These 5 topologies are subsets of what this rulemaking refers to as “synchronous” electric motors, and generally
and represent motor technologies that have been more recently gained market acceptance and have variable-speed
capabilities.

Submersible Electric Motors
DOE currently defines a submersible electric motor at 10 CFR 431.12 as an electric
motor that “(1) Is intended to operate continuously only while submerged in liquid; (2) Is
capable of operation while submerged in a liquid for an indefinite period of time; and (3) Has
been sealed to prevent ingress of liquid from contacting the motor’s internal parts.” Submersible
electric motors provide the ability to operate while submerged in a liquid, which nonsubmersible motors are unable to do. Due to greater sealing requirements, submersible electric
motors may experience higher friction and windage losses than non-submersible electric motors,
which may limit the potential efficiency improvements of such motors. DOE tentatively
concludes that the ability to operate in a submerged environment would be a performance-related
feature that justifies a separate class.
DOE seeks comment regarding the use of submerged operating capability as an
equipment class factor for potential energy conservation standards for electric motors.
DOE seeks comment regarding the feasibility of establishing energy conservation
standards for submersible electric motors, in particular, whether standards for submersible
motors generally or any subset thereof are likely to be economically justified.
Induction Electric Motors of >500, ≤750 hp
DOE proposed to define an “electric motors above 500 horsepower” as “an electric motor
having a rated horsepower above 500 and up to 750 hp that meets the criteria listed at 431.25(g),
with the exception of 431.25(g)(8), and are not listed at 431.25(l)(2)-(4).” 86 FR 71710, 71719.
Generally, electric motor efficiency tends to increase with motor output power. As a
result, induction electric motors >500, ≤750 hp may be able to reach the same or greater
efficiencies as induction electric motors currently subject to energy conservation standards at 10
CFR 431.25(g).
DOE seeks comment regarding the feasibility of establishing energy conservation
standards for induction electric motors of >500, ≤750 hp, in particular, whether standards for
induction electric motors of >500, ≤750 hp are likely to be economically justified.
2.3.2
Technology Assessment
As part of the market and technology assessment, DOE developed a list of technologies
to consider in improving electric motor efficiency. DOE typically uses information about
existing and past technology options and prototype designs to determine which technologies
manufacturers use to attain higher full-load efficiency. These technologies encompass all those
DOE initially identified as technologically feasible.
2-22
In the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, DOE presented the technology options that were
considered during the previous rulemaking. A complete list of the options presented are provided
in Table 2.3.3.
Table 2.3.3
Technology Options Presented in the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI
Type of Loss to Reduce
Stator I2R Losses
Rotor I2R Losses
Core Losses
Friction and Windage
Losses
Stray-Load Losses
Technology Option
Increase cross-sectional area of copper in stator slots
Decrease the length of coil extensions
Increase cross-sectional area of end rings
Increase cross-sectional area of rotor conductor bars
Use a die-cast copper rotor cage
Use electrical steel laminations with lower losses (watts/lb)
Use thinner steel laminations
Increase stack length (i.e., add electrical steel laminations)
Optimize bearing and lubrication selection.
Improve cooling system design
Reduce skew on rotor cage.
Improve rotor bar insulation.
Each technology option falls into one of five basic loss categories, which must be
collectively optimized relative to each other during the design process. Most of the design
changes identified in Table 2.3.3 produce interacting effects on the motor’s breakdown torque,
locked-rotor torque, locked-rotor current, and other operating parameters. Motor designers
making a specific design change evaluate the effects of that change against all of a motor’s
performance characteristics, including efficiency.
DOE sought comment in the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI as to whether there have
been sufficient technological or market changes since the May 2014 Standards Final Rule that
justify more stringent standards. 85 FR 30878, 30882.
NEMA commented that there are no changes to how and whether technology options
might be incorporated into equipment performance. (NEMA, No. 4 at p. 6)
NEEA, the CA IOUs, and the Efficiency Advocates all commented in support of
reviewing the current electric motor market and technologies to improve efficiency. NEEA
recommended that DOE consider additional technology options for electric motors. (NEEA, No.
8 at p. 3) The CA IOUs recommended that modern motor architectures should be analyzed with
conventional induction motors because they are competing for the same applications. (CA IOUs,
2-23
No. 7 at p. 10) The Efficiency Advocates stated the market, including regulated electric motors,
has changed significantly since publication of the May 2014 Final Rule. They go on to state that
new DOE standards effective in 2016 nearly doubled the U.S. sales volume of motors meeting or
exceeding TSL 2 of the May 2014 Final Rule. (Efficiency Advocates, No. 9 at p. 2)
Due to the changes in the electric motor market and the interchangeability of some
advanced motor technologies with induction motors, DOE is considering these technology
options and advanced motor technologies in this preliminary analysis.
2.3.2.1
Electrical Steel
DOE conducted a review of the electrical steel market and found multiple steels with
lower measured core loss that were not considered in the previous rulemaking. For example, AK
Steel, an American electrical steel manufacturer, advertises an M-10X grade steel with a
maximum core loss of 2.2 W/kg (at 1.5T, 50 Hz) compared to M47 which ranges from 5.4 to 7
W/kg at the same operating conditions. DOE also identified a Japanese manufacturer offering
35H210 with a maximum core loss of 2.1 W/kg at 1.5T, 50 Hz. DOE used these low loss steels
as design options for the higher efficiency levels that were analyzed.
DOE seeks comment and data on the availability of these higher efficiency electrical
steels. DOE seeks comment on its decision to use these steels in its analysis.
2.3.2.2
Variable-Speed Operation
NEEA recommended factoring additional technology options that can be applied to those
electric motors that DOE may consider under an expanded scope, with the most important of
these options being variable-speed drives and controls. NEEA suggested that the ability of a
motor to operate at variable speeds is the greatest opportunity for energy savings in motor driven
systems. NEEA stated that a variable-speed drive or variable-speed controls can significantly
decrease energy consumption, as well as offer many non-energy benefits. NEEA stated most
systems in the residential and commercial sectors could benefit from a variable frequency drive,
and that motor speed and control can result in savings from 30-80%. (NEEA, No. 8 at p. 3)
The December 2021 TP NOPR proposed to evaluate electric motor efficiency only at
full-load, which does not reflect the potential energy savings of VSDs, as associated energy
savings materialized only during operating cycles, which include part-load output. 86 FR 71710,
71744-71745. DOE has introduced three variable-speed synchronous designs in this preliminary
engineering analysis and may consider analyzing energy use over a variety of operating cycles
including part-load operation as part of a future proposal to amend its current regulations
regarding energy conservation standards for electric motors.
2-24
DOE requests comment and data on the additional costs of variable-speed drives
(“VSDs”), and other limitations of using a VSD.
2.4
SCREENING ANALYSIS
The screening analysis (chapter 4 of the TSD) examines various technologies as to:
(i) Technological feasibility. Technologies incorporated in commercial equipment or in
working prototypes will be considered technologically feasible.
(ii) Practicability to manufacture, install and service. If mass production of a technology
under consideration for use in commercially available products (or equipment) and reliable
installation and servicing of the technology could be achieved on the scale necessary to serve the
relevant market at the time of the effective date of the standard, then that technology will be
considered practicable to manufacture, install and service.
(iii) Adverse Impacts on Product Utility or Product Availability.
(iv) Adverse Impacts on Health or Safety.
(v) Unique-Pathway Proprietary Technologies. If a design option utilizes proprietary
technology that represents a unique pathway to achieving a given efficiency level, that
technology will not be considered further.
10 CFR 431.4; 10 CFR part 430 subpart C appendix A section 6(b)(3)(i)-(v).
As described in section 2.3.2, DOE develops an initial list of efficiency-enhancement
options from the technologies identified as technologically feasible in the technology assessment.
DOE then reviews the list to determine if these options are practicable to manufacture, install,
and service, would adversely affect equipment utility or availability, or would have adverse
impacts on health and safety. In addition, DOE removed from the list of technology options that
lack energy consumption data as well as technology options whose energy consumption could
not be adequately measured by DOE’s test procedures. In the engineering analysis, DOE further
considers efficiency enhancement options that it did not screen out in the screening analysis.
2.4.1
Technology Options Screened Out
In the market and technology assessment (chapter 3 of the TSD), DOE developed an
initial list of technologies expected to have the potential to improve the energy efficiency of
electric motors. In the screening analysis, DOE screened out technologies based on the criteria
discussed above. The list of remaining technologies becomes one of the key inputs to the
2-25
engineering analysis (discussed subsequently). For reasons explained below, DOE screened out a
number of technologies, listed in Table 2.4.1.

In the May 2020 RFI, DOE requested comment on the screening criteria it applied and
how the criteria relate to the various options included in the technology assessment section
above. 85 FR 30878, 30883-30884. DOE further requested comment on if any of the technology
options listed in Table 2.5 would continue to be screened out.
In response to the May 2020 RFI, CDA recommended that DOE should continue to
include copper rotor motors in its analysis. CDA included content for the purpose of
demonstrating the commercial availability of die-cast copper rotor motors. (CDA, No. 3 at p. 2)
NEMA commented that there are no new technology options for the currently covered
products and that the options listed in Table 2.5 are still appropriate. (NEMA, No. 4 at p. 2)
NEMA commented that the assessments and conclusions of the previous rulemaking regarding
the screening criteria impacts to technology options remain relevant and accurate. NEMA goes
on to note that the previously screened-out design options noted in Table 2.5 remain screened out
for the same reasons given during the 2014 Final Rule process; they have not become more
feasible since the previous rulemaking. (NEMA, No. 4 at p. 4)
The CA IOUs commented that changes to the motor market (specifically, the availability
of motors rated with a higher full-load efficiency than the previous max-tech level) warrant
updates to the max-tech level, and that DOE should consider amorphous steel technology. They
further commented that in 2019 Hitachi constructed a prototype electric motor using amorphous
metals. In noting this prototype, the CA IOUs referenced Hitachi’s claims regarding the
prototype motor it constructed that the company claimed resulted in “a four to five-fold reduction
in core loss than [that] experienced in a comparable motor with standard magnetic steel sheet
teeth” and noted that this approach has been applied this to a new design that Hitachi claims can
2-26
be economically mass-produced. The CA IOUs noted that an evaluation of the prototype
confirmed a motor efficiency of 97.2 percent, which the CA IOUs stated is high enough to meet
the IE5 classification, the highest level in the guidelines for motor energy efficiency of the IEC.
The CA IOUs stated that the prototype is an 11 kilowatt (kW) radial gap motor which is the most
common motor type distributed in the market, and this similarity with current motor design
allows the use of a stator coil structure which can be mass-produced using existing
manufacturing technology. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at p. 3)
DOE could not find evidence of amorphous steel being used at scale in a currently
regulated electric motor. DOE also could not find data concerning the cost associated with
amorphous steel. DOE did not receive sufficient data indicating that any of these technologies
could be used in currently regulated electric motors at scale and therefore has maintained them as
screened out in this preliminary analysis.
DOE requests further data concerning the feasibility of amorphous steel being used at
scale. DOE also requests comment regarding the costs of volume production using amorphous
steels, as well as data concerning the core loss of amorphous steel at typical electric motor
operating parameters.
2.4.2
Technology Options Considered Further in DOE’s Analysis
After screening out PBIP and amorphous steels, the remaining viable “design options”
were all the options listed in Table 2.3.3. The market and technology assessment (chapter 3 of
the TSD) provides a detailed description of these design options. These design options will be
considered by DOE in the engineering analysis and are listed in chapter 5 of the TSD.
For more details on how DOE developed the technology options and the process for
screening these options and the design options that DOE is considering, see the market and
technology assessment (chapter 3 of the TSD) and the screening analysis (chapter 4 of the TSD).
2.5
ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
The purpose of the engineering analysis (chapter 5 of the TSD) is to establish the
relationship between the efficiency and cost of electric motors. There are two elements to
consider in the engineering analysis; the selection of efficiency levels to analyze (i.e., the
“efficiency analysis”) and the determination of equipment cost at each efficiency level (i.e., the
“cost analysis”). In determining the performance of higher-efficiency equipment, DOE considers
technologies and design option combinations not eliminated by the screening analysis. For the
analyzed equipment class, DOE estimates the manufacturer production cost (“MPC”) for the
baseline as well as higher efficiency levels. The output of the engineering analysis is a set of
cost-efficiency “curves” that are used in downstream analyses.
2-27
DOE converts the MPC to the manufacturer selling price (“MSP”) by applying a
manufacturer markup. The MSP is the price the manufacturer charges its first customer, when
selling into the equipment distribution channels. The manufacturer markup accounts for
manufacturer non-production costs and profit margin. DOE developed the manufacturer markup
by examining publicly available financial information for manufacturers of the covered
equipment.
Chapter 5 discusses the equipment classes DOE analyzed, the representative baseline
units, the incremental efficiency levels, the methodology DOE used to develop the
manufacturing production costs, the cost-efficiency relationship, and the impact of efficiency
improvements on the considered equipment.
2.5.1
Two Distinct Engineering Analysis Approaches
To determine the MSP of a given representative unit DOE utilized two different
approaches. For representative units subject to energy conservation standards under 10 CFR
431.25(g), DOE performed motor efficiency tests and motor teardowns that informed a motor
performance model. For representative units not currently regulated at 10 CFR 431.25, DOE
used a retail-based analysis, which combined catalog data across six manufacturers and
aggregated the results to estimate the average MPC for a given representative unit efficiency and
horsepower. DOE utilized a retail-based analysis for the expanded scope since it was the most
accessible source of information. In preparing the NOPR, however, DOE will also consider
adding a test and teardown approach to determine the MSP of these new representative units.
2.5.2
Representative Units Analyzed
2.5.2.1
Scope: 10 CFR 431.25
Electric motors currently regulated at 10 CFR 431.25 are divided into different
equipment classes categorized by physical characteristics that affect equipment efficiency. Key
physical characteristics are: (1) horsepower output, (2) pole configuration, (3) enclosure, and (4)
motor design type (e.g., NEMA Design A or B).
Because it is impractical to conduct detailed engineering analysis at every hp rating, DOE
conducts detailed modeling on 5 “representative units” (“RUs”). These RUs are selected both to
represent the more common designs found in the market and to include a variety of design
specifications to enable generalization of the results. The representative units do not map to
equipment classes 1:1. RUs used in the May 2014 Standards Final Rule are unchanged. 79 FR
30934, 30966-30969. These representative units are listed in Table 2.5.1.

In response to the May 2020 RFI, NEMA commented that it is appropriate for ECG 1 and
ECG 3 to use the same representative units for the engineering analysis. NEMA also commented
that using representative units to span a subset of motors remains a good approach. (NEMA, No.
4 at p. 7) NEMA commented that the previous practice is appropriate to use again and agreed
with the DOE conclusion in the prior rulemaking that it is not feasible to evaluate 482 separate
product classes, and that treating them like basic models and using a small subset as
representatives of a product class of related designs remains a good approach. (NEMA, No. 4 at
p. 7)
DOE finds that the representative units selected for the 2014 Final Rule remain
appropriate and retains them for this preliminary analysis. The representative units are as
presented in Table 2.6. DOE may consider additional representative units in a future rulemaking
stage if warranted.
DOE seeks comment on the representative units selected for this preliminary analysis. If
DOE expands the scope of potential energy conservation standards to include any varieties of the
electric motors described in Section 2.2.3.1 regarding what, if any, representative units may be
most important to add.
2.5.2.2
Scope: Expanded
For electric motors that meet the criteria listed at 10 CFR 431.25(g) but are excluded on
the basis of being an air-over motor according to 10 CFR 431.25(l)(1), DOE used three RUs to
represent these proposed equipment classes. These RUs were similar to the three RUs of ECG 1
2-29
in all characteristics except enclosure, which were all air-over instead of totally enclosed, fan
cooled (“TEFC”) in construction.

For electric motors that do not meet the criteria listed at 10 CFR 431.25(g) but are
included in the proposed expanded scope, DOE chose 24 RUs to represent these equipment
classes. The proposed equipment classes are categorized by physical characteristics that affect
equipment efficiency. Key physical characteristics for these motors are: (1) horsepower output,
(2) pole configuration, (3) enclosure, (4) phases of input power, and (5), locked-rotor torque.
For SNEMs, DOE split these motors into equipment class groups based on locked rotor
torque (“LRT”) since these motors do not use the same NEMA Design A, B, or C designations
that other motors in the scope of this rule do, and certain applications require a certain locked
rotor torque to operate. SNEMs were split into three equipment class groups: high-locked-rotor
torque, medium-locked-rotor torque, and low-locked-rotor torque. Each equipment class group
was filled by specific motor topologies because of the different torque-speed curves associated
with each topology. Within each equipment class group, SNEMs were further split based on
whether external cooling was needed for continuous operation or not. SNEMs that do not need
external cooling are referred to here as SNEMs and those that do need external cooling are
referred to as ‘Air-over’ (“AO”). The grouping of topologies is shown in Table 2.5.3. The RUs
selected for each equipment class group is shown in Table 2.5.4 and Table 2.5.5.

Efficiency Analysis
DOE typically uses one of two approaches to develop energy efficiency levels for the
engineering analysis: (1) relying on observed efficiency levels in the market (i.e., the efficiencylevel approach), or (2) determining the incremental efficiency improvements associated with
incorporating specific design options to a baseline model (i.e., the design-option approach).
Using the efficiency-level approach, the efficiency levels established for the analysis are
2-31
determined based on the market distribution of existing products (in other words, based on the
range of efficiencies and efficiency level “clusters” that already exist on the market). Using the
design option approach, the efficiency levels established for the analysis are determined through
detailed engineering calculations and/or computer simulations of the efficiency improvements
from implementing specific design options that have been identified in the technology
assessment. DOE may also rely on a combination of these two approaches. For example, the
efficiency-level approach (based on actual products on the market) may be extended using the
design option approach to interpolate to define “gap fill” levels (to bridge large gaps between
other identified efficiency levels) and/or to extrapolate to the max-tech level (particularly in
cases where the max-tech level exceeds the maximum efficiency level currently available on the
market).
2.5.3.1
Baseline and Higher Efficiency Levels
To perform the engineering analysis, DOE generally selects a baseline model as a
reference point for each equipment class, and measures changes resulting from potential energy
conservation standards against the baseline. The baseline model in each equipment class
represents the characteristics of an equipment typical of that class (e.g., capacity). Generally, a
baseline model is one that just meets current energy conservation standards, or, if no standards
are in place, the baseline is typically the most common or least efficient unit on the market.
Table 2.5.6 lists baseline efficiency values for each representative unit.

With the baseline established, DOE selects functionally similar units at higher efficiency
levels within the equipment class. These higher-efficiency units are selected to, as much as
possible, maintain the important attributes of the baseline unit and vary mostly in cost and
efficiency. By subtracting the cost of a higher-efficiency unit from the cost of a baseline unit,
DOE estimates the incremental purchase cost to an electric motor buyer. Table 2.5.7 lists all ELs
by representative unit. As a note, efficiency level 0 (“EL0”) is synonymous with “baseline” for
all representative units in this preliminary analysis.

To establish ELs higher than the baseline, DOE used different approaches based on ECG.
For ECGs 1 and 2, DOE started at the baseline and each EL above baseline incremented one
2-33
NEMA band j higher in efficiency than the previous EL. Each NEMA band represents a 10%
reduction in losses from the level below it. In instances where the max-tech level was less than
four NEMA bands above baseline, the next highest efficiency is repeated to allow for analysis of
all ELs across ECs. For ECG 3, DOE started at the baseline and made EL1 equivalent in
efficiency to EL0 of ECG 1, ELs 2 and 3 were each one NEMA band higher than the previous
ELs, and EL 4 is equivalent in efficiency to EL4 of ECG 1.
In response to the May 2020 RFI, the Efficiency Advocates commented that the range of
efficiency performance available above the minimally compliant products has increased.
(Efficiency Advocates, No. 9 at p. 2) They noted that previous TSL 4 motors are more
commercially available from certain manufacturers, and that manufacturers market these
products as a potential low total cost option, and that these motors are marketed as drop-in
replacements for induction or lower efficiency motors. (Efficiency Advocates, No. 9 at p. 3) The
Efficiency Advocates added that improved motor standards could provide large savings and
identified what they asserted were max-tech levels that would reduce motor losses by 15%,
which would be equivalent to IE4 or NEMA super-premium levels. (Efficiency Advocates, No. 9
at p. 2)
The CA IOUs commented that changes to the motor market warrant updates to the maxtech level. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at p. 1) They recommended that DOE reevaluate the costeffectiveness of TSL 3 of the May 2014 Final Rule due to shifts in the electric motor market
since then. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at p. 3) The CA IOUs also commented that IE3 motors (equivalent
efficiency to NEMA Premium) have become the predominant motor type in the U.S. Market,
which could suggest additional room for standards evaluation. They stated that IE4 motors
account for approximately 1.5 to 2 percent of the U.S. motor market. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at p. 3)
The CA IOUs recommended that DOE review the IEC 60034-30-2 standard, which
defines efficiency classes for variable-speed AC motors not covered in IEC 60034-30-1,
including PMSMs and synchronous reluctance motors that are controlled by a frequency
converter. The IEC 60034-30-2 standard includes a higher EL, IE5, that is not currently
addressed in U.S. motor regulations. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at p. 11) The CA IOUs also presented a
table of expanded scope motors, IE level and motor technology. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at Appendix
B)
CDA recommended that DOE investigate the development of a new efficiency category
above the current NEMA Premium level, noting that several manufacturers currently offer
motors significantly above NEMA Premium in nameplate efficiency. (CDA, No. 3 at p. 2)
NEMA commented that the analytical options investigated in the previous rulemaking
remain accurate, but the maximum available efficiency levels shown in Table II.4 of the 2014
j
NEMA MG 1 2016, Table 12-10
2-34
Final Rule are not economically justified for the reasons given by DOE. (NEMA, No. 4 at p. 5)
NEMA also commented that the current established energy conservation standards are
appropriate baseline efficiency levels for this review and that no new baseline efficiency levels
are needed. (NEMA, No. 4 at p. 4)
The CA IOUs commented that a unique 15 HP PMAC motor has been demonstrated by a
third-party lab to achieve 96.9 percent efficiency in operation without a VSD, and 95 percent
efficiency with a VSD. The CA IOUs stated that this efficiency result was estimated to be IE7
equivalent, if following the convention that each IE classification reduces losses from the
previous classification by 20 percent. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at p. 7)
DOE notes that all TSLs of the current rule will be evaluated for cost-effectiveness, and
that there are levels analyzed in this rule that are above the NEMA Premium efficiency levels.
DOE is using motor performance modeling for each representative unit to determine the
maximum efficiency level that is technologically feasible while remaining within NEMA Design
B performance constraints as defined in NEMA MG-1 2016 Sections 12.35.1, 12.38, 12.39, and
12.40. DOE intends to evaluate new synchronous motor technologies like the PMAC motor
referenced by the CA IOUs if the scope of DOE’s standards is expanded to include them.
Scope: Expanded
With no energy conservation standards in place, DOE selected a baseline for SNEM
equipment classes based on a modified version of the current small electric motors (“SEM”)
energy conservation standards located at 10 CFR 431.446. DOE created a function of motor
losses vs. HP of the current SEM standards and then increased the losses based on the listed
efficiency of motors in each equipment class group. For single-phase high LRT, the baseline was
an 81% in losses compared to the SEM standard. For medium LRT the baseline was a 25%
increase in losses and for low LRT the baseline was a 96% increase in losses, except at .25
horsepower where shaded-pole motors were readily available, which had a baseline that was a
157% increase in losses compared to the SEM standard. For polyphase SNEMs the baseline was
a 38% increase in losses compared to the SEM standard. Table 2.5.8 contains the baseline
efficiency for each SNEM representative unit.

For efficiency levels higher than baseline, DOE used different methods based on
equipment class group. For single-phase high LRT, EL1 represents a 12.5% reduction in loss
from the baseline efficiency and EL2 approximated the current SEM standards. For medium
LRT, EL1 was a 15% decrease in loss from baseline and EL2 was a 22.5% decrease in loss from
baseline. For low LRT, EL1 was a repeat of EL0 for every equipment class except .25 HP where
shaded-pole motors are prevalent. This repeat in EL was chosen to simplify the structure of the
eventual LCC and NIA analyses. EL2 was a 38% reduction in losses from the previous EL, and
EL3 approximated the SEM standard. For polyphase SNEMs, EL1 was a 12.5% decrease in loss
from baseline, EL2 an 18.5% decrease in loss from baseline, EL3 an approximation of current
SEM standards, and EL4 was a 20% decrease in losses from the SEM standard.

To analyze air-over motors, DOE used a modified version of each representative unit for
both SNEMs and equipment classes with standards at 10 CFR 431.25. First, DOE performed
motor efficiency testing on five SNEMs according to the test procedure proposed in the
December 2021 TP NOPR. Then, the internal fans were removed and the motor was tested
according to the air-over test procedure proposed in the December 2021 TP NOPR. DOE then
analyzed the measured efficiency difference in the two tests and plotted a function of fan loss as
2-36
a percentage of total losses vs. rated horsepower. Using this function, DOE created a theoretical
air-over version of each of the representative units. For SNEMs, this resulted in higher measured
efficiencies for each representative unit. DOE notes that this increase in efficiency between an
air-over and a non-air-over motor may not always result in energy savings to the end-user
because in many cases a fan is still being driven by the motor even if the energy required to drive
it is not measured by the test procedure. For the air-over versions of motors currently in the
scope of 10 CFR 431.25, the nominal efficiency of each unit is the same as the non-air-over
versions because the fan losses were never more than 10% of the total losses that a NEMA band
represents. Table 2.5.10 shows the efficiency of each air-over SNEM representative unit. Table
2.5.11 shows the efficiency of each air-over version of motors currently regulated at 10 CFR
431.25.

Cost Analysis
2-37
The cost analysis portion of the Engineering Analysis is conducted using one or a
combination of cost approaches. The selection of cost approach depends on a suite of factors,
including the availability and reliability of public information, characteristics of the regulated
product, availability, and timeliness of purchasing the equipment on the market. The cost
approaches are summarized as follows:
Physical teardowns: Under this approach, DOE physically dismantles a commercially
available product, component-by-component, to develop a detailed bill of materials for the
product.
Catalog teardowns: In lieu of physically deconstructing a product, DOE identifies each
component using parts diagrams (available from manufacturer websites or appliance repair
websites, for example) to develop the bill of materials for the product.
Price surveys: If neither a physical nor catalog teardown is feasible (for example, for
tightly integrated products such as fluorescent lamps, which are infeasible to disassemble and for
which parts diagrams are unavailable) or cost-prohibitive and otherwise impractical (e.g., large
commercial boilers), DOE conducts price surveys using publicly available pricing data published
on major online retailer websites and/or by soliciting prices from distributors and other
commercial channels.
2.5.4.1
General Methodology
To derive the production and material costs of each EL, DOE used a combination of
teardowns, software modeling, and retail price data. DOE performed a motor efficiency test and
extensive teardown on one model for each representative unit in ECG 1 and the results of this
performance test and teardown were used to inform the software modelled designs. Coupling
these two approaches allowed DOE to analyze ELs that were theoretically possible but not
available on the market.
Teardowns
Due to limited manufacturer feedback concerning cost data and production costs, DOE
derived its production and material costs by having a professional motor laboratory disassemble
and inventory the physical electric motors purchased. DOE performed teardowns on three
electric motors that were advertised as having higher efficiency than EL0 for equipment class
group 1. These teardowns provided DOE the necessary data to construct a bill of materials
(“BOM”), which DOE could normalize using a standard cost model and markup to produce a
projected manufacturer selling price (MSP). DOE used the MSP derived from the engineering
tear-down paired with the corresponding nameplate nominal efficiency to report the relative
costs of achieving improvements in energy efficiency. DOE derived material prices from a
consensus of current, publicly available data, manufacturer feedback, and conversations with its
subject matter experts (“SMEs”). DOE supplemented the findings from its tests and teardowns
2-38
through: (1) a review of data collected from manufacturers about prices, efficiencies, and other
features of various models of electric motors, and (2) interviews with manufacturers about the
techniques and associated costs used to improve efficiency.
DOE’s engineering analysis documents the design changes and associated costs when
improving electric motor efficiency from the baseline level up to a max-tech level. This includes
considering improved electrical steel for the stator and rotor, using die-cast copper rotors,
increasing stack length, and any other applicable design options remaining after the screening
analysis. As each of these design options are added, the manufacturer’s cost generally increases
and the electric motor’s efficiency improves.
Software Modeling
DOE worked with technical experts to develop the highest efficiency levels (i.e., the
max-tech levels) technologically feasible for each representative unit analyzed. DOE used a
combination of electric motor software design programs and SME input. DOE retained an
electric motor expert with design experience and software, who prepared a set of designs with
increasing efficiency. The SME also checked his designs against tear-down data and calibrated
his software using the relevant test results. As new designs were created, careful attention was
paid to the required performance characteristics of NEMA Design B as defined in NEMA MG 12016 Tables 12-2, 12-3, 12-4, and paragraph 12.35.1, which collectively define locked-rotor
torque, breakdown torque, pull-up torque and maximum locked-rotor currents, respectively. This
was done to ensure that the utility of the baseline unit was conserved as efficiency was improved
through the application of various design options. Additionally, DOE limited its modeled stack
length increases based on tear-down data and the maximum “C” dimensions found in
manufacturer’s catalogs.
DOE limited the amount by which it would increase the stack length of its softwaremodeled electric motors to preserve the utility of the baseline model torn down. The maximum
stack lengths used in the software-modeled ELs were determined by first analyzing the stack
lengths and “C” dimensions of torn-down electric motors. Then, DOE analyzed the “C”
dimensions of various electric motors in the marketplace conforming to the same design
constraints as the representative units (same NEMA design letter, horsepower rating, NEMA
frame series, enclosure type, and pole configuration). For each representative unit, DOE found
the largest “C” dimension currently available on the marketplace and estimated a maximum
stack length based on the stack length to “C” dimension ratios of motors it tore down. The
resulting product was the value that DOE chose to use as the maximum stack length in its
software-modeled designs. Table 2.5.12 shows the estimated maximum stack length that was
used as an upper bound in the software-modeled ELs. Table 2.5.13 shows the stack length and
efficiency of each modeled design.

DOE modeled a synchronous motor (specifically a permanent magnet design) as a
replacement for a 5 HP motor and included in the total cost the cost of the drive needed to run
the motor. DOE observed that in the vast majority of applications a drive would be needed to
operate a synchronous motor.
Retail Price Analysis
For SNEMs, DOE harvested price data from six motor manufacturers and used it to
derive the MSP of each RU. First, DOE began by finding the average correlation of
manufacturer suggested retail price (“MSRP”) and retail price of a given motor. Once that was
found for each of the six manufacturers in the data set, DOE then filtered the catalog data to
match each representative unit in horsepower, LRT, pole, and enclosure. Further characteristics
including duty cycle, purpose (i.e., general vs. dedicated), and input voltage were used to further
narrow the selection criteria. Once this similar group of motors was developed, it was further
filtered by efficiency and the MSP of each EL was found by taking the average MSP of motors
within that EL.
2-41
DOE notes that these retail data were recorded in 2016 and will likely not be the basis of
the analysis presented in any NOPR develops. DOE further notes that the 2016 prices that were
collected were adjusted for inflation and were analyzed in 2020 dollars for this preliminary
analysis.
2.5.4.2
Constructing a Bill of Materials
The BOM calculated for each design contained four types of material costs: conductors,
electrical steel, insulation, and hardware. In the May 2014 Final Rule, DOE used a fixed cost
depending on horsepower for components like insulation and frame hardware. In this preliminary
analysis, DOE broke down these components so that every component in the BOM could vary
depending on EL.
Each item in the BOM is organized by the type of cost (i.e., variable, insulation, and
hardware) and the component of the electric motor to which they apply. The variable costs
portion of the BOM includes the following subheadings, each with an itemized parts list: stator
assembly, rotor assembly, and other major costs.
The subheadings that have an itemized list of components include the stator assembly,
rotor assembly, and other major costs. The stator assembly’s itemized lists include prices for
steel laminations and copper wire. The rotor assembly portion of the BOM includes prices for
laminations, rotor conductor material, (either aluminum or copper) and shaft extension material.
The other major costs heading contains items for the frame material and base, terminal housing
components, bearing-type, and end-shield material.
2.5.4.3
Conductor Prices
Aluminum and copper are the materials used as conductors. The prices of aluminum and
copper conductor are strongly correlated to the price of the underlying commodities, which are
tracked in various public indices.
In this preliminary analysis, DOE used a combination of cost extrapolation from the
public indices and calibrated the data based on information received in manufacturer interviews.
Further, DOE assumed that the 10 percent aluminum tariff would be partially offset by, e.g.,
changes in sourcing, suppliers’ absorbing some cost, and reduced demand for aluminum
throughout the market. Therefore, in the base-case price scenario, DOE assumed a price increase
of 7.5 percent as a result of aluminum tariffs. DOE also included price sensitivity scenarios in
TSD chapter 5, which include modeling of a market without tariffs on aluminum.

Electrical Steel Prices
The other major material cost in electric motors are the electrical steels used in the stator
and rotor laminations. In general, the electrical steels with lower core loss per unit weight cost
more than their higher loss counterparts. DOE used a mixture of publicly available price data and
feedback from manufacturer interviews to estimate the cost of each electrical steel. For some
newer steels such as 35H210, where price data were unavailable, the price was estimated by
extrapolating the relationship of core loss vs. price based on the general electrical steel market.

DOE also included costs for various additional components like bearings, frame
hardware, and insulation components. Some of these costs differed slightly for each
representative unit and are listed in chapter 5 of the TSD.
DOE requests feedback and data on the cost of the other materials used in electric motor
manufacturing listed in Table 2.21.
2.5.4.6
Labor Costs
Due to the varying degree of automation used in manufacturing electric motors, labor
costs differ for each representative unit. DOE analyzed teardown results to determine which
electric motors were machine-wound and which electric motors were hand-wound. From this
analysis, DOE applied a higher labor hour amount for the hand-wound electric motors. For the
max-tech software-modeled electric motors, DOE always assumed hand-winding was used and
that a higher labor hour amount applied. Labor hours for each of the representative units were
based on SME input and manufacturer interviews.
DOE used the same hourly labor rate for all electric motors analyzed. The base hourly
rate was developed from the 2007 Economic Census of Industry, published by the U.S. Census
Bureau, as well as manufacturer and SME input. k The base hourly rate is an aggregate rate of a
foreign labor rate and a domestic labor rate. DOE weighed the foreign labor rate more than the
domestic labor rate due to manufacturer feedback indicating off-shore production accounts for a
majority of electric motor production by American-based companies. Several markups were
The Economic Census of Industry data are used to inform how markup percentages are applied but do not
comprise the primary source of labor rate data for electric motor manufacturing. Instead, these data were obtained
primarily through interviews with manufacturers of electric motors. DOE is, however, considering using the 2017
Economic Census of Industry for potential future rulemaking stages.

costs associated with manufacturing electric motors. Table 2.5.17 shows the markups that were

DOE requests comment on the labor rate applied and associated markups listed in Table
2.5.4.7
Markup
DOE used the three markups described below to account for non-production costs that
are part of each electric motor leaving a manufacturer’s facility. Handling and scrap factor,
overhead, and non-production markups will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer because
their profit margins, overheads, prices paid for goods, and business structures vary. DOE
prepared estimates for these three non-production cost manufacturer markups from Securities
and Exchange Commission Form 10K annual reports, and conversations with manufacturers and
experts.
Factory Overhead
Factory overhead: 15 percent markup. Factory overhead includes all the indirect costs
associated with production, indirect materials and energy use, taxes, and insurance. DOE applies
factory overhead to the sum of direct material production costs (including the handling and scrap
factor) and the direct labor costs. The overhead increases to 20 percent when copper die-casting
is used in the rotor. This accounts for additional energy, insurance, and other indirect costs
associated with the copper die-casting process.
DOE requests comment on the magnitude and application of the factory overhead
markup.
2-46
Scrap Factor
Handling and scrap factor: 2.5 percent markup. This markup was applied to the direct
material production costs of each electric motor. It accounts for the handling of material (loading
into assembly or winding equipment) and the scrap material that cannot be used in the
production of a finished electric motor (e.g., lengths of wire too short to wind).
DOE requests comment on the appropriateness and magnitude of the markups applied as
material scrap in this preliminary analysis.
Conversion Costs
DOE understands that even without new conservation standards, manufacturers will be
expending resources on research and development, capital equipment replacement, and testing
and certification for new products in the normal course of their day-to-day business operations.
However, DOE also realizes that some of the conservation standards under consideration may
require significant levels of investment, in time and dollars, by manufacturers above and beyond
their typical operational levels. To account for the additional investments that manufacturers will
have to make to reach certain ELs, DOE included a conversion cost adder in the cost model.
The conversion cost adder was only applied to designs that use thinner steels than what is
currently used in most motors for the stator and rotor laminations and thus would require
retooling the die-stamping portion of the manufacturing line. l For designs that use a .018”
thickness electrical steel, a product conversion markup of 4.1 percent was used. For designs that
use a .014” (approximately .35 mm), a product conversion markup of 6.5 percent was used. The
magnitudes of these markups are consistent with what was used in the May 2014 Final Rule. 79
FR 30934, 30975
DOE requests comment on the appropriateness and magnitude of the markups used to
account for product conversion costs in this preliminary analysis.
Nonproduction
To account for manufacturers’ nonproduction costs and profit margin, DOE applies a
nonproduction cost multiplier (the manufacturer markup) to the MPC. The resulting
manufacturer selling price (“MSP”) is the price at which the manufacturer distributes a unit into
commerce.
l
Examples of these thinner steels are 29M19 and 35H210.
2-47
DOE did not receive any comments recommending a different manufacturer markup
from what was used in the May 2014 Final Rule. In this preliminary analysis, DOE maintained a
manufacturer markup of 37 – 45 percent. This markup reflects costs including sales and general
administrative, research and development, interest payments, and profit factor. DOE applies the
non-production markup to the sum of the direct material production, the direct labor, the factory
overhead, and the product conversion costs. For the analyzed electric motors at or below 5horsepower, this markup was 37 percent; for electric motors above 5-horsepower, this markup
was 45 percent.

Engineering Analysis Results
2.5.5.1
Scope: 10 CFR 431.25
The results of the engineering analysis are reported as cost-efficiency data (or “curves”)
in the form of energy efficiency (in percentage) versus MSP (in dollars), which form the basis
for subsequent analyses in the preliminary analysis. DOE developed fourteen curves representing
the fourteen representative units. DOE implemented design options by analyzing a variety of
core steel material, winding material, and core construction methods for each representative unit
and applying manufacturer selling prices to the output of the model for each design option
combination. See TSD chapter 5 for additional detail on the engineering analysis. Table 2.23

2.6
MARKUPS ANALYSIS
The markups analysis develops appropriate markups (e.g., retailer markups, distributor
markups, contractor markups) in the distribution chain and collects information regarding sales
2-50
taxes to convert the MSP derived in the engineering analysis to consumer prices, which are then
used in the LCC and PBP analysis. At each step in the distribution channel, companies mark up
the price of equipment to cover business costs and profit margin.
In the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, DOE requested comment on the seven
distribution channels identified during the previous rulemaking and the estimated fraction of
electric motor sales that go through each channel. 85 FR 30878, 30886. NEMA commented that
since the last rulemaking, there had been an increase in the share of motors sold directly to endusers and NEMA provided updated market shares of shipments through each distribution
channel. (NEMA, No. 4 at p. 7) For the preliminary analysis, DOE reviewed additional
information regarding distribution channels provided by the 2019 Low-Voltage Motors, World
Market Report from IHS Markit 1 and updated the proportion of shipments going through each of
these channels based on NEMA's input. For AO-MEMs, DOE relied on the same distribution
channels as for electric motors subject to energy conservation standards at 10 CFR 431.25. For
SNEMs and AO-SNEMs, DOE relied on the distribution channels used in the Final
Determination for small electric motors. 86 FR 4885, 4898-4899 (January 19, 2021) ("January
2021 Final Determination ")
Table 2.6.1 and Table 2.6.2 provide a summary of the distribution channels and market
shares considered for electric motors analyzed in this preliminary analysis.

DOE developed baseline and incremental markups for each agent in the distribution
chain. Baseline markups are applied to the price of equipment with baseline efficiency, while
incremental markups are applied to the difference in price between baseline and higherefficiency models (the incremental cost increase). The incremental markup is typically less than
the baseline markup and is designed to maintain similar per-unit operating profit before and after
new or amended standards. m
DOE relied on 2020 RS Means Electrical Cost Data and on economic data from the U.S.
Census Bureau to estimate average baseline and incremental markups.
The markups methodology is described in chapter 6 of this TSD.
DOE did not receive any additional comments regarding the distribution channels.
For electric motors that DOE may consider in a potential expanded scope in the NOPR,
(i.e., electric motors above 500 horsepower; electric motors that are synchronous motors;
submersible electric motors, and inverter-only electric motors), DOE is considering applying the
distribution channels and respective share of sales volume as presented in Table 2.6.1. Should
sufficient information become available, DOE may consider different distribution channels and
share of sales volume.
DOE requests data and information to characterize the distribution channels for each
category of electric motors analyzed, as well as for the additional categories of electric motors
that DOE may consider including in the NOPR (i.e., electric motors above 500 horsepower;
Because the projected price of products at efficiency levels above the baseline is typically higher than the price of
baseline products, using the same markup for the incremental cost and the baseline cost would result in higher perunit operating profit. While such an outcome is possible, DOE maintains that in markets that are reasonably
competitive it is unlikely that standards would lead to a sustainable increase in profitability in the long run.

electric motors that are synchronous motors; submersible electric motors, and inverter-only
electric motors). DOE also requests data on the fraction of sales that go through these channels.
2.7
ENERGY USE ANALYSIS
The purpose of the energy use analysis is to determine the annual energy consumption of
electric motors at different efficiencies for representative U.S. consumers in the commercial,
industrial, residential, and agricultural sectors, and to assess the energy savings potential of
increased electric motor efficiency. The energy use analysis estimates the range of energy use of
electric motors in the field (i.e., as they are actually used by consumers). The energy use analysis
provides the basis for other analyses DOE performed, particularly assessments of the energy
savings and the savings in consumer operating costs that could result from adoption of amended
or new standards.
For electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25, the analysis focuses on 8 representative
units identified in the engineering analysis (section 2.5). In addition, for NEMA Design A, B and
C electric motors, additional representative units were added to represent consumers of larger
sized electric motors (i.e., units 9, 10, and 11). See Table 2.7.1. For SNEMs, DOE analyzed 12
representative units and for AO electric motors, DOE analyzed 15 representative units (see
section 2.5.2.2). For each representative unit, DOE determined the annual energy consumption
value by multiplying the motor input power by the annual operating hours in a representative
sample of electric motor consumers. Chapter 7 of this TSD provides details on DOE’s energy use
analysis for electric motors.

Consumer Sample
DOE created a consumer sample to represent consumers of electric motors in the
commercial, industrial, residential, and agricultural sectors. DOE used the sample to determine
electric motor annual energy consumption as well as for conducting the LCC and PBP analyses.
Each consumer in the sample was assigned a sector, an application, and a region. The sector and
application determine the usage profile of the electric motor and the economic characteristics of
the motor owner vary by sector and region.
DOE used data from the 2019 Low-Voltage Motors, World Market Report, the May 2014
Final Rule Technical Support Document, 2 and from the January 2021 Final Determination
Technical Support Document 3 to establish distributions of consumers by sector and horsepower.
Seven motor applications (air compressors, fans, pumps, material handling, material processing,
refrigeration compressors, and others) were selected as representative electric motor applications
based on a DOE-AMO report. 4 Distributions of consumers by application in commercial and
industrial sectors were also derived from the DOE-AMO report. In the agricultural sector, DOE
considered the pump application for agricultural farm and ranch irrigation based on the 2013
Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey. 5 For fire pump electric motors, DOE considered a separate
fire pump application. For the residential sector, DOE used the distributions of consumers by
application from the January 2021 Final Determination Technical Support Document. In
addition, for AO electric motors, DOE assumed all AO electric motors were used in fan
applications. For each sector, DOE developed distributions across regions based on the 2018
Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) 6, the 2018 Manufacturing Energy
Consumption Survey (MECS), 7 the 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey, n and the 2015
Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS). 8
For electric motors that DOE may consider in a potential expanded scope, (i.e., electric
motors above 500 horsepower; electric motors that are synchronous motors; and submersible
electric motors), DOE is considering relying on the same sample as for electric motors regulated
at 10 CFR 431.25.
See chapter 7 of the TSD for more details on the resulting distribution of consumers by
sector, applications, and regions.
DOE seeks input on data sources that DOE can use to help establish a consumer sample
for each category of electric motor analyzed and for electric motors that DOE may consider
including in the NOPR (i.e., electric motors above 500 horsepower; electric motors that are
synchronous motors; submersible electric motors, and inverter-only electric motors).
Specifically, DOE requests comments on the distribution of electric motors by sector,
applications, and region used to characterize the consumer sample for electric motors analyzed

and for electric motors that DOE may consider including in the NOPR (i.e., electric motors
above 500 horsepower; electric motors that are synchronous motors; submersible electric motors,
and inverter-only electric motors).
2.7.2
Motor Input Power
DOE calculated the motor input power as the sum of (1) the electric motor’s rated
horsepower multiplied by its operating load (i.e., the motor output power), and (2) the losses at
the operating load (i.e., part-load losses). DOE estimated distributions of motor average annual
operating load by application and sector based on information from the DOE-AMO report. DOE
determined the part-load losses using outputs from the engineering analysis (full-load efficiency
at each efficiency level) and published part-load efficiency information from 2016 and 2020
catalog data from five manufacturers ("2016 Manufacturer Catalog Data") 9, 10, 11 , 12, 13 and four
manufacturers (“2020 Manufacturer Catalog Data”) 14, 15, 16, 17 to model motor part-load losses as
a function of the motor’s operating load.
See chapter 7 of the TSD for the resulting distribution of load for each application.
DOE requests comments on the distribution of average annual operating load by
application and sector used to characterize the variability in energy use for currently regulated
electric motors, SNEMs, and AO electric motors.
DOE seeks input on data sources that DOE can use to help characterize load profiles (i.e.,
percentage of annual operating hours spent at specified load points) for currently regulated
electric motors, SNEMs, and AO electric motors, including the distribution of those profiles by
application and sector.
DOE seeks input on data sources that DOE can use to help characterize the variability in
annual energy consumption for additional categories of electric motors that may be considered
for inclusion in the NOPR (i.e., electric motors above 500 horsepower; electric motors that are
synchronous motors; submersible electric motors, and inverter-only electric motors).
Specifically, DOE is requesting data and information related to: (1) the distribution of motor
average annual operating loads by application and sector; and (2) applicable the load profiles
(i.e., percentage of annual operating hours spent at specified load points), including the
distribution of those profiles by application and sector.
2.7.3
Annual Operating Hours
DOE used information from the DOE-AMO report to establish distributions of motor
annual hours of operation by application for the commercial and industrial sectors. The DOEAMO report provided average, mean, median, minimum, maximum, and quartile boundaries for
annual operating hours across industrial and commercial sectors by application and showed no
significant difference in average annual hours of operation between horsepower ranges. DOE
2-55
used this information to develop application-specific statistical distributions of annual operating
hours in the commercial and industrial sectors. For electric motors used in the agricultural sector,
DOE derived statistical distributions of annual operating hours of irrigation pumps by region
using data from the 2013 Census of Agriculture Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey. DOE used a
uniform distribution between 0.5 hours and 6 hours per year to establish the fire pump electric
motors annual operating hours, based on information from the May 2014 Final Rule. For
SNEMS and AO electric motors used in the residential sector, DOE relied on the distributions of
operating hours by application as presented in the Chapter 7 of the January 2021 Final
Determination Technical Support Document. For electric motors that DOE may consider in a
potential expanded scope in the NOPR, (i.e., electric motors above 500 horsepower; electric
motors that are synchronous motors; and submersible electric motors), DOE is considering
relying on the same operating hours as those used for the electric motors that are regulated at 10
CFR 431.25.
In response to the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, NEEA referenced a report it
prepared regarding the operating hours and energy consumption of motors installed on clean
water pump systems in the Pacific Northwest. (NEEA, No. 8 at p. 4) The data referenced by
NEEA include operating hours and energy use data for clean water pumps used in the Pacific
Northwest. However, DOE's analysis covers all pump applications (not restricted to clean water
pumps) and considers all geographic regions. In addition, the level of aggregation used in the
DOE-AMO report does not allow the combining of these data with the information provided in
the DOE-AMO dataset in a way that would provide representative results for all pumps
applications and across all regions. Therefore, DOE used data available in the DOE-AMO report
instead.
DOE is requesting comments on the distribution of annual operating hours by application
and sector used to characterize the variability in energy use of currently regulated electric
motors, SNEMs, and AO electric motors.
DOE seeks input on data sources that DOE can use to help establish the distribution of
annual operating hours by application and sector for each additional category of electric motor
that may be considered in the expanded scope in the NOPR (i.e., electric motors above 500
horsepower; electric motors that are synchronous motors; submersible electric motors, and
inverter-only electric motors).
2.7.4
Impact of Electric Motor Speed
The energy use analysis accounts for any changes in the motor's rated speed with an
increase in efficiency levels. A decrease in slip can result in a higher operating speed and a
potential overloading of the motor. The cubic relation between speed and power requirements in
variable torque applications can affect the benefits gained by efficient motors, which may have a
lower slip.
2-56
In response to the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, NEMA commented that DOE's
previous analysis did not account for the impacts of an increase in motor speed with increased
efficiency. NEMA commented that as the slip decreases, the motor will drive the load faster and
increase its input power consumption. (NEMA, No. 4 at p. 8)
DOE incorporated the effect of potential increase in speed into the energy use analysis for
those electric motors that are currently regulated under 10 CFR 431.25 and for AO-MEMs.
Based on information from a European motor study. 18 DOE assumed that 20 percent of
consumers with fan, pump, and air compressor applications would be negatively impacted by
higher operating speeds. o For other electric motor categories that it analyzed, DOE did not
characterize the motor speed by ELs (see section 2.5) and DOE did not include this analysis.
DOE requests comment on its assumption that 20 percent of consumers with fan, pump,
and air compressor applications would be negatively impacted by higher operating speeds. DOE
seeks additional information and analysis on projected impacts related to any increases in motor
nominal speed.
2.8
LIFE-CYCLE COST AND PAYBACK PERIOD ANALYSES
DOE conducted LCC and PBP analyses to evaluate the economic impacts on individual
consumers of potential energy conservation standards for electric motors. The effect of new or
amended energy conservation standards on individual consumers usually involves a reduction in
operating cost and an increase in purchase cost. DOE used the following two metrics to measure
consumer impacts:
•
The LCC is the total consumer expense of an appliance or product over the life of that
product, consisting of total installed cost (manufacturer selling price, distribution chain
markups, sales tax, and installation costs) plus operating costs (expenses for energy use,
maintenance, and repair). To compute the operating costs, DOE discounts future operating
costs to the time of purchase and sums them over the lifetime of the product.
•
The PBP is the estimated amount of time (in years) it takes consumers to recover the
increased purchase cost (including installation) of a more-efficient product through lower
operating costs. DOE calculates the PBP by dividing the change in purchase cost at higher
The European motor study estimates, as a "worst case scenario," that up to 40 percent of consumers
purchasing motors for replacement applications may not see any decrease or increase in energy use due to this
impact and did not incorporate any change in energy use with increased speed. In addition, the European motor
study also predicts that any energy use impact will be reduced over time because new motor driven equipment
would be designed to take account of this change in speed. Therefore, the study did not incorporate this effect in the
analysis (i.e., 0 percent of negatively impacted consumers). In the absence of additional data to estimate the
percentage of consumers that may be negatively impacted in the compliance year, DOE relied on the mid-point
value of 20 percent.
o
2-57
efficiency levels by the change in annual operating cost for the year that amended or new
standards are assumed to take effect.
For any given efficiency level, DOE measures the change in LCC relative to the LCC in
the no-new-standards case, which reflects the estimated efficiency distribution of electric motors
in the absence of new or amended energy conservation standards. In contrast, the PBP for a
given efficiency level is measured relative to the baseline product.
For each considered efficiency level in each equipment class, DOE calculated the LCC
and PBP for a nationally representative set of consumers. As previously stated in section 2.7.1,
DOE developed a sample for consumers in the commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors.
For each sample consumer, DOE determined the energy consumption for the analyzed electric
motor and the appropriate energy price. By developing a representative sample of consumers, the
analysis captured the variability in energy consumption and energy prices associated with the use
of electric motors.
Inputs to the calculation of total installed cost include the cost of the equipment—which
includes MPCs, manufacturer markups, distributor and retailer markups, and sales taxes—and
installation costs. Inputs to the calculation of operating expenses include annual energy
consumption, energy prices and price projections, repair and maintenance costs, product
lifetimes, and discount rates. DOE created distributions of values for equipment lifetime,
discount rates, and sales taxes, with probabilities attached to each value, to account for their
uncertainty and variability.
The computer model DOE uses to calculate the LCC and PBP relies on a Monte Carlo
simulation to incorporate uncertainty and variability into the analysis. The Monte Carlo
simulations randomly sample input values from the probability distributions and the electric
motor consumer sample. The model calculated the LCC and PBP for equipment at each
efficiency level for 10,000 consumers per simulation run. The analytical results include a
distribution of 10,000 data points showing the range of LCC savings for a given efficiency level
relative to the no-new-standards case efficiency distribution. In performing an iteration of the
Monte Carlo simulation for a given consumer, equipment efficiency is chosen based on its
probability. If the chosen equipment efficiency is greater than or equal to the efficiency of the
standard level under consideration, the LCC and PBP calculation reveals that a consumer is not
impacted by the standard level. By accounting for consumers who already purchase moreefficient equipment, DOE avoids overstating the potential benefits from increasing equipment
efficiency.
DOE calculated the LCC and PBP for all consumers of electric motors as if each were to
purchase a new electric motor in the expected year of required compliance with new or amended
2-58
standards. For purposes of its analysis, DOE used 2026 as the first year of compliance with any
amended standards for electric motors. p
Table 2.8.1 summarizes the approach and data DOE used to derive inputs to the LCC and
PBP calculations. The subsections that follow provide further discussion. Details of the
spreadsheet model, and of all the inputs to the LCC and PBP analyses, are contained in chapter 8
of the TSD and its appendices. Similar to the energy use analysis, the LCC and PBP analyses
were conducted for the representative units listed in Table 2.7.1.

2.8.1
Equipment Cost
To calculate consumer equipment costs, DOE multiplied the MSPs developed in the
engineering analysis by the markups described previously (along with sales taxes). In addition,
for electric motors regulated under 10 CFR 431.25, DOE updated the model used in the May
2014 Final Rule q to establish a relationship between MSP and horsepower and estimate the MSP
of the additional representative units analyzed (i.e., units 9, 10, and 11). In this preliminary
analysis, DOE assumed the real prices of electric motors would remain constant over time.
2.8.2
Installation Cost
Installation cost includes labor, overhead, and any miscellaneous materials and parts
needed to install the product. Based on information from the May 2014 Final Rule and
installation cost data from RS Means Electrical Cost Data 2021, r DOE estimated that installation
costs do not increase with equipment efficiency except in terms of shipping costs, which depend
on the weight of the electric motor. To arrive at total installed costs, DOE included shipping
costs as part of the installation costs for equipment classes for which these data were available.
These shipping costs were based on weight data from the engineering analysis for the
representative units. In addition, for electric motors regulated under 10 CFR 431.25, DOE
updated the model used in the May 2014 Final Rule s to establish a relationship between weight
and horsepower and estimate the weight of the additional representative units analyzed in the
LCC (i.e., units 9, 10, and 11).
DOE requests feedback and data on whether the installation costs at higher efficiency
levels differ in comparison to the baseline installation costs for currently regulated electric
motors, SNEMs, and AO electric motors. To the extent that these costs differ, DOE seeks
supporting data and the reasons for those differences.
DOE seeks data and information to help establish installation costs by efficiency level for
each additional category of electric motor that may be considered in the expanded scope in the
NOPR (i.e., electric motors above 500 horsepower; electric motors that are synchronous motors;
submersible electric motors, and inverter-only electric motors). Specifically, at a given
horsepower, DOE seeks information on how these installation costs may differ compared to the
installation costs of a NEMA Design A or B motor at the baseline efficiency level.

2.8.3
Annual Energy Consumption
For each sampled consumer, DOE determined the energy consumption of an electric
motor at different efficiency levels using the approach previously described in section 2.7.
2.8.4
Energy Prices
Because the marginal electricity price more accurately captures the incremental savings
associated with a change in energy use from higher efficiency, it provides a better representation
of incremental change in consumer costs than average electricity prices. Therefore, DOE applied
average electricity prices for the energy use of the equipment purchased in the no-new-standards
case, and marginal electricity prices for the incremental change in energy use associated with the
other efficiency levels considered.
DOE derived average and marginal annual electricity prices in 2020 by sector using data
from EEI Typical Bills and Average Rates reports 19 and the methodology provided in a
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report. 20 DOE's methodology allows electricity prices to
vary by sector, region, and season. In the analysis, variability in electricity prices is chosen to be
consistent with the way the consumer economic and energy use characteristics are defined in the
LCC and PBP analyses. For the agricultural sector, DOE relied on the industrial prices. See
chapter 8 of the TSD for details.
To estimate energy prices in future years, DOE multiplied the 2020 energy prices by the
projection of annual average price changes by sector from the Reference case in AEO 2021. 21
AEO 2021 has an end year of 2050 and DOE assumed a flat rate of change in prices from 2050.
2.8.5
Maintenance and Repair Costs
Repair costs are associated with repairing or replacing equipment components that have
failed in an appliance; maintenance costs are associated with maintaining the operation of the
product. Typically, small incremental increases in equipment efficiency produce no, or only
minor, changes in repair and maintenance costs compared to baseline efficiency products.
DOE defined motor repair as including rewinding and reconditioning. DOE estimated
repair costs as a function of efficiency based on data from Vaughen’s National Average Prices. 22
Based on these data, DOE estimated the repair costs for baseline electric motors, and used a 15
percent repair cost increase per NEMA efficiency band increase. In addition, based on the May
2014 Final Rule and DOE AMO Premium Motor Selection and Application Guide, 23 DOE
considered that electric motors at or below 20 horsepower are not repaired. DOE also assumed
that electric motors with a horsepower greater than 20 and less than or equal to 100 horsepower
are repaired once over their lifetime, while electric motors with a horsepower greater than 100
and less than or equal to 500 are repaired twice over their lifetime. As in the May 2014 Final
Rule, DOE did not consider any repairs for fire pump electric motors due to their low operating
hours. As in the May 2014 Final Rule, DOE also assumed that all electric motors above 20
horsepower would be repaired at least one, regardless of the sampled lifetime. For SNEMs and
2-61
AO electric motors, DOE included repair costs for units with a horsepower greater than 20
horsepower.
NEMA commented that definite-or special-purpose electric motors have higher repairrates than general purpose electric motors. (NEMA, No. 4 at p. 9) NEMA did not provide
additional data to estimate the repair rates for these motors and differentiate between definite-or
special-purpose electric motors and general-purpose motors. In the preliminary analysis, DOE
used an average repair frequency by horsepower range, for all electric motors (except for fire
pump electric motors, which are not repaired).
For the maintenance costs, DOE did not find data indicating a variation in maintenance
costs between baseline efficiency and higher efficiency motors. The cost of replacing bearings,
which is the most common maintenance practice, is constant across efficiency levels.
DOE seeks comment and data regarding the repair costs (by efficiency level) for the
electric motors analyzed. DOE also seeks comment and data on the repair frequency assumptions
used in the LCC and PBP analyses. Among the issues of interest to DOE is whether DOE’s
analysis should continue to assume that all electric motors between 21 and 100 horsepower are
repaired once during their lifetime, or if the analysis should treat some electric motors with
shorter lifetimes as not being repaired (e.g., electric motors with sampled lifetimes that are lower
than half the average motor lifetime). Similarly, DOE requests comment on whether its analysis
should continue to assume that all electric motors between 101 and 500 horsepower are repaired
twice during their lifetime, or to treat some electric motors with shorter lifetimes as not being
repaired (e.g., electric motors with sampled lifetimes that are lower than a third of the average
motor lifetime).
DOE requests feedback and data on whether maintenance costs at higher efficiency
levels differ in comparison to the baseline maintenance costs for any of the representative units
analyzed. To the extent that these costs differ, DOE seeks supporting data and the reasons for
those differences.
DOE seeks data and information to help establish repair and maintenance costs by
efficiency level for each additional category of electric motor that may be considered in the
expanded scope in the NOPR (i.e., electric motors above 500 horsepower; electric motors that
are synchronous motors; submersible electric motors, and inverter-only electric motors).
Specifically, DOE seeks information on how these repair and maintenance costs may differ
compared to the maintenance costs of a NEMA Design A or B motor at the baseline efficiency
level at a given horsepower.
2.8.6
Equipment Lifetime
For electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25, DOE estimated the average mechanical
lifetime of electric motors (i.e., the total number of hours an electric motor operates throughout
2-62
its lifetime) and used different values depending on the electric motor's horsepower. In the May
2020 Early Assessment RFI, DOE presented the methodology and information used in the
previous rulemaking to develop electric motors lifetimes. DOE requested input on the
appropriate lifetimes for electric motors. 85 FR 30878, 30887. DOE did not receive any
comments on this topic. For NEMA Design A, B, and C electric motors, and AO EMs, DOE
established sector-specific motor lifetime estimates to account for differences in maintenance
practices and field usage conditions. For electric motors used in the industrial sector, DOE used
data from an industrial expert provided during the May 2014 Final Rule to establish estimates of
average mechanical lifetimes by horsepower range. 24 For NEMA Design A, B, and NEMA
Design C electric motors used in the agricultural and commercial and sectors, and for fire pump
electric motors, DOE calculated the average mechanical lifetimes by multiplying the average
motor lifetimes (in years) as established in the May 2014 Final Rule by the average annual
operating hours as established in the energy use analysis. In addition, DOE applied a maximum
lifetime of 30 years as used in the May 2014 Final Rule.
For SNEMs and AO SNEMs, DOE used mechanical lifetime estimates based on the
January 2020 Final Determination analysis (See chapter 8 of the January 2021 Final
Determination Technical Support Document for small electric motors) and on information from
DOE’s Advanced Manufacturing Office, 25 Both sources estimate average mechanical lifetimes at
30,000 hours for single-phase, CSCR motors and 40,000 hours for polyphase motors. In addition,
when estimating the minimum mechanical lifetime for SNEMs, based on the January 2020 Final
Determination analysis, DOE assumed single-phase motors would not suffer mechanical failure
until they have run at least 15,000 hours, and polyphase motors until 20,000 hours. To estimate
the maximum mechanical lifetime, DOE assumed that the mean value is centered between the
minimum and maximum value.
DOE then developed Weibull distributions of mechanical lifetimes. The lifetime in years
for a sampled electric motor is calculated by dividing the sampled mechanical lifetime by the
sampled annual operating hours of the electric motor. This model produces a negative correlation
between annual hours of operation and electric motor lifetime. Electric motors operated many
hours per year are likely to be retired sooner than electric motors that are used for only a few
hundred hours per year. DOE considered that electric motors of less than or equal to 75
horsepower are most likely to be embedded in a piece of equipment (i.e., an application). For
such applications, DOE developed Weibull distributions of application lifetimes expressed in
years and compared the sampled motor mechanical lifetime (in years) with the sampled
application lifetime. DOE assumed that the electric motor would be retired at the earlier of the
two ages.
DOE requests comments on the equipment lifetimes (both in years and in mechanical
hours) used for each representative unit considered in the LCC and PBP analyses.
DOE seeks data and information to help establish equipment lifetimes (either in years or
in mechanical hours) for each additional category of electric motor that may considered in the
2-63
NOPR. To the extent that these lifetimes differ by horsepower or sector, DOE seeks supporting
data to characterize these differences.
2.8.7
Discount Rates
When calculating LCC, DOE applies discount rates appropriate to consumers in the
residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural sectors to estimate the present value of future
operating costs.
As part of its analysis, DOE also applies weighted average discount rates calculated from
consumer debt and asset data, rather than marginal or implicit discount rates. t The LCC analysis
estimates net present value over the lifetime of the equipment, so the appropriate discount rate
will reflect the general opportunity cost of household funds, taking this time scale into account.
Given the long time horizon modeled in the LCC analysis, the application of a marginal interest
rate associated with an initial source of funds is inaccurate. Regardless of the method of
purchase, consumers are expected to continue to rebalance their debt and asset holdings over the
LCC analysis period, based on the restrictions consumers face in their debt payment
requirements and the relative size of the interest rates available on debts and assets. DOE
estimates the aggregate impact of this rebalancing using the historical distribution of debts and
assets.
To establish residential discount rates for the LCC analysis, DOE identified all relevant
household debt or asset classes in order to approximate a consumer’s opportunity cost of funds
related to appliance energy cost savings. It estimated the average percentage shares of the
various types of debt and equity by household income group using data from the Federal Reserve
Board’s Survey of Consumer Finances u (“SCF”) for 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013,
and 2016. Using the SCF and other sources, DOE developed a distribution of rates for each type
of debt and asset by income group to represent the rates that may apply in the year in which
amended standards would take effect. For the commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors,
DOE derived these discount rates by estimating the cost of capital for companies or public
entities that purchase electric motors. For private firms, the weighted average cost of capital is
commonly used to estimate the present value of cash flows to be derived from a typical company
project or investment. Most companies use both debt and equity capital to fund investments, so
their cost of capital is the weighted average of the cost to the firm of equity and debt financing.
As discount rates can differ across industries, DOE estimates separate discount rate distributions
for a number of aggregate sectors with which elements of the LCC consumer sample can be
The implicit discount rate is inferred from a consumer purchase decision between two otherwise identical goods
with different first cost and operating cost. It is the interest rate that equates the increment of first cost to the
difference in net present value of lifetime operating cost, incorporating the influence of several factors: transaction
costs; risk premiums and response to uncertainty; time preferences; and interest rates at which a consumer is able to
borrow or lend.

2.8.8
Energy Efficiency Distribution in the No-New-Standards Case
To accurately estimate the share of consumers that would be affected by a potential
energy conservation standard at a particular efficiency level, DOE’s LCC analysis considered the
projected distribution (market shares) of product efficiencies under the no-new-standards case
(i.e., the case without amended or new energy conservation standards).
The CA IOUs commented that changes to the motor market warranted updates to the
efficiency distributions as established in the previous rulemaking. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at p. 2)
To estimate the energy efficiency distribution of electric motors for 2026, DOE relied on
model counts by efficiency from the 2016 and 2020 Manufacturer Catalog Data and assumed no
changes in electric motor efficiency over time. The estimated market shares for the no-newstandards case for electric motors are shown in Table 2.8.2 by equipment class group and
horsepower range.
See chapter 8 of the TSD for further information on the derivation of the efficiency
distributions.

DOE requests comments on the efficiency distribution in the no-new standards case for
currently regulated electric motors, SNEMs, and AO electric motors.
DOE seeks information and data to help establish efficiency distribution in the no-new
standards case for each additional electric motors category that may be considered in the NOPR
expanded scope and by horsepower.
DOE requests data and information on any trends in the electric motor market that could
be used to forecast expected trends in market share by efficiency levels for each equipment class
(for both currently regulated electric motors, SNEMs, AO electric motors, and electric motors
that DOE may consider in the NOPR expanded scope). If disaggregated data are not available at
the equipment class level, DOE requests aggregated data at the equipment class group level.
2.8.9
Payback Period Analysis
The payback period is the amount of time it takes the consumer to recover the additional
installed cost of more-efficient equipment, compared to baseline equipment, through energy cost
savings. Payback periods are expressed in years. Payback periods that exceed the life of the
product mean that the increased total installed cost is not recovered in reduced operating
expenses.
The inputs to the PBP calculation for each efficiency level are the change in total
installed cost of the equipment and the change in the first-year annual operating expenditures
relative to the baseline. The PBP calculation uses the same inputs as the LCC analysis, except
that discount rates are not needed.
As noted previously, EPCA establishes a rebuttable presumption that a standard is
economically justified if the Secretary finds that the additional cost to the consumer of
purchasing equipment complying with an energy conservation standard level will be less than
three times the value of the first year’s energy savings resulting from the standard, as calculated
under the applicable test procedure. (42 U.S.C. 6316(a); 42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(B)(iii)) For each
considered efficiency level, DOE determined the value of the first year’s energy savings by
calculating the energy savings in accordance with the applicable DOE test procedure and
2-67
multiplying those savings by the average energy price projection for the year in which
compliance with the amended standards would be required.
2.9
SHIPMENTS ANALYSIS
DOE uses projections of annual equipment shipments to calculate the national impacts of
potential amended or new energy conservation standards on energy use, net present value of
benefits (“NPV”), and future manufacturer cash flows. v The shipments model takes an
accounting approach, tracking market shares of each equipment class and the vintage of units in
the stock. Stock accounting uses equipment shipments as inputs to estimate the age distribution
of in-service equipment stocks for all years. The age distribution of in-service equipment stocks
is a key input to calculations of both the National Energy Savings (“NES”) and NPV, because
operating costs for any year depend on the age distribution of the stock.
In the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, DOE presented the methodology used for
estimating shipments during the previous rulemaking. 85 FR 30878, 30888. DOE requested data
and input on sales data and on the rate at which annual sales of electric motors is expected to
change in the next 5 -10 years. DOE did not receive any data on electric motor shipments.
DOE estimated the shipments of electric motors regulated under 10 CFR 431.25 to be
approximately 4.5 million units in 2020 based on data from the 2019 Low-Voltage Motors,
World Market Report, and on the share of low-voltage motors that are subject to the electric
motors energy conservation standards. DOE estimated the total shipments of SNEMs and AO
electric motors in 2020 to be 20.6 million units, and 8.2 million units respectively. (See Table
2.9.1) For electric motors regulated under 10 CFR 431.25, DOE developed a distribution of
shipments by equipment class group, horsepower, enclosure, and poles based on data from
manufacturer interviews. For SNEMs and AO electric motors, DOE relied on model counts from
the 2020 and 2016/2020 Manufacturer Catalog Data.
DOE uses data on manufacturer shipments as a proxy for national sales, as aggregate data on sales are lacking. In
general, one would expect a close correspondence between shipments and sales.

For electric motors currently subject to energy conservation standards which are
primarily used in the industry and commercial sectors, DOE projected shipments in the no-new
standards case under the assumption that long-term growth of electric motor shipments will be
driven by long-term growth of fixed investments. w DOE relied on the AEO 2021 forecast of
fixed investments through 2050 to inform its shipments projection. For the years beyond 2050,
DOE assumed that fixed investment growth will follow the same growth trend as GDP, which
DOE projected for years after 2050 based on the GDP forecast provided by AEO 2021. For
SNEM and AO electric motors, which are typically lower horsepower motors, DOE used the
same methodology as in the March 2010 Final Rule 27 and projected shipments using the
following sector-specific market drivers from AEO 2021: commercial building floor space,
housing numbers, and value of manufacturing activity for the commercial, residential, and
industrial sector, respectively. DOE estimated shipments for each equipment class group and
horsepower range based on equipment class group/horsepower range market shares using
information gleaned from manufacturer interviews and 2020 and 2016 Manufacturer Catalog
data model counts.
Table 2.9.2 through Table 2.9.4 presents DOE’s projections of shipments by equipment
class group and horsepower range for selected years of the analysis period. The projections refer
to estimates that DOE developed using the forecast in the AEO 2021 Reference case. In addition
w
Fixed investments represent the accumulation of physical assets including machinery and buildings.

to these projections, DOE projected shipments using the High-Economic Growth and LowEconomic Growth cases in AEO 2021. See chapter 9 of the TSD.

NEEA suggested that many manufacturers market advanced technology motors as direct
replacements for single-speed squirrel cage induction motors. NEEA stated that consumers may
choose these motor technologies over induction motors for their efficiency, variable-speed
capabilities, and unique benefits. NEEA commented that DOE should account for this expected
market shift to advanced motor technologies in their electric motors analysis. (NEEA, No. 8 at p.
4) The Efficiency Advocates commented that changes in the relative purchase price resulting
from potential new standards will cause some buyers to switch from induction motors to
advanced motors. (Efficiency Advocates, No. 9 at p. 5) The CA IOUs commented that IE4
motors are capable of displacing conventional NEMA general purpose motors (i.e., Design B)
motors in core general purpose motor applications. They stated that modern motor architectures
and conventional induction motors are competing in the same space, and therefore, should be
analyzed together, and joint coverage may be warranted. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at p. 10) The CA
IOUs also presented a table of the annual growth rates for each of the expanded motor types,
which showed continued market growth rates for all expanded scope motors. (CA IOUs, No. 7 at
p. 10)
In each standard case, DOE accounted for the possibility that some consumers may
choose to purchase a synchronous electric motor (out of scope of this preliminary analysis) rather
than a more efficient NEMA Design A or B electric motor. DOE developed a consumer choice
model to estimate the percentage of consumers that would purchase a synchronous electric motor
based on the payback period of such investment. Table 2.9.5 presents DOE’s estimates of the
2-71
percentages of consumers that would purchase a synchronous electric motor instead of a NEMA
Design A or B electric motor for the horsepower ranges that DOE believes these purchase
substitutions may occur.

Chapter 9 of the TSD provides a detailed description of the shipments analysis.
DOE requests comment and additional data on its 2020 shipments estimates for electric
motors currently regulated under 10 CFR 431.25, SNEMs, and AO electric motors. DOE seeks
comment on the methodology used to project future shipments of electric motors. DOE seeks
information on other data sources that can be used to estimate future shipments. For this analysis,
DOE assumed that the fraction of shipments in each equipment class group and horsepower
range do not change over time. DOE requests information and additional data on whether there is
an expected shift from one horsepower range to another over time. In addition, DOE requests
comments on whether establishing different potential standards by horsepower would result in a
shift from one horsepower range to another over time.
DOE requests 2020 (or the most recently available) shipments data for each additional
category of electric motors that may be considered in the NOPR expanded scope by horsepower
and sector (i.e., residential, commercial, industrial, and agriculture). Specifically, DOE requests
feedback on its shipments estimates presented in Table 2.9.6. In addition, DOE requests
information on the rate at which annual shipments of electric motors considered in the expanded
scope is expected to change in the next 5-10 years. If possible, DOE requests this information by
electric motor category.
DOE requests comment on the methodology used to analyze the potential market shift
from NEMA Design A and B electric motors to unregulated synchronous electric motor in the

2.10
NATIONAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
The national impact analysis assesses the aggregate impacts at the national level of
potential energy conservation standards for each of the considered equipment class groups, as
measured by the NPV of total consumer economic impacts and the NES. DOE determined the
NPV and NES for the efficiency levels considered for each of the equipment class groups
analyzed (disaggregated by horsepower ranges). To make the analysis more accessible and
transparent to all interested parties, DOE prepared a model to forecast NES and the national
consumer economic costs and savings resulting from the amended standards. The model uses
typical values as inputs (as opposed to probability distributions). To assess the effect of input
uncertainty on NES and NPV results, DOE may conduct sensitivity analyses by running
scenarios on specific input variables. Chapter 10 of this TSD provides additional details
regarding the national impact analysis.
Several of the inputs for determining NES and NPV depend on the forecast trends in
equipment energy efficiency. For the base case (which presumes no amended standards), DOE
uses the efficiency distributions developed for the LCC analysis and assumes no change over the
forecast period. In this analysis, DOE has used a roll-up scenario in developing its forecasts of
efficiency trends after standards take effect. Under a roll-up scenario, all equipment performing
2-73
at levels below a prospective standard are moved, or rolled-up, to the minimum performance
level allowed under the standard. The share of equipment efficiencies above the standard level
under consideration would remain the same as before the amended standard takes effect.
In its analysis, DOE analyzes the energy and economic impacts of a potential standard on
all equipment classes aggregated by horsepower range. (See Table 2.40) For electric motors
regulated under 10 CFR 431.25, inputs for non-representative equipment classes (i.e., those not
analyzed in the engineering, energy-use, and LCC analyses) are scaled using results for the
analyzed representative equipment classes. For example, results from representative unit 1
(NEMA Design A and B electric motors, 5-horsepower, 4-pole, enclosed) are scaled to represent
all NEMA Design A and B electric motor equipment classes between 1 and 5 horsepower.
Scaled energy use values were calculated by applying the ratio of the current federal standard
baseline between the representative and non-representative equipment classes and multiplying by
the ratio of horsepower and assuming the incremental decrease between efficiency levels is the
same for representative and non-representative equipment classes. Scaled retail price and
installation costs (i.e., shipping costs) at EL0 were estimated using price and weight data
obtained from 2020 Manufacturer Catalog Data and outputs from the engineering analysis, and
assuming the incremental cost between efficiency levels is the same for representative and nonrepresentative equipment classes. Repair costs for each non-represented equipment class were
estimated based on information from Vaughen's National Average Prices. For each equipment
class group and horsepower range analyzed in the NIA, DOE then developed shipment-weighted
average inputs per unit. For SNEMs and AO electric motors, DOE did not scale the results of the
representative units due to the smaller size of horsepower ranges associated for each
representative unit, and lower shipments of motors at larger horsepower ratings.

DOE requests comment on its approach for estimating the energy-use and cost of nonrepresentative equipment classes of electric motors regulated under 10 CFR 431.25.
2.10.1 National Energy Savings
The inputs for determining the NES for the equipment analyzed are: (1) average annual
energy consumption per unit; (2) shipments; (3) equipment stock; (4) national site energy
consumption; and (5) site-to-primary energy conversion factors and FFC conversion factors.
DOE calculated the national site energy consumption by multiplying the number of units, or
stock, of the equipment (by vintage, or age) by the unit energy consumption (also by vintage).
DOE calculated annual NES based on the difference in national energy consumption for the base
case (without new efficiency standards) and for each higher efficiency standard. Cumulative
energy savings are the sum of the NES for each year.
Use of higher-efficiency equipment is occasionally associated with a direct rebound
effect, which refers to an increase in utilization of the equipment due to the increase in
efficiency. DOE did not find any data on the rebound effect specific to electric motors and did
not apply a rebound effect in the calculation of the NES.
For electric motors regulated under 10 CFR 431.25, DOE examined each equipment class
group and horsepower range and calculated the shipments-weighted average annual energy
consumption per unit (at each EL) based on (1) the market share of each equipment class
included in the range and (2) the estimated average annual energy consumption per unit of each
equipment class. Within each range, the inputs to the energy use calculation (i.e., operating
hours, load) are assumed to be constant. DOE calculated the average annual energy consumption
per unit of each non-representative equipment class by multiplying the average annual energy
consumption of the associated representative unit by a scaling factor. x
For SNEMs and AO electric motors, DOE did not scale the results of the representative
units due to the smaller size of horsepower ranges associated for each representative unit, and
lower shipments of motors at larger horsepower ratings. Instead, for each equipment class group
and horsepower range analyzed, DOE directly applied the results of the associated representative
unit.
In the standard case, as the price of NEMA Design A and B increases with higher
efficiency levels and the difference in price with more synchronous electric motors decreases,
DOE assumed a fraction of consumers would choose synchronous electric motors rather than
purchase NEMA Design A and B motors (See section 2.9). DOE calculated the average annual
Where the scaling factor is equal to the ratio of the current federal standard baseline between the representative and
non-representative equipment classes multiplied by the ratio of horsepower. Note: The annual energy consumption
of an electric motor is calculated as the motor horsepower multiplied by the motor operating load and operating
hours divided by the motor's efficiency. The energy use of two motors operating at the same load and for the same
number of hours is proportional to the ratio of horsepower and efficiency.
x
2-75
energy consumption for these consumers by multiplying the shipments-weighted average annual
energy consumption per unit at EL0 by the ratio of the nominal full-load efficiency at EL0
divided by the full-load efficiency of the synchronous electric motor. DOE also accounted for the
energy use reduction associated with using synchronous electric motors that incorporate speed
controls.
DOE requests comment and data regarding the potential increase in utilization of electric
motors due to any increase in efficiency.
2.10.2 Net Present Value of Consumer Benefit
The inputs for determining NPV of the total costs and benefits experienced by consumers
of the considered equipment are: (1) total annual installed costs; (2) total annual savings in
operating costs; and (3) a discount factor. DOE calculated net savings in each year as the
difference between the base case and each standards case in total savings in operating costs and
total increases in installed costs. DOE calculated savings over the life of the equipment shipped
in 2026-2055. The NPV is the difference between the present value of operating cost savings and
the present value of total installed costs. DOE used a discount factor based on real discount rates
of 3 percent and 7 percent to discount future costs and savings to present values.
DOE calculated increases in total installed costs as the product of the difference in total
installed cost between the base case and standards case (i.e., once the standards take effect).
DOE expressed savings in operating costs as decreases associated with the lower energy
consumption of equipment bought in the standards case compared to the base efficiency case.
Total savings in operating costs are the product of savings per unit and the number of units of
each vintage that survive in a given year.
For currently regulated electric motors, for each equipment class group and horsepower
range analyzed, DOE calculated the average total annual installed cost and total annual savings
in operating costs using the shipments-weighted average price, shipments-weighted average
installation costs, and shipments-weighted average repair costs of all electric motor equipment
classes included in the considered range. DOE calculated the shipments-weighted average price
per unit based on the market share of each equipment class included in the range, and on the
estimated average price per unit of each equipment class. Similarly, DOE calculated the
shipments-weighted average installation costs per unit based on the market share of each
equipment class included in the range, and on the estimated installation costs per unit of each
equipment class. In addition, for each equipment class group and horsepower range analyzed,
DOE calculated the shipments-weighted repair costs per unit based on the market share of each
equipment class included in the range and on the estimated repair costs per unit of each
equipment class. For SNEMs and AO electric motors, for each equipment class group and
horsepower range analyzed, DOE used the results of the associated representative unit.
2-76
In response to the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, regarding already-regulated motors,
Lennox commented that DOE must not promulgate any tightened standards that are not
economically justified, and DOE should exercise caution when considering such standards.
(Lennox, No. 6 at p. 2)
DOE is not establishing energy conservation standards in this preliminary analysis. Under
EPCA, any new or amended energy conservation standard must be designed to achieve the
maximum improvement in energy efficiency that DOE determines is technologically feasible and
economically justified. (42 U.S.C. 6316(a); 42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(A)) Furthermore, the new or
amended standard must result in a significant conservation of energy. (42 U.S.C. 6316(a); 42
U.S.C. 6295(o)(3)(B)) DOE is publishing this Preliminary Analysis to collect data and
information to inform its decision consistent with its obligations under EPCA.
2.11
PRELIMINARY MANUFACTURER IMPACT ANALYSIS
DOE performed a preliminary manufacturer impact analysis (MIA) (chapter 12 of the
TSD) to estimate the financial impact of amended energy conservation standards on electric
motor manufacturers, and to calculate the impact of such standards on employment and
manufacturing capacity. The MIA has both quantitative and qualitative aspects. The quantitative
part of the MIA relies on the Government Regulatory Impact Model (“GRIM”), an industrycash-flow model customized for these three industries. The GRIM inputs are information on the
industry cost structure, shipments, and revenues. This includes information from many of the
analyses described above, such as manufacturing costs and prices from the engineering analysis
and shipments forecasts. The key GRIM output is the industry net present value (INPV).
Different sets of assumptions (scenarios) will produce different results. The qualitative part of
the MIA addresses (or assesses as appropriate) factors such as equipment characteristics,
characteristics of particular firms, market and equipment trends, and the impacts of standards on
manufacturer subgroups.
DOE conducts each MIA in three phases and will further tailor the analytical framework
for each MIA based on comments from interested parties. In Phase I, DOE creates an industry
profile to characterize the industry and identify important issues that require consideration. In
Phase II, DOE prepares an industry cash-flow model and interview questionnaire to guide
subsequent discussions. In Phase III, DOE interviews manufacturers and assesses the impacts of
standards quantitatively and qualitatively. DOE assesses industry and subgroup cash flow and
NPV using the GRIM. DOE then assesses impacts on competition, manufacturing capacity,
employment, and regulatory burden based on manufacturer interview feedback and discussions.
DOE has evaluated and is reporting preliminary MIA information in this preliminary
analysis (see chapter 12 of the preliminary TSD).
As part of the NOPR, DOE will seek comments from manufacturers about their potential
loss of market share, changes in the efficiency distribution within each industry, and the total
reduction in equipment shipments at each new energy conservation standard level. DOE will
2-77
then estimate the impacts on the industry quantitatively and qualitatively. The following is an
overview of the information DOE intends to collect and analyze.
2.11.1 Industry Cash-Flow Analysis
The industry cash-flow analysis relies primarily on the GRIM. DOE uses the GRIM to
analyze the financial impacts of more stringent energy conservation standards on the industry
that produces the equipment covered by the standard. The GRIM analysis uses many factors to
determine annual cash flows from a new standard: annual expected revenues; manufacturer
costs, including cost of goods sold, depreciation, research, and development, selling, general, and
administrative expenses; taxes; and conversion capital expenditures. DOE compares the results
from this analysis against no-standards case projections that involve no new standards. The
financial impact of new standards is the difference between the two sets of discounted annual
cash flows. Other performance metrics, such as return on invested capital, are available from the
GRIM. For more information on the industry cash-flow analysis, refer to chapter 12 of the TSD.
In the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, NEMA commented that NEMA members
experienced higher than forecast requirements for resources and time to adapt products to the
current energy conservation standards adopted by DOE in the May 2014 Final Rule. NEMA
commented that, if DOE decides to revise its standards, DOE should revisit its analyses for
product and capital conversion costs, increase in equipment repair, enforcement, and cumulative
regulatory burden. (NEMA, No. 4 at p. 3)
As described in section 2.11, DOE will invite manufacturers of electric motors to provide
input regarding the issues cited by NEMA as well as any others in forming an accurate model of
financial impacts to their business on account of potential amended standards for electric motors.
2.11.2 Manufacturer Subgroup Analysis
Industry cost estimates may not be adequate to assess differential impacts among
subgroups of manufacturers. For example, small and niche manufacturers, or manufacturers
whose cost structure differs significantly from the industry average, could be more negatively
affected by the imposition of standards. Ideally, DOE would consider the impact on every firm
individually; however, since this usually is not possible, DOE typically uses the results of the
industry characterization to group manufacturers exhibiting similar characteristics.
2.11.3 Competitive Impacts Assessment
DOE must consider whether a new standard is likely to reduce industry competition, and
the Attorney General must determine the impacts, if any, of reduced competition. DOE will
make a determined effort to gather and report firm-specific financial information and impacts.
The competitive impacts assessment will focus on assessing the impacts on smaller
manufacturers. DOE will base this assessment on manufacturing cost data and information
collected from interviews with manufacturers. The interviews will focus on gathering
information to help assess asymmetrical cost increases to some manufacturers, increased
2-78
proportion of fixed costs potentially increasing business risks, and potential barriers to market
entry (e.g., proprietary technologies). The NOPR will be submitted to the Attorney General for a
review of the impacts of standards on competition. The Attorney General’s comments on the
proposed rule will be considered in preparing the final rule.
2.11.4 Cumulative Regulatory Burden
One aspect of assessing manufacturer burden involves looking at the cumulative impact
of multiple DOE standards and the product-specific regulatory actions of other Federal agencies
that affect the manufacturers of a covered product or equipment. While any one regulation may
not impose a significant burden on manufacturers, the combined effects of several existing or
impending regulations may have serious consequences for some manufacturers, groups of
manufacturers, or an entire industry. Multiple regulations affecting the same manufacturers can
strain profits and lead companies to abandon markets with lower expected future returns than
competing products. For these reasons, DOE conducts an analysis of cumulative regulatory
burden as part of its rulemakings pertaining to appliance efficiency. DOE will analyze and
consider the impact on manufacturers of multiple product-specific, Federal regulatory actions.
In comments to the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, RFI Lennox recommended that
DOE should not only consider the direct cumulative regulatory burden of motor manufacturers
which are largely used as components of larger system but should also consider the downstream
impacts and cumulative burden to manufacturers who apply these products. Lennox stated that
this burden should include not only the burden and cost increase of the motors but also burden
and cost to the end use products. (Lennox, No. 6 at p. 2)
As required under EPCA, when determining whether a standard is economically justified,
DOE evaluates the economic impact of the standard on the manufacturers of the products subject
to such standard. (See 42 USC 6295(o)(2)(B)(i)(I)) In the specific case of motors, whose
potential scope of application is broad, it may not be feasible to directly assess potential impacts
of amended energy conservation standards on all potential applications relying on electric
motors. However, DOE’s engineering analysis seeks to characterize the relationship between
efficiency and manufacturer selling price when holding constant or nearly constant the attributes
of a motor that are likely to be important to manufacturers of equipment that use electric motors.
For example, using the NEMA Design Letter as an equipment class factor limits the degree to
which several operational parameters can vary, including inrush current, locked-rotor torque,
breakdown torque, and slip.
2.11.5 Results for the Preliminary Manufacturer Impact Analysis
In this preliminary analysis, DOE presents its assumptions and initial calculations. DOE
relied on publicly available information as well as data from the April 2013 Standards Final
Rule. For more details, see chapter 12 of the TSD.
2-79
2.11.6 Enforcement of Noncompliant Imports
In comments to the May 2020 Early Assessment RFI, NEMA suggested that, before
revising these or other Standards, DOE should first invest resources in providing better
information to the Customs and Border Patrol for the enforcement of imports, in this case for
embedded electric motors. NEMA asserted that it is unfair to burden responsible manufacturers
with more costly regulations if their offshore competitors are not equally obligated/policed.
(NEMA, No. 4 at p. 2)
EPCA provides that any covered product or equipment “offered for importation in
violation of section 6302 of this title shall be refused admission into the customs territory of the
United States under rules issued by the Secretary of the Treasury,” except under certain terms
and conditions authorized under those rules. (42 U.S.C. 6301) Under the regulations issued by
the Department of Treasury and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), if the DOE or
the Federal Trade Commission “notifies CBP that a covered import does not comply with an
applicable energy conservation or energy labeling standard, CBP will refuse admission to the
covered import, or pursuant to paragraph (d) of this section, CBP may allow conditional release
of the covered import so that it may be brought into compliance.” (19 CFR 12.50(b))
In addition, EPCA authorizes DOE to require importers of covered products and
equipment “to submit information or reports” with respect to energy efficiency, energy use, or
water use of covered products and equipment “as the Secretary determines may be necessary to
establish and revise test procedures, labeling rules, and energy conservation standards for such
product and to [ensure] compliance with the requirements of this part.” (42 U.S.C. 6296(d))
Under 10 CFR 429.5, persons importing covered products or covered equipment are
required to comply with the provisions of 10 CFR parts 429, 430, and 431. Part 429 requires,
among other things, that importers of covered products or covered equipment subject to an
applicable energy conservation standard submit a certification report to DOE prior to distributing
their products in U.S. commerce. (10 CFR 429.12.(a)) The certification report must provide
specific information for each basic model, including the product or equipment type, the brand
name, and the basic model number, as well as specific energy use information. (10 CFR
429.12(b)). Importers are currently required to submit certifications on product-specific
templates to DOE's Compliance and Certification Management System (CCMS), which assigns
each certification submission a unique attachment identification number. (10 CFR 429.12(h))
2.12
CONSUMER SUBGROUP ANALYSIS
The consumer subgroup analysis (chapter 11 of the TSD) evaluates economic impacts on
selected consumer subgroups who might be adversely affected by a change in the energy
conservation standards for the considered equipment. A consumer subgroup comprises a subset
of the consumer population that may be affected disproportionately by new or revised energy
conservation standards. The purpose of a subgroup analysis is to determine the extent of any
2-80
such disproportional impacts. DOE evaluates impacts on particular subgroups of customers in
part by analyzing the LCC impacts and PBP for those particular customers.
DOE has identified two consumer subgroups that it believes may be affected
disproportionately by new or revised energy conservation standards: consumers in low electricity
price regions, and small businesses. In support of a subsequent NOPR, should one be issued,
DOE will conduct a consumer subgroup analysis.
DOE welcomes input regarding which, if any, consumer subgroups should be considered
when developing potential energy conservation standards for electric motors.
2.13
EMISSIONS IMPACT ANALYSIS
The emissions impact analysis, which is conducted in the NOPR phase, consists of two
components. The first component estimates the effect of potential energy conservation standards
on power sector and site (where applicable) combustion emissions of CO2, NOX, SO2, and Hg.
The second component estimates the impacts of potential standards on emissions of two
additional greenhouse gases, methane (“CH4”) and nitrous oxide (“N2O”), as well as the
reductions to emissions of all species due to “upstream” activities in the fuel production chain.
These upstream activities comprise extraction, processing, and transporting fuels to the site of
combustion. The associated emissions are referred to as upstream emissions.
The analysis of power sector emissions uses marginal emissions factors that are derived
from data in the most recent publication of AEO. The methodology is described in chapter 13
and 15 of this TSD.
Combustion emissions of CH4 and N2O are estimated using emissions intensity factors
published by the EPA. The FFC upstream emissions are estimated based on the methodology
described in chapter 15 of the preliminary TSD. The upstream emissions include both emissions
from fuel combustion during extraction, processing, and transportation of fuel, and “fugitive”
emissions (direct leakage to the atmosphere) of CH4 and CO2.
The emissions intensity factors are expressed in terms of physical units per megawatthour (“MWh”) or MMBtu of site energy savings. Total emissions reductions are estimated using
the energy savings calculated in the NIA.
The AEO incorporates the projected impacts of existing air quality regulations on
emissions. AEO generally represents current legislation and environmental regulations, including
recent government actions, for which implementing regulations were available as of the time of
its preparation. The methodology is described in more detail in chapter 13 of the preliminary
analysis TSD.
2-81
DOE requests comment on its approach to conducting the emissions analysis for electric
motors.
2.14
MONETIZATION OF EMISSIONS REDUCTION BENEFITS
DOE may consider the estimated monetary benefits likely to result from the reduced
emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O, NOX and SO2 that are expected to result from each of the potential
standard levels considered in the next phase of the rulemaking, should DOE proceed to a NOPR.
Currently, in compliance with the preliminary injunction issued on February 11, 2022, in
Louisiana v. Biden, No. 21-cv-1074-JDC-KK (W.D. La.), DOE is not monetizing the costs of
greenhouse gas emissions.
To estimate the monetary value of reduced NOX and SO2 emissions from electricity
generation attributable to the standard levels it considers, DOE will use benefit-per-ton estimates
derived from analysis conducted by the EPA. For NOX and SO2 emissions from combustion at
the site of product use, DOE will use another set of benefit-per-ton estimates published by the
EPA.
DOE invites input on the proposed approach for estimating monetary benefits associated
with emissions reductions.
2.15
UTILITY IMPACT ANALYSIS
To estimate the impacts of potential energy conservation standards on the electric utility
industry, DOE uses published output from the NEMS associated with the most recent publication
of AEO. NEMS is a large, multi-sectoral, partial-equilibrium model of the U.S. energy sector
that EIA has developed over several years, primarily for the purpose of preparing the AEO.
NEMS produces a widely recognized forecast for the United States through 2050 and is available
to the public.
DOE uses a methodology based on results published for the AEO Reference case, as well
as a number of side cases that estimate the economy-wide impacts of changes to energy supply
and demand. DOE estimates the marginal impacts of reduction in energy demand on the energy
supply sector. In principle, marginal values should provide a better estimate of the actual impact
of energy conservation standards. DOE uses the side cases to estimate the marginal impacts of
reduced energy demand on the utility sector. These marginal factors are estimated based on the
changes to electricity sector generation, installed capacity, fuel consumption and emissions in the
AEO Reference case and various side cases. The methodology is described in more detail in
chapter 15 of the preliminary TSD.
The output of this analysis is a set of time-dependent coefficients that capture the change
in electricity generation, primary fuel consumption, installed capacity and power sector
2-82
emissions due to a unit reduction in demand for a given end use. These coefficients are
multiplied by the stream of electricity savings calculated in the NIA to provide estimates of
selected utility impacts of potential new or amended energy conservation standards. See chapter
15 of the preliminary TSD.
DOE seeks comment on the planned approach to conduct the utility impact analysis.
2.16
EMPLOYMENT IMPACT ANALYSIS
The adoption of energy conservation standards can affect employment both directly and
indirectly. Direct employment impacts are changes in the number of employees at the plants that
produce the covered equipment. DOE evaluates direct employment impacts in the MIA.
Indirect employment impacts may result from expenditures shifting between goods (the
substitution effect) and changes in income and overall expenditure levels (the income effect) that
occur due to standards. DOE defines indirect employment impacts from standards as net jobs
eliminated or created in the general economy as a result of increased spending driven by
increased product prices and reduced spending on energy.
The indirect employment impacts are investigated in the employment impact analysis
using the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s “Impact of Sector Energy Technologies”
(“ImSET”) model. The ImSET model was developed for DOE’s Office of Planning, Budget, and
Analysis to estimate the employment and income effects of energy-saving technologies in
buildings, industry, and transportation. Compared with simple economic multiplier approaches,
ImSET allows for more complete and automated analysis of the economic impacts of energy
conservation investments. See chapter 16 of the preliminary TSD.
DOE welcomes input on its proposed approach for assessing national employment
impacts.
2.17
REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS
In the NOPR stage, if conducted, DOE prepares an analysis that evaluates potential nonregulatory policy alternatives, comparing the costs and benefits of each to those of the proposed
standards. DOE recognizes that non-regulatory policy alternatives can substantially affect energy
efficiency or reduce energy consumption. DOE bases its assessment on the actual impacts of any
such initiatives to date, but also considers information presented by interested parties regarding
the potential future impacts of current initiatives. See chapter 17 of the preliminary TSD.
2-83
DOE requests any available data or reports that would contribute to the analysis of
alternatives to standards for electric motors. In particular, DOE seeks information on the
effectiveness of existing or past efficiency improvement programs for this equipment.

CHAPTER 3. CHAPTER 3. ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK, COMMENTS FROM
INTERESTED PARTIES, AND DOE RESPONSES
3.1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides a profile of the electric motor industry in the United States. The U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) developed the market and technology assessment presented in this chapter
primarily from a combination publicly available and privately obtained information. This assessment is
helpful in identifying the major manufacturers and their equipment characteristics, which form the basis
for the engineering and life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis.
This chapter consists of two sections: the market assessment and the technology assessment. The
market assessment provides an overall picture of the market for the equipment concerned, including a
scope of the equipment subject to potential energy conservation standards, equipment classes, estimated
respective manufacturer market shares; any regulatory and nonregulatory efficiency improvement
programs; market trends, and estimated quantities of equipment sold. The technology assessment
identifies a preliminary list of technology options for reducing motor losses to consider in the screening
analysis.
The information DOE gathers for the market and technology assessment serves as resource
material for use throughout the rulemaking. DOE considers both quantitative and qualitative information
from publicly available sources and interested parties.
3.2
MARKET ASSESSMENT
This section addresses the scope of the rulemaking, identifies potential equipment classes,
estimates national shipments of electric motors, and the market shares of electric motor manufacturers.
This section also discusses the application and performance of existing equipment and regulatory and
nonregulatory programs that apply to electric motors.
Definitions
Statutory
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 1992
(EPACT 1992), had previously established a definition for “electric motor” as “any motor which is a
general purpose T-frame, single-speed, foot-mounting, polyphase squirrel-cage induction motor of the
National Electrical Manufacturers Association [NEMA] Design A and B, continuous rated, operating on
230/460 volts and constant 60 Hertz line power as defined in NEMA Standards Publication MG1–1987.”
(42 U.S.C. 6311(13)(A) (1992)) Through subsequent amendments to EPCA and, in particular, the Energy
Independence and Security Act that was signed into law on December 19, 2007 (EISA 2007), Congress
3-1
struck the EPACT 1992 definition and replaced it with language that covered a broader scope of general
purpose electric motors. (See 42 U.S.C. 6311(13)(A)-(B) (2010))
2013 Test Procedure
In order to facilitate the potential application of energy conservation standards to motors built in
certain configurations, DOE adopted definitions for different types of motors in a 2013 Test Procedure
Final Rule. The definitions addressed motors already subject to standards, motors considered for inclusion
in a newly expanded scope of standards, and motors that DOE at the time declined to regulate through
energy conservation standards. Some of these clarifying definitions, such as the definitions for NEMA
Design A and C motors, came from NEMA MG 1-2009. DOE worked with subject matter experts
(SMEs), manufacturers, and the Motor Coalition to create working definitions for “partial electric motor”
and “brake electric motor”. These definitions are discussed in detail in the 2013 Test Procedures for
Electric Motors. (78 FR 75961, December 13, 2013)
2021 Test Procedure
On December 17, 2021, DOE published a test procedure notice of proposed rulemaking
(“NOPR”) for electric motors. (“2021 TP NOPR”). The December 2021 TP NOPR proposed test
procedures for motors that previously had no DOE test procedure to measure their efficiency at full-load.
The proposed test procedures included test procedures for air-over electric motors, submersible electric
motors, small non-“small electric motor” motors, and inverter-only/inverter-capable motors. 86 FR
71710, 71735-71743. With these types of motors proposed to be within scope of the test procedure, DOE
is considering setting energy conservation standards for each motor type. For more detail on the exact
scope of the 2021 Test Procedure for Electric Motors, see 86 FR 71710, 71715-71728.
Equipment Class Groups and Equipment Classes
In general, when DOE amends energy conservation standards, it divides covered equipment into
classes. By statute, these classes are based on: (a) the type of energy used; (b) the capacity of the
equipment; or (c) any other performance-related feature that justifies different efficiency levels, such as
features affecting consumer utility. (42 U.S.C. 6295(q)). In the following sections, DOE discusses the
design features that it is considering as part of its analysis.
Due to the number of electric motor characteristics (e.g., horsepower rating, pole configuration,
and enclosure), DOE is using two constructs, at this stage, to help develop appropriate energy
conservation standards for electric motors: “equipment class groups” and “equipment classes.” An
equipment class group (“ECG”) is a collection of electric motors that share a common design trait.
Equipment class groups include motors over a range of horsepower ratings, enclosure types, and pole
configurations. Essentially, each equipment class group is a collection of a large number of equipment
classes with the same design trait. An equipment class represents a unique combination of motor
characteristics for which DOE will determine an energy efficiency conservation standard. For example,
given a combination of motor design type, horsepower rating, pole configuration, and enclosure type, the
3-2
motor design type dictates the equipment class group, while the combination of the remaining
characteristics dictates the specific equipment class.
For this preliminary analysis, DOE has created ten equipment class groups based on various
motors characteristics. For medium electric motors, these characteristics are: NEMA (or IEC) Design
letter, if the motor needs external cooling for continuous operation, and whether a motor meets the
definition of a fire pump electric motor. For SNEMs, the two characteristics are locked-rotor torque and if
the motor needs external cooling for continuous operation. DOE’s resulting equipment classes groups are:
NEMA Design A and B motors, NEMA Design C motors, fire pump electric motors, low locked-rotor
torque SNEMs, medium locked-rotor torque SNEMs, high locked-rotor torque SNEMs, and air-over
versions of the NEMA Design A and B ECG as well as air-over versions for all three SNEM ECGs.
Within each of these ECGs, DOE uses combinations of other pertinent motor characteristics to enumerate
its individual equipment classes.
Electric Motor Shipments
To prepare an estimate of the national impact of energy conservation standards for electric
motors, DOE needed to estimate annual motor shipments of the regulated equipment classes. For this
stage of the rulemaking, DOE developed shipment projects based both on historical data and
manufacturer input of distribution of shipments by horsepower, enclosure, and pole count.
The shipment data and market trend information can be found in chapter 9 of the TSD.
Pole Configuration
Figure 3.2.1 shows the proportion of total NEMA Design A and B motor shipments that each pole
count accounts for. Almost 90% of NEMA Design A and B motors shipped are either 2-pole or 4-pole
designs, with 4-pole designs being the most prominent of all pole configurations.

Manufacturers and Market Share
The major manufacturers that dominate the electric motor market for this rulemaking, in
alphabetical order, are: ABB Motors and Mechanical (formerly Baldor Electric), General Electric
Industrial Motors, Nidec Motor Corporation, Regal Rexnord Corporation (formerly Regal-Beloit),
Siemens Industry Inc, Toshiba, and WEG. The manufacturers identified above are all major
manufacturers with diverse portfolios of equipment offerings, including electric motors covered under
EPCA. Over the past decade, there has been a consolidation of motor manufacturing in the United States
and this list is a result of those mergers and acquisitions.
DOE does not have empirical data on the market shares of particular manufacturers of electric
motors. Nevertheless, estimates of available cumulative data indicate that shipments of electric motors
from these companies constitute over a significant portion of the total U.S. market.

Air-Over Electric Motors
DOE is considering expanding the scope of the energy conservation standards to include air-over
electric motors. Air-over electric motors were previously excluded from scope according to 10 CFR
431.25(l)(1). In the December 2021 TP NOPR, DOE proposed to amend the definition of an air-over
electric motor at 10 CFR 431.12 to be: “an electric motor that does not reach thermal equilibrium during a
rated load temperature test according to section 2 of appendix B without the application of forced cooling
by a free flow of air from an external device not mechanically connected to the motor.” 86 FR 71710,
71731.
Air-over electric motors are commonly used in HVAC applications to drive the blower that forces
air through the HVAC system. The airstream generated by the motor for use in the HVAC system has the
secondary effect of cooling the motor itself and removes the need for an internal cooling fan in many
cases. Common motor topologies found in these HVAC blowers include shaded-pole, permanent-split
capacitor, electronically commutated motors (“ECMs”), and polyphase designs.
3-6
Synchronous Electric Motors
DOE is considering expanding the scope of the energy conservation standards to include
synchronous electric motors. Synchronous electric motors were previously excluded from standards
according to 10 CFR 431.25(g)(1).
Synchronous electric motors are made in various topologies and use different methods to generate
torque, some common topologies are: permanent magnet motors, ECMs, switched-reluctance,
synchronous reluctance, and line-start permanent magnet motors.
In 2021 NEMA released NEMA SM 1-2021, “Guide to General-Purpose Synchronous motors
without Excited Rotor Windings”. In this standard, definitions and specifications were given for
permanent magnet motors including ECMs and line-start permanent magnet motors. NEMA defines a
permanent magnet motor as a “synchronous motor in which the field excitation of the rotor is provided by
permanent magnets.” in section 1.12.2. NEMA also defined NEMA Designs MA and MB in sections
1.13.1 and 1.13.2 which appear to serve the same purpose for line-start permanent magnet motors as
NEMA Designs A and B do for induction motors. Similar to NEMA Design B, NEMA Design MB
specifies limits on the locked-rotor current of motors with this designation. DOE may consider using
these “MA” and “MB” design letters in a future stage of this rulemaking but notes the exclusion of
synchronous electric motors that are not able to start direct-on-line from their definition, which DOE
believes to be a significant portion of the synchronous motor market.
Synchronous electric motors often have greater full-load efficiencies due to the removal of the
rotor I2R losses that are present in induction motors due to the induced current flowing through the rotor
cage. Synchronous electric motors may be able to reach greater power densities, allowing for greater
power outputs from smaller frame sizes compared to induction designs. Most synchronous electric motors
require a drive to operate, and the use of a drive allows for “turning down” the motor where the overall
energy consumption is reduced by reducing the power output when the application does not need a fullload power. Drives are not exclusively used for synchronous electric motors and there are induction
designs that are rated for inverter-duty that allow for the use of a drive if desired; however, drives are
often paired with a synchronous motor instead because of the greater full-load efficiency and, in some
cases, lesser cost of the synchronous motor compared to an asynchronous design.
Submersible Electric Motors
DOE is also considering expanding the scope of the energy conservation standards to include
submersible electric motors. Submersible electric motors were previously excluded from standards
according to 10 CFR 431.25(l)(4). DOE defines a submersible electric motor as an electric motor that:
“(1) is intended to operate continuously only while submerged in liquid; (2) is capable of operation while
submerged in liquid for an indefinite period of time; and (3) has been sealed to prevent the ingress of
liquid from contacting the motor’s internal parts. 10 CFR 431.12.
Submersible electric motors are often used in well pumps, wastewater treatment, sewage
management, lift stations, and drain water management. DOE reviewed trade publications submitted by
3-7
the CA IOUs that indicated submersible pumps are becoming more common due to their lower first cost,
smaller size, and flood resistance. Since these motors are often placed into bore-holes with a limited
diameter, they often have a much larger aspect ratio than typical general purpose motors to meet similar
output power requirements and lose energy differently than their general purpose counterparts due to this
unique design requirement.
Trade Associations
DOE is aware of one trade association for manufacturers of medium electric motors, the National
Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).
National Electrical Manufacturers Association
NEMA was established as a trade association in 1926 and has since been divided into five core
departments that provide different functions for its members. Those departments are:
•
•
•
•
•
Technical Services
Governmental Relations
Industry Operations
Business Information Services
Medical
Through these groups, NEMA establishes voluntary standards for the performance, size, and
functionality of electrical equipment to facilitate communication among motor manufacturers, original
equipment manufacturers engineers, purchasing agents, and users. An example of NEMA’s role in
standardization is the NEMA Standards Publication MG 1, “Motors and Generators,” (MG 1) document,
which is a reference document for motor and generator manufacturers and users. MG 1 provides guidance
to motor manufacturers on performance and construction specifications for a broad range of electric
motors. By standardizing around certain parameters, NEMA makes it easier for users to identify and
purchase electric motors. MG 1 is a complete industry reference document for standardizing the motors
offered in the market. The groups above also set up work that NEMA, as a whole, does to contribute to
U.S. public policy and the economic data analysis it performs.
Regulatory Programs
EPCA, 42 U.S.C. 6311, et seq., as amended by EPACT 1992, established energy conservation
standards and test procedures for certain commercial and industrial electric motors manufactured (alone
or as a component of another piece of equipment) after October 24, 1997. Then, in December 2007,
Congress passed into law EISA 2007. (Pub. L. No. 110–140) Section 313(b)(1) of EISA 2007 updated the
energy conservation standards for those electric motors already covered by EPCA and established energy
conservation standards for a larger scope of motors not previously covered. (42 U.S.C. 6313(b)(2))
3-8
EPCA also directs that the Secretary [of Energy] shall publish a final rule no later than 24 months
after the effective date of the previous final rule to determine whether to amend the standards in effect for
such product. Any such amendment shall apply to electric motors manufactured after a date which is five
years after –
(i) the effective date of the previous amendment; or
(ii) if the previous final rule did not amend the standards, the earliest date by which a previous
amendment could have been effective. (42 U.S.C. 6313(b)(4)) As described previously, EISA 2007
constitutes the most recent amendment to EPCA and energy conservation standards for electric motors.
The compliance date prescribed by statute would require manufacturers to begin manufacturing compliant
motors by December 19, 2015 (as calculated under 42 U.S.C. 6313(b)(4)(B)). DOE, however, recognizes
that the statute also contemplated a three-year lead time for manufacturers to account for the potential
logistical and production hurdles that manufacturers may face when transitioning to the new standards. To
account for these challenges while remaining cognizant of, and the statutory timeline provided by
Congress, DOE has modified its proposed deadline and sets a compliance date of June 1, 2016, which
should provide manufacturers with sufficient lead-time to adjust to the new standards required by today’s
rule.
Additionally, DOE covers certain other motors not covered in this rulemaking under the
requirements of 10 CFR 431, Subpart X, which pertains to Small Electric Motors.
3.3
TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT
Induction motors have two core components: a stator and a rotor. The components work together
to convert electrical energy into rotational mechanical power. This is done by creating a rotating magnetic
field in the stator which induces currents in the conductor of the rotor. A “squirrel-cage” rotor of
induction motors consists of longitudinal conductive bars (rotor bars) connected at both ends by rings
(end rings) forming a cage-like shape. The currents in the rotor squirrel-cage create magnetic fields in the
rotor which then react with the stator’s rotating magnetic field to create torque. This torque provides the
rotational force delivered to the load via the shaft.
The purpose of the technology assessment is to develop a preliminary list of technology options
that may improve the efficiency of electric motors. For the electric motors covered in this rulemaking,
energy efficiency losses are grouped into five main categories: stator I2R losses, rotor I2R losses, core
losses, friction and windage losses, and stray-load losses.
Designers must balance the five basic losses to optimize the various motor performance criteria.
There are numerous trade-offs that must be considered. Efficiency is only one performance metric that
needs to be met and different applications require different torque-speed curves from the motor. Reducing
one loss may increase another. Different manufacturers utilize different approaches for minimizing motor
losses.
3-9
Technology Options for I2R Losses
I2R losses are produced from either the current flow through the copper windings in the stator
(stator I2R losses) or the squirrel cage of the rotor (rotor I2R losses). Stator I2R losses are reduced by
decreasing resistance to current flow in the electrical components of a motor. These losses are manifested
as heat, which can shorten the service life of a motor.
One method of reducing resistance losses in the stator is decreasing the length of the coil
extensions at the end turns. Reducing the length of copper wire in the stator slots not only reduces the
resistive losses, but also reduces the material cost of the electric motor because less copper is being used.
Another way to reduce stator I2R losses is to increase the cross-sectional area of the stator
winding conductors (e.g., copper wire diameter). This can be accomplished by either increasing the slot
fill and/or increasing the size of the stator slots. However, this method replaces some of the stator
magnetic cross-sectional area and increases the flux density in the stator. Increasing the flux density may
increase core losses. Furthermore, there are practical limits to how much slot fill can be increased. Very
high slot fills may require hand winding, a manufacturing technique that is far more labor-intensive than
machine winding. The motor designer must carefully weigh the trade-offs to optimize the motor design.
There are also various ways to reduce rotor I2R losses. The squirrel-cage is the part of the rotor in
which current flows. Squirrel-cages are usually made of aluminum in electric motors. However, one
method of increasing the efficiency of the motor is to substitute copper for aluminum when die-casting
the rotor squirrel-cage. Copper has a lower electrical resistivity (1.68 x 10-8 ohm-m) than aluminum (2.65
x 10-8 ohm-m). Copper’s 63 percent lower electrical resistance compared to aluminum can result in
reduced rotor I2R losses. There are, however, design trade-offs when using die-cast copper in a rotor.
Copper’s lower resistivity may result in a higher locked-rotor current. This can be mitigated by modifying
the geometry of the rotor slots to keep locked-rotor current within NEMA Design B limits.
Increasing the cross-sectional area of the rotor conductor bars can also improve motor efficiency.
Resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the material through which current is
flowing. By increasing the cross-sectional area, rotor bar resistance will decrease which may reduce rotor
I2R losses. Similarly, increasing the cross-sectional area of the rotor end rings can also reduce rotor I2R
losses. Current flows through the end rings of the rotor and increasing the size of the end ring may
decrease resistance and reduce the associated rotor I2R losses. These two techniques can result in reduced
rotor I2R losses if the increase in rotor current does not exceed the square of the decrease in the rotor
resistance.
Technology Options for Core Losses
Core losses are losses created in the electrical steel components of a motor. These losses, like I2R
losses, manifest themselves as heat. Core losses are generated in the steel by two electromagnetic
phenomena: hysteresis losses and eddy currents. Hysteresis losses are caused by magnetic domains in the
3-10
steel resisting reorientation to the alternating magnetic field. Eddy currents are currents that are induced in
the steel laminations by the magnetic flux.
One technique for reducing core losses is using a higher grade of electrical steel in the core.
Higher grades of steel exhibit lower core losses as well as higher magnetic permeability. In general,
higher grades of electrical steel exhibit lower core losses. Lower core losses can be achieved by adding
silicon and other elements to the steel, thereby increasing its electrical resistivity. Lower core losses can
also be achieved by subjecting the steel to special heat treatments during processing.
In studying the different types of steel available, DOE considered two types of materials:
conventional silicon steels, and “exotic” steels, which contain a relatively high percentage of boron or
cobalt. Conventional steels are commonly used in electric motors manufactured today. The exotic steels
are not generally manufactured for use specifically in the electric motors covered in this rulemaking.
These steels offer lower core losses than the best conventional electrical steels but are more expensive per
pound. In addition, these steels can present manufacturing challenges because they come in nonstandard
thicknesses that are difficult to manufacture.
Conventional steels are commonly used in electric motors manufactured today. There are three
types of steel that DOE considers “conventional:” cold-rolled magnetic laminations (CRML), fully
processed non-oriented electrical steel, and semi-processed non-oriented electrical steel. Each steel type is
sold in a range of grades. In general, as the grade number goes down, so does the amount of core loss
associated with the steel (i.e., watts of loss per pound of steel). The induction saturation level also drops,
causing the need for increased stack length. Of these three types, CRML steels are the most commonly
used, but also the least efficient. The fully processed steels are annealed before punching and therefore do
not require annealing after being punched and assembled, and are available in a range of steel grades from
M56 through M15. Semi-processed electrical steels are designed for annealing after punching and
assembly.
Another possible option for reducing core loss is to use thinner laminations. Thinner laminations
generally have lower eddy current losses and this contributes toward improving motor efficiency.
Adding electrical steel laminations to the rotor and stator to lengthen the motor can also reduce
the core losses in an electric motor. Increasing the stack length reduces the magnetic flux density, which
reduces core losses. However, increasing the stack length affects other performance attributes of the
motor, such as starting torque.
Amorphous Metal Laminations
Using amorphous metals in the rotor laminations is another technology option to improve the
efficiency of electric motors. Amorphous metal is extremely thin, has high electrical resistivity, and has
little or no magnetic domain definition. Because of amorphous steel’s high resistance it exhibits a
reduction in hysteresis and eddy current losses, which reduce overall losses in electric motors. However,
amorphous steel is a very brittle material which makes it difficult to punch into motor laminations.
3-11
Plastic Bonded Iron Powder
DOE is aware of a technology that Lund University researchers in Sweden developed in the
production of magnetic components for electric motors from plastic bonded iron powder (PBIP). The
technique has the potential to cut production costs by 50 percent while doubling motor output.
The method uses two main ingredients: metal powder and plastics. Combining the ingredients
creates a material with low conductivity and high permeability. The metal particles are surrounded by an
insulating plastic, which prevents electric current from developing in the material. This is critical because
it essentially eliminates losses in the core due to eddy currents. Properties of PBIP can differ depending
on the processing. If the metal particles are too closely compacted and begin to touch, the material will
gain electrical conductivity, counteracting one of its most important features.
Another advantage of PBIP is a reduction in the number of production steps. A second way to
increase savings is to build an inductor with PBIP. During processing, the plastic and metal are molded
together using a centrifugal force. During this process, the inductor core consisting of PBIP and prewound windings are baked into the core. This inductor is then used as a filter for grid power application.
The filter then reduces the use of cooling equipment in the motor design.
Technology Options for Friction and Windage Losses
Friction and windage losses are caused by friction in the bearings of the motor and aerodynamic
losses associated with the ventilation fan and other rotating parts. One way to reduce these losses is to
optimize the selection of bearings and a lubricant. Using improved bearings and lubricants can minimize
mechanical resistance to the rotation of the rotor, which also extends motor life. Optimizing a motor’s
cooling system is another technology option to improve the efficiency of electric motors. An optimized
cooling system design provides ample motor cooling while reducing air resistance.
Technology Options for Stray-Load Losses
Stray-load loss is defined as the difference between the total motor loss and the sum of the other
four losses referred to above. Stray-load losses arise from a variety of sources. One way to reduce strayload losses is to reduce the skew in the rotor squirrel cage. The rotor conductor bars of the rotor cage are
often skewed. This means the conductor bars are slightly offset from one end of the rotor to the other. By
skewing the rotor bars, motor designers can reduce harmonics that add cusps to the speed-torque
characteristics of the motor. The cusps in the speed-torque curves mean that the acceleration of the motor
will not be completely smooth. The degree of skew matters because reducing the skew will help reduce
the rotor resistance and reactance, which can result in improved efficiency. However, reducing the skew
may have adverse impacts on the speed-torque characteristics. Another way to reduce stray-load losses is
to improve insulation between the rotor squirrel-cage and the rotor laminations. Motors with insulated
rotor cages often exhibit lower stray-load losses when compared to motors with un-insulated rotor cages.
Manufacturers use different methods to insulate rotor cages, such as applying an insulating coating on the
rotor slot prior to die-casting or heating and quenching the rotor (i.e. rapid cooling, generally by
3-12
immersion in a fluid instead of allowing the rotor temperature to equalize to ambient) to separate rotor
bars from rotor laminations after die-casting.
Summary of Technology Options under Consideration
Table 3.3.1 summarizes the technology options discussed in this TSD technology assessment and
those that DOE will consider in the screening analysis (see TSD chapter 4). The options that pass all four
screening criteria are considered “design options” and are used in the engineering analysis (see TSD
chapter 5) as a means of improving the efficiency of electric motors.

Most of the design changes in Table 3.3.1 produce interacting effects on the motor’s breakdown
torque, locked-rotor torque, locked-rotor current, and so forth. Therefore, motor designers making a
specific design change must evaluate the effects against all of a motor’s performance characteristics and
not just focus on efficiency.

CHAPTER 4. SCREENING ANALYSIS
4.1
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the screening analysis is to identify design options that improve electric motor
efficiency and determine which options the Department of Energy (DOE) will either evaluate or screen
out. DOE consults with industry participants, technical experts, and other interested parties in developing
a list of design options for consideration. Then DOE applies the following set of screening criteria to
determine which design options are unsuitable for further consideration in the rulemaking (See Title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 430, Subpart C, Appendix A at 4(a)(4) and 5(b)):
(1) Technological feasibility: Technologies incorporated in commercial equipment or in working
prototypes will be considered technologically feasible.
(2) Practicability to manufacture, install, and service: If mass production of a technology in
commercial equipment and reliable installation and servicing of the technology could be achieved on the
scale necessary to serve the relevant market at the time of the effective date of the standard, then DOE
will consider that technology practicable to manufacture, install, and service.
(3) Adverse impacts on equipment utility or equipment availability: DOE will not further consider
a technology if DOE determines that a technology will have significant adverse impact on the utility of
the equipment to significant subgroups of consumers. DOE will also not further consider a technology
that will result in the unavailability of any covered equipment type with performance characteristics
(including reliability), features, sizes, capacities, and volumes that are substantially the same as
equipment generally available in the United States at the time.
(4) Adverse impacts on health or safety: DOE will not further consider a technology if DOE
determines that the technology will have significant adverse impacts on health or safety.
This chapter discusses the design options that DOE considered for improving the energy
efficiency of electric motors and describes how DOE applied the screening criteria.
4.2
DISCUSSION OF DESIGN OPTIONS
Several well-established engineering practices and techniques exist for improving the efficiency
of an electric motor. Improving the construction materials (i.e., the core steel, the rotor conductor
material) and modifying the motor’s geometric configuration (i.e., the core and winding assemblies, the
rotor, and stator) can make an electric motor more energy efficient.
As discussed in the market and technology assessment (chapter 3), there are four general areas of
efficiency loss in electric motors: I2R, core, friction and windage, and stray-load. In this analysis DOE
4-1
presented a list of technology options used to reduce energy consumption and thus improve the efficiency
of general purpose induction motors. Unfortunately, methods of reducing electrical losses in the
equipment are not completely independent of one another. This means that some technology options that
decrease one type of loss may cause an increase in a different type of loss in the motor. Thus, it requires
significant engineering skill to maximize the efficiency gains in a motor design overall, balancing out the
loss mechanisms. In some instances, motor design engineers must make design tradeoffs to maintain
utility when finding the appropriate combination of materials and costs. However, there are multiple
design pathways to achieve a given efficiency level.
I2R losses arise chiefly from the current flow through the windings in the stator (stator I2R losses)
and the squirrel cage of the rotor (rotor I2R losses). These losses are manifested as heat, which can reduce
the service life of a motor. Core losses are the losses created in the electrical steel components of a motor.
These losses, like I2R losses, manifest themselves as heat. Core losses are generated in the steel by two
electromagnetic phenomena: hysteresis losses and eddy currents. Hysteresis losses are caused by
magnetic domains in the steel resisting reorientation to the alternating magnetic field. Eddy currents are
currents that are induced in the steel laminations by the magnetic flux. Although I2R and core losses
account for the majority of the losses in an induction motor, friction and windage losses and stray-load
losses also contribute to the total loss. In an induction motor, friction and windage losses are caused by
friction in the bearings of the motor and aerodynamic losses associated with the ventilation fan and other
rotating parts. Any losses that are otherwise unaccounted for and not attributed to I2R losses, core losses,
or friction and windage losses are considered stray-load losses.
Table 4.2.1 presents a general summary of the methods that a manufacturer may use to reduce
losses in electric motors. The approaches presented in this table refer either to specific technologies (e.g.,
aluminum versus copper die-cast rotor cages, different grades of electrical steel) or physical changes to
the motor geometries (e.g., cross-sectional area of rotor conductor bars, additional stack length).

TECHNOLOGY OPTIONS NOT SCREENED OUT OF THE ANALYSIS
This section discusses the technology options that DOE considers viable means of improving the
efficiency of electric motors.
Increase the Cross-Sectional Area of Copper in Stator Slots
Increasing the cross-sectional area of copper in the stator slots, by either increasing the slot fill
percentage and/or increasing the size of the stator slots, can increase motor efficiency. Motor design
engineers can achieve higher slot fills by manipulating the wire gauges to allow for a greater total crosssectional area of wire to be incorporated into the stator slots. This could mean either an increase or
decrease in wire gauge, depending on the dimensions of the stator slots and insulation thicknesses. Motor
design engineers may also consider increasing the size of the stator slots to accommodate additional
copper windings. However, this method replaces some of the stator magnetic cross-sectional area and
increases the flux density in the stator. Increasing the flux density may increase core losses. Furthermore,
there are practical limits to how much slot fill can be increased. The stator slot openings must be able to
fit the wires so that automated machinery or manual labor can pull (or push) the wire into the stator slots.
Very high slot fills may require hand winding, a manufacturing technique that is far more labor intensive
than machine winding. The motor designer must carefully weigh the trade-offs to optimize the motor
design.
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE did not screen out with
increasing the cross-sectional area of copper in the stator as a means of improving efficiency. Motor
design engineers adjust this technology option when manufacturing an electric motor to achieve desired
performance and efficiency targets. Because this design technique is in commercial use today, DOE
considers this technology option both technologically feasible and practicable to manufacture, install, and
service. DOE is not aware of any adverse impacts on consumer utility, reliability, health, or safety
associated with increasing the cross-sectional area of copper in the stator to obtain increased efficiency.
Decrease the Length of Coil Extensions
One method of reducing resistance losses in the stator is decreasing the length of the coil
extensions at the end turns. Reducing the length of copper wire in the stator slots not only reduces the
resistive losses, but also reduces the material cost of the electric motor because less copper is being used.
4-3
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE did not screen out
decreasing the length of the coil extensions as a means of improving efficiency. Motor design engineers
adjust this particular variable when manufacturing to obtain performance and efficiency targets. Because
this design technique is in commercial use today, DOE considers this technology option both
technologically feasible and practicable to manufacture, install, and service. DOE is not aware of any
adverse impacts on consumer utility, reliability, health, or safety associated with decreasing the length of
coil extensions to obtain increased efficiency.
Copper Die-Cast Rotor Cage
Aluminum is the most common material used today to create die-cast rotor bars in electric
motors. Some manufacturers that focus on producing high-efficiency designs have started to offer electric
motors with die-cast rotor bars made of copper. Copper offers better performance than aluminum because
copper has a higher electrical conductivity (i.e., a lower electrical resistance) per unit area. However,
copper has a higher melting point than aluminum, so the casting process becomes more difficult and is
likely to increase both production time and cost for manufacturing a motor.
When assessing the technological feasibility of die-cast rotors, DOE notes that electric motors
incorporating this technology option are already commercially available. DOE is aware of two large
manufacturers — Siemens and SEW-Eurodrive — that offer die-cast copper rotor motors up to 30horsepower. At larger horsepower ratings, DOE recognizes that assessing the technological feasibility of
die-cast rotors is made more complex by the fact that manufacturers do not offer them commercially. That
could be for a variety of reasons, among them:
1) Large copper die-cast rotors are physically impossible to construct;
2) They are possible to construct, but impossible to construct to required specifications;
3) They are possible to construct to required specifications, but would require high
manufacturing capital investment to do so and be so costly that few (if any) consumers
would choose them.
DOE is hesitant to screen out copper die-cast rotors on the basis of technological feasibility. It has
not seen anything to suggest the advantages associated with copper rotors would vanish beyond a certain
size. Relative to the above list of possible reasons for their absence from the high-horsepower market,
DOE’s analysis does not conclude copper die-cast rotors are either: (1) physically impossible to construct
or (2) possible to construct, but impossible to construct to required specifications.
DOE also does not believe it has grounds to screen out copper die-cast rotors on the basis of
practicability to manufacture, install, and service. The available facts indicate that manufacturers are
already producing electric motors with die-cast copper rotors. At present, DOE does not believe there is
sufficient evidence to screen out copper die-cast rotors from the analysis on the basis of adverse impacts
to equipment utility or availability.
4-4
The higher melting point of copper (1085 degrees Celsius versus 660 degrees Celsius for
aluminum) and could theoretically affect health or safety of plant workers. However, DOE does not
believe at this time that this potential impact is sufficiently adverse to screen out copper as a die cast
material for rotor conductors. The process for die casting copper rotors involves risks similar to those of
die casting aluminum. DOE believes that manufacturers who die-cast metal at 660 Celsius or 1085
Celsius (the respective temperatures required for aluminum and copper) would need to maintain strict
safety protocols in both cases. DOE understands that many plants already work with molten aluminum
die casting processes and believes that similar processes could be adopted for copper. DOE has not
received any supporting data about the increased risks associated with copper die-casting and could not
locate any studies suggesting that the die-casting of copper inherently represented incrementally more
risks to worker safety and health. DOE notes that several OSHA standards relate to the safety of
“Nonferrous Die-Castings, Except Aluminum,” of which die-cast copper is a part. a
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE did not screen out copper
as a die-cast rotor cage conductor material.
Increase Cross-Sectional Area of Rotor Conductor Bars
Increasing the cross-sectional area of the rotor conductor bars can also improve motor efficiency.
Resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the material through which current is
flowing. By increasing the cross-sectional area, rotor bar resistance will decrease which may reduce rotor
I2R losses. This technique can result in reduced rotor I2R losses if the increase in rotor current does not
exceed the square of the decrease in the rotor resistance. However, changing the shape of the rotor bars
may affect the size of the end rings and can also change the torque characteristics of the motor.
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE did not screen out
increasing the cross-sectional area of rotor conductor bars as a means of improving efficiency. Motor
design engineers adjust this particular variable when manufacturing to obtain performance and efficiency
targets. Because this design technique is in commercial use today, DOE considers this technology option
both technologically feasible and practicable to manufacture, install, and service. DOE is not aware of any
adverse impacts on consumer utility, reliability, health, or safety associated with increasing the crosssectional area of rotor conductor bars to obtain increased efficiency.
Increase Cross-Sectional Area of Rotor End Rings
Increasing the cross-sectional area of the rotor end rings can also reduce rotor I2R losses. Current
flows through the end rings of the rotor and increasing the size of the end ring may decrease resistance

and reduce the associated rotor I2R losses. This technique can result in reduced rotor I2R losses if the
increase in rotor current does not exceed the square of the decrease in the rotor resistance.
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE did not screen out
increasing end ring size as a means of improving efficiency. As with some of the previous technology
options, motor design engineers adjust this variable when manufacturing an electric motor to achieve
performance and efficiency targets. Automated production and casting equipment, which allow some
degree of variability, determine the end ring size. Because this design technique is in commercial use
today, DOE considers this technology option both technologically feasible and practicable to
manufacture, install, and service. DOE is not aware of any adverse impacts on consumer utility,
reliability, health, or safety associated with increasing the size of the rotor end rings to obtain increased
efficiency.
Use Electrical Steel with Lower Losses
Using a higher grade of electrical steel in the core can reduce core losses. Higher grades of steel
exhibit lower core losses as well as higher magnetic permeability. Lower core losses can be achieved by
adding silicon and other elements to the steel, thereby increasing its electrical resistivity. Lower core
losses can also be achieved by subjecting the steel to special heat treatments during processing.
In studying the different types of steel available, DOE considered two types of materials:
conventional silicon steels and “exotic” steels, which contain a relatively high percentage of boron or
cobalt. Conventional steels are commonly used in electric motors manufactured today. The exotic steels
are not generally manufactured for use specifically in the electric motors covered in this rulemaking.
These steels offer lower core losses than the best conventional electrical steels but are more expensive per
pound. In addition, these steels can present manufacturing challenges because they come in nonstandard
thicknesses that are difficult to manufacture.
There are three types of steel that DOE considers “conventional”: cold-rolled magnetic
laminations (CRML), fully processed non-oriented electrical steel, and semi-processed non-oriented
electrical steel. Each steel type is sold in a range of grades. In general, as the grade number goes down, so
does the amount of core loss associated with the steel (i.e., watts of loss per pound of steel). The induction
saturation level also drops, necessitating increased stack length. Of these three types, CRML steels are the
most common but generally least efficient. The fully processed steels are annealed before punching and
therefore do not require annealing after being punched and assembled and are available in a range of steel
grades from M56 through M15. Semi-processed electrical steels are designed for annealing after punching
and assembly.
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE did not screen out lower
loss electrical steel in the core as a means of improving efficiency. Design engineers use this approach to
achieve desired performance and efficiency targets. Because this design technique is in commercial use
today, DOE considers this technology option both technologically feasible and practicable to
manufacture, install, and service. DOE is not aware of any adverse impacts on consumer utility,
reliability, health, or safety associated with using lower loss electrical steel.
4-6
Thinner Steel Laminations
DOE can use thinner laminations of core steel to reduce eddy currents. DOE can either change
grades of electrical steel as described above or use a thinner gauge of the same grade of electrical steel.
The magnitude of the eddy currents induced by the magnetic field becomes smaller in thinner
laminations, which can result in a more energy efficient motor.
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE did not screen out thinner
steel laminations as a means of improving efficiency. Design engineers use this approach to achieve
desired improvements in performance and efficiency. Because this design technique is in commercial use
today, DOE considers this technology option both technologically feasible and practicable to
manufacture, install, and service. DOE is not aware of any adverse impacts on consumer utility,
reliability, health, or safety associated with using thinner steel laminations.
Increase Stack Length
Adding electrical steel laminations to the rotor and stator to lengthen the motor can also reduce
the core losses in an electric motor. Increasing the stack length reduces the magnetic flux density, which
generally reduces core losses. However, increasing the stack length affects other performance attributes of
the motor, such as starting torque. Problems can also arise when installing a longer motor in applications
with dimensional constraints.
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE did not screen out
additional stack length as a means of improving efficiency. Design engineers use this approach to achieve
desired improvements in performance and efficiency. Because this design technique is in commercial use
today, DOE considers this technology option technologically feasible. Regarding the second screening
criterion—practicable to manufacture, install, and service— DOE understands that there are practical
limits to lengthening a motor due to dimensional constraints of users. However, DOE recognizes that
many motor applications are not constrained by motor length. Thus, DOE believes that this technology
option meets the second screening criterion. DOE is not aware of any adverse impacts on consumer
utility, reliability, health, or safety associated with increased stack length.
Optimize Bearing and Lubricant Selection
One way to improve efficiency is to optimize the selection of bearings and lubricant. Using
improved bearings and lubricants can minimize mechanical resistance to the rotation of the rotor, which
also extends motor life.
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE did not screen out
optimizing bearing and lubricant selection as a means of improving efficiency. Design engineers use this
approach to achieve desired improvements in performance and efficiency. Because this design technique
is in commercial use today, DOE considers this technology option both technologically feasible and
4-7
practicable to manufacture, install, and service. DOE is not aware of any adverse impacts on consumer
utility, reliability, health, or safety associated with better ball bearings and lubricant.
Improve Cooling System Design
Optimizing a motor’s cooling system is another technology option to improve the efficiency of
electric motors. An optimized cooling system design provides ample motor cooling while reducing air
resistance.
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE did not screen out an
improved cooling system as a means of improving efficiency. Design engineers use this approach to
achieve desired improvements in performance and efficiency. Because this design technique is in
commercial use today, DOE considers this technology option both technologically feasible and
practicable to manufacture, install, and service. DOE is not aware of any adverse impacts on consumer
utility, reliability, health, or safety associated with improved cooling systems for electric motors.
Reduce Skew in Rotor Conductor Cage
One way to reduce stray-load losses is to reduce the skew in the rotor squirrel cage. The rotor
conductor bars of the rotor cage are often skewed. This means the conductor bars are slightly offset from
one end of the rotor to the other. By skewing the rotor bars, motor designers can reduce harmonics that
add cusps to the speed-torque characteristics of the motor. The cusps in the speed-torque curves mean that
the acceleration of the motor will not be completely smooth. The degree of skew matters because
reducing the skew will help reduce the rotor resistance and reactance, which can result in improved
efficiency. However, reducing the skew may have adverse impacts on the speed-torque characteristics.
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE did not screen out
adjusting rotor skew as a means of improving efficiency. Rotor skew is one of the variables that motor
design engineers can manipulate to obtain certain performance and efficiency targets. The rotor skew is a
part of the overall motor design, which is input into automated production equipment that punches and
stacks the steel to create a rotor with the desired skew. Because this design technique is in commercial use
today, DOE considers this technology option both technologically feasible and practicable to
manufacture, install, and service. DOE is not aware of any adverse impacts on consumer utility,
reliability, health, or safety associated with properly manipulating the rotor skew to obtain improved
performance.
4-8
Improved Rotor Bar Insulation
Another way to reduce stray-load losses is to improve insulation between the rotor squirrel-cage
and the rotor laminations. Motors with insulated rotor cages often exhibit lower stray-load losses when
compared to motors with un-insulated rotor cages. Manufacturers use different methods to insulate rotor
cages, such as applying an insulating coating on the rotor slot prior to die-casting or heating and
quenching the rotor (i.e., rapid cooling, generally by immersion in a fluid instead of allowing the rotor
temperature to equalize to the ambient temperature) to separate rotor bars from rotor laminations after
die-casting.
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE did not screen out
improved rotor bar insulation as a means of improving efficiency. Design engineers use this approach to
achieve desired improvements in performance and efficiency. Because this design technique is in
commercial use today, DOE considers this technology option both technologically feasible and
practicable to manufacture, install, and service. DOE is not aware of any adverse impacts on consumer
utility, reliability, health, or safety associated with improved rotor bar insulation.
Summary of Technology Options Not Screened Out
Every design option presented in Table 4.1 was not screened out of this preliminary analysis.
4.4
TECHNOLOGY OPTIONS SCREENED OUT OF THE ANALYSIS
DOE screened out the following design options from further consideration because they do not
meet the screening criteria.
Amorphous Metal Laminations
Using amorphous metals in the rotor laminations is another technology option to improve the
efficiency of electric motors. Amorphous metal is extremely thin, has high electrical resistivity, and has
little or no magnetic domain definition. Because of amorphous steel’s high resistance, it exhibits a
reduction in hysteresis and eddy current losses, which reduce overall losses in electric motors. However,
amorphous steel is a very brittle material which makes it difficult to punch into motor laminations. 1
Amorphous steel may also be less structurally stiff, requiring additional mechanical support to implement.
Finally, amorphous steel may entail greater acoustic noise levels, which may be unsuitable for some
applications or require design compromises to mitigate. DOE is unaware of use of amorphous metal in
motors commercially to any significant degree.
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE screened out amorphous
metal laminations as a means of improving efficiency. Although amorphous metals have the potential to
improve efficiency, DOE does not consider this technology option technologically feasible, because it has
not been incorporated into a working prototype of an electric motor. Furthermore, DOE is uncertain
whether amorphous metals are practicable to manufacture, install, and service, because a prototype
4-9
amorphous metal electric motor has not been made and little information is available on the ability to
manufacture this technology to make a judgment. DOE is not aware of any adverse impacts on consumer
utility, reliability, health, or safety associated with amorphous metal laminations.
Plastic Bonded Iron Powder
Plastic bonded iron powder (PBIP) could cut production costs while increasing the output of
electric motors. Although other researchers may be working on this technology option, DOE is aware of a
research team at Lund University in Sweden that published a paper about PBIP. This technology option is
based on an iron powder alloy that is suspended in plastic and is used in certain motor applications such
as fans, pumps, and household appliances.2 The compound is then shaped into motor components using a
centrifugal mold, reducing the number of manufacturing steps. Researchers claim that this technology
option could cut losses by as much as 50 percent. The Lund University team already produces inductors,
transformers, and induction heating coils using PBIP, but has not yet produced an electric motor. In
addition, it appears that PBIP technology is aimed at torus, claw-pole, and transversal flux motors, none
of which fall under DOE’s scope of analysis as defined by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as
amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act.
Considering the four screening criteria for this technology option, DOE screened out PBIP as a
means of improving efficiency. Although PBIP has the potential to improve efficiency while reducing
manufacturing costs, DOE does not consider this technology option technologically feasible, because it
has not been incorporated into a working prototype of an electric motor. Also, DOE is uncertain whether
the material has the structural integrity to form into the necessary shape of an electric motor steel frame.
Furthermore, DOE is uncertain whether PBIP is practicable to manufacture, install, and service, because a
prototype PBIP electric motor has not been made and little information is available on the ability to
manufacture this technology to make a judgment. However, DOE is not aware of any adverse impacts on
equipment utility, equipment availability, health, or safety that may arise from the use of PBIP in electric
motors.

CHAPTER 5. ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
5.1
INTRODUCTION
The engineering analysis estimates the increase in manufacturer selling price (MSP)
associated with technological design changes that improve the efficiency of an electric motor.
This chapter presents the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) assumptions, methodology and
findings for the electric motor engineering analysis. The output from the engineering analysis is
a “cost-efficiency” relationship for each electric motor analyzed which describes how its cost
changes as efficiency increases. The output of the engineering analysis is used as an input to the
life-cycle cost analysis (Technical Support Document (TSD) chapter 8) and the national impact
analysis (TSD chapter 10). The engineering analysis takes input from the market and technology
assessment (see TSD chapter 3) and the screening analysis (see TSD chapter 4). These inputs
include equipment classes, baseline electric motor performance, methods for improving
efficiency, and design options that have passed the screening criteria. The engineering analysis
uses these inputs, coupled with material price estimates, design parameters, and other
manufacturer inputs to develop the relationship between the MSP and nominal full-load
efficiency of the representative electric motors studied.
At its most basic level, the output of the engineering analysis is a curve that estimates the
MSP for a range of efficiency values. This output is subsequently marked-up to determine the
end-user prices based on the various distribution channels (see TSD chapter 6). After
determining customer prices by applying distribution chain markups, sales tax, and contractor
markups, the data is combined with the energy-use and end-use load characterization (see TSD
chapter 7) and used as a critical input to the customer’s life-cycle cost and payback period
analysis (see TSD chapter 8).
5.2
EQUIPMENT CLASSES AND REPRESENTATIVE UNITS
Scope: 10 CFR 431.25
Electric motors currently in scope at 10 CFR 431.25 are divided into different equipment
classes categorized by physical characteristics that affect equipment efficiency. Key physical
characteristics are: (1) horsepower output, (2) pole configuration, (3) enclosure, and (4) motor
design type (e.g., NEMA Design A or B).
Because it is impractical to conduct detailed engineering analysis at every hp rating, DOE
conducts detailed modeling on 5 “representative units” (“RUs”). These RUs are selected both to
represent the more common designs found in the market and to include a variety of design
specifications to enable generalization of the results. The representative units do not map to
equipment classes 1:1. RUs used in the May 2014 Standards Final Rule are unchanged. 79 FR
30934, 30966. These representative units are listed in Table 5.2.1.

Scope: Expanded
For electric motors that meet the criteria listed at 10 CFR 431.25(g) but are excluded on
the basis of being an air-over motor according to 10 CFR 431.25(l)(1), DOE used 3 RUs to
represent these proposed equipment classes. These RUs were similar to the 3 RUs of ECG 1 in
all characteristics except enclosure, which were all air-over instead of TEFC.

For electric motors that do not meet the criteria listed at 10 CFR 431.25(g) but are
included in the prosed expanded scope, DOE chose 24 RUs to represent these equipment classes.
The proposed equipment classes are categorized by physical characteristics that affect equipment
efficiency. Key physical characteristics for these motors are: (1) horsepower output, (2) pole
configuration, (3) enclosure, (4) phases of input power, and (5), locked-rotor torque.
For SNEMs, DOE split these motors into equipment class groups based on locked rotor
torque since these motors do not use the same NEMA Design A, B, or C designations that other
motors in the scope of this rule do, and certain applications require a certain locked rotor torque
to operate. SNEMs were split into three equipment class groups: high locked rotor torque,
medium locked rotor torque, and low locked rotor torque. Each equipment class group was filled
by specific motor topologies because of the different torque-speed curves associated with each
topology. Within each equipment class group, SNEMs were further split based on if external
cooling was needed for continuous operation or not. SNEMs that do not need external cooling
are referred to here as SNEMs and those that do need external cooling are referred to as ‘Airover’ (“AO”). The grouping of topologies is shown in Table 5.2.3. The RUs selected for each
equipment class group is shown in tables Table 5.2.4 and Table 5.2.5.

EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS
DOE typically uses one of two approaches to develop energy efficiency levels for the
engineering analysis: (1) relying on observed efficiency levels in the market (i.e., the efficiencylevel approach), or (2) determining the incremental efficiency improvements associated with
5-3
incorporating specific design options to a baseline model (i.e., the design-option approach).
Using the efficiency-level approach, the efficiency levels established for the analysis are
determined based on the market distribution of existing products (in other words, based on the
range of efficiencies and efficiency level “clusters” that already exist on the market). Using the
design option approach, the efficiency levels established for the analysis are determined through
detailed engineering calculations and/or computer simulations of the efficiency improvements
from implementing specific design options that have been identified in the technology
assessment. DOE may also rely on a combination of these two approaches. For example, the
efficiency-level approach (based on actual products on the market) may be extended using the
design option approach to interpolate to define “gap fill” levels (to bridge large gaps between
other identified efficiency levels) and/or to extrapolate to the max-tech level (particularly in
cases where the max-tech level exceeds the maximum efficiency level currently available on the
market).
Baseline and Higher Efficiency Levels
To perform engineering analysis, DOE generally selects a baseline model as a reference
point for each equipment class, and measures changes resulting from potential energy
conservation standards against the baseline. The baseline model in each equipment class
represents the characteristics of an equipment typical of that class (e.g., capacity). Generally, a
baseline model is one that just meets current energy conservation standards, or, if no standards
are in place, the baseline is typically the most common or least efficient unit on the market.
Table 5.3.1 lists baseline efficiency values for each representative unit.

With baseline established, DOE selects functionally similar units at higher efficiency
levels within the equipment class. These higher-efficiency units are selected to, as much as
possible, maintain the important attributes of the baseline unit and vary mostly in cost and
efficiency. By subtracting the cost of a higher-efficiency unit from the cost of a baseline unit,
DOE estimates the incremental purchase cost to an electric motor buyer. Table 5.3.2 lists all ELs
by representative unit. As a note, efficiency level 0 (“EL0”) is synonymous with “baseline” for
all representative units in this preliminary analysis.

To establish ELs higher than baseline, DOE used different approaches based on ECG.
For ECGs 1 and 2, DOE started at the baseline and each EL above baseline incremented one
NEMA band1 higher in efficiency than the previous EL. Each NEMA band represents a 10%
reduction in losses from the level below it. In instances where the max-tech level was less than
four NEMA bands above baseline, the next highest efficiency is repeated to allow for analysis of
all ELs across ECs. For ECG 3, DOE started at the baseline and made EL1 equivalent in
efficiency to EL0 of ECG 1, ELs 2 and 3 were each one NEMA band higher than the previous
ELs, and EL 4 is equivalent in efficiency to EL4 of ECG 1.
DOE notes that all TSLs of the current rule will be evaluated for cost-effectiveness, and
that there are levels analyzed in this rule that are above NEMA Premium efficiency levels. DOE
is using motor performance modeling for each representative unit to determine the maximum
efficiency level that is technologically feasible while remaining within NEMA Design B
performance constraints as defined in NEMA MG-1 2016 Sections 12.35.1, 12.38, 12.39, and
12.40.
Scope: Expanded
With no energy conservation standards in place, DOE selected a baseline for SNEM
equipment classes based on a modified version of the current small electric motors (“SEM”)
energy conservation standards located at 10 CFR 431.446. DOE created a function of motor
losses vs. HP of the current SEM standards and then increased the losses based on the listed
efficiency of motors in each equipment class group. For single-phase high LRT, the baseline was
an 81% in losses compared to the SEM standard. For medium LRT the baseline was a 25%
increase in losses and for low LRT the baseline was a 96% increase in losses, except at .25
horsepower where shaded-pole motors were readily available, which had a baseline that was a
157% increase in losses compared to the SEM standard. For polyphase SNEMs the baseline was
a 38% increase in losses compared to the SEM standard. Table 5.3.3 contains the baseline
efficiency for each SNEM representative unit.

For efficiency levels higher than baseline, DOE used different methods based on
equipment class group. For single-phase high LRT, EL1 represents a 12.5% reduction in loss
from the baseline efficiency and EL2 approximated the current SEM standards. For medium
LRT, EL1 was a 15% decrease in loss from baseline and EL2 was a 22.5% decrease in loss from
baseline. For low LRT, EL1 was a repeat of EL0 for every equipment class except .25 HP where
shaded-pole motors are prevalent. This repeat in EL was chosen to simplify the structure of the
eventual LCC and NIA analyses. EL2 was a 38% reduction in losses from the previous EL, and
EL3 approximated the SEM standard. For polyphase SNEMs, EL1 was 12.5% decrease in loss
from baseline, EL2 an 18.5% decrease in loss from baseline, EL3 an approximation of current
SEM standards, and EL4 was a 20% decrease in losses from the SEM standard.

To analyze air-over motors, DOE used a modified version of each representative unit for
both SNEMs and equipment classes with standards at 10 CFR 431.25. First, DOE performed
motor efficiency testing on five SNEMs according to the test procedure proposed in the
December 2021 TP NOPR. Then, the internal fans were removed and the motor was tested
according to the air-over test procedure proposed in the December 2021 TP NOPR. DOE then
5-6
analyzed the measured efficiency difference in the two tests and plotted a function of fan loss as
a percent of total losses vs. rated horsepower. Using this function, DOE created a theoretical airover version of each of the representative units. For SNEMs, this resulted in higher measured
efficiencies for each representative unit. DOE notes that this increase in efficiency between an
air-over and a non-air over motor may not always result in energy savings to the end-user
because in many cases a fan is still being driven by the motor even if the energy required to drive
it is not measured by the test procedure. For the air-over versions of motors currently in the
scope of 10 CFR 431.25, the nominal efficiency of each unit is the same as the non-air-over
versions because the fan losses were never more than 10% of the total losses that a NEMA band
represents. Table 5.3.5 shows the efficiency of each air-over SNEM representative unit. Table
5.3.6 shows the efficiency of each air-over version of motors currently in scope at 10 CFR
431.25.

COST MODEL
The cost analysis portion of the Engineering Analysis is conducted using one or a
combination of cost approaches. The selection of cost approach depends on a suite of factors,
including the availability and reliability of public information, characteristics of the regulated
product, availability, and timeliness of purchasing the equipment on the market. The cost
approaches are summarized as follows:
5-7
•
Physical teardowns: Under this approach, DOE physically dismantles a
commercially available product, component-by-component, to develop a detailed
bill of materials for the product.
•
Catalog teardowns: In lieu of physically deconstructing a product, DOE identifies
each component using parts diagrams (available from manufacturer websites or
appliance repair websites, for example) to develop the bill of materials for the
product.
•
Price surveys: If neither a physical nor catalog teardown is feasible (for example,
for tightly integrated products such as fluorescent lamps, which are infeasible to
disassemble and for which parts diagrams are unavailable) or cost-prohibitive and
otherwise impractical (e.g., large commercial boilers), DOE conducts price
surveys using publicly available pricing data published on major online retailer
websites and/or by soliciting prices from distributors and other commercial
channels.
Two Distinct Engineering Approaches
To determine the MSP of a given representative unit DOE utilized two different
approaches. For representative units subject to energy conservation standards 10 CFR 431.25(g),
DOE performed motor efficiency tests and motor teardowns that informed a motor performance
model. For representative units not currently in scope at 10 CFR 431.25, DOE used a retail-based
analysis. This retail analysis combined catalog data across six manufacturers and aggregated the
results to estimate the average MPC for a given representative unit efficiency and horsepower.
DOE utilized a retail-based analysis for the expanded scope since it was the most accessible
source of information but for the NOPR, DOE will consider adding a test and teardown approach
to determine the MSP of these new representative units.
General Methodology
To derive the production and material costs of each EL, DOE used a combination of
teardowns, software modeling, and retail price data. DOE performed a motor efficiency test and
extensive teardown on one model for each representative unit in ECG 1 and the results of this
performance test and teardown were used to inform the software modelled designs. Coupling
these two approaches allowed DOE to analyze ELs that were theoretically possible but not
available on the market.
Teardowns
Due to limited manufacturer feedback concerning cost data and production costs, DOE
derived its production and material costs by having a professional motor laboratory disassemble
and inventory the physical electric motors purchased. DOE performed teardowns on three
electric motors that were advertised as having higher efficiency than EL0 for equipment class
group 1. These teardowns provided DOE the necessary data to construct a bill of materials,
5-8
which DOE could normalize using a standard cost model and markup to produce a projected
manufacturer selling price (MSP). DOE used the MSP derived from the engineering tear-down
paired with the corresponding nameplate nominal efficiency to report the relative costs of
achieving improvements in energy efficiency. DOE derived material prices from a consensus of
current, publicly available data, manufacturer feedback, and conversations with its subject matter
experts. DOE supplemented the findings from its tests and teardowns through: (1) a review of
data collected from manufacturers about prices, efficiencies, and other features of various models
of electric motors, and (2) interviews with manufacturers about the techniques and associated
costs used to improve efficiency.
DOE’s engineering analysis documents the design changes and associated costs when
improving electric motor efficiency from the baseline level up to a max-tech level. This includes
considering improved electrical steel for the stator and rotor, using die-cast copper rotors,
increasing stack length, and any other applicable design options remaining after the screening
analysis. As each of these design options are added, the manufacturer’s cost generally increases
and the electric motor’s efficiency improves.
Software Modeling
DOE worked with technical experts to develop the highest efficiency levels (i.e., the
max-tech levels) technologically feasible for each representative unit analyzed. DOE used a
combination of electric motor software design programs and SME input. DOE retained an
electric motor expert with design experience and software, who prepared a set of designs with
increasing efficiency. The SME also checked his designs against tear-down data and calibrated
his software using the relevant test results. As new designs were created, careful attention was
paid to the required performance characteristics of NEMA Design B as defined in NEMA MG 12016 Tables 12-2, 12-3, 12-4, and paragraph 12.35.1, which define locked-rotor torque,
breakdown torque, pull-up torque and maximum locked-rotor currents, respectively. This was
done to ensure that the utility of the baseline unit was conserved as efficiency was improved
through the application of various design options. Additionally, DOE limited its modeled stack
length increases based on tear-down data and the maximum “C” dimensions found in
manufacturer’s catalogs.
DOE limited the amount by which it would increase the stack length of its softwaremodeled electric motors to preserve the utility of the baseline model torn down. The maximum
stack lengths used in the software-modeled ELs were determined by first analyzing the stack
lengths and “C” dimensions of torn-down electric motors. Then, DOE analyzed the “C”
dimensions of various electric motors in the marketplace conforming to the same design
constraints as the representative units (same NEMA design letter, horsepower rating, NEMA
frame series, enclosure type, and pole configuration). For each representative unit, DOE found
the largest “C” dimension currently available on the marketplace and estimated a maximum
stack length based on the stack length to “C” dimension ratios of motors it tore down. The
resulting product was the value that DOE chose to use as the maximum stack length in its
software modeled designs. Table 5.4.1 shows the estimated maximum stack length that was used
as an upper bound in the software modeled ELs. Table 5.4.2 shows the stack length and
efficiency of each modeled design.

Retail Price Analysis
For SNEMs, DOE harvested price data from six motor manufacturers and used it to
derive the MSP of each RU. First, DOE began by finding the average correlation of
manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) and retail price of a given motor. Once that was
found for each of the six manufacturers in the data set, DOE then filtered the catalog data to
match each representative unit in horsepower, LRT, pole, and enclosure. Further characteristics
including duty cycle, purpose (i.e., general vs. dedicated), and input voltage were used to further
narrow the selection criteria. Once this similar group of motors was found it was filtered by
efficiency and the MSP of each EL was found by taking the average MSP of motors within that
EL.
5-10
DOE notes that this retail data was recorded in 2017 and will likely not be the basis of the
analysis presented in the NOPR of this rule, but that the 2017 prices were adjusted for inflation
and were analyzed in 2020 dollars.
Constructing a Bill of Materials
The bill of material (BOM) calculated for each design contained four types of material
costs: conductors, electrical steel, insulation, and hardware. In the May 2014 Final Rule, DOE
used a fixed cost depending on horsepower for components like insulation and frame hardware.
In this preliminary analysis, DOE opted to breakdown these components so that every
component in the BOM could vary depending on EL.
Each item in the BOM is organized by the type of cost (i.e., variable, insulation, and
hardware) and the component of the electric motor to which they apply. The variable costs
portion of the BOM includes the following subheadings, each with an itemized parts list: stator
assembly, rotor assembly, and other major costs.
The subheadings that have an itemized list of components include the stator assembly,
rotor assembly, and other major costs. The stator assembly’s itemized lists include prices for
steel laminations and copper wire. The rotor assembly portion of the BOM includes prices for
laminations, rotor conductor material, (either aluminum or copper) and shaft extension material.
The other major costs heading contains items for the frame material and base, terminal housing
components, bearing-type, and end-shield material.
Conductor Prices
Aluminum and copper are the materials used as conductors. The prices of aluminum and
copper conductor are strongly correlated to the price of the underlying commodities, which are
tracked in various public indices.
In this preliminary analysis, DOE used a combination of cost extrapolation from the
public indexes and calibrated the data based on information received in manufacturer interviews.
Further, DOE assumed that the 10 percent aluminum tariff would be partially offset by, e.g.,
changes in sourcing, suppliers’ absorbing some cost, and reduced demand for aluminum
throughout the market. Therefore, in the base-case price scenario, DOE assumed a price increase
of 7.5 percent as a result of aluminum tariffs. DOE also included price sensitivity scenarios in the
engineering analysis, which include modeling of a market without tariffs on aluminum.

Electrical Steel Prices
The other major material cost in electric motors are the electrical steels used in the stator
and rotor laminations. In general, the electrical steels with lower core loss per unit weight cost
more than their higher loss counterparts. DOE used a mixture of publicly available price data and
feedback from manufacturer interviews to estimate the cost of each electrical steel. For some
newer steels such as 35H210 where price data was unavailable, the price was estimated by
extrapolating the relationship of core loss vs. price based on the general electrical steel market.

Labor Costs
Due to the varying degree of automation used in manufacturing electric motors, labor
costs differ for each representative unit. DOE analyzed teardown results to determine which
electric motors were machine wound and which electric motors were hand wound and based on
this analysis, DOE applied a higher labor hour amount for the hand-wound electric motors. For
the max-tech software modeled electric motors, DOE always assumed hand-winding and
5-13
therefore a higher labor hour amount. Labor hours for each of the representative units were based
on SME input and manufacturer interviews.
DOE used the same hourly labor rate for all electric motors analyzed. The base hourly
rate was developed from the 2007 Economic Census of Industry, published by the U.S. Census
Bureau, as well as manufacturer and SME input.2 The base hourly rate is an aggregate rate of a
foreign labor rate and a domestic labor rate. DOE weighed the foreign labor rate more than the
domestic labor rate due to manufacturer feedback indicating off-shore production accounts for a
majority of electric motor production by American-based companies. Several markups were
applied to this hourly rate to obtain a fully burdened rate which is representative of the labor
costs associated with manufacturing electric motors. Table 5.4.6 shows the markups that were
applied, their corresponding markup percentage, and the new burdened labor rate.

DOE used the three markups described below to account for non-production costs that
are part of each electric motor leaving a manufacturer’s facility. Handling and scrap factor,
overhead, and non-production markups will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer because
their profit margins, overheads, prices paid for goods, and business structures vary. DOE
prepared estimates for these three non-production cost manufacturer markups from Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10K annual reports, and conversations with
manufacturers and experts.
Markups
Factory Overhead
Factory overhead: 15 percent markup. Factory overhead includes all the indirect costs
associated with production, indirect materials and energy use, taxes, and insurance. DOE applies
factory overhead to the sum of direct material production costs (including the handling and scrap
factor) and the direct labor costs. The overhead increases to 20 percent when copper die-casting
The Economic Census of Industry data is used to inform how markup percentages are applied but is not the
primary source of labor rate date for electric motor manufacturing, which was obtained primarily through interviews
with manufacturers of electric motors. DOE is considering using the 2017 Economic Census of Industry for
potential future rulemaking stages.

5-14
is used in the rotor. This accounts for additional energy, insurance, and other indirect costs
associated with the copper die-casting process.
Scrap Factor
Handling and scrap factor: 2.5 percent markup. This markup was applied to the direct
material production costs of each electric motor. It accounts for the handling of material (loading
into assembly or winding equipment) and the scrap material that cannot be used in the
production of a finished electric motor (e.g., lengths of wire too short to wind).
Conversion Costs
DOE understands that even without new conservation standards, manufacturers will be
expending resources on research and development, capital equipment replacement, and testing
and certification for new products in the normal course of their day-to-day business operations.
However, DOE also realizes that some of the conservation standards under consideration may
require significant levels of investment, in time and dollars, by manufacturers above and beyond
their typical operational levels. To account for the additional investments that manufacturers will
have to make to reach certain ELs, DOE included a conversion cost adder in the cost model.
The conversion cost adder was only applied to designs that use thinner steels than what is
currently used in most motors for the stator and rotor laminations and thus would require
retooling the die-stamping portion of the manufacturing line.3 For designs that use a .018”
thickness electrical steel, a product conversion markup of 4.1 percent was used. For designs that
use a .014” (approximately .35 mm), a product conversion markup of 6.5 percent was used. The
magnitudes of these markups are consistent with what was used in the May 2014 Final Rule. 79
FR 30934, 30975
Nonproduction
To account for manufacturers’ nonproduction costs and profit margin, DOE applies a
nonproduction cost multiplier (the manufacturer markup) to the MPC. The resulting
manufacturer selling price (“MSP”) is the price at which the manufacturer distributes a unit into
commerce.
DOE did not receive any comments recommending a different manufacturer markup. In
this preliminary analysis, DOE maintained a manufacturer markup of 37 – 45 percent. This
markup reflects costs including sales and general administrative, research and development,
interest payments, and profit factor. DOE applies the non-production markup to the sum of the
direct material production, the direct labor, the factory overhead, and the product conversion
costs. For the analyzed electric motors at or below 5-horsepower this markup was 37 percent and
for electric motors above 5-horsepower this markup was 45 percent.

Examples of these thinner steels are 29M19 and 35H210.

The results of the engineering analysis are reported as cost-efficiency data (or “curves”)
in the form of energy efficiency (in percentage) versus MSP (in dollars), which form the basis
for subsequent analyses in the preliminary analysis. DOE developed fourteen curves representing
the fourteen representative units. DOE implemented design options by analyzing a variety of
core steel material, winding material and core construction method for each representative unit
and applying manufacturer selling prices to the output of the model for each design option
combination. Table 5.5.1 shows the MSP of each representative unit for each EL.

SCALING METHODOLOGY
Due to the large number of equipment classes, DOE was not able to perform a detailed
engineering analysis on each one. Instead, DOE focused its analysis on the equipment classes of
the representative units and scaled the results to equipment classes not directly analyzed in the
engineering analysis. DOE used different scaling methodologies for MEMs and SNEMs.
5-17
Scaling Approach Using Incremental Improvements of Motors Losses
Scaling electric motor efficiencies is a complicated proposition that has the potential to
result in efficiency standards that are not evenly stringent across all equipment classes. Among
DOE’s various ECGs, there are several hundred combinations of horsepower rating, pole
configuration, and enclosure. Within these combinations there is a large number of standardized
frame number series. Given this sizable number of frame number series, DOE cannot feasibly
analyze all of these variants — hence, the need for scaling. Scaling across horsepower ratings,
pole configurations, enclosures, and frame number series is a necessity.
Scope: 10 CFR 431.25
For motors currently in scope at 10 CFR 431.25, DOE based the ELs of each
representative unit on a torn-down or simulated model at various NEMA nominal efficiencies
based on NEMA MG 1-2016, Table 12-10. Each NEMA ‘band’ refers to a specific nominal
efficiency and an increase in one NEMA band represents a ten percent reduction in motor losses.
For ECGs 1 and 2, each EL represents a one NEMA band increase in efficiency. To scale
to all equipment classes, DOE began with the current standards at 10 CFR 431.25 (Table 5 for
ECG 1, and Table 6 for ECG 2). The efficiency of each pole and horsepower combination was
then found by increasing the efficiency by the appropriate number of NEMA bands where EL 1
was a one NEMA band increase compared to the current standard, EL 2 a two NEMA band
increase, etc.
For ECG 3, each EL corresponds to a certain NEMA band increase in efficiency but is
not perfectly sequential like ECGs 1 and 2. This is due to the lower standards currently imposed
on ECG 3 motors. DOE again began with the current standards at 10 CFR 431.25 (Table 7 for
ECG 3) and increased the efficiency of each pole/horsepower combination according to a certain
number of NEMA bands. EL 1 represented a two NEMA band increase in efficiency compared
to current standards, EL 2 a three NEMA band increase, EL 3 a four NEMA band increase, and
EL 4 a six NEMA band increase.
Scope: Expanded
For AO MEMs, a scaling approach similar to those used in ECGs 1-3 was applied.
Consistent with the representative units used for AO MEMs, the efficiency of each
horsepower/pole combination was found by shifting the efficiency a certain number of NEMA
bands for each EL. Since the baseline efficiency was a two NEMA band decrease in efficiency
compared to standards for equivalent non-air-over motors at 10 CFR 431.25, EL 1 was
equivalent to current standards. EL 2 was a one NEMA band increase compared to current nonair-over standards, EL 3 a two NEMA band increase, etc.
For SNEMs a different scaling methodology was used since these motors are not referred
to using NEMA bands as commonly as MEMs are. For all SNEMs, DOE began by finding the
motor losses of each pole/horsepower combination of the current standards for SEMs at 10 CFR
431.446 and fitting a power law equation to the motor loss vs. horsepower relationship. Once this
relationship was found for each pole count, the entire function was shifted up or down by a
5-18
specific factor depending on what DOE found in catalog data regarding commonly available
lower efficiency SNEMs, discussed in Section 5.3.1. Using the modified motor loss vs.
horsepower relationship for a given pole count, the efficiency of each pole/horsepower
combination was then found.
For AO SNEMs, DOE began with the same methodology used for SNEMs. Using the
function of fan loss (in Watts) vs. rated motor horsepower found through motor testing, DOE
converted the non-air-over efficiency of each equipment class to the theoretical efficiency of the
motor if the fan was removed, absent any other changes to the motor design.

CHAPTER 6. MARKUP ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
To carry out its analyses, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) determines the cost to
the consumer of both baseline equipment (i.e., equipment that exactly meet the amended energy
conservation standards) and more efficient equipment. DOE calculates such costs based on
engineering estimates of manufacturing costs plus appropriate markups for the various
distribution channels for electric motors.
Generally, companies mark up the price of equipment to cover their business costs and
profit margin. In financial statements, gross margin is the difference between the company
revenue and the company cost of sales or cost of goods sold (CGS). The gross margin takes
account of the expenses of companies in the distribution channel, including overhead costs
(sales, general, and administration); research and development (R&D) and interest expenses;
depreciation; and taxes—and company profits. In order for sales of equipment to contribute
positively to company cash flow, the product’s markup must be greater than the corporate gross
margin. Equipment commands lower or higher markups, depending on company expenses
associated with the product and the degree of market competition.
DOE estimates a baseline markup and an incremental markup for each market participant
besides manufacturers. DOE defines a baseline markup as a multiplier that converts the
manufacturer selling price (MSP) of the equipment with baseline efficiency to the consumer
purchase price for the equipment at the same baseline efficiency level. An incremental markup is
defined as the multiplier to convert the incremental increase in MSP of higher efficiency
equipment to the consumer purchase price for the same equipment. Because companies mark up
the price at each point in the distribution channel, both baseline and incremental markups are
dependent on the distribution channel, as described in section 6.2.
DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
The appropriate markups for determining equipment prices depend on the type of
distribution channels through which equipment moves from manufacturers to consumers.
DOE identified seven primary distribution channels for currently "medium" regulated
electric motors at 10 CFR 431.25 and estimated their respective shares of shipments. DOE
estimated the proportion of shipments through each distribution channel based on input from the
National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). (Docket No. EERE-2020-BT-STD0007, NEMA, No.4 at p.7) For air over electric motors that otherwise meet the description of
currently regulated "medium" electric motors ("AO-MEMs"), DOE relied on the same
distribution channels and proportions of shipments as for electric motors subject to energy
conservation standards at 10 CFR 431.25.
6-1
For small, non-small-electric-motor electric motors ("SNEMs") that do not have air-over
enclosures and SNEMs with air-over enclosures ("AO-SNEMs"), DOE relied on the distribution
channels and proportion of shipments used in the Final Determination for small electric motors.

Table 6.2.1 provides a summary of the distribution channels considered for electric
motors.

MANUFACTURER MARKUP
For electric motor sales, DOE uses manufacturer markups to convert a manufacturer’s
product cost into a MSP for motors. A detailed description of the methodology used to derive
manufacturer markups is described in the engineering analysis (chapter 5).
APPROACH FOR WHOLESALER, OEM, RETAILER, AND CONTRACTOR
MARKUPS
A change in energy efficiency standards usually increases the MSP that wholesalers or
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) pay, and in turn the wholesale price that an OEM,
retailer, or contractor would pay. In the past, DOE used the same markups as for baseline
6-2
products to estimate the product price of more efficient product. Applying a fixed markup on
higher manufacturer selling price would imply an increase in the dollar margin earned by
wholesalers, OEMs, and retailers and an increase in per-unit profit.
Based on microeconomic theory, the degree to which firms can pass along a cost increase
depends on the level of market competition, as well as the market structure on both supply and
demand side (e.g., supply and demand elasticity). DOE examined industry data from IBISWorld
and the results suggest that most of the industries relevant to motor wholesalers, OEMs, and
retailers are generally quite competitive (Table 6.4.1).1 Under relatively competitive markets, it
may be tenable for motor wholesalers, OEMs, and retailers to maintain a fixed markup for a
short period of time after the input price increases, but the market competition should eventually
force them to readjust their markups to reach a medium-term equilibrium of which per-unit profit
is relatively unchanged before and after standards are implemented.

Thus, DOE concluded that applying fixed markups for both baseline products and higherpriced products meeting a standard is not viable in the medium to long term considering the
competitive nature of the motor wholesale, OEMs, and retail industry. DOE developed the
incremental markup approach based on the widely accepted economic view that firms are not
able to sustain a persistently higher dollar margin in a competitive market in the medium term. If
the price of the product increases under standards, the only way to maintain the same dollar
margin as before is for the markup (and percent gross margin) to decline.
To estimate the markup under standards, DOE derived an incremental markup that is
applied to the incremental equipment costs of higher efficiency products. DOE’s incremental
markup approach allows the part of the cost that is thought to be affected by the standard to scale
with the change in manufacturer price. The income statements DOE used to develop wholesaler,
OEM, and retailer markups itemize firm costs into a number of expense categories, including
direct costs to purchase or install the equipment, operating labor and occupancy costs, and other
6-3
operating costs and profit. Although motor wholesalers, OEMs, and retailers tend to handle
multiple commodity lines, DOE contends that these aggregated data provide the most accurate
indication of the expenses associated with motors and the cost structure of distribution channel
participants.
DOE uses these income statements to divide firm costs between those that are not likely
to scale with the manufacturer price of equipment (labor and occupancy expenses, or “invariant”
costs) and those that are (operating expenses and profit, or “variant” costs). For example, when
the manufacturer selling price of equipment increases, only a fraction of a wholesaler’s expenses
increase (operating expenses and profit), while the remainder can be expected to stay relatively
constant (labor and occupancy expenses). If the unit price of a motor increases by 20 percent
under standards, it is unlikely that the cost of secretarial support in an administrative office or
office rental expenses will increase proportionally.
6.4.1
Wholesaler Markups
6.4.1.1 Motor Wholesaler Markups
DOE based the wholesaler markups for motors on financial data for “Household
Appliances and Electrical and Electronic Goods Merchant Wholesaler” sector from the 2017
Annual Wholesale Trade Report (AWTR)2 published by the U.S. Census, which is the most
recent survey that includes industry-wide detailed operating expenses for that economic sector.
DOE organized the financial data into statements that break down cost components incurred by
firms in the sector.
The baseline markup converts the MSP of baseline products to the wholesaler sales price.
DOE considers baseline models to be products that just meet current Federal energy conservation
standards. DOE used the following equation to calculate an average baseline markup (MUBASE)
for motor wholesalers.
Where:
MUWHOLE_BASE =
CGSWHOLE =
GMWHOLE =
𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊_𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 =
𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊 + 𝐺𝐺𝐺𝐺𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊
𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊
motor wholesaler’s baseline markup,
motor wholesaler’s CGS, and
motor wholesaler’s GM.
To estimate incremental wholesaler markups, as described previously, DOE divides
wholesalers’ operating expenses into two categories: (1) those that do not change when CGS
increases because of amended efficiency standards (“invariant”), and (2) those that increase
proportionately with CGS (“variant”). DOE defines invariant costs as including labor and
6-4
occupancy expenses, because those costs likely will not increase as a result of a rise in CGS. All
other expenses, as well as net profit, are assumed to vary in proportion to CGS. Although it is
possible that some other expenses may not scale with CGS, DOE takes a conservative position
that includes other expenses as variant costs. (Note: under DOE’s approach, a high fixed cost
component yields a low incremental markup.)
DOE used the following equation to calculate the incremental markup (MUINCR) for
motor wholesalers.
𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊_𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼 =

MUWHOLE_INCR =

motor wholesaler’s incremental markup,
motor wholesaler’s cost of goods sold, and
motor wholesaler’s variant costs.
6.4.1.2 Equipment Wholesaler Markups
Similarly, DOE based the wholesaler markups for equipment on financial data for
“Machinery, Equipment, and Supplies Merchant Wholesaler” sector from the 2017 Annual
Wholesale Trade Report (AWTR)3 published by the U.S. Census, which is the most recent
survey that includes industry-wide detailed operating expenses for that economic sector. The
methodology used to develop baseline and incremental markups for equipment wholesalers is the
same as described in section 6.4.1.1.
6.4.2
Original Equipment Manufacturer Markups
DOE estimated the OEM markups for electric motors based on financial data of different
sets of OEMs that use respective electric motors from the latest 2019 Annual Survey of
Manufactures (ASM)4 (see Table 6.4.2)

contractors in the installation of equipment with electric motors or replacement motors.
RSMeans electrical cost data estimates material expense markups for electrical contractors as
10%, leading to a markup factor of 1.10. For SNEMs and AO-SNEMs, DOE recognizes that
contractors are not used in all installations, since some firms have in-house technicians who
would install equipment or replace a motor. However, DOE has no information on the extent to
which this occurs, so it applied a markup of 1.10 in all cases.
6.4.4
Retailer Markups
DOE based the retailer markups on financial data for “Building Material and Garden
Equipment and Supplies Dealers” from the 2017 U.S. Census Annual Retail Trade Survey
(ARTS)6, which is the most recent survey that includes industry-wide detailed operating
expenses for that economic sector.
The baseline markup converts the MSP of baseline products to the retailer sales price.
DOE considers baseline models to be equipment that just meet the current Federal energy
conservation standards. DOE used the following equation to calculate an average baseline markup
(MUBASE) for retailers.
Where:
MUBASE =

retailer’s baseline markup,

retailer’s gross margin (GM).
To estimate incremental retailer markups, DOE divides retailers’ operating expenses into
invariant and variant cost categories, as described in previous section. DOE used the following
equation to calculate the incremental markup (MUINCR) for retailers.
Where:
MUINCR =

Original Equipment Manufacturer Markups
The 2019 AMS provided total value of shipment and detailed operating expenses for
OEMs considered for both types of electric motors. DOE is able to estimate baseline and
incremental markups for each of OEMs following the methodology described in section 6.4.2,
and then calculated average baseline and incremental markups weighted by value of shipments.
Table 6.5.3 and Table 6.5.4 summarizes the markup calculation for electric motors. (Appendix

SALES TAX
The sales tax represents state and local sales taxes that are applied to the consumer
equipment price. The sales tax is a multiplicative factor that increases the consumer equipment
price. DOE derived state and local taxes from data provided by the Sales Tax Clearinghouse.7
DOE derived a population-weighted average tax value by region (See Table 6.6.1).

OVERALL MARKUPS
DOE uses the overall baseline markup to estimate the equipment price of baseline
models, given the manufacturer cost of the baseline models. As stated previously, DOE considers
baseline models to be equipment that just meet the current Federal energy conservation standards.
The following equation shows how DOE uses the overall baseline markup to determine the
equipment price for baseline models.
𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 = 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 × (𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 × 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 × 𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 ) = 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 × 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂_𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵
Where:
EPBASE = equipment price for baseline models,
COSTMFG = manufacturer cost for baseline models,
MUMFG = manufacturer markup,
MUBASE = baseline markup,
TaxSALES = sales tax, and
MUOVERALL_BASE = baseline overall markup.
Similarly, DOE uses the overall incremental markup to estimate changes in the
equipment price, given changes in the manufacturer cost from the baseline model cost resulting
from a potential energy conservation standard to raise product energy efficiency. The total
equipment price for more energy-efficient models is composed of two components: the
equipment price of the baseline model and the change in equipment price associated with the
increase in manufacturer cost to meet the new energy conservation standard. The following
equation shows how DOE uses the overall incremental markup to determine the equipment price
for more energy-efficient models (i.e., models meeting new energy conservation standards).
𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 = 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 × 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂_𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 + ∆𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 × (𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 × 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼 × 𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 )
= 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 + ∆𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝐺𝐺 × 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂_𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼
Where:
EPSTD = equipment price for models meeting new energy conservation standards,
6-13
EPBASE = equipment price for baseline models,
COSTMFG = manufacturer cost for baseline models,
ΔCOSTMFG = change in manufacturer cost for more energy-efficient models,
MUMFG = manufacturer markup,
MUINCR = incremental markup,
TaxSALES = sales tax,
MUOVERALL_BASE = baseline overall markup (product of manufacturer markup, baseline channel
markup, and sales tax), and
MUOVERALL_INCR = incremental overall markup.
Table 6.7.1 and Table 6.7.2 summarize the national average baseline and incremental
markups for each market participant under different distribution channels in electric motor sales.

7.1
INTRODUCTION
A key component of the life-cycle cost (LCC) and payback period (PBP) calculations
described in chapter 8 is the savings in operating costs that customers would realize from more
energy-efficient equipment. Energy costs are the most significant component of customer
operating costs. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) uses annual energy use, along with
energy prices, to establish energy costs at various energy efficiency levels. This chapter
describes how DOE determined the annual energy use of electric motors.
For electric motors subject to energy conservation standards at 10 CFR 431.25, the
analysis focuses on eight representative units identified in the engineering analysis (see chapter
5). In addition, for NEMA Design A, B and C electric motors, DOE included additional
representative units to represent consumers of larger horsepower electric motors (i.e., units 9, 10,
and 11). See Table 7.1.1. DOE further analyzed 12 representative units for small, non-smallelectric motors electric motors (SNEMs) that do not have air-over enclosures, and 15
representative units for air-over electric motors.a The representative units for SNEMs and airover electric motors are further described in the engineering analysis section (see chapter 5) and
are not included in Table 7.1.1.

ENERGY USE ANALYSIS FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS
7.2.1
Introduction
The energy use by electric motors is derived from two components: energy converted to
useful mechanical shaft power and motor losses. The annual unit energy consumption (UEC) in
kilowatt-hours per year of a given motor is represented by the following equation:
𝑈𝐸𝐶 = 𝑂𝑝𝐻𝑟𝑠 × (𝑃𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡 (𝑥) + 𝐿(𝑥)) × 0.746
Where:
OpHrs

the annual operating hours,
the output power of the motor at load x in horsepower,
the motor losses at load x in horsepower,
the motor load as a fraction of rated horsepower in percent, and
unit conversion factor from horsepower to kilowatt.
And:
𝑃𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡 (𝑥) = 𝐻𝑃 × 𝑥
Where:

Motor Losses
DOE calculates the motor losses at load 𝑥 in horsepower as follows:

The catalog data had only a limited sample of NEMA Design C and Fire Pump Electric motors with part-load
efficiency information. Therefore, for these electric motors, DOE used the same coefficients as for NEMA Design A
and B. The only difference between AO-MEM electric motors and regulated electric motors at 10 CFR 431.25 is the
enclosure, therefore, DOE used the same coefficients for AO-MEM electric motors.

7.2.2.1 Impact of Speed
For electric motors that are currently regulated under 10 CFR 431.25 and AO-MEMs, the
energy use analysis accounts for any changes in the motor's rated speed with increase in
efficiency levels, as provided by the engineering analysis. For SNEMs and AO-SNEMs the
engineering analysis did not characterize the motor speed by efficiency level and DOE did not
include the impact of speed in its energy use analysis.
A decrease in slip can result in a higher operating speed and a potential overloading of
the motor. The cubic relation between speed and power requirement in variable torque
applications can affect the benefits gained by efficient motors, which may have a lower slip.
Based on information from a European motor study,11 DOE assumed that 20 percent of
consumers with fan, pump, and air compressor applications would be negatively impacted by
higher operating speeds.d For these consumers, DOE incorporated the effect of increased speed
into the energy use analysis and calculated the motor losses at the efficiency level considered
(𝐿(𝑥)𝐸𝐿′ ) as follows12:
𝐿(𝑥)𝐸𝐿′ = 𝐻𝑃 × (
1
𝑅𝑃𝑀 3
𝜂𝐸𝐿′ × (𝑅𝑃𝑀 𝐸𝐿 )

Where:

polynomial equation coefficients.
Motor Applications
The annual operating hours and loading of motors depend on the sector (i.e., industrial,
agricultural, commercial and residential) and end-use application (e.g., pump). DOE estimated
the share of motors in each application depending on the equipment class group and used a
d
DOE notes that the European motor study estimates that up to 40 percent of consumers purchasing motors for
replacement may not see any decrease or increase in energy use due to this impact. The European motor study did
not include any increase in energy use. In addition, the European motor study also predicts that this impact will be
reduced overtime because new motor driven equipment will be designed to take account of this change in speed
Therefore, the study did not incorporate this effect in the analysis (i.e., 0 percent of negatively impacted consumers).
In the absence of additional data to estimate the percentage of consumers that may be negatively impacted, DOE
relied on the mid-point value of 20 percent.
7-4
distribution of motors across sectors by motor size. DOE drew upon several data sources to
develop a model of the applications for which motors covered in this analysis are used.
In the commercial and industrial sector, seven motor applications (air compressors, fans,
pumps, material handling, material processing, refrigeration compressors, and others) were
selected as representative applications based on a DOE-AMO report.13 Distributions by
applications in the commercial and industrial sectors were also derived from the DOE-AMO
report. The DOE-AMO report did not provide application distributions by horsepower range,
because the distributions did not vary significantly across horsepower range for industrial and
commercial sectors. Therefore, DOE used the same distributions across all horsepower ranges in
this analysis. For the residential sector, DOE identified five applications (fans, pumps,
refrigeration compressors, and others) based on information from the Small Electric Motors
January 2021 Final Determination Technical Support Document14 and used the distributions by
application as provided in that same report.e In the agricultural sector, DOE only considered the
pump application for agricultural farm and ranch irrigation. 15 For fire pump electric motors,
DOE considered a separate fire pump application.
In addition, DOE adjusted these distributions to account for the specific torque
capabilities of each equipment class group and only consider applications in which a motor in a
given equipment class group can be used: (1) for NEMA Design A and B motors, DOE
considered these electric motors can operate in any application and did not make any adjustment;
(2) for NEMA Design C motors, DOE assumed these motors are primarily used in high and
medium starting torque applications and adjusted the distributions to exclude fan applications;
(3) for SNEM Single-Phase (High LRT) motors, DOE considered these electric motors can
operate in any application and did not make any adjustment; and (4) for SNEM Single-Phase
(Medium LRT) motors, DOE assumed these motors are used in medium- and low- starting
torque application only and adjusted the distributions to exclude air compressor, material
handling, material processing and refrigeration compressor applications. Finally, DOE assumed
that AO-MEMs, SNEM Single-Phase (Low LRT) motors, and AO-SNEMs are only used in fan
applications.
Table 7.2.3 and Table 7.2.4 summarize the resulting sector-specific distributions of
NEMA Design A and B motors and NEMA Design C motors by applications. Table 7.2.5, Table
7.2.6, Table 7.2.7 summarize the resulting sector-specific distributions for SNEM Single-Phase
(High LRT) motors, SNEM Single-Phase (Medium LRT) motors, and SNEM Polyphase motors
by application.
e
SNEMs cover a similar horsepower range as SEMs currently regulated at 10 CFR 431.446, and used in the same
applications. SEM data from the Small Electric Motors January 2021 Final Determination Technical Support
Document is used to represent SNEMs usage in this analysis unless more recent data was found.

DOE developed distributions of shipments by sector and horsepower range for electric
motors currently regulated under 10 CFR 431.25 based on information from the 2014 Final Rule
Technical Standard Document16. DOE also used updated information from a market research
report17 which provided breakdown of electric motors shipments in the commercial and
industrial sector. Table 7.2.8 presents the estimated shipments of electric motors by sector and
horsepower range for electric motors currently regulated under 10 CFR 431.25. These were also
updated based on updated information regarding the distribution of shipments by horsepower
(See Chapter 9).
For SNEMs and AO-SNEMs, DOE used the same sector-specific distributions as for
small electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.446 as provided in the Small Electric Motors
January 2021 Final Determination Technical Support Document. In addition, DOE adjusted
these distributions to account for the following assumptions: (1) DOE assumed that polyphase
SNEMs and polyphase AO-SNEMs which operate on three phase power supply are not used in
residential sector; (2) DOE assumed that polyphase SNEMs, which are below 50 hp are not used
in the agricultural sector (consistent with Table 7.2.8); and (3) DOE assumed that polyphase AOSNEMs are only used in fan applications and therefore are not used in the agricultural sector
(pump only). Table 7.2.9 presents the sector-specific distributions for SNEMs and AO electric
motors.

Load
For all equipment class groups except fire pump electric motors, DOE derived
distributions of motor load by application in the commercial and industrial sectors from the
DOE-AMO report. The report reported the fraction of motors operating at constant and variable
load and within a specified load range (i.e., less than or equal to 40 percent load, greater than 40
percent and less than 75 percent load, and greater or equal to 75 percent load). DOE aggregated
constant and variable load distributions to determine average annual motor load distribution by
reported load ranges for both constant and variable load applications. In addition, within each
range, DOE assumed a uniform distribution. DOE also used a maximum load factor of 1 to
ensure a resulting average load across all application in the 0.55 to 0.85 range.f Table 7.2.10
presents the load distribution by all applications for industrial sector. Table 7.2.11 presents the
load distribution by all applications for commercial sector. For the agricultural sector, DOE did
not find sector-specific load information and used the same load distributions for industrial pump
applications instead. For the residential sector, DOE did not find sector-specific load information
and used the same load distributions as in the commercial sector. Finally, DOE did not find
application specific information for fire pump electric motors and assumed a uniform load
distribution between 0 and 1.

Motor Annual Hours of Operation
The DOE-AMO report provides motor annual hours of operation by application for the
commercial and industrial sectors. The DOE-AMO report provides average, median, minimum,
maximum, and quartile boundaries for annual operating hours in the industrial and commercial
sector by application and showed no significant difference in average annual hours of operation
across horsepower ranges. DOE used this information to develop statistical distributions of
annual operating hour by application in the commercial and industrial sectors.
For the residential sector, DOE used distributions of annual operating hours from the
Small Electric Motors January 2021 Final Determination Technical Support Document which
were provided in tabular format.
Table 7.2.12, Table 7.2.13, and Table 7.2.14 display the resulting average annual
operating hours by application for the industrial, commercial, and residential sector, respectively.
For the industrial and commercial sectors, Table 7.2.12, Table 7.2.13 also provide the median,
minimum, maximum, and quartile boundaries reported in the DOE-AMO report.

For fire pump electric motors, DOE did not find application-specific information on
operating hours. These electric motors are used very intermittently and typically operate when
being tested on a monthly basis. DOE assumed a uniform distribution between 0.5 and 6 hours
based on the 2014 Final Rule Technical Standard Document.
For agricultural sector, DOE derived statistical distribution of annual operating hours of
irrigation pumps from the 2013 Census of Agriculture Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey by
region (resulting in a national average operating hours of 957 hours per year).

CHAPTER 8. LIFE-CYCLE COST AND PAYBACK PERIOD ANALYSIS
8.1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) method for analyzing
the economic impacts on individual consumers a from potential energy efficiency standards for
electric motors. The effects of standards on individual consumers include a change in purchase
price (usually an increase) and a change in operating costs (usually a decrease). This chapter
describes three metrics DOE used to determine the impact of standards on individual consumers:
•
Life-cycle cost (LCC) is the total consumer expense during the lifetime of an
appliance (or other equipment), including purchase expense and operating costs
(including energy expenditures). DOE discounts future operating costs to the year of
purchase and sums them over the lifetime of the electric motor.
•
Payback period (PBP) measures the amount of time it takes a consumer to recover
the higher purchase price of a more energy efficient electric motor through lower
operating costs. DOE calculates a simple payback period which does not discount
operating costs.
•
Rebuttable payback period is a special case of the PBP. Whereas LCC is estimated
for a range of inputs that reflect real-world conditions, rebuttable payback period is
based on laboratory conditions as specified in the DOE test procedure.
Inputs to the LCC and PBP calculations are described in sections 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4.
Results of the LCC and PBP analysis are presented in section 8.5.
DOE performed the calculations discussed herein using a computer model that relies on a
Monte Carlo simulation to incorporate uncertainty and variability into the analysis. These
calculations are described in Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet that is accessible at
http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/).
8.1.1
General Analysis Approach
Life-cycle cost is calculated using the following equation:
For commercial and industrial equipment, the consumer is the business or other entity that pays for the equipment
(directly or indirectly) and its energy costs.

life-cycle cost (in dollars),
total installed cost in dollars,
sum over the appliance lifetime, from year 1 to year N,
lifetime of the appliance in years,
operating cost in dollars,
discount rate, and
year to which operating cost is discounted.
The payback period is the ratio of the increase in total installed cost (i.e., from a less
energy efficient design to a more efficient design) to the decrease in annual operating
expenditures. This type of calculation results in what is termed a simple payback period, because
it does not take into account changes in energy expenses over time or the time value of money.
That is, the calculation is done at an effective discount rate of zero percent. The equation for PBP
is:
𝛥𝛥𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇
𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 =
𝛥𝛥𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂
Eq. 8.2
Where:
ΔTIC =
ΔOC =
difference in total installed cost between a more energy efficient design and the
baseline design, and
difference in annual operating expenses.
Payback periods are expressed in years. Payback periods greater than the life of the
equipment indicate that the increased total installed cost is not recovered through reduced
operating expenses.
Recognizing that inputs to the determination of consumer LCC and PBP may be either
variable or uncertain, DOE conducts the LCC and PBP analysis by modeling both the
uncertainty and variability of the inputs using Monte Carlo simulation and probability
distributions for inputs. Appendix 8A provides a detailed explanation of Monte Carlo simulation
and the use of probability distributions and discusses the tool used to incorporate these methods.
DOE calculates impacts relative to a case without amended or new energy conservation
standards (referred to as the “no-new-standards case”). In the no-new-standards case, some
consumers may purchase equipment with energy efficiency higher than a baseline model. For
any given standard level under consideration, consumers expected to purchase equipment with
efficiency equal to or greater than the considered level in the no-new-standards case would be
unaffected by that standard.
8-2
DOE calculates the LCC and PBP as if all consumers purchase the electric motor in the
expected initial year of compliance with a new or amended standard. At this time, the expected
compliance date of potential energy conservation standards for electric motors manufactured in,
or imported into, the United States is in 2026. Therefore, DOE conducted the LCC and PBP
analysis assuming purchases take place in 2026.
As described in chapter 7, for electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25, the analysis
focuses on 8 representative units identified in the engineering analysis (chapter 5). In addition,
for NEMA Design A and B and NEMA Design C electric motors, additional units were added to
represent consumers of larger size electric motors (9, 10, and 11). See Table 8.1.1. Further, two
sets of LCC results were generated for representative unit 2: one set with lifetime and repair
inputs specific to the 6 to 20 horsepower range, and with lifetime and repair inputs specific to the
21 to 50 horsepower range. In addition, DOE analyzed 12 representative units for small, nonsmall-electric motors electric motors (SNEMs) that do not have air over enclosures, and 15
representative units for air over electric motors. b The representative units for SNEMs and air
over electric motors are further described in the engineering analysis section (see chapter 5) and
are not included in Table 8.1.1.

Each representative unit was then associated to a horsepower range as described in Table
8.1.1.Within each of these horsepower ranges, all LCC inputs are assumed to remain constant
and equal to that of the representative unit except for the manufacturer selling price (MSP),
weight, full-load efficiency, and repair costs. In the National Impact Analysis (NIA), DOE uses
the LCC results of each representative unit to estimate the shipments-weighted average total

range. These values are then used as inputs to the NIA. (See Chapter 10)
8.1.2
Overview of Analysis Inputs
The LCC analysis uses inputs for establishing (1) the purchase expense, otherwise known
as the total installed cost, and (2) the operating costs over the equipment lifetime.
The primary inputs for establishing the total installed cost are:
•
Baseline manufacturer cost: The costs incurred by the manufacturer to produce
electric motors that meet current minimum efficiency standards, or another efficiency
level designated as the baseline for analysis.
•
Standard-level manufacturer cost: The manufacturer cost (or cost increase) associated
with producing electric motors that meet particular efficiency levels above the
baseline.
•
Markups and sales tax: The markups and sales tax associated with converting the
manufacturer cost to a consumer equipment cost.
•
Installation cost: All costs required to install the equipment, including labor,
overhead, and any miscellaneous materials and parts.
The primary inputs for calculating the operating cost are:
•
Equipment energy consumption: The equipment energy consumption is the site
energy use associated with operating the electric motor.
•
Energy prices: The prices consumers pay for energy (e.g., electricity or natural gas).
•
Energy price trends: The annual rates of change projected for energy prices during
the study period.
•
Repair costs and maintenance costs: Repair costs are associated with repairing or
replacing components that fail. Maintenance costs are associated with maintaining the
operation of the equipment.
•
Lifetime: The age at which the equipment is retired from service.
•
Discount rates: The rates at which DOE discounts future expenditures to establish
their present value.
The inputs for calculating the PBP are the total installed cost and the first-year operating
costs. The inputs to operating costs are the first-year energy cost and the annualized repair cost.
8-4
The PBP uses the same inputs as the LCC analysis, except the PBP does not require energy price
trends or discount rates.
Figure 8.1.1 depicts the relationships among the inputs to installed cost and operating
cost for calculating an electric motor’s LCC and PBP. In the figure, the tan boxes indicate inputs,
the green boxes indicate intermediate outputs, and the blue boxes indicate final outputs.

2026
Sample of Electric Motors Users
The LCC and PBP calculations detailed here are for a representative sample of individual
electric motor users. By developing consumer samples, DOE accounts for the variability in
energy consumption and energy price associated with a range of consumers.
DOE created consumer samples for four individual sectors: agriculture, commercial,
residential and industrial. DOE used the samples to determine electric motor annual energy
consumption as well as for conducting the LCC and PBP analyses. Each consumer in the sample
was assigned a sector, an application, and a region. As described in this chapter and in chapter 7
of this TSD, applications determine the usage profile of the motor and the economic
characteristics of the motor owner and vary by sector and region.
DOE established distributions of consumers by sector and application for each
representative unit. Table 8.1.3 and Table 8.1.4 show the market shares of each sector. See
Chapter 7 for more details on how these distributions were developed.

Table 8.1.5 and Table 8.1.6 show the sector-specific distributions of electric motors
across applications for NEMA Design A and B motors and NEMA Design C electric motors (all
fire pump motors were assumed to be used in pump applications). Table 8.1.7 and Table 8.1.8
and Table 8.1.9 show the sector-specific distributions by application for SNEM Single-Phase
(High LRT) motors, SNEM Single-Phase (Medium LRT) motors and SNEM Polyphase motors,
respectively. DOE assumed SNEM Single-Phase (Low LRT) and AO-MEMs are used only in
fan applications. DOE also assumed a percent of consumers would be negatively impacted by
changes in the electric motor's nominal speed (with increased efficiency). See Chapter 7 for more
details on how these distributions were developed.

For the LCC analysis, DOE also developed sector-specific distributions of consumers by
region. The distribution by regions in the commercial sector was obtained from the 2018
Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey 1, in the industrial sector from the 2018
Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey 2, in the residential sector from the 2015 Residential
Energy Consumption Survey 3, and in the agricultural sector from the 2013 Farm and Ranch
Irrigation Survey 4. Table 8.1.10 presents the sector-specific distributions by region.

In each Monte Carlo iteration, for each representative unit, one of the sector, region, and
application is identified by sampling from a distribution of sector, a distribution of region, and a
distribution of application for that representative unit. The selected application determines the
number of operating hours per years as well as the motor load. The operating hours and the
motor loading for the application are used in the energy use calculation (see Chapter 6). The
sector to which the application belongs determines the discount rate and region determines the
sales tax. The sector and region to which the application belongs determine the electricity price
used in the LCC calculation in each simulation.

TOTAL INSTALLED COST INPUTS
DOE uses the following equation to define the total installed cost.
𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 = 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 + 𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼
Where:
TIC =
CPC =
IC =
Eq. 8.3
total installed cost,
consumer purchase cost, and
installation cost.
The consumer purchase cost is equal to the manufacturer cost multiplied by markups, and
where applicable, sales tax. The cost varies based on the distribution channel through which the
consumer purchases the equipment. The installation cost represents all costs to the consumer for
installing the equipment including labor, overhead, and any miscellaneous materials and parts.
The installation cost may vary by efficiency level.
The rest of this section provides information about each of the inputs that DOE used to
calculate the total installed cost of electric motors.
8.2.1
Manufacturer Costs
DOE developed manufacturer costs at each efficiency level for the representative units as
described in chapter 5 of this TSD. To derive the MSPs for the additional representative units
analyzed in the LCC (representative units 9, 10, and 11), DOE developed a model to estimate the
baseline MSPs (i.e., at EL0) of 4-pole enclosed electric motors for all motor horsepower ratings,
within each equipment class group.
The model is expressed by the following equation:
𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀4,𝑒𝑒 (ℎ𝑝𝑝) = 𝑎𝑎 ∙ ℎ𝑝𝑝𝑏𝑏
where:
𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀4,𝑒𝑒 (ℎ𝑝𝑝)
a and b
= the MSP of a 4-pole enclosed unit with horsepower hp, and
= parameters calibrated for each equipment class group/subgroup and
EL.
DOE calibrated the model to each equipment class group and EL level using the
corresponding MSPs of the representative units provided by the engineering analysis. Table 8.2.1
presents the values of parameters a and b that DOE estimated for each equipment class group.
Figure 8.2.1 illustrates the models for NEMA Design A and B electric motors. These
equations were used to estimate the MSP of the additional units analyzed in the LCC

For representative units 9 and 10, in order to calculate the MSP at higher ELs, DOE
assumed the same incremental increase in MSP by EL as observed in representative unit 3.
For representative unit 11, DOE assumed the same incremental increase in MSP by
EL as observed in representative unit 5. The resulting MSPs for representative units 9, 10, and 11

Overall Markup
For a given distribution channel, the overall markup is the value determined by
multiplying all the associated markups and the applicable sales tax together to arrive at a single
overall distribution chain markup value. Because there are baseline and incremental markups
associated with the various market participants, the overall markup is also divided into a baseline
markup (i.e., a markup used to convert the baseline manufacturer price into a consumer price)
and an incremental markup (i.e., a markup used to convert a standard-compliant manufacturer
cost increase due to an efficiency increase into an incremental consumer price). Refer to chapter
6 of this TSD for details.
8.2.3
Application of Learning Rate for Electric Motor Prices
To derive a price trend for electric motors, DOE obtained historical Producer Price Index
(PPI) data for integral horsepower motors and generators manufacturing spanning the time
period 1969-2020 and for fractional horsepower motors and generators manufacturing between
1967-2020 from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS). c The PPI data reflect nominal prices,
adjusted for electric motor quality changes. An inflation-adjusted (deflated) price index for
integral and fractional horsepower motors and generators manufacturing was calculated by
dividing the PPI series by the implicit price deflator for Gross Domestic Product. Price indices in
2020 dollar value for integral motors and fractional motors are presented in Figure 8.2.2 and
Figure 8.2.3.

Figure 8.2.3 Historical Nominal and Deflated Producer Price Indexes for Fractional
Horsepower Motors and Generators Manufacturing from 1967 to 2020
The deflated price index for integral horsepower motors was mostly flat before early
2000s, and then the deflated price index picked up drastically. The trend is found to align with
the copper, steel and aluminum deflated price indices to some extent, as they are the major
material used in electric motors (see Figure 8.2.4). The rising prices for those commodities
during the 2000s were primarily a result of strong demand from China and other emerging
economies. Since then, a slowdown in global economic activity from the beginning of 2011
dragged down the commodity prices. DOE believes that the extent to how these trends will
continue in the future is very uncertain. In addition, the deflated price index for fractional
horsepower motors was mostly flat during the entire period from 1967 to 2020. Therfore, DOE
relied on a constant price assumption as the default price factor index to project future electric
motor prices.

8.2.4
Installation Cost
Motor installation cost data from 2013 RS Means Electrical Cost Data 5 show a variation
in installation costs according to the motor horsepower (for three-phase electric motors), but not
according to efficiency. Therefore, in the preliminary analysis, DOE did not incorporate changes
in installation costs for motors that are more efficient than baseline equipment. DOE assumed
there is no variation in installation costs between a baseline efficiency motor and a higher
efficiency motor except in terms of shipping costs which DOE estimated as function of weight
As explained in Chapter 6, the weight of each representative unit as provided in Chapter 5 was
used to calculate shipping costs as a function of ELs. (See Chapter 6 for more details). DOE
relied on the same model used to estimate the baseline MSPs of representative units 9, 10, and 11
to estimate the weights of these representative units. Table 8.2.3 provides the coefficients used to
calculate the weights of 4 pole rating (at EL0).

For representative units 9 and 10, in order to calculate the weights at higher ELs, DOE
assumed the same incremental increase in weight by EL as observed in representative unit 3. For
representative unit 11, DOE assumed the same incremental increase in MSP by EL as observed
in representative unit 5. The resulting weights for representative units 9, 10, and 11 by EL are

Total Installed Cost
The total installed cost is the sum of the consumer equipment cost and installation cost.
The total installed costs for each electric motor representative unit and additional unit analyzed
in the LCC at each efficiency level considered are shown in the tables in section 8.5.
8.3
OPERATING COST INPUTS
DOE defines operating cost (OC) using the following equation:
Where:
𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂 = 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 + 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅 + 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀
EC = energy cost associated with operating the equipment,
RC = repair cost associated with component failure, and
MC = maintenance cost.

𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸(𝑡𝑡) = 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴(𝑡𝑡) × 𝐸𝐸𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 (𝑡𝑡)
Where:
AEC(t) =
Eprice(t) =
Eq. 8.5
annual energy consumption at the site in year t, and
energy price in year t.
The annual energy costs of the equipment are computed from energy consumption per
unit for the baseline and the considered efficiency levels, combined with the energy prices.
electric motor lifetime, discount rate, and compliance date of the standard are required for
determining the operating cost and for establishing the present value of the operating cost. The
remainder of this section provides information about the variables that DOE used to calculate the
operating cost for electric motors.
8.3.1
Annual Energy Consumption
For each representative unit and additional unit analyzed, DOE calculated the annual
energy use for each sample equipment user at each efficiency level, as described in chapter 7 of
this TSD. Tables in chapter 7 provide the average annual energy consumption by efficiency level
for electric motors.
8.3.2
Energy Prices
8.3.2.1
Recent Energy Prices
Because marginal electricity price more accurately captures the incremental savings
associated with a change in energy use from higher efficiency, it provides a better representation
of incremental change in consumer costs than average electricity prices. Therefore, DOE applied
average electricity prices for the energy use of the equipment purchased in the no-new-standards
case, and marginal electricity prices for the incremental change in energy use associated with the
other efficiency levels considered.
DOE derived average and marginal electricity prices in 2020 for each census division
using data from EEI Typical Bills and Average Rates reports 6 and the methodology described in
a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report 7. DOE's methodology allows electricity prices
to vary by sector, region, and season. In the analysis, variability in electricity prices is chosen to
be consistent with the way the consumer economic and energy use characteristics are defined in
8-16
the LCC and PBP analyses. d Using the EEI data, DOE calculated average and marginal price for
the four census regions for the industrial, commercial and residential sector. The values for the
industrial sector were also used for the agricultural sector. Table 8.3.1 and Table 8.3.2 show the
average and marginal prices for each census region.

Future Energy Price Trends
To estimate electricity prices in future years, DOE multiplied the 2020 electricity prices
by the sector-specific forecasts of annual national average price changes from EIA’s Reference
case in the Annual Energy Outlook 2021 (AEO 2021). 8 The Reference case is a business-as-usual
estimate, given known market, demographic, and technological trends. Figure 8.3.1 shows the
projected national electricity price trends for the commercial, industrial, and residential sectors as
a fraction of the 2020 electricity price. AEO 2021 has an end year of 2050. DOE assumed a flat
rate of change in prices from 2050. The values for the industrial sector were used for the
agricultural sector as well.
In addition for electric motors in the commercial and industrial sector, DOE used a MLF equal to 0.5. For a given
change in electricity consumption, the corresponding change in demand is defined through the marginal load factor
(MLF). The MLF is equal to the ratio of the average hourly change in electricity use during the billing period to the
change in electricity use in the hour of the building peak load. The marginal load factor is equal to the ratio of the
number of hours that the equipment is on divided by the total number of hours in the billing period

Repair Costs and Maintenance Costs
The repair cost is the cost to repair the equipment when a component fails. The
maintenance cost is the cost of regular equipment maintenance. DOE defined a motor repair as
repair as including rewinding and reconditioning. DOE estimated repair costs as a function of
efficiency based on data from Vaughen’s. 9 Based on this data and on information from a DOE
report, 10 DOE estimated the electric motor rewind costs for NEMA premium efficiency level e
motors and used a 15 percent repair cost increase/decrease per NEMA efficiency band
increase/decrease.
Similar to what was done in the 2014 Final Rule Technical Support Document, DOE
assumed that: (1) there is no repair for electric motors in range 1 to 20 horsepower; (2) electric
motors between 21 and 100 horsepower all get repaired once over their lifetime (regardless of
the electric motor's lifetime operating hours); and (3) electric motors between 101 and 500
horsepower are all repaired twice over their lifetime (regardless of the motor's lifetime operating
hours). Similarly, for SNEMs, AO-SNEMs and AO-MEMs, DOE only included repair costs for
units with a horsepower greater than 20 horsepower. Table 8.3.3 presents the lifetime repair costs
for representative units that are assumed to undergo repairs.
For representative unit 2, which is associated to both the 6 to 20 horsepower range and
the 21 to 50 horsepower range, DOE established two sets of LCC results, one considering no
repair, and one considering one repair over the lifetime of the electric motor. f As a sensitivity
analysis, DOE also considered a scenario where motors are repaired only upon meeting certain
The NEMA premium efficiency level corresponds to the EL0 efficiency level for electric motors regulated at 10
CFR 431.25 as noted in Chapter 5. The NEMA band concept is also further described in Chapter 5.

lifetime criteria as described in Appendix 8B. Fire pump electric motors are assumed to not be
repaired due to low annual operating hours.
For the maintenance costs, DOE did not find data indicating a variation in maintenance
costs between baseline efficiency and higher efficiency motors. According to Vaughen’s, the
price of replacing bearings, which is the most common maintenance practice, is the same at all
efficiency levels.

8.3.4
Equipment Lifetime
The equipment lifetime is the age at which an equipment is retired from service. Because
equipment lifetime varies, DOE uses lifetime distributions to characterize the probability an
equipment will be retired from service at a given age. DOE’s motor lifetime model relies on four
distributions: (1) the annual operating hours distribution as presented in the energy use analysis
(see chapter 6); (2) the distribution of motor shipments by application, each with its own
distribution of annual hours of operation; (3) a Weibull distribution of mechanical motor
lifetimes, expressed in total hours of operation before failure; and (4) a Weibull distribution of
application lifetimes, expressed in years. DOE’s Monte Carlo analysis of a motor’s LCC selected
an application, an appropriate number of hours of operation, a motor mechanical lifetime, and an
application lifetime from these distributions in order to calculate a sampled motor’s lifetime in
years.
8-20
As described above, the motor lifetime model combines annual operating hours by
application and sector with motor mechanical lifetime in hours to estimate the distribution of
motor lifetimes in years. This model results in a negative correlation between annual hours of
operation and motor lifetime; motors operated many hours per year are likely to be retired sooner
than motors that are used for only a few hundred hours per year.
For NEMA Design A and B electric motors, and NEMA Design C electric motors, DOE
established sector-specific motor lifetime estimates to account for differences in maintenance
practices and field usage conditions. DOE relied on several sources to inform its lifetime model.
For electric motors used in the industrial sector, DOE used data from a subject matter expert
provided during the May 2014 Final Rule to establish estimates of average mechanical lifetimes
by horsepower range. 11 For the agricultural sector, DOE referred to an article by Michael
Gallaher et al 12 to determine average motor lifetimes (in years). For the commercial sector,
because DOE could not find sector-specific estimates, it used average motor lifetimes by
horsepower range from the Energy Efficient Motor Systems handbook 13 instead. DOE then
converted all lifetimes into mechanical lifetimes in hours based on average annual operating
hours by horsepower range and sector (see chapter 6 for more details on the annual operating
hours). Table 8.3.4 presents the shipments-weighted mechanical motor lifetimes by sector. See
Chapter 9 for shipment distributions by horsepower range and equipment class group. For AOMEM electric motors, DOE relied on the same mechanical motor lifetime distributions.

8-21
For fire pump electric motors, DOE assumed an average lifetime of 29 years and
developed a Weibull distribution around this value.
For SNEMs and AO-SNEMs, DOE used average mechanical lifetime estimates based on
the Small Electric Motors January 2021 Final Determination Technical Support Document 14 and
on information from DOE’s Advanced Manufacturing Office. 15 Both sources estimate average
mechanical lifetimes at 30,000 hours for single-phase motors and 40,000 hours for polyphase
motors. In addition, when estimating the minimum mechanical lifetime for SNEMs, based on the
Small Electric Motors January 2021 Final Determination Technical Support Document, DOE
assumed single-phase motors would not suffer mechanical failure until they have run at least
15,000 hours, and polyphase motors not until 20,000 hours. To estimate the maximum
mechanical lifetime, DOE assumed that the mean value is centered between the minimum and
maximum value. For SNEMs and AO-SNEMs, DOE did not find any sector specific information
and used the same mechanical lifetime across all sectors.
Motors that are smaller than 75 horsepower are typically embedded in other equipment
(i.e., “application”) such as pumps or compressors. For each of these motors (less than 75 hp),
DOE determined the motor lifetime in years by dividing the mechanical lifetime in hours by the
annual hours of operation. DOE then compared this lifetime (in years) with the sampled
application lifetime (also in years) and assumed that the motor would be retired at the younger of
these two ages. For example, a pump motor with annual operating hours of 2,500 hours per year
may have a mechanical lifetime of 30,000 hours (12 years) and an application lifetime of 10
years. DOE assumed the motor would retire in 10 years, when its application reached the end of
its lifetime, even if the motor itself could run for two more years. If the pump motor were to run
for 6,000 hours per year, with the same mechanical and application lifetimes, DOE would
assume it would retire after 5 years due to motor failure upon reaching its mechanical lifetime of
30,000 hours. Based on multiple sources, 16,17,18,19 DOE used an average application lifetime of
15 years for applications driven by electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25 and AO-MEMs
less than 75 horsepower. Based on the Small Electric Motors January 2021 Final Determination
Technical Support Document, DOE used application lifetimes of 7.8 years for single-phase
SNEMs and AO-SNEMs; and 9.8 years for applications driven by polyphase SNEMs and AOSNEMs.
Further, based on a literature review, 20,21,22 DOE assumed that the maximum motor
lifetime in years is 30 years. DOE also used a minimum motor lifetime of 3 years for electric
motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25, and 2 years for SNEMs, AO-SNEMS and AO-MEMs based
on warranty periods as published in manufacturer catalogs. 23,24
8.3.4.1
The Weibull Distribution
DOE assumes that the probability function for the annual survival of electric motors takes
the form of a Weibull distribution, which is a probability distribution commonly used to measure
8-22
failure rates. g Its form is similar to an exponential distribution, which models a fixed failure rate,
except that a Weibull distribution allows for a failure rate that changes over time in a specific
fashion. The cumulative Weibull distribution takes the form:
𝑃𝑃(𝑥𝑥) =
, 𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓 𝑥𝑥 > 𝜃𝜃, and
𝑃𝑃(𝑥𝑥) = 1 for 𝑥𝑥 ≤ 𝜃𝜃
Where:

age of equipment in years,
delay parameter, which allows for a delay before any failures occur,
scale parameter, which would be the decay length in an exponential distribution, and
shape parameter, which determines the way in which the failure rate changes through
time.
When β = 1, the failure rate is constant over time, giving the distribution the form of a
cumulative exponential distribution. In the case of equipment such as motors, β commonly is
greater than 1, reflecting an increasing failure rate as equipment ages.
8.3.4.2
Mechanical Motor Lifetime and Application Lifetime
Based on the lifetime information presented earlier in this section, DOE derived sectorspecific Weibull parameters for mechanical and application lifetimes of electric motors regulated
at 10 CFR 431.25. See Table 8.3.5. DOE used the same Weibull parameters to establish
mechanical lifetimes of AO-MEMs. For AO-MEMs in the residential sector, DOE used the same
Weibull parameters as for commercial sector.
For SNEMs and AO-SNEMS, the Weibull parameters describing the mechanical
lifetimes were based on the Small Electric Motors January 2021 Final Determination Technical
Support Document. See Table 8.3.6.

Discount Rates
The discount rate is the rate at which future energy cost savings and operations and
maintenance expenditures are discounted to establish their present value. For residential
consumers, DOE calculated discount rates as the weighted average real interest rate across
consumer debt and equity holdings. For consumers in the commercial, industrial, and agricultural
sectors, DOE calculated sector-specific discount rates as the weighted average cost of capital.
8.3.5.1
Commercial/Industrial
DOE’s method views the purchase of a higher efficiency appliance as an investment that
yields a stream of energy cost savings. DOE derived the discount rates for the LCC analysis by
estimating the cost of capital for companies or public entities that purchase electric motors. For
private firms, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is commonly used to estimate the present
value of cash flows to be derived from a typical company project or investment. Most companies use
both debt and equity capital to fund investments, so their cost of capital is the weighted average of
the cost to the firm of equity and debt financing, as estimated from financial data for publicly
traded firms in the sectors that purchase electric motors 25. As discount rates can differ across
industries, DOE estimates separate discount rate distributions for a number of aggregate sectors
with which elements of the LCC building sample can be associated.
Damodaran Online, the primary source of data for this analysis, is a widely used source
of information about debt and equity financing for most types of firms 26. The nearly 200 detailed
industries included in the Damodaran Online data (shown in a table in Appendix 8C were
assigned to the aggregate sectors shown in Table 8.3.9, which also shows the mapping between
the aggregate sectors and CBECS Principal Building Activities (PBAs). h Damodaran Online
data for manufacturing and other similar industries were assigned to the aggregate Industrial

are required for these sectors because they are significant consumers of some types of appliances and energyconsuming equipment.
For private firms, DOE estimated the cost of equity using the capital asset pricing model
(CAPM) 27. CAPM assumes that the cost of equity (ke) for a particular company is proportional to
the systematic risk faced by that company, where high risk is associated with a high cost of
equity and low risk is associated with a low cost of equity. In CAPM, the systematic risk facing a
firm is determined by several variables: the risk coefficient of the firm (β), the expected return on
risk-free assets (Rf), and the equity risk premium (ERP). The cost of equity can be estimated at
the industry level by averaging across constituent firms. The risk coefficient of the firm indicates
the risk associated with that firm relative to the price variability in the stock market. The
expected return on risk-free assets is defined by the yield on long-term government bonds. The
ERP represents the difference between the expected stock market return and the risk-free rate.
The cost of equity financing is estimated using the following equation, where the variables are
defined as above:
This sector applies to private education, while public education is covered under the later discussion of buildings
operated by state and local government entities.

Rf = expected return on risk-free assets,

Several parameters of the cost of capital equations can vary substantially over time, and
therefore the estimates can vary with the time period over which data is selected and the
technical details of the data averaging method. For guidance on the time period for selecting and
averaging data for key parameters and the averaging method, DOE used Federal Reserve
methodologies for calculating these parameters. In its use of the CAPM, the Federal Reserve
uses a forty-year period for calculating discount rate averages, utilizes the gross domestic
product price deflator for estimating inflation, and considers the best method for determining the
risk free rate as one where “the time horizon of the investor is matched with the term of the riskfree security 28.
By taking a forty-year geometric average of Federal Reserve data on annual nominal
returns for 10-year Treasury bonds, as provided by Damodaran Online, DOE estimated the risk
free rates shown in Table 8.3.10 29,30. DOE also estimated the ERP by calculating the difference
between risk free rate and stock market return for the same time period, as estimated using
Damodaran Online data on the historical return to stocks.

The cost of debt financing (kd) is the interest rate paid on money borrowed by a company.
The cost of debt is estimated by adding a risk adjustment factor (Ra) to the risk-free rate. This
risk adjustment factor depends on the variability of stock returns represented by standard
deviations in stock prices. This same calculation can alternatively be performed with industry8-28
level data. Tax rates also impact the cost of debt financing. Using industry average tax rates
provided by Damodaran Online, DOE incorporates the after-tax
For industry i, the cost of debt financing is:

kdi = (after-tax) cost of debt financing for industry, i,
Rf = expected return on risk-free assets,

DOE accounts for inflation using the all items Gross Domestic Product deflator, as
published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis 31. Table 8.3.11 shows the real average WACC
values for the major sectors that purchase electric motors. Tables providing full discount rate
distributions by sector are included in appendix 8C. While WACC values for any sector may
trend higher or lower over substantial periods of time, these values represent a cost of capital that
is averaged over major business cycles.
For each entity in the consumer sample for electric motors, a discount rate is drawn from
the distribution for the appropriate sector.

8.3.5.2
Residential
DOE calculates the consumer discount rate using publicly available data (the Federal
Reserve Board’s Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF)) to estimate a consumer’s required rate of
return or opportunity cost of funds related to appliances 32. In the economics literature,
opportunity cost reflects potential foregone benefit resulting from choosing one option over
another. Opportunity cost of capital refers to the rate of return that one could earn by investing in
an alternate project with similar risk; similarly, opportunity cost may be defined as the cost
associated with opportunities that are foregone when resources are not put to their highest-value
use. 33
DOE’s method views the purchase of a higher efficiency appliance as an investment that
yields a stream of energy cost savings. The stream of savings is discounted at a rate reflecting (1)
the rates of return associated with other investments available to the consumer, and (2) the
observed costs of credit options available to the consumer to reflect the value of avoided debt.
DOE notes that the LCC does not analyze the appliance purchase decision, so the implicit
discount rate is not relevant in this model. The LCC estimates net present value over the lifetime
of the product, so the appropriate discount rate will reflect the general opportunity cost of
household funds, taking this time scale into account.
Given the long time horizon modeled in the LCC, the application of a marginal interest
rate associated with an initial source of funds is inaccurate. Regardless of the method of
purchase, consumers are expected to continue to rebalance their debt and asset holdings over the
LCC analysis period, based on the restrictions consumers face in their debt payment
requirements and the relative size of the interest rates available on debts and assets. DOE
estimates the aggregate impact of this rebalancing using the historical distribution of debts and
assets. The discount rate is the rate at which future savings and expenditures are discounted to
establish their present value.
DOE estimates separate discount rate distributions for six income groups, divided based
on income percentile as reported in the SCF. These income groups are listed in Table 8.3.12.
This disaggregation reflects the fact that low and high-income consumers tend to have
substantially different shares of debt and asset types, as well as facing different rates on debts
and assets. Summaries of shares and rates presented in this chapter are averages across the entire
population.

2013, 2016, and 2019.
Shares of Debt and Asset Classes
DOE’s approach considers all household debt or equity classes in order to approximate a
consumer’s opportunity cost of funds over the equipment’s lifetime. This approach assumes that
in the long term, consumers are likely to draw from or add to their collection of debt and equity
holdings approximately in proportion to their current holdings when future expenditures are
required or future savings accumulate. DOE now includes several previously excluded debt types
(i.e., vehicle and education loans, mortgages, all forms of home equity loan) in order to better
account for all of the options used by consumers.
The average share of total debt plus assets and the associated rate of each debt and asset
type are used to calculate a weighted average discount rate for each SCF household (Table
8.3.13). The household-level discount rates are then aggregated to form discount rate
distributions for each of the six income groups. j
DOE estimated the average percentage shares of the various types of debt and assets
using data from the SCF for 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016 and 2019. k
DOE derived the household-weighted mean percentages of each source of across the twenty-one
years covered by the eight survey versions. DOE posits that these long-term averages are most
appropriate to use in its analysis.
Note that previously DOE performed aggregation of asset and debt types over households by summing the dollar
value across all households and then calculating shares. Weighting by dollar value gave disproportionate influence
to the asset and debt shares and rates of higher income consumers. DOE has shifted to a household-level weighting
to more accurately reflect the average consumer in each income group.
k
Note that two older versions of the SCF are also available (1989 and 1992); these surveys are not used in this
analysis because they do not provide all of the necessary types of data (e.g., credit card interest rates, etc.). DOE
feels that the time span covered by the eight surveys included is sufficiently representative of recent debt and equity
shares and interest rates.

Rates for Types of Debt
DOE estimated interest rates associated with each type of debt. The source for interest
rates for mortgages, loans, credit cards, and lines of credit was the SCF for 1995, 1998, 2001,
2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019, which associates an interest rate with each type of debt
for each household in the survey.
DOE adjusted the nominal rates to real rates for each type of debt by using the annual
inflation rate for each year (using the Fisher formula). l In calculating effective interest rates for
home equity loans and mortgages, DOE also accounted for the fact that interest on both such
loans is tax deductible. This rate corresponds to the interest rate after deduction of mortgage
interest for income tax purposes and after adjusting for inflation. The specific inflation rates vary
by SCF year, while the marginal tax rates vary by SCF year and income bin as shown in Table
8.3.14. For example, a 6 percent nominal mortgage rate has an effective nominal rate of 5.5
Fisher formula is given by: Real Interest Rate = [(1 + Nominal Interest Rate) / (1 + Inflation Rate)] – 1. Note that
for this analysis DOE used a minimum real effective debt interest rate of 0 percent.

Table 8.3.15 shows the household-weighted average effective real interest rates on debt
in each year and the mean rate across years. Because the interest rates for each type of household
debt reflect economic conditions throughout numerous years and various phases of economic
growth and recession, they are expected to be representative of rates in effect in 2026.

Rates for Types of Assets
No similar rate data are available from the SCF for classes of assets, so DOE derived
asset interest rates from various sources of national historical data. The rates for stocks are the
annual returns on the Standard and Poor’s 500 for 1990–2020. 34 The interest rates associated

with AAA corporate bonds were collected from Moody’s time-series data for 1990–2020. 35
Rates on Certificates of Deposit (CDs) accounts came from Cost of Savings Index (COSI) data
covering 1990–2020. 36,37,38,39,40, m. The interest rates associated with state and local bonds (20year municipal bonds) were collected from Federal Reserve Board economic data time-series for
1990–2020. 41,n The interest rates associated with treasury bills (30-year treasury constant
maturity rate) were collected from Federal Reserve Board economic data time-series for 1990–
2020. 42,43,o Rates for money market accounts are based on 3-month money market account rates
reported by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) from 1990–
2020. 44 Rates for savings accounts are assumed to be half the average real money market rate.
Rates for mutual funds are a weighted average of the stock rates and the bond rates. p DOE
adjusted the nominal rates to real rates using the annual inflation rate in each year (see appendix
8D of this TSD). In addition, DOE adjusted the nominal rates to real effective rates by
accounting for the fact that interest or gain on such equity types is taxable. The capital gains
marginal tax rate varies for households based on income as shown in Table 8.3.16.

Discount Rate Calculation and Summary
Using the asset and debt data discussed above, DOE calculated discount rate distributions
for each income group as follows. First, DOE calculated the discount rate for each consumer in
each of the versions of the SCF, using the following formula:
𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝑖𝑖 = � 𝑆𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑖𝑖,𝑗𝑗 × 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑖𝑖,𝑗𝑗
𝑗𝑗
Where:
𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝑖𝑖 =
𝑆𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑖𝑖,𝑗𝑗 =
𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑖𝑖,𝑗𝑗 =
Eq. 8.10
discount rate for consumer i,
share of asset or debt type j for consumer i, and
real interest rate or rate of return of asset or debt type j for consumer i.
The rate for each debt type is drawn from the SCF data for each household. The rate for
each asset type is drawn from the distributions described above.
Once the real discount rate was estimated for each consumer, DOE compiled the
distribution of discount rates in each survey by income group by calculating the proportion of
consumers with discount rates in bins of 1-percent increments, ranging from 0-1 percent to
greater than 30 percent. Giving equal weight to each survey, DOE compiled the overall
distribution of discount rates.
Table 8.3.18 presents the average real effective discount rate for each of the six income
groups. To account for variations among households, DOE sampled a rate for each RECS
household from the distributions for the appropriate income group. (RECS provides household
income data.) Appendix 8D of this TSD presents the full probability distributions for each
income group that DOE considered in the LCC analysis.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY DISTRIBUTIONS
To estimate the percentage of consumers who would be affected by a potential standard
at any of the considered efficiency levels, DOE first develops a distribution of efficiencies for
equipment that consumers purchase under the no-new-standards case.
DOE used manufacturer catalog data from 2020 for electric motors regulated at 10 CFR
431.25 and AO-MEMs, and manufacturer catalog data from 2016 for SNEMs and AO-SNEMs
to develop the no-new standards-case efficiency distributions. DOE used the number of models
across all poles and enclosures that meet the requirements of each efficiency level in year 2020
within horsepower ranges that are described in Table 8.1.1. The distribution is estimated
separately for each horsepower range and used for corresponding representative units from Table
8.1.1 in this analysis. q DOE assumed these would remain constant through 2026.
Table 8.4.1, Table 8.4.2, and Table 8.4.3 show the no-new-standards case efficiency
distribution in the compliance year for electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25, SNEMs and
AO electric motors. Using these distributions of efficiencies for electric motors, DOE randomly
assigned an efficiency to each user drawn from the consumer samples. If a consumer is assigned
an efficiency that is greater than or equal to the efficiency under consideration, the consumer
would not be affected by a standard at that efficiency level.
In some cases where DOE did not have enough models with efficiency information within a single horsepower
range, DOE aggregated horsepower ranges. In addition for certain AO-SNEM electric motors, DOE did not find
enough models with efficiency information to develop a distribution and used the efficiency distributions of the
corresponding non-AO equipment class instead.

LIFE-CYCLE COST AND PAYBACK PERIOD RESULTS
The LCC calculations were performed for each of the 10,000 consumers in the sample of
consumers established for each equipment class. Each LCC calculation sampled inputs from the
probability distributions that DOE developed to characterize many of the inputs to the analysis.
For the set of the sample consumers for each equipment class, DOE calculated the
average installed cost, first year’s operating cost, lifetime operating cost, and LCC for each EL.
These averages are calculated assuming that all of the sample purchasers purchase equipment at
each EL. This allows the installation costs, operating costs, and LCCs for each EL to be
compared under the same conditions, across a variety of sample purchasers. DOE used these
average values to calculate the PBP for each EL, relative to the baseline EL.
DOE first assigned an electric motor to consumers using the efficiency distribution in the
no-new-standards case. DOE calculated the LCC and PBP for all consumers as if each were to
purchase a new electric motor in the expected year of compliance with amended standards. For
any given efficiency level, DOE measures the change in LCC relative to the LCC in the no-newstandards case, which reflects the estimated efficiency distribution of electric motors in the
absence of new or amended energy conservation standards.
The following sections present the key LCC and PBP results. A consumer is considered
to have received a net LCC cost if the purchaser had negative LCC savings at the EL being
analyzed. DOE presents the average LCC savings for affected consumers, which includes only
consumers with non-zero LCC savings due to the standard.

8.5.2
Rebuttable Payback Period
DOE calculates so-called rebuttable PBPs to test the legally established rebuttable
presumption that an energy efficiency standard is economically justified if the additional
equipment costs attributed to the standard are less than three times the value of the first-year
energy cost savings. (42 U.S.C. §6295 (o)(2)(B)(iii))
The basic equation for rebuttable PBP is the same as that used for PBP. However, the
rebuttable PBP is not based on the use of consumer samples and probability distributions.
Instead, the rebuttable PBP is based on discrete single-point values for certain inputs (See Table
8.5.79). In addition, the rebuttable PBP relies on the DOE test procedure to determine the
equipment’s efficiency (measured at full load) and the associated annual energy consumption.
The rebuttable PBP also excludes any maintenance and repair costs.

CHAPTER 9. SHIPMENTS ANALYSIS
9.1 INTRODUCTION
Projections of product shipments are a necessary input for calculating national energy
savings (NES) and net present value (NPV) of potential new or amended energy efficiency
standards. Shipments also are a necessary input to the manufacturer impact analysis. This chapter
describes DOE’s method and results of projecting annual shipments for electric motors over the
30-year analysis period.
The shipments model developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) relies on three
types of inputs: an estimate of total shipments in the base year (2020), projections of
macroeconomic indicators that drive electric motor shipments, and estimates of total shipments
of electric motors by equipment class group, horsepower, poles, and enclosure configuration. To
estimate the effect of potential standard levels on electric motor shipments, the shipments model
also accounts for potential substitutions of NEMA Design A and B motors with synchronous
electric motors that are currently out of the scope of this analysis. DOE’s electric motor
shipments projections are based on forecasts of economic growth and do not discriminate
shipments between replacements and purchases for new applications. For this analysis, DOE
assumed that any new energy efficiency standards for electric motors would require compliance
in 2026. Thus, all electric motors purchased starting in 2026 are affected by the standard level.
DOE’s analysis considers shipments over a 30-year period, in this case from 2026 through 2055.
The shipments model was developed as a part of the Excel spreadsheet used for the
national impacts analysis (NIA).
Section 9.2 describes the data inputs and analysis of market segments; section 9.3
describes how DOE projected shipments through 2055 in the no-new or amended standards case;
section 9.4 discusses the effect of potential standards on shipments; and section 9.5 presents the
model results for the efficiency levels considered. Finally, section 9.6 presents initial estimates of
2020 shipments for additional categories of electric motors that DOE may consider analyzing in
the NOPR stage.
9.2 TOTAL SHIPMENTS
9.2.1
Base Year Shipments
In its preliminary analysis, DOE estimated total shipments of regulated electric motors to
4.5 million units in 2020 based on information from (1) the 2019 Low-Voltage Motors, World
Market Report1; and (2) the share of low voltage motors that are subject to the electric motors
energy conservation standards. a
a
DOE estimated that 85 percent of low voltage electric motors above 1 hp are regulated at 10 CFR 431.25 based on
the total shipments of low voltage electric motors in 2011 and total shipments of regulated electric motors in 2011
from the May 2014 Final Rule.
9-1
In its preliminary analysis, DOE estimated the total shipments of SNEMs that do not
have air-over enclosures and AO electric motors in 2020 to be 20.6 million units and 8.2 million
units respectively. Estimates of shipments of SNEMs that do not have air-over enclosures were
obtained using the following assumptions:
•
•
DOE estimated that the shipments of SNEM polyphase and capacitor start motors (CS)
are equal to shipments of polyphase and CS small electric motors (SEM) regulated at 10
CFR 430.446 in 2020, as projected in the March 2010 Small Electric Motors Final Rule2.
Based on this assumption, DOE estimated the shipments of SNEM high torque motors to
3,940,000 units and of polyphase SNEM motors to 920,000 units in 2020.
Based on information from a previous DOE report3 and data from the U.S. Census
Bureau’s Current Industrial Reports4, 5,6 ,7,8 DOE estimates that SNEM low torque
permanent split capacitor (PSC) and shaded pole electric motors represent the over 50
percent of the market of single phase SNEMs. Based on these same sources, DOE
estimates that the market share of CS electric motors is equal to the market share of
SNEM medium torque split phase (SP) electric motors. Therefore, DOE calculated the
shipments of other SNEM electric motors using the following market shares estimates of
single-phase SNEM motors: 20 percent for CS; 20 percent for SP; 55 percent for PSC;
and 5 percent for shaded pole. Based on this assumption, DOE estimated the 2020
shipments of SP electric motors to 3,940,000 units, and shipments of PSC and shaded
pole electric motors to 10,830,000 and 980,000 units respectively.
DOE did not find air-over electric motor specific market data and calculated shipments of
AO electric motors assuming air-over electric motors represent 25% of all single-phase motors
(SNEM and SEM)b and 5 percent of all polyphase motors (SNEM polyphase, SEM polyphase,
and polyphase electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25) based on catalog model counts.
Based on this assumption, DOE estimated the 2020 shipments of single phase SNEM motors
with air-over enclosures (AO-SNEM) to 7,890,000 units, shipments of polyphase AO-SNEM to
100,000 units, and shipments of air-over motors which otherwise meet the description of
"medium" electric motor regulated at 10 CFR 431.25 (AO-MEM) to 240,000 units. DOE then
distributed the shipments of single-phase AO-SNEM motors by topology based on catalog model
counts of single AO electric motors. See resulting shipments in Table 9.2.1
b
DOE estimates that for single phase motors, air-over enclosure is one of the four most common enclosure type
with open drip proof, totally enclosed non-ventilated, and totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosures. Therefore, DOE
applied a 25% market share.

Market Segmentation
For regulated electric motors, DOE relied on information from manufacturer interview
conducted in preparation for this preliminary analysis to estimate market shares by equipment
class group, horsepower, poles, and enclosure configuration. See Table 9.2.2 and Table 9.2.3. As
needed, to further distribute shipments by individual horsepower, poles, and enclosure
configuration within an equipment class group, DOE relied on the following assumptions: (1) the
shares of electric motors by pole do not change with horsepower and (2) shipments are
distributed equally across individual horsepower within a horsepower range. DOE assumed these
market shares were constant throughout the analysis period (2026-2055).

9.3 SHIPMENTS PROJECTION
DOE has previously identified that sales of electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25
are driven by, and follow the same trend as private fixed investments9. In this preliminary
analysis, DOE relied on its previous findings to project shipments of electric motors and
performed the following steps:
(a) DOE chained (2020=1) the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Business Fixed
Investments from the DOE’s Energy Information Administration (EIA)’s Annual Energy
Outlook 2021 (AEO2021) and estimated a linear model to express GDP as a function of
Business Fixed Investments. Figure 9.3.1 presents the linear relationship DOE derived
from the chained GDP and Business Fixed Investment chained values for 2020 to 2050.
9-5
Figure 9.3.1 Relationship between Chained GDP and Business Fixed Investments (20202050)
(b) DOE estimated a quadratic model to extrapolate the chained GDP and used the model to
project chained GDP values from 2051 to 2055, the last shipment year in the analysis
period. Figure 9.3.2 shows the model DOE estimated and the chained GDP projection.
Figure 9.3.2 Projection of Chained GDP
(c) DOE used the relationship described in (a), the chained AEO 2021 GDP values, and the
chained GDP values projected through 2055 in (b) to project chained Business Fixed
Investment values from 2051 to 2055. Figure 9.3.3 shows the chained Business Fixed
9-6
Investments DOE projected through 2055. The chained Business Fixed Investments
provide a trend for electric motor shipments, which DOE applied to its estimates of
shipments in 2020.
Figure 9.3.3 Projection of Chained Business Fixed Investments
DOE used the approach described above to estimate chained values of Business Fixed
Investments for the AEO 2021 Reference-, Low- and High Economic Growth scenarios. Table
9.3.1 shows the parameters DOE estimated for the models described in (a) and (b) above for each
AEO economic growth scenario.

High Growth
DOE projected shipments of SNEMs and AO electric motors using a model driven by
forecasted economic growth as previously used by DOE to project shipments of small electric
motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.44610. DOE’s projections assumed that SNEM and AO electric
motor sales are driven by macroeconomic activity of the sectors in which they are used. DOE
used the estimated shares of shipments by sector shown in Table 9.2.3 to develop a weighted9-7
average market growth. Annual shipments growth rates for each sector are set as equal to annual
growth rates in the following drivers, which are provided by the AEO 2021 through 2050:
•
•
•
Industrial and Agricultural: Manufacturing activity (total shipments—manufacturing
only, in dollars);
Commercial: Commercial floor space;
Residential: Number of households.
DOE continued the growth trend in AEO forecasts through 2055 by, first, determining
the growth rate for these drivers between 2020 and 2050, and then continuing that rate from 2050
to 2055. DOE used the approach described above to estimate growth rates for the AEO 2021
Reference-, Low- and High Economic Growth scenarios.
9.4 IMPACTS OF STANDARDS ON CONSUMER CHOICE
In each standard case, DOE accounted for the possibility that some consumers may
choose to purchase a synchronous electric motor (out of scope of this preliminary analysis) rather
than purchasing a more efficient NEMA Design A or B electric motor. DOE developed a
consumer choice model to estimate the percentage of consumers that would purchase a
synchronous electric motor based on the payback period of such investment. DOE estimated the
payback period of the investment on a synchronous electric motor as the quotient between the
additional total installed cost and the annual operating cost savings of a synchronous electric
motor relative to a NEMA Design A and B motor.
To support the payback calculation, DOE estimated the total installed cost and annual
operating cost of a synchronous electric motor. DOE scaled up the MSP of a NEMA Design A
and B electric motor to estimate the MSP of the corresponding, potential substitute synchronous
electric motor. DOE also accounted for the higher weight and associated shipments costs of a
synchronous electric motor when estimating its total installed cost. DOE estimated the operating
costs of a synchronous electric motor with a speed control, as described in chapter 5. DOE
assumed that, in some cases, consumers that chose to purchase a synchronous electric motor
would also see a reduction in energy use due to controls. DOE assumed a reduction in energy use
of 30 percent based on information from a previous DOE study which reported ranges of energy
savings from case studies of speed control installation.11 Table 9.4.1 shows the annual energy
consumption DOE estimated for the substitute motors. DOE also assumed that consumers that
operate with a variable load application and who do not already have a variable frequency drive
would benefit from the additional energy reductions due to speed controls. DOE relied on
information from a previous DOE study12 to estimate the share of consumers with variable load
applications and without a variable frequency drive by sector and application (See Table 9.4.2).

For each standards case DOE calculated, for each consumer in the LCC sample with a
no-new standards case efficiency below the efficiency level considered at that standards case, the
payback period from investing in a new synchronous electric motor rather than purchasing a new
NEMA Design A and B motor at the efficiency level set for that standard case. Because total
installed costs and operating costs savings vary across consumers, the payback from investing in
a synchronous electric motor also varies, and some consumers represented in the LCC sample
would have larger payback periods than others. DOE assumed that consumers with a payback
period equal to or shorter than 2 years13 would select a synchronous electric motor rather than a
compliant NEMA Design A and B electric motor. Table 9.4.3 presents DOE’s estimates of the
resulting percentages of consumers that would purchase a synchronous electric motor instead of
a NEMA Design A or B electric motor, for the horsepower ranges that DOE believes these
purchase substitutions may occur.

Shipments Projections in the Standards Cases
This section presents the shipments projected in each standards case considered.
Because DOE assumed that some consumers may select synchronous motors instead of
NEMA Design A and B electric motors between 1 - 100 horsepower, the shipments of NEMA
Design A and B electric motors between 1 and 100 horsepower diminishes in the standards case,
and are replaced by shipments of synchronous electric motors. See Table 9.5.4. Shipments for
other electric motors equipment classes remain equal to the no-new standards case. See section
9.5.1.

CHAPTER 10. NATIONAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
10.1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the methods the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) used to
conduct a national impact analysis (NIA) of potential energy efficiency standard levels for
electric motors, and the results of the analysis. For each potential standard level, DOE evaluated
the following impacts: (1) national energy savings (NES), (2) monetary value of the energy
savings for consumers of electric motors, (3) increased total installed costs, and (4) the net
present value (NPV), which is the difference between the savings in operating costs and the
increase in total installed costs.
DOE determined the NES and NPV for all the efficiency levels (ELs) considered for
electric motors. DOE performed all calculations using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet model,
which is accessible on the Internet at www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/. The
spreadsheet combines the calculations for determining the NES and NPV for each considered EL
with input from the appropriate shipments model.
The NIA calculation starts with the shipments model. Chapter 9 of this TSD provides a
detailed description of the shipments model that DOE used to project future purchases of electric
motors, and how standards might affect the level of shipments.
The analysis is described more fully in subsequent sections. The descriptions include
overviews of how DOE performed each model’s calculations and summaries of the major inputs.
Table 10.1.1 summarizes inputs to the NIA model. The efficiency levels referenced in this
chapter are detailed in Chapter 5 of the TSD.

REPRESENTATIVE UNITS AND NON- REPRESENTATIVE EQUIPMENT
CLASSES
In the NIA, DOE analyzes the energy and economic impacts of a potential standard on all
equipment classes aggregated by horsepower range. Non-representative equipment classes (i.e.,
those not analyzed in the engineering, energy-use, and LCC analyses) are estimated using results
for the analyzed equipment classes that best represents each non-representative equipment class.
See Table 10.2.1, Table 10.2.2, and Table 10.2.3. For electric motors regulated at 10 CFR431.25
where the representative unit covers a wide horsepower range, DOE scaled the results of the
representative units. For example, results from representative unit 1 (NEMA Design A and B
electric motor, 5 horsepower, 4 poles, enclosed) were scaled to represent all NEMA Design A
and B electric motor equipment classes between 1 and 5 horsepower. For SNEM and AO electric
motors, where the representative units covered a narrower horsepower range, DOE did not
perform any scaling and directly used the results of the representative unit. For electric motors
regulated at 10 CFR431.25 where the representative unit covers a wide horsepower range, DOE
scaled the results of the representative units as follows:
•
Annual energy consumption values of the non-representative equipment classes at EL0
were calculated by applying the ratio of the current federal standard and ratio of
horsepower to the annual energy consumption of the representative units. DOE also
assumed that the incremental decrease in energy use between efficiency levels is the
same for representative and non-representative equipment classes. See section 10.2.1 for
more detail.
•
Retail price and installation costs (i.e., shipping costs) at EL0 were estimated using retail
price and weight data obtained from four manufacturers online catalogs ("2020
Manufacturer Catalog Data")1, 2, 3, 4 and outputs from the engineering analysis. DOE
further assumed that the incremental change in MSP and weights between efficiency
levels is the same for representative and non-representative equipment classes. See
section 10.2.2 for more detail.
10-2
•
Repair costs for each non-representative equipment class were estimated based on
information from Vaughen's National Average Prices.
For each equipment class group and horsepower range analyzed in the NIA, DOE then
developed shipment-weighted average inputs per unit.

10.2.1 Annual Energy Consumption Values for Non-Representative Equipment Classes
This section describes the method used to scale the annual energy consumption values of
the representative unit to non-representative equipment classes for electric motors regulated at 10
CFR 431.25. For SNEMs and AO electric motors, no scaling was applied.
DOE derived annual energy consumption values (or unit energy consumption "UEC") for
each non-representative equipment class at each EL considered as follows: first, DOE calculated
the annual energy consumption at EL0 using the following equations:
𝜂𝜂𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟,𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0

×
𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0 = 𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟,𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0 ×

Where:
𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0
= annual energy consumption of the non-representative equipment class at EL0
𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟,𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0
= annual energy consumption of the associated representative unit at EL0 (see
a
chapter 6)
𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻
= horsepower of the non-representative equipment class
For example, for all equipment classes that are NEMA Design A and B motors between 1 and 5 horsepower, the
associated representative unit is representative unit 1.

𝜂𝜂𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟,𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0
= horsepower of the associated representative unit
= nominal full-load efficiency of the non-representative equipment class at EL0
= nominal full-load efficiency of the associated representative unit at EL0
To obtain annual consumption value at higher ELs, DOE applied the same incremental
change than observed in the associated representative unit:
𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 = 𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0 ×
𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟,𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸
𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟,𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0
Where:
𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸
= annual energy consumption of the non-representative equipment class at the
considered EL
𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟,𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸
= annual energy consumption of the associated representative unit at the
considered EL (See chapter 6)
At each EL, DOE then calculated the shipment-weighted average annual energy
consumption values for each equipment class group and horsepower range considered in the
NIA. (See Chapter 9 for details regarding the shipments distributions by equipment class).
10.2.2 Per-Unit Retail Price and Installation Costs Values for Non-Represented Equipment
Classes
This section describes the method used to scale the retail price and installation costs (i.e.,
shipping costs) of the representative unit to non-representative equipment classes for electric
motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25. For SNEMs and AO electric motors, no scaling was applied.
DOE derived retail price and installation costs (i.e., shipping costs) for each nonrepresentative equipment class at each EL considered as follows: first, DOE used the model
established in chapter 8 to estimate the MSP at EL0 for all non-representative equipment classes
that are 4-poles, enclosed. b (See Chapter 8) Then, DOE derived a set of indices to characterize
how baseline MSPs (or retail price) vary with pole and enclosure across a fixed range of
horsepower rating. DOE established these indices using statistical estimates derived from a
database of motor prices which DOE built upon data collected from 2020 catalog data from four
large manufacturers (2020 Manufacturer Catalog Data). DOE used the following regression
model to estimate MSPs for all motor configurations (poles and enclosure) of a given
horsepower range:
Where:
𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 = 𝛽𝛽𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 + 𝛽𝛽𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 + 𝛽𝛽𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 . 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 + 𝜀𝜀
In chapter 8, DOE derived a model to estimate the MSP as a function of horsepower for 4 poles enclosed electric
motors.

DOE used the MSP it estimated for a 4-pole enclosed motor from the regression model
above to normalize the MSP values it estimated and calculate the corresponding MSP indices.

horsepower range.

DOE applied these indices to the MSPs of 4 poles enclosed electric motors, to estimate
the MSPs of all non-representative equipment classes at EL0. (See Appendix 10A) DOE
calculated the purchase price of each non-represented equipment class at EL0 as follows:
Where:

To obtain retail price values at higher ELs, DOE applied the same incremental change as
observed in the associated representative unit:

= retail price of the associated representative unit at the considered EL
At each EL, DOE then calculated the shipments-weighted average price for each
equipment class group and horsepower range considered in the NIA, using the shipments
distributions described in Chapter 9.
DOE followed the same approach, using the models developed in chapter 8 to estimate
the weights of non-representative equipment classes at EL0. DOE derived a set of indices to
characterize how baseline weights vary with pole and enclosure across a fixed range of
horsepower rating. DOE established these indices using statistical estimates derived from a
database of motor weights which DOE built upon data collected from 2020 catalog data from
four large manufacturers (2020 Manufacturer Catalog Data). The resulting weight values are
presented in Appendix 10A. DOE used the following regression model to estimate weights for
all motor configurations (poles and enclosure) of a given horsepower range:
Where:

DOE used the weight it estimated for a 4-pole enclosed motor from the regression model
above to normalize the weight values it estimated and calculate the corresponding weight
indices. Table 10.2.5 shows the weight scaling indices DOE estimated for each motor
configuration and horsepower range.

DOE then relied on the weight data to calculate the installation costs of nonrepresentative equipment classes as follows:
𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0 = 𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟,𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0 ×

Where:
𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 = Installation costs of the non-representative equipment class at EL0
𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟,𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0 = Installation costs of the associated representative unit at EL0 (See

= weight of the non-representative equipment class at EL0
𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊ℎ𝑡𝑡𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟,𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0 = weight of the associated representative unit at EL0 (See chapter 6)
To obtain installation costs values at higher ELs, DOE applied the same incremental
change than observed in the associated representative unit:
𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 = 𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸0 ×

Where:
𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 = Installation costs of the non-representative equipment class at the

𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟,𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 = Installation costs of the associated representative unit at the
considered EL (See chapter 6)
At each EL, DOE then calculated the shipments-weighted average installation costs for
each equipment class group and horsepower range considered in the NIA, using the shipments
distributions described in Chapter 9.
10.3
PROJECTED ENERGY EFFICIENCY TREND
The trend in forecasted energy efficiency is a key factor in estimating NES and NPV for
the no-new-standards case and each potential standards case. For calculating the NES, per-unit
average annual energy consumption is a direct function of equipment energy efficiency. For the
10-8
NPV, both the per-unit total installed cost and the per-unit annual operating cost are dependent
on equipment energy efficiency.
DOE used the shipments-weighted energy efficiency distribution for 2026 (the assumed
date of compliance with a new standard) as a starting point (See Table 10.3.1). To represent the
distribution of equipment energy efficiencies in 2026, DOE used the same market shares as used
in the no-new-standards case for the life-cycle cost analysis (described in chapter 8 of this TSD).
To project efficiencies for the no-new-standards case, DOE assumed no changes in the
shipments-weighted energy efficiency distribution over time.

To determine the standards-case efficiencies, DOE assumed a “roll-up” scenario to
establish the shipment-weighted efficiency for the year that standards are assumed to take effect.
DOE assumed that equipment efficiencies in the no-new-standard case that did not meet the
standard under consideration would “roll up” to meet the new standard level. DOE also assumed
that all equipment efficiencies in the no-new-standard case that exceeded the standard would not
be affected. Taking this standards-case efficiency distribution as a starting point, DOE assumed
no changes in the shipments-weighted energy efficiency distribution over time.
10.4
NATIONAL ENERGY SAVINGS
DOE calculated the NES associated with the difference between the no-new-standards
case and each standards case for electric motors. DOE’s analysis considers lifetime energy use of
equipment shipped in the 30-year period beginning in the compliance year—in this case, 2026.
The analysis period ends when all of the equipment shipped in the 30-year period are retired
from the stock.
DOE calculates NES expressed as:
• Site energy: Accounts for the electricity used,
• Primary energy: Accounts for the energy used to generate electricity,
10-9
•
Full-fuel-cycle (FFC) energy: Accounts for the energy consumed in extracting,
processing, and transporting or distributing primary fuels.
10.4.1 Definition
DOE calculates annual NES for a given year as the difference between the national
annual energy consumption (AEC) in a no-new-standards case and a standards case. Cumulative
energy savings are the sum of annual NES throughout the analysis period.
In determining national AEC, DOE first calculates AEC at the site. DOE calculates the
national annual site energy consumption by multiplying the number or stock of the equipment
(by vintage) by its unit energy consumption (also by vintage). National annual energy
consumption is calculated using the following equation:
Where:
AEC-s
STOCKV
UECV
V
y
𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐶𝐶-𝑠𝑠𝑦𝑦 = � 𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝐾𝐾𝑉𝑉 × 𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝐶𝐶𝑉𝑉
= annual national site energy consumption in quadrillion British thermal
units (quads),
= stock of equipment of vintage V that survive in the year for which DOE
calculates the AEC,
= annual energy consumption per unit,
= year in which the equipment was purchased as a new unit,
= year in the forecast.
The stock of an equipment depends on annual shipments and the lifetime of the
equipment. As described in chapter 9 of this TSD, DOE projected equipment shipments under
the no-new-standards case and standards cases. To avoid including savings attributable to
shipments displaced (units not purchased) because of standards, DOE used the projected
standards-case shipments and, in turn, the standards-case stock, to calculate the AEC for the nonew-standards case.
DOE applies conversion factors to site energy to calculate primary AEC and to primary
energy to calculate FFC AEC.
10.4.2 Annual Energy Consumption per Unit
The annual energy consumption per unit inputs used in the NIA are presented in Table
10.4.1 through Table 10.4.3. For electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431, DOE developed perunit annual energy consumption as a function of equipment energy efficiency for electric motors
(see section 10.2.1). DOE used the shipments-weighted energy efficiency distributions in the nonew-standards case and standards cases, along with the estimates of shipments-weighted annual
energy use by efficiency level, to estimate the shipments-weighted annual average per-unit
energy use under the no-new-standards and standards cases. See chapter 8 for more detail on the
10-10
efficiency distributions. Table 10.4.1 show the values applied by equipment class group and
horsepower range for electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25. For SNEMs and AO motors,
DOE did not apply any scaling and directly uses the results of the representative units.

In addition, as discussed in chapter 9, in each standard case, DOE accounted for the
possibility that some consumers may choose to purchase a synchronous electric motor (out of
scope of this preliminary analysis) rather than purchasing a more efficient NEMA Design A or B
electric motor between 1 and 100 horsepower. The shipments-weighted average annual energy
use of the substitute electric motor for each considered horsepower range is summarized in Table
10.4.4. See chapter 9 for more details.

10.4.3 Shipments and Equipment Stock
As described in chapter 9, DOE forecasted shipments of electric motors under the nonew-standard case and all standards cases. Because the increased total installed cost of more
efficient products may cause some customers to forego purchasing the product, shipments
forecasted under the standards cases may be lower than under the no-new-standards case. DOE
believes it would be inappropriate to count energy savings that result from a decline in shipments
because of standards. Therefore, each time a standards case was compared with the no-newstandards case, DOE used shipments associated with that particular standards case. As a result,
all of the calculated energy savings are attributable to higher energy efficiency in the standards
case.
The equipment stock in a given year is the number of equipment shipped from earlier
years that survive in that year. The shipments model, which feeds into the NIA, tracks the
number of units shipped each year. DOE assumes that equipment have an increasing probability
of retiring as they age. The probability of survival as a function of years since purchase is called
the survival function. These were derived from the lifetime distributions described in Chapter 8
of this TSD.
10.4.4 Site-to-Primary Energy Conversion Factor
The site-to-primary energy conversion factor is a multiplicative factor used to convert site
energy consumption into primary or source energy consumption, expressed in quads. For
electricity from the grid, primary energy consumption is equal to the heat content of the fuels
used to generate that electricity. c For natural gas and fuel oil, primary energy is equivalent to
site energy.
DOE used annual conversion factors based on the version of the National Energy
Modeling System (NEMS) d that corresponds to AEO 2021.7 The factors are marginal values,
which represent the response of the national power system to incremental changes in
For electricity sources such as nuclear energy and renewable energy, the primary energy is calculated using the
convention used by EIA (see appendix 10B).
d
For more information on NEMS, refer to the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration
documentation. A useful summary is National Energy Modeling System: An Overview 2000, DOE/EIA0581(2000), March 2000. EIA approves use of the name NEMS to describe only an official version of the model
with no modification to code or data.

consumption. The conversion factors change over time in response to projected changes in
generation sources (the types of power plants projected to provide electricity). Specific
conversion factors were generated from NEMS for a number of end uses in each sector.
Appendix 10B describes how DOE derived these factors.
Table 10.4.5 shows the conversion factors used for electric motors. DOE used the factors
corresponding to ‘other uses’ in the commercial and residential sector and factors that apply to
all uses in the industrial sector. DOE applied shipments-weighted average factors based on the
fraction of shipments sold to each sector as presented in chapter 8.

10.4.5 Full-Fuel-Cycle Multipliers
DOE uses an FFC multiplier to account for the energy consumed in extracting,
processing, and transporting or distributing primary fuels, which are referred to as upstream
activities. DOE developed FFC multipliers using data and projections generated for AEO 2021.
AEO 2021 provides extensive information about the energy system, including projections of
future oil, natural gas, and coal supplies; energy use for oil and gas field and refinery operations;
and fuel consumption and emissions related to electric power production. The information can be
used to define a set of parameters that represent the energy intensity of energy production.
The method used to calculate FFC energy multipliers is described in appendix 10B of this
TSD. The multipliers are applied to primary energy consumption. Table 10.4.6 shows the FFC
energy multipliers for selected years.

NET PRESENT VALUE
10.5.1 Definition
The NPV is the value in the present of a time-series of costs and savings. The NPV is
described by the equation:
NPV = PVS _ PVC
Where:
PVS
PVC
= present value of operating cost savings, e and
= present value of increased total installed costs (purchase price and any
installation costs).
DOE determines the PVS and PVC according to the following expressions.
PVS = ∑ OCSy × DFy
Where:
OCS
DF
TIC
y
PVC = ∑TICy × DFy
= total annual savings in operating costs summed over vintages of the stock;
= discount factor in each year;
= total annual increases in installed cost summed over vintages of the stock;
and
= year in the forecast.
DOE calculated the total annual consumer savings in operating costs by multiplying the
number or stock of the equipment (by vintage) by its per-unit operating cost savings (also by
vintage). DOE calculated the total annual increases in consumer product price by multiplying the
number or shipments of the product (by vintage) by its per-unit increase in consumer cost (also
by vintage). Total annual operating cost savings and total annual product installed cost increases
are calculated by the following equations.
OCS y = ∑ STOCK V × UOCSV

The operating cost includes energy, water (if relevant), repair, and maintenance.

total increase in installed equipment cost in year y.
shipments of the equipment in year y; and
annual per-unit increase in installed product cost in year y.
DOE determined the total increased product cost for each year from 2026 to 2055. DOE
determined the present value of operating cost savings for each year from 2026 to the year when
all units purchased in 2055 are estimated to retire (2084). DOE calculated installed cost and
operating cost savings as the difference between a standards case and a no-new-standards case.
As with the calculation of NES, DOE did not use no-new-standards case shipments to calculate
total annual installed costs and operating cost savings. To avoid including savings attributable to
shipments displaced by consumers deciding not to buy higher-cost products, DOE used the
standards-case projection of shipments and, in turn, the standards-case stock, to calculate these
quantities.
DOE developed a discount factor from the national discount rate and the number of years
between the “present” (year to which the sum is being discounted) and the year in which the
costs and savings occur.
10.5.2 Total Installed Cost
The total installed cost inputs used in the NIA are presented in Table 10.5.1 through
Table 10.5.3. For electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431, DOE developed total installed costs
values as a function of equipment energy efficiency for electric motors (see section 10.2.2). DOE
used the shipments-weighted energy efficiency distributions for the no-new-standards case and
standards cases, along with the estimates of shipments-weighted total installed costs by
efficiency level, to estimate the shipments-weighted total installed costs under the no-newstandards and standards cases. Table 10-8 show the values applied by equipment class group and
horsepower range. For SNEMs and AO motors, DOE did not apply any scaling and directly uses
the results of the representative units.

In addition, as discussed in chapter 9, in each standard case, DOE accounted for the
possibility that some consumers may choose to purchase a synchronous electric motor (out of
scope of this preliminary analysis) rather than purchasing a more efficient NEMA Design A or B
electric motor between 1 and 100 horsepower. DOE calculated the shipments-weighted average
total installed costs of the synchronous motor as follows:
𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 = 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠

Annual Operating Costs Savings
Per-unit annual operating costs encompass the annual costs for energy, repair, and
maintenance. DOE determined the savings in per-unit annual energy cost by multiplying the
savings in per-unit annual energy consumption by the appropriate energy price, and any
associated costs or savings for repair and maintenance. For substitute motors, DOE assumed the
repair cost would be twice as much as the cost of a baseline NEMA A and B electric motor,
based on input from manufacturer interviews.
As described in chapter 8 of this TSD, to estimate energy prices in future years, DOE
multiplied the recent electricity prices by a projection of annual national-average commercial and
industrial electricity prices.
The total savings in annual operating costs at a given EL is the product of the annual
operating cost savings per unit under that standard and the number of units of each vintage. This
approach accounts for differences in savings in annual operating costs from year to year.
10.5.4 Discount Factor
DOE multiplies monetary values in future years by a discount factor to determine present
values. The discount factor (DF) is described by the equation:
DF =
Where:
r
=
y =
1
(1 + r )
( y _ yp )
discount rate,
year of the monetary value, and
10-19
yP
=
year in which the present value is being determined.
DOE uses both a 3-percent and a 7-percent real discount rate when estimating national
impacts. Those discount rates were applied in accordance with the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB)’s guidance to Federal agencies on developing regulatory analyses (OMB Circular
A-4, September 17, 2003, and section E., “Identifying and Measuring Benefits and Costs,”
therein). DOE defined the present year as 2021.
10.5.5 Present Value of Increased Installed Costs and Savings
The present value of increased installed costs is the annual increase in installed cost for
each year (i.e., the difference between the standards case and no-new-standards), discounted to
the present and summed over the forecast period (2026–2055). The increase in total installed cost
refers to both product and installation costs associated with the higher energy efficiency of
products purchased under a standards case compared to the no-new-standards case. f DOE
calculated annual increases in installed cost as the difference in total cost of new products
installed each year, multiplied by the shipments in the standards case.
The present value of operating cost savings is the annual savings in operating cost (the
difference between the no-new-standards case and a standards case), discounted to the present
and summed over the period that begins with the expected compliance date of potential standards
and ends when the last installed unit is retired from service. Savings represent decreases in
operating costs associated with the higher energy efficiency of products purchased in a standards
case compared to the no-new-standards case. Total annual operating cost savings are the savings
per unit multiplied by the number of units of each vintage that survive in a particular year.
Because a product consumes energy throughout its lifetime, the energy consumption for units
installed in a given year includes energy consumed until the unit is retired from service.
10.6
RESULTS
10.6.1 National Energy Savings
This section provides NES results that DOE calculated for each EL analyzed. NES results
are shown as savings in primary and FFC energy. Because DOE based the inputs to the NIA
model on weighted-average values, results are discrete point values, rather than a distribution of
values as produced by the life-cycle cost and payback period analysis. National energy savings
for high and low economic growth scenarios are presented in appendix 10C of this TSD.
For the NIA, DOE excludes sales tax from the product cost, because sales tax is essentially a transfer and therefore
is more appropriate to include when estimating consumer benefits.

10.6.2 Net Present Value
This section provides results of calculating the NPV of consumer benefits for each EL
considered for electric motors. Results, which are cumulative, are shown as the discounted value
of the net savings in dollar terms. DOE based the inputs to the NIA model on weighted-average
values, yielding results that are discrete point values, rather than a distribution of values as in the
LCC and payback period analysis.
Table 10.6.7 and Table 10.6.12 show the results of calculating the NPV for the ELs
analyzed for electric motors, at both a 3-percent and a 7-percent discount rate. The NPVs for
high and low economic growth scenarios are presented in appendix 10C of this TSD.

CONSUMER SUBGROUP ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW
The consumer subgroup analysis evaluates potential impacts from new standards on any
identifiable groups of consumers who may be disproportionately affected by a national energy
conservation standard. When appropriate, DOE will conduct this analysis as one of the analyses
for the notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) should DOE determine to issue a NOPR. DOE
will accomplish this, in part, by analyzing the life-cycle costs (LCCs) and payback periods
(PBPs) for the identified consumer subgroups. DOE will evaluate variations in regional energy
prices, energy use, and installation and operational costs that might affect the impacts of a
standard to consumer subgroups. To the extent possible, DOE will obtain estimates of each input
parameter’s variability and will consider this variability in its calculation of consumer impacts.
DOE will determine the impact on consumer subgroups using the LCC Spreadsheet
Model. The standard LCC analysis (described in chapter 8) focuses on the consumers that use
electric motors. DOE can use the LCC Spreadsheet Model to analyze the LCC for any subgroup
by sampling only that subgroup. (Chapter 8 explains in detail the inputs to the model used in
determining LCC and PBPs.)

CHAPTER 12. PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS MANUFACTURER IMPACT ANALYSIS
12.1
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the manufacturer impact analysis (“MIA”) is to identify and quantify the impacts
of any potential new and/or amended energy conservation standards on manufacturers. The Process Rule
provides guidance for conducting this analysis with input from manufacturers and other interested parties.
The U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) will apply this methodology to its evaluation of any energy
conservation standards for electric motors. DOE will consider a wide range of quantitative and qualitative
industry impacts. For example, a particular standard level could require changes to manufacturing
practices, production equipment, raw materials, etc. DOE will identify and analyze these manufacturer
impacts during the notice of proposed rulemaking (“NOPR”) stage of the analysis.
DOE announced changes to the MIA format through a report issued to Congress in January 2006
entitled “Energy Conservation Standards Activities.” (as required by section 141 of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005 (“EPACT 2005”)) 1 Previously, DOE did not report any MIA results before the NOPR phase;
however, under this new format, DOE collects, evaluates, and reports preliminary information and data.
12.2
METHODOLOGY
DOE conducts the MIA in three phases, and further tailors the analytical framework based on the
comments it receives. In Phase I, DOE creates an industry profile to characterize the industry and identify
important issues that require consideration. In Phase II, DOE prepares an industry cash-flow model and
considers what information it might gather in manufacturer interviews. In Phase III, DOE interviews
manufacturers and assesses the impacts of standards both quantitatively and qualitatively. DOE assesses
industry and subgroup cash flows and industry net present value (“INPV”) using the Government
Regulatory Impact Model (“GRIM”). DOE then assesses impacts on competition, manufacturing
capacity, employment, and cumulative regulatory burden.
Phase I: Industry Profile
In Phase I of the MIA, DOE collects pertinent qualitative and quantitative information about the
market and manufacturer financials. This includes research and development (“R&D”) expenses; selling,
general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses; capital expenditures; property, plant, and equipment
expenses; tax rate; and depreciation rate for electric motor manufacturers, as well as wages, employment,
and industry costs for electric motors. Sources of information include reports published by industry
groups, trade journals, the U.S. Census Bureau, and Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 10 K

www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/pdfs/congressional_report_013106.pdf

filings, as well as prior DOE rulemakings related to electric motors. The initial estimates of financial
parameters are presented in section 12.3.1.
In addition, DOE develops a comprehensive manufacturer list, develops market share estimates,
and evaluates consolidation trends, as presented in the market and technology assessment.
Characterizations of the current equipment offerings and market efficiency distributions are presented in
the engineering analysis and shipment analysis.
Phase II: Industry Cash Flow Analysis and Interview Guide
Phase II activities occur after publication of the preliminary analysis. In Phase II, DOE performs
a preliminary industry cash-flow analysis and prepares an interview guide for manufacturer interviews, if
conducted.
Industry Cash Flow Analysis
DOE uses the GRIM to analyze the financial impacts of potential new and/or amended energy
conservation standards. The implementation of these standards may require manufacturer investments,
raise manufacturer production costs (“MPCs”), and/or affect revenue possibly through higher prices and
lower shipments. The GRIM uses a suite factors to determine annual cash flows for the years leading up
to the compliance date of new and/or amended energy conservation standards and for 30 years after
implementation. These factors include industry financial parameters, annual expected revenues, costs of
goods sold, SG&A expenses, taxes, and capital expenditures. Inputs to the GRIM include financial
information, MPCs, shipment forecasts, and price forecasts developed in other analyses. Financial
parameters are based on publicly available data and any confidentially submitted manufacturer
information. DOE compares the GRIM results for potential standard levels against the results for the nonew-standards case, in which energy conservation standards are not established and/or amended. The
financial impact of analyzed new and/or amended energy conservation standards is the difference
between the two sets of discounted annual cash flows.
Interview Guide
When feasible, DOE conducts interviews with manufacturers to gather information on the effects
new and/or amended energy conservation standards could have on revenues and finances, direct
employment, capital assets, and industry competitiveness. These interviews take place during Phase III of
the MIA. Before the interviews, DOE distributes an interview guide that will help identify the impacts of
potential standard levels on individual manufacturers or subgroups of manufacturers within the electric
motor industry. The interview guide covers financial parameters, MPCs, shipment projections, market
share, equipment mix, conversion costs, markups and profitability, assessment of the impact on
competition, manufacturing capacity, and other relevant topics.
12-2
Phase III: Industry and Subgroup Analysis
Phase III activities occur after publication of the preliminary analysis. These activities include
manufacturer interviews, if conducted; revision of the industry cash flow analysis; manufacturer subgroup
analyses, where appropriate; an assessment of the impacts on industry competition, manufacturing
capacity, direct employment, and the cumulative regulatory burden; and other qualitative impacts.
Manufacturer Interviews
DOE supplements the information gathered in Phase I and the cash-flow analysis constructed in
Phase II with information gathered through interviews with manufacturers and written comments from
stakeholders during Phase III.
DOE conducts detailed interviews with manufacturers to gain insight into the potential impacts of
any new and/or amended energy conservation standards on sales, direct employment, capital assets, and
industry competitiveness. Generally, interviews are scheduled well in advance to provide every
opportunity for key individuals to be available for comment. Although a written response to the
questionnaire is acceptable, DOE prefers interactive interviews, if possible, which help clarify responses
and provide the opportunity to identify additional issues.
A non-disclosure agreement allows DOE to consider confidential or sensitive information in the
decision-making process. Confidential information, however, is not made available in the public record.
At most, sensitive or confidential information may be aggregated and presented in the form of industrywide representations.
Revised Industry Cash Flow Analysis
During interviews, DOE requests information about profitability impacts, necessary plant
changes, and other manufacturing impacts. Following any such interviews, DOE revises the preliminary
cash-flow prepared in Phase II based on the feedback it receives during interviews.
Manufacturer Subgroup Analysis
The use of average cost assumptions to develop an industry cash flow estimate may not
adequately assess differential impacts of potential new and/or amended energy conservation standards
among manufacturer subgroups. Smaller manufacturers, niche players, and manufacturers exhibiting a
cost structure that differs largely from the industry average could be more negatively or positively
affected. DOE customarily uses the results of the industry characterization to group manufacturers with
similar characteristics. When possible, DOE discusses the potential subgroups that have been identified
for the analysis in manufacturer interviews. DOE asks manufacturers and other interested parties to
suggest what subgroups or characteristics are most appropriate for the analysis. One subgroup commonly
identified is small business manufacturers.
12-3
Competitive Impact Assessment
EPCA directs DOE to consider the impact of any lessening of competition, as determined in
writing by the Attorney General, that is likely to result from a proposed standard. (42 U.S.C.
6295(o)(2)(B)(i)(V)) It also directs the Attorney General to determine the impact, if any, of any lessening
of competition likely to result from a proposed standard and to transmit such determination to the
Secretary within 60 days of the publication of a proposed rule, together with an analysis of the nature and
extent of the impact. (42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(B)(ii)) Furthermore, as part of the MIA, DOE evaluates the
potential impact of standards to create asymmetric cost increases for manufacturer sub-groups, shifts in
competition due to proprietary technologies, and business risks due to limited supplier availability or raw
material constraints.
Manufacturing Capacity Impact
One of the potential outcomes of new and/or amended energy conservation standards is the
obsolescence of existing manufacturing assets, including tooling and other investments. The manufacturer
interview guide has a series of questions to help identify impacts on manufacturing capacity, specifically
capacity utilization and plant location decisions in the U.S. with and without new and/or amended energy
conservation standards; the ability of manufacturers to upgrade or remodel existing facilities to
accommodate the new requirements; the nature and value of any stranded assets; and estimates for any
one-time restructuring or other charges, where applicable.
Direct Employment Impacts
The impact of potential new and/or amended energy conservation standards on direct
employment is an important consideration in DOE’s analysis. Manufacturer interviews aid in assessing
how domestic employment patterns might be impacted by new and/or amended energy conservation
standards. Typically, the interview guide contains a series of questions that are designed to explore
current employment trends in the electric motor industry and to solicit manufacturers’ views on changes
in direct employment patterns that may result from either new or increased standard levels. These
questions focus on current employment levels at production facilities, expected future direct employment
levels with and without changes in energy conservation standards, differences in workforce skills, and
employee retraining.
Cumulative Regulatory Burden
DOE seeks to mitigate the overlapping effects on manufacturers of potential new and/or amended
energy conservation standards and other Federal regulatory actions affecting the same
products/equipment or companies within a short timeframe. DOE analyzes and considers the impact of
multiple, equipment-specific regulatory actions on manufacturers.

already presented in the market and technology analysis, engineering analysis, or shipments analysis.
Initial Financial Parameters
For electric motors, DOE identified 24 publicly listed manufacturers of the electric motors
covered by this rulemaking. DOE chose to begin the analysis of industry financial parameters with values
used in the May 2014 Final Rule. 2 The May 2014 Final Rule financial parameters were vetted by multiple
manufacturers in confidential interviews and went through public notice and comment. The results for
electric motors are the most robust equipment-specific estimates that are publicly available. DOE
compared these values with the financials of four major publicly traded electric motor manufacturers to
confirm that the parameters were still relevant. 3 DOE noted that tax rates estimates from before 2018 are
not relevant for modeling future cash-flows due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 4, which was signed
into law in December 2017 and changed the maximum Federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21
percent. Table 12.3.1 below shows DOE’s initial financial parameter estimates. DOE will further refine
these values using feedback from manufacturer and public comments.

The manufacturer selling price (“MSP”) is the price manufacturers charge their first customers.
The MSP equals the MPC multiplied by the manufacturer markup. The manufacturer markup covers all
electric motor manufacturer’s non-production costs (e.g., SG&A, R&D, and interest) and profit. The MSP
is different from the cost the end-user pays because there are additional markups from entities along the
distribution chain between the manufacturer and the end-user.
DOE considered the manufacturer markups used in the May 2014 Final Rule to be the most
robust equipment-specific data available. DOE estimated the industry average manufacturer markup for
the analyzed electric motors at or below 5-horsepower to be 1.37 and for the analyzed electric motors
above 5-horsepower to be 1.45.
Manufacturer Subgroups
DOE performed a preliminary investigation into small business manufacturers as a subgroup for
consideration in subsequent stages of the electric motor rulemaking. DOE relied on the Small Business
Association (“SBA”) size standards for determining the threshold for an entity to be a small business. The
SBA size standards are set based on the North American Classification System (“NAICS”) code. For
NAICS code 335312, described as “motor and generator manufacturing,” the size threshold is 1,250
employees for an entity to be a small business. The size threshold is based on enterprise-wide
employment, which includes enterprise subsidiaries and branches, as well as unrelated establishments of
the parent company.
DOE identified six potential companies that meet the SBA definition of a small businesses and
that manufacture electric motors in the United States. DOE will continue its investigation of small
business manufacturers in future phases of the MIA through manufacturer interviews and the notice and
comment process.
Cumulative Regulatory Burden
While any one regulation may not impose a significant burden on manufacturers, the combined
effects of several impending regulations may have significant consequences for individual manufacturers,
groups of manufacturers, or entire industries. In the cumulative regulatory burden analysis, DOE
considers expenditures associated with meeting other Federal, equipment-specific regulations that occur
within the cumulative regulatory burden analysis timeframe. The cumulative regulatory burden analysis
timeframe is a seven-year period that covers the three years before the compliance year, the compliance
year, and the three years after the compliance year of any new and/or amended energy conservation
standards for electric motors.
In the MIA’s Phase III (as described in section 12.2.3 of this TSD), which is conducted prior to
the NOPR publication, manufacturer interviews help DOE identify potential opportunities to coordinate
regulatory actions in a manner that mitigates cumulative impacts, such as multiple successive redesigns of
the same equipment with a short period of time. Some electric motor manufacturers might produce other
products or equipment that are regulated by other DOE energy conservation standards. The exact
regulations contributing to cumulative regulatory burden will be determined once a compliance date is
proposed in the NOPR phase of the energy conservation standards rulemaking.

CHAPTER 13. EMISSIONS IMPACT ANALYSIS
13.1
OVERVIEW
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) conducts an emissions analysis for the notice of
proposed rulemaking (NOPR) stage should DOE determine to issue a NOPR. In the emissions
analysis, DOE estimates the reduction in power sector combustion emissions of carbon dioxide
(CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulfur dioxide (SO2), mercury (Hg), methane (CH4) and nitrous
oxide (N2O) from potential energy conservation standards for the considered products, as well as
emissions at the building site if applicable. In addition, DOE estimates emissions impacts in
production activities (extracting, processing, and transporting fuels) that provide the energy
inputs to power plants and for site combustion. These are referred to as “upstream” emissions.
Together, these emissions account for the full-fuel-cycle (FFC). In accordance with DOE’s FFC
Statement of Policy (76 FR 51282 (August 18, 2011)), the FFC analysis includes impacts on
emissions of methane and nitrous oxide, both of which are recognized as greenhouse gases.
DOE conducts the emissions analysis using marginal emissions factors that are primarily
derived from data in the latest version of the Energy Information Administration’s (EIA’s)
Annual Energy Outlook (AEO), supplemented by data from other sources. EIA prepares the AEO
using the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS).a Each annual version of NEMS
incorporates the projected impacts of existing air quality regulations on emissions.
Site emissions of CO2 and NOX are estimated using emissions intensity factors from a
publication of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).1 Combustion emissions of CH4 and
N2O are estimated using emissions intensity factors published by the EPA GHG Emissions
Factors Hub.b The FFC upstream emissions are estimated based on the methodology developed
by Coughlin (2013).2 The upstream emissions include both emissions from fuel combustion
during extraction, processing and transportation of fuel, and “fugitive” emissions (direct leakage
to the atmosphere) of CH4 and CO2.

CHAPTER 14. MONETIZATION OF EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS BENEFITS
OVERVIEW
DOE may consider the estimated monetary benefits likely to result from the reduced
emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O, NOX and SO2 that are expected to result from each of the potential
standard levels considered in the next phase of the rulemaking, should DOE proceed to a NOPR.
Currently, in compliance with the preliminary injunction issued on February 11, 2022, in
Louisiana v. Biden, No. 21-cv-1074-JDC-KK (W.D. La.), DOE is not monetizing the costs of
greenhouse gas emissions.
To estimate the monetary value of reduced NOX and SO2 emissions from electricity
generation attributable to the standard levels it considers, DOE uses benefit-per-ton estimates
derived from analysis conducted by the EPA. For NOX and SO2 emissions from combustion at
the site of product use, DOE uses another set of benefit-per-ton estimates published by the EPA.

CHAPTER 15. UTILITY IMPACT ANALYSIS
15.1
OVERVIEW
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) analyzes the changes in electric installed capacity
and power generation that result for each considered trial standard level for the notice of
proposed rulemaking (NOPR) stage should DOE determine to issue a NOPR.
The utility impact analysis is based on output of the DOE/Energy Information
Administration (EIA)’s National Energy Modeling System (NEMS).1 NEMS is a public domain,
multi-sectored, partial equilibrium model of the U.S. energy sector. Each year, DOE/EIA uses
NEMS to produce an energy forecast for the United States, the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO).
The EIA publishes a reference case, which incorporates all existing energy-related policies at the
time of publication, and a variety of side cases which analyze the impact of different policies,
energy price and market trends.
DOE’s methodology is based on results published for the most recent Annual Energy
Outlook (AEO) Reference case, as well as a number of side cases that estimate the economywide impacts of changes to energy supply and demand. DOE estimates the marginal impacts of
reduction in energy demand on the energy supply sector. In principle, marginal values should
provide a better estimate of the actual impact of energy conservation standards. DOE uses the
side cases to estimate the marginal impacts of reduced energy demand on the utility sector. These
marginal factors are estimated based on the changes to electricity sector generation, installed
capacity, fuel consumption and emissions in the AEO Reference case and various side cases. The
methodology is described in more detail in K. Coughlin, “Utility Sector Impacts of Reduced
Electricity Demand.”2,3
The output of this analysis is a set of time-dependent coefficients that capture the change
in electricity generation, primary fuel consumption, installed capacity and power sector
emissions due to a unit reduction in demand for a given end use. These coefficients are
multiplied by the stream of electricity savings calculated in the NIA to provide estimates of
selected utility impacts of new or amended energy conservation standards.

CHAPTER 16. EMPLOYMENT IMPACT ANALYSIS
16.1
OVERVIEW
Energy conservation standards can impact employment both directly and indirectly. Direct
employment impacts are changes in the number of employees at the plants that produce the
covered electric motors resulting from standards, and are evaluated in the manufacturer impact
analysis, as described in chapter 12 of this Technical Support Document. The employment
impact analysis described in this chapter covers indirect employment impacts which may result
from expenditures shifting between goods (the substitution effect) and changes in income and
overall expenditure levels (the income effect) that occur due to the implementation of standards.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) conducts this analysis in the notice of proposed
rulemaking (NOPR) stage should DOE determine to issue a NOPR.
DOE expects new or amended energy conservation standards to decrease energy
consumption and, therefore, reduce expenditures for energy. In turn, savings in energy
expenditures may be redirected for new investment and other items. Notwithstanding, energy
conservation standards may potentially increase the purchase price of electric motors, including
the retail price plus sales tax, and may increase installation costs.
Using an input-output model of the U.S. economy, the employment impact analysis seeks
to estimate the year-to-year effect of these expenditure impacts on net national employment.
DOE intends the employment impact analysis to quantify the indirect employment impacts of
these expenditure changes.
To investigate the indirect employment impacts, DOE uses the Pacific Northwest National
Laboratory’s (PNNL’s) “Impact of Sector Energy Technologies” (ImSET 3.1.1) model.1 PNNL
developed ImSET, a computer-based I-O model of the U.S. economy with structural coefficients
to characterize economic flows between sectors, for DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy. ImSET is a special-purpose version of the U.S. Benchmark National InputOutput (I-O) model, which has been designed to estimate the national employment and income
effects of energy saving technologies that are deployed by DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy. ImSET’s sector multipliers were constructed from the detailed U.S.
Bureau of Economic Analysis benchmark I-O table for 2007, by collapsing to the 187 sectors
most relevant to industrial, commercial, and residential building energy use. In comparison with
the previous versions of the model used in earlier rulemakings, this version allows for more
complete and automated analysis of the essential features of energy efficiency investments in
buildings, industry, transportation, and the electric power sectors.

CHAPTER 17. REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS
17.1
INTRODUCTION
Under appendix A to subpart C of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 430,
Procedures for Consideration of New or Revised Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer
Products (Process Rule) the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is committed to explore nonregulatory alternatives to energy conservation standards. Accordingly, DOE will prepare a draft
regulatory impact analysis pursuant to Executive Order 12866, “Regulatory Planning and
Review,” which will be subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget’s Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs for the notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR). Pursuant to
the Process Rule, DOE has identified five major alternatives to standards that represent feasible
policy options to reduce the energy consumption of electric motors. It will evaluate each
alternative in terms of its ability to achieve significant energy savings at a reasonable cost, and
will compare the effectiveness of each alternative to the effectiveness of the proposed standard.
Table 17.1.1 lists the non-regulatory means of achieving energy savings that DOE
proposes to analyze. The technical support document (TSD) prepared in support of DOE’s
NOPR will include a complete quantitative analysis of each alternative, the methodology for
which is briefly addressed below.

METHODOLOGY
DOE will use the national impact analysis (NIA) spreadsheet model for electric motors to
calculate the national energy savings and the net present value (NPV) corresponding to each
candidate standard. The NIA model is discussed in chapter 10 of the TSD. To compare each
alternative quantitatively to the proposed energy conservation standards, DOE will need to
quantify the effect of each alternative on the purchase of energy efficient electric motors. DOE
will create an integrated NIA-RIA model, built upon the NIA model, where DOE will make the
appropriate revisions to the inputs in the NIA models. Key inputs that DOE may revise in the
NIA-RIA model are:
•
Electric motors market shares of products meeting target efficiency levels (identical to
the trial standard levels for the mandatory standards)
17-1
•
Shipments of electric motors when those are affected by the proposed energy
conservation standards.
The following are the key measures of the impact of each alternative:
•
National energy savings: Cumulative national energy use from the no-new-standards case
projection minus the alternative-policy-case projection.
•
Net present value: The value of future operating cost savings from the equipment bought
during the period from the required compliance date of the new standard [2026 to 2055].
DOE will calculate the NPV as the difference between the present value of equipment
and operating expenditures (including energy) in the no-new-standards case, and the
present value of expenditures under each alternative-policy case. DOE will calculate
operating expenses (including energy costs) for the life of the equipment. It will discount
future operating and equipment expenditures to 2021 using a 7-percent and 3-percent real
discount rate.

APPENDIX 6A. SUMMARY OF REQUEST FOR COMMENTS
2A.1
REQUESTS FOR COMMENTS
This appendix summarizes the requests for comments presented in Chapter 2.
2A.1.1
Preliminary Manufacturer Impact Analysis
DOE conducts the manufacturer impact analysis (“MIA”) in three phases and further
tailors the analytical framework based on comments received from interested parties. In Phase 1,
DOE creates an industry profile to characterize the industry and typically conducts manufacturer
interviews to identify important issues that require special consideration. The preliminary
analysis TSD, chapter 12, presents the results of the Phase 1 analysis. In Phase 2, DOE prepares
an industry cash-flow model and an interview questionnaire to guide subsequent discussions if
manufacturer interviews are conducted. In Phase 3, DOE typically interviews manufacturers and
assesses the impacts of analyzed amended energy conservation standards both quantitatively and
qualitatively. If DOE determines that amended standards need to be proposed, a NOPR TSD
presents the results of Phase 2 and Phase 3 analyses.
During the preliminary MIA for this analysis, DOE identified potential impacts to
manufacturers of electric motors through confidential interviews. Chapter 12 of the preliminary
TSD includes details on the key issues identified by DOE during manufacturer interviews.
2A.1.2

category of electric motors analyzed, as well as for the additional categories of electric motors
that DOE may consider including in the NOPR (i.e., electric motors above 500 horsepower;
electric motors that are synchronous motors; submersible electric motors, and inverter-only
electric motors). DOE also requests data on the fraction of sales that go through these channels.
See chapter 6 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.24

for each category of electric motor analyzed, and for electric motors that DOE may consider
including in the NOPR (i.e., electric motors above 500 horsepower; electric motors that are
synchronous motors; submersible electric motors, and inverter-only electric motors).
Specifically, DOE requests comments on the distribution of electric motors by sector,
applications, and region used to characterize the consumer sample for electric motors analyzed
and for electric motors that DOE may consider including in the NOPR (i.e., electric motors
above 500 horsepower; electric motors that are synchronous motors; submersible electric motors,
and inverter-only electric motors). See chapter 7 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.25
Average Annual Operating Load
DOE requests comments on the distribution of average annual operating load by
application and sector used to characterize the variability in energy use for currently regulated
electric motors, SNEMs, and AO electric motors. See chapter 7 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.26
Load Profiles
DOE seeks input on data sources that DOE can use to help characterize load profiles (i.e.,
percentage of annual operating hours spent at specified load points) for currently regulated
electric motors, SNEMs, and AO electric motors, including the distribution of those profiles by
application and sector. See chapter 7 of the preliminary TSD.
2A-4
2A.1.27
Usage Profiles for Electric Motors Considered in the NOPR as Expanded Scope
DOE seeks input on data sources that DOE can use to help characterize the variability in
annual energy consumption for additional categories of electric motors that may be considered
for inclusion in the NOPR (i.e., electric motors above 500 horsepower; electric motors that are
synchronous motors; submersible electric motors, and inverter-only electric motors).
Specifically, DOE is requesting data and information related to: (1) the distribution of motor
average annual operating loads by application and sector; and (2) applicable the load profiles
(i.e., percentage of annual operating hours spent at specified load points), including the
distribution of those profiles by application and sector. See chapter 7 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.28
Annual Operating Hours
DOE is requesting comments on the distribution of annual operating hours by application
and sector used to characterize the variability in energy use of currently regulated electric
motors, SNEMs, and AO electric motors. See chapter 7 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.29
Annual Operating Hours for Electric Motors Considered in the NOPR as
Expanded Scope
DOE seeks input on data sources that DOE can use to help establish the distribution of
annual operating hours by application and sector for each additional category of electric motor
that may be considered in the expanded scope in the NOPR (i.e., electric motors above 500
horsepower; electric motors that are synchronous motors; submersible electric motors, and
inverter-only electric motors). See chapter 7 of the preliminary TSD.

Impact of Speed
DOE requests comment on its assumption that 20 percent of consumers with fan, pump,
and air compressor applications would be negatively impacted by higher operating speeds. DOE
seeks additional information and analysis on projected impacts related to any increases in motor
nominal speed. See chapter 7 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.31
Installation Costs
DOE requests feedback and data on whether the installation costs at higher efficiency
levels differ in comparison to the baseline installation costs for currently regulated electric
motors, SNEMs, and AO electric motors. To the extent that these costs differ, DOE seeks

horsepower, DOE seeks information on how these installation costs may differ compared to the
installation costs of a NEMA Design A or B motor at the baseline efficiency level.
2A.1.33
Repair Costs
DOE seeks comment and data regarding the repair costs (by efficiency level) for the
electric motors analyzed. DOE also seeks comment and data on the repair frequency assumptions
used in the LCC and PBP analyses. Among the issues of interest to DOE is whether DOE’s
analysis should continue to assume that all electric motors between 21 and 100 horsepower are
repaired once during their lifetime, or if the analysis should treat some electric motors with
shorter lifetimes as not being repaired (e.g., electric motors with sampled lifetimes that are lower
than half the average motor lifetime). Similarly, DOE requests comment on whether its analysis
should continue to assume that all electric motors between 101 and 500 horsepower are repaired
twice during their lifetime, or to treat some electric motors with shorter lifetimes as not being
repaired (e.g., electric motors with sampled lifetimes that are lower than a third of the average
motor lifetime). See chapter 8 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.34
Maintenance Costs
DOE requests feedback and data on whether maintenance costs at higher efficiency levels
differ in comparison to the baseline maintenance costs for any of the representative units
analyzed. To the extent that these costs differ, DOE seeks supporting data and the reasons for
those differences. See chapter 8 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.35
Maintenance Costs for Electric Motors Considered in the NOPR as Expanded
Scope

efficiency level for each additional category of electric motor that may be considered in the
expanded scope in the NOPR (i.e., electric motors above 500 horsepower; electric motors that
are synchronous motors; submersible electric motors, and inverter-only electric motors).
Specifically, DOE seeks information on how these repair and maintenance costs may differ
compared to the maintenance costs of a NEMA Design A or B motor at the baseline efficiency
level at a given horsepower. See chapter 8 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.36
Lifetimes
DOE requests comments on the equipment lifetimes (both in years and in mechanical
hours) used for each representative unit considered in the LCC and PBP analyses. See chapter 8
of the preliminary TSD.
2A-6
2A.1.37
Lifetimes for Electric Motors Considered in the Expanded Scope
DOE seeks data and information to help establish equipment lifetimes (either in years or
in mechanical hours) for each additional category of electric motor that may considered in the
NOPR. To the extent that these lifetimes differ by horsepower or sector, DOE seeks supporting
data to characterize these differences. See chapter 8 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.38
Efficiency Distributions in the No-new Standards Case
DOE requests comments on the efficiency distribution in the no-new standards case for
currently regulated electric motors, SNEMs, and AO electric motors. See chapter 8 of the
preliminary TSD.

Efficiency Distributions in the No-new Standards Case for Electric Motors
Considered in the Expanded Scope
DOE seeks information and data to help establish efficiency distribution in the no-new
standards case for each additional electric motors category that may be considered in the NOPR
expanded scope and by horsepower. See chapter 8 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.40
Efficiency Distribution Trends
DOE requests data and information on any trends in the electric motor market that could
be used to forecast expected trends in market share by efficiency levels for each equipment class
(for both currently regulated electric motors, SNEMs, AO electric motors, and electric motors
that DOE may consider in the NOPR expanded scope). If disaggregated data are not available at
the equipment class level, DOE requests aggregated data at the equipment class group level. See
chapter 8 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.41
Shipments Analysis
DOE requests comment and additional data on its 2020 shipments estimates for electric
motors currently regulated under 10 CFR 431.25, SNEMs, and AO electric motors. DOE seeks
comment on the methodology used to project future shipments of electric motors. DOE seeks
information on other data sources that can be used to estimate future shipments. For this analysis,
DOE assumed that the fraction of shipments in each equipment class group and horsepower
range do not change over time. DOE requests information and additional data on whether there is
an expected shift from one horsepower range to another over time. In addition, DOE requests
comments on whether establishing different potential standards by horsepower would result in a
shift from one horsepower range to another over time. See chapter 9 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.42
Shipments Analysis for Electric Motors Considered in the Expanded Scope
DOE requests 2020 (or the most recently available) shipments data for each additional
category of electric motors that may be considered in the NOPR expanded scope by horsepower
and sector (i.e., residential, commercial, industrial, and agriculture). Specifically, DOE requests
2A-7
feedback on its shipments estimates presented in Table 2.39. In addition, DOE requests
information on the rate at which annual shipments of electric motors considered in the expanded
scope is expected to change in the next 5-10 years. If possible, DOE requests this information by
electric motor category. See chapter 9 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.43

motors due to any increase in efficiency. See chapter 10 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.46
Consumer Subgroup Analysis
DOE welcomes input regarding which, if any, consumer subgroups should be considered
when developing potential energy conservation standards for electric motors. See chapter 11 of
the preliminary TSD. See chapter 11 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.47
Emissions Analysis
DOE requests comment on its approach to conducting the emissions analysis for electric
motors. See chapter 13 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.48
Monetization of Emissions Reductions Benefits
DOE invites input on the proposed approach for estimating monetary benefits associated
with emissions reductions. See chapter 14 of the preliminary TSD.
2A.1.49

FAN-ON AND FAN-OFF TEST RESULTS FOR INTERNALLY-COOLED
SNEMS
In an attempt to characterize the typical energy losses due to the fan internally-cooled
motors experience during operation, DOE conducted efficiency tests on five SNEMs with the
internal fan attached and operating as designed, then removed the fan and conducted efficiency
tests for each motor according to NEMA MG-1 Section 34.4, a test procedure for measuring the
efficiency of air-over motors. The results of this testing are displayed in Table 5A.3.1.

*The resistive losses measured by the efficiency test were corrected to the temperature of the fan-on test to minimize differences
in losses that were not due to the energy consumed by the fan
5A-3
Since the energy consumed by the external fan is not recorded in air-over motor
efficiency tests according to NEMA Section 34.4, DOE set out to characterize the difference of
measurements of efficiency for the same motor tested under NEMA Section 34.4 (without an
internal fan) and typical IEEE 112 or 114 test methods (tested with the internal fan). DOE
modeled the relationship of fan loss in terms of percent of total loss vs. horsepower shown in
Figure 5A.3.1. Each point represents the average of tested data of the fan loss for various sized
motors and the dotted trendline used to characterize this relationship. For motors rated 1
horsepower and above, data for friction & windage losses (“F&W”) taken from IEEE 112 Test
Method B reports was used to estimate the losses due to the fan, with DOE estimating 90 percent
of F&W losses being due to the fan. DOE also set a minimum of fan losses as 1 percent of total
losses due to the poor behavior of this relationship at higher rated horsepower motors.

APPENDIX 8A. UNCERTAINTY AND VARIABILITY IN THE LIFE-CYCLE COST
AND PAYBACK PERIOD ANALYSES
INTRODUCTION
This appendix discusses uncertainty and variability and describes how the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) incorporated these into the life-cycle cost (LCC) and payback
period (PBP) analysis in this technical support document (TSD) for the Electric Motor energy
conservation standards (ECS) rulemaking. The two key approaches are (1) to use distributions to
capture uncertainties and variations in input variables when such distributions are reasonably
well defined, and (2) to use scenarios that capture the bounds of uncertainty when the bounds are
less well defined.
UNCERTAINTY AND VARIABILITY
DOE develops mathematical models to analyze the impacts of proposed energy
conservation standards. The models generate outputs (e.g., the LCC impact of proposed
standards) based on inputs that are often uncertain, variable, or both.
Variability means that the quantity of interest takes on different values at different times
or under different conditions. Variability may be caused by many factors. For example, the hours
of use of a lamp depend on environmental factors (e.g., diurnal variations in light) and behavioral
factors (e.g., the schedules and preferences of the inhabitants of a house). Manufacturing
irregularities can also cause variability. For example, 10 lamps of the same model may each have
slightly different power consumptions. DOE attempts to account for major sources of variability
in its analyses.
Uncertainty has many sources. Variability may lead to uncertainty in model inputs,
because analysts frequently must estimate the values of interest based on samples of a variable
quantity (for example, the hours of use of lighting in a home). Measurement uncertainty is
another source of uncertainty, which may result from instrumental uncertainties (resulting, for
example, from drift, bias, and precision of resolution) and human factors (e.g., variations in
experimental setup, errors in instrument readings or recordings). Uncertainty can also arise when
there is limited data available to estimate a particular parameter. DOE attempts to address the
major sources of uncertainties in its analyses.
APPROACHES TO UNCERTAINTY AND VARIABILITY
This section describes two approaches to address uncertainty and variability in numerical
modeling that in practice are often used in tandem, as they are in this rulemaking: (1) probability
analysis and (2) scenario analysis.
Probability analysis considers the probability that a variable has a given value over its
range of possible values. For quantities with variability (e.g., electricity rates in different
8A-1
households), data from surveys or other forms of measurement can be used to generate a
frequency distribution of numerical values to estimate the probability that the variable takes a
given value. By sampling values from the resulting distribution, it is possible to quantify the
impact of known variability in a particular variable on the outcome of the analysis. In this
analysis, DOE used probability distributions to estimate Electric Motor lifetime, annual
operating hours, part-load factors, discount rates, and other variables.
Unlike probability analysis, which considers the impact of known variability, scenario
analysis estimates the sensitivity of an analysis to sources of uncertainty and variability whose
probability distribution is not well known. Certain model inputs are modified to take a number of
different values, and models are re-analyzed, in a set of different model scenarios. Because only
selected inputs are changed in each scenario, the variability in the results for each scenario helps
to quantify the impact of uncertainty in the input parameters. Whereas it is relatively simple to
perform scenario analyses for a range of scenarios, scenario analyses provide no information
regarding the likelihood of any given scenario’s actually occurring.
Scenario and probability analysis provide some indication of the robustness of the policy
given the uncertainties and variability. A policy is robust when the impacts are acceptable over a
wide range of possible conditions.
PROBABILITY ANALYSIS AND THE USE OF MONTE CARLO
SIMULATION IN THE LCC AND PBP ANALYSES
To quantify the uncertainty and variability that exist in inputs to the LCC and PBP
analyses, DOE used Monte Carlo simulation and probability distributions to conduct probability
analyses.
Simulation refers to any analytical method meant to imitate a real-life system, especially
when other analyses are too mathematically complex or too difficult to reproduce. Without the
aid of simulation, a model will only reveal a single outcome, generally the most likely or average
scenario. Probabilistic risk analysis uses both a spreadsheet model and simulation to
automatically analyze the effect of varying inputs on the outputs of a modeled system. One type
of simulation is Monte Carlo simulation, which repeatedly generates random values for uncertain
variables, drawn from a probability distribution, to simulate a model.
For each uncertain variable, the range of possible values is controlled by a probability
distribution. The type of distribution selected is based on the conditions surrounding that
variable. Probability distribution types include normal, triangular, uniform, and Weibull
distributions, as well as custom distributions where needed. Example plots of these distributions
are shown in Figure 8A.3.1
8A-2

Figure 8A.3.1 Normal, Triangular, Uniform, Weibull, and Custom Probability
Distributions
During a simulation, multiple scenarios of a model are calculated by repeatedly sampling
values from the probability distributions for the uncertain variables and using those values for
that input. Monte Carlo simulations can consist of as many trials as desired, with larger numbers
of trials yielding more accurate average results. During a single trial, the simulation randomly
selects a value from the defined possibilities (the range and shape of the probability distribution)
for each uncertain variable and then recalculates the result for that trial.
The computer model DOE used to calculate the LCC and PBP relies on a Monte Carlo
simulation to incorporate uncertainty and variability into the analysis. The Monte Carlo
simulations randomly sample input values from the probability distributions and consumer
samples. The model calculated the LCC and PBP for equipment at each efficiency level for
10,000 consumers per representative unit per simulation run. The analytical results include a
distribution of 10,000 data points showing the range of LCC savings for a given efficiency level
relative to the no-new-standards case efficiency distribution.

APPENDIX 8B. REPAIR COST SENSITIVITY
INTRODUCTION
In the LCC analysis, as in the previous rulemaking, DOE relied on the following
assumptions when estimating the repair costs:
•
•
•
•
Electric motors at or below 20 horsepower (hp) are not repaired (i.e.,
representative units 1, 2 - when analyzed to represent the 6 to 20 hp range, and
representative unit 4)
Electric motors at or above 21 hp and below 100 hp are repaired once at half-life
(i.e., representative units 2 - when analyzed to represent the 21 to 50 hp range,
and representative unit 3 and 5);
Electric motors at or above 101 hp are repaired twice, at a third and two-third of
their lifetimes;
Fire Pump Electric Motors are not repaired (representative units 6, 7, and 8).
As in the previous rulemaking, DOE assumes 100 percent of consumers of representative
units that undergo at least one repair as listed above will repair the electric motors (once or twice
as listed above), regardless of the lifetime of the motor.
As a sensitivity analysis, for electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25, DOE considered an
alternative scenario, as follows:
•
•
Electric motors at or above 21 hp and below 100 hp are repaired once over their
lifetime, only if their lifetime is greater than half the average mechanical lifetime;
Electric motors at or above 101 hp and below 500 hp are repaired, once if their
lifetime is greater than one-third of the average mechanical lifetime, and twice if
their lifetime is greater than two-third of the average mechanical lifetime.
For example, for representative unit 4, if a consumer in the industrial sector (i.e., average
mechanical lifetime of 87,600 - see chapter 8) has an electric motor operating 3,000 hours and a
lifetime of 10 years, then DOE did not assume a repair because 10 × 3,000 = 30,000 hours and
30,000 is less than half of the average mechanical lifetime (87,600/2 = 43,800 hours).
RESULTS
Based on the alternative scenario discussed above, Table 8B.1.1 shows the fraction of consumers
having none, or one, or two repairs.

shown here.
*The results for each EL represent the average value if all purchasers in the sample use Electric Motors with that
efficiency level. The PBP is measured relative to the baseline Electric Motors.
** The calculation considers only affected consumers. It excludes purchasers whose purchasing decision would not
change under a standard set at the corresponding EL, i.e., those with zero LCC savings.

8D.1
INTRODUCTION: DISTRIBUTIONS USED FOR RESIDENTIAL
CONSUMER DISCOUNT RATES
The Department of Energy (“DOE”) derived consumer discount rates for the life-cycle
cost (LCC) analysis using data on interest or return rates for various types of debt and equity to
calculate a real effective discount rate for each household in the Federal Reserve Board’s Survey
of Consumer Finances (SCF) in 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019.1 To
account for variation among households in rates for each of the types, DOE sampled a rate for
each household in its building sample from a distribution of discount rates for each of six income
groups. This appendix describes the distributions used.
8D.1.1
Distribution of Rates for Equity Classes
Figure 8D.1.1 through Figure 8D.1.6 show the distribution of real interest rates for
different types of equity. Data for equity classes are not available from the Federal Reserve
Board’s SCF, so DOE derived data for these classes from national-level historical data (19912020). The rates for stocks are the annual returns on the Standard and Poor’s 500 for 1991–
2020.2 The interest rates associated with AAA corporate bonds were collected from Moody’s
time-series data for 1991–2020.3 Rates on Certificates of Deposit (“CD”s) accounts came from
Cost of Savings Index (“COSI”) data covering 1991–2020.4,a The interest rates associated with
state and local bonds (20-bond municipal bonds) were collected from Federal Reserve Board
economic data time-series for 1991–2020.9,b The interest rates associated with treasury bills (30Year treasury constant maturity rate) were collected from Federal Reserve Board economic data
time-series for 1991–2020.10,c Rates for money market accounts are based on three-month money
market account rates reported by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) from 1991–2020.12 Rates for savings accounts are assumed to be half the average real
money market rate. Rates for mutual funds are a weighted average of the stock rates and the
bond rates. d The 30-year average nominal interest rates are shown in Table 8D.1.1. DOE
adjusted the nominal rates to real rates using the annual inflation rate in each year (see Figure
8D.1.7). In addition, DOE adjusted the nominal rates to real effective rates by accounting for the
fact that interest on such equity types is taxable. The capital gains marginal tax rate varies for
The Wells COSI is based on the interest rates that the depository subsidiaries of Wells Fargo & Company pay to
individuals on certificates of deposit (CDs), also known as personal time deposits. Wells Fargo COSI started in
November 2009.5 From July 2007 to October 2009 the index was known as Wachovia COSI6 and from January
1984 to July 2007 the index was known as GDW (or World Savings) COSI.7,8
b
This index was discontinued in 2016. To calculate the 2017 and after values, DOE compared 1981-2020 data for
30-Year Treasury Constant Maturity Rate and Moody’s AAA Corporate Bond Yield to the 20-Bond Municipal
Bond Index data.3,9,10
c
From 2003-2005 there are no data. For 2003-2005, DOE used 20-Year Treasury Constant Maturity Rate.11
d
SCF reports what type of mutual funds the household has (e.g. stock mutual fund, savings bond mutual fund, etc.).
For mutual funds with a mixture of stocks and bonds, the mutual fund interest rate is a weighted average of the stock
rates (two-thirds weight) and the savings bond rates (one-third weight).

DISTRIBUTION OF REAL EFFECTIVE DISCOUNT RATES BY
INCOME GROUP
Real effective discount rates were calculated for each household of the SCF using the
method described in Chapter 8. Interest rates for asset types were as described in 8D.1.1. The
data source for the interest rates for mortgages, home equity loans, credit cards, installment
loans, other residence loans, and other lines of credit is the Federal Reserve Board’s SCF in
1995, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019. DOE adjusted the nominal rates to
real rates using the annual inflation rate in each year.
Using the appropriate SCF data for each year, DOE adjusted the nominal mortgage
interest rate and the nominal home equity loan interest rate for each relevant household in the
SCF for mortgage tax deduction and inflation. In cases where the effective interest rate is equal
to or below the inflation rate (resulting in a negative real interest rate), DOE set the real effective
interest rate to zero. Figure 8D.2.1 provides a graphical representation of the real effective
discount rate distributions by income group, while Table 8D.2.1 provides the full distributions as
used in the LCC analysis.

INTRODUCTION
The engineering analysis and life-cycle cost analysis focus on a limited number of
representative equipment classes (RU). For electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25 the
National Impact Analysis (NIA) relies on scaling relationships to develop MSP, installation costs,
and energy use values for non-representative equipment classes and develop shipments-weighted
inputs for each equipment class group by horsepower range. For small, non-small-electric-motor,
electric motors ("SNEM") that do not have air-over enclosures and air-over electric motors, no
scaling was performed and the NIA directly uses the MSP, installation cost, and energy use value.
See Table 10A.1.1. This appendix presents the manufacturing selling prices (MSPs) and weights
that were used in the calculation of shipments weighted average MSPs and weights when scaling
was performed. For electric motors regulated at 10 CFR 431.25 See Table 10A.1.2 through Table
10A.1.7. The scaling equations are further explained in chapter 10 of this TSD.

APPENDIX 10B. FULL-FUEL-CYCLE ANALYSIS
10B.1
INTRODUCTION
This appendix summarizes the methods the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) used to
calculate the estimated full-fuel-cycle (FFC) energy savings from potential energy conservation
standards. The FFC measure includes point-of-use (site) energy; the energy losses associated
with generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity; and the energy consumed in
extracting, processing, and transporting or distributing primary fuels. DOE’s method of analysis
previously encompassed only site energy and the energy lost through generation, transmission,
and distribution of electricity. In 2011 DOE announced its intention, based on recommendations
from the National Academy of Sciences, to use FFC measures of energy use and emissions when
analyzing proposed energy conservation standards.1 This appendix summarizes the methods
DOE used to incorporate impacts of the full fuel cycle into the analysis.
In the national energy savings calculation, DOE estimates the site, primary and full-fuelcycle (FFC) energy consumption for each standard level, for each year in the analysis period.
DOE defines these quantities as follows:
•
Site energy consumption is the physical quantity of fossil fuels or electricity consumed at
the site where the end-use service is provided. a The site energy consumption is used to
calculate the energy cost input to the NPV calculation.
•
Primary energy consumption is defined by converting the site fuel use from physical
units, for example cubic feet for natural gas, or kWh for electricity, to common energy
units (million Btu or MMBtu). For electricity the conversion factor is a marginal heat rate
that incorporates losses in generation, transmission and distribution, and depends on the
sector, end use and year.
•
The full-fuel-cycle (FFC) energy use is equal to the primary energy use plus the energy
consumed "upstream" of the site in the extraction, processing and distribution of fuels.
The FFC energy use was calculated by applying a fuel-specific FFC energy multiplier to
the primary energy use.
For electricity from the grid, site energy is measured in terawatt-hours (TWh). The
primary energy of a unit of grid electricity is equal to the heat content of the fuels used to
generate that electricity, including transmission and distribution losses.b DOE typically measures
the primary energy associated with the power sector in quads (quadrillion Btu). Both primary
fuels and electricity are used in upstream activities. The treatment of electricity in full-fuel-cycle
analysis must distinguish between electricity generated by fossil fuels and electricity generated
from renewable sources (wind, solar, and hydro). For the former, the upstream fuel cycle relates

For fossil fuels, this is the site of combustion of the fuel.
For electricity sources like nuclear energy and renewable energy, the primary energy is calculated using the
convention described below.

to the fuel consumed at the power plant. There is no upstream component for the latter, because
no fuel per se is used.
10B.2
SITE-TO-PRIMARY ENERGY FACTORS
DOE uses heat rates to convert site electricity savings in TWh to primary energy savings
in quads. The heat rates are developed as a function of the sector, end-use and year of the
analysis period. For this analysis DOE uses output of the DOE/Energy Information
Administration (EIA)’s National Energy Modeling System (NEMS).2 EIA uses the NEMS model
to produce the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO). DOE’s approach uses the most recently available
edition, in this case AEO 2021.3 The AEO publication includes a reference case and a series of
side cases incorporating different economic and policy scenarios. DOE calculates marginal heat
rates as the ratio of the change in fuel consumption to the change in generation for each fossil
fuel type, where the change is defined as the difference between the reference case and the side
case. DOE calculates a marginal heat rate for each of the principal fuel types: coal, natural gas
and oil. DOE uses the EIA convention of assigning a heat rate of 10.5 Btu/Wh to nuclear power
and 9.5 Btu/Wh to electricity from renewable sources.
DOE multiplied the fuel share weights for sector and end-use, described in appendix 15A
of this TSD, by the fuel specific marginal heat rates, and summed over all fuel types, to define a
heat rate for each sector/end-use. This step incorporates the transmission and distribution losses.
In equation form:
h(u,y) = (1 + TDLoss)*∑r,f g(r,f,y) H(f,y)
Where:
TDLoss = the fraction of total generation that is lost in transmission and distribution,
equal to 0.07037
u = an index representing the sector/end-use (e.g. commercial cooling)
y = the analysis year
f = the fuel type
H(f,y) = the fuel-specific heat rate
g(r,f,y) = the fraction of generation provided by fuel type f for end-use u in year y
h(u,y) = the end-use specific marginal heat rate
The sector/end-use specific heat rates are shown in Table 10B.2.1. These heat rates convert site
electricity to primary energy in quads; i.e., the units used in the table are quads per TWh.

FFC METHODOLOGY
The methods used to calculate FFC energy use are summarized here. The mathematical
approach to determining FCC is discussed in Coughlin (2012).4 Details related to the modeling
of the fuel production chain are presented in Coughlin (2013).5
When all energy quantities are normalized to the same units, FFC energy use can be
represented as the product of the primary energy use and an FFC multiplier. Mathematically the
FFC multiplier is a function of a set of parameters that represent the energy intensity and
material losses at each stage of energy production. Those parameters depend only on physical
data, so the calculations require no assumptions about prices or other economic factors. Although
the parameter values may differ by geographic region, this analysis utilizes national averages.
The fuel cycle parameters are defined as follows.
•
ax is the quantity of fuel x burned per unit of electricity produced for grid electricity. The
calculation of ax includes a factor to account for losses incurred through the transmission
and distribution systems.
•
by is the amount of grid electricity used in producing fuel y, in MWh per physical unit of
fuel y.
•
cxy is the amount of fuel x consumed in producing one unit of fuel y.
•
qx is the heat content of fuel x (MBtu/physical unit).
10B-3
All the parameters are calculated as functions of an annual time step; hence, when
evaluating the effects of potential new standards, a time series of annual values is used to
estimate the FFC energy and emissions savings in each year of the analysis period and
cumulatively.
The FFC multiplier is denoted µ (mu). A separate multiplier is calculated for each fuel
used on site. Also calculated is a multiplier for electricity that reflects the fuel mix used in its
generation. The multipliers are dimensionless numbers applied to primary energy savings to
obtain the FFC energy savings. The upstream component of the energy savings is proportional to
(µ-1). The fuel type is denoted by a subscript on the multiplier µ.
The method for performing the full-fuel-cycle analysis utilizes data and projections
published in the AEO 2021. Table 10B.3.1 summarizes the data used as inputs to the calculation
of various parameters. The column titled "AEO Table" gives the name of the table that provided
the reference data.

The AEO 2021 does not provide all the information needed to estimate total energy use in
the fuel production chain. Coughlin (2013) describes the additional data sources needed to
complete the analysis. The time dependence in the FFC multipliers, however, arises exclusively
from variables taken from the AEO.

ENERGY MULTIPLIERS FOR THE FULL FUEL CYCLE
FFC energy multipliers for selected years are presented in Table 10B.4.1. The 2050 value
was held constant for the analysis period beyond 2050, which is the last year in the AEO 2021
projection. The multiplier for electricity reflects the shares of various primary fuels in total
electricity generation throughout the forecast period.
