High efficiency motors now have higher inductance levels.

The new higher efficiency IE3 motors have a lower running current however have a higher inrush current in some cases +20%. To counter this Eaton switchgear such as contactors and motor protective circuit breakers have been modified.

To check that your products are up to IE3 standards they will carry the IE3 logo accordingly.

Both the contactors in the DIL<150A series and the motor-protective circuit-breakers in the PKZ and PKE <65A product lines are perfect choices for safely operating IE3 motors.
