SAKOR TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES DYNAMOMETER LINE FOR TESTING ELECTRIC MOTOR EFFICIENCY TO MEET INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS

NEW MODELS CAN TEST WIDE RANGE OF MOTOR SIZES ON A SINGLE SYSTEM

SAKOR Technologies Inc., a recognized leader in the area of high-performance dynamometer systems, announces that it has developed a series of dynamometer systems ideal for customers

required to test and verify the level of efficiency of electric motors in accordance with a variety
of national and international standards, including IEC 60034-2-1; IEEE 112B; and Canadian
standard C390-93. The SAKOR units can be used test from two to eight pole motors ranging
from 10 watts to more than 3 megawatts.

As part of the global effort to reduce the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions,
regulators are developing energy efficiency standards for the billions of small, medium, and
large electric motors used around the world. These regulations specify how to ensure motors are
meeting the efficiency standards that have come into effect or are being phased in. First in line
for regulation are induction motors; it is likely that permanent magnet motors will be regulated in
the coming years, followed later by inverter driven motors.

The new line of SAKOR motor testing dynamometers offers high-accuracy testing for designers
and manufacturers of electric motors of any size, for use in applications ranging from large
industrial equipment to consumer appliances, including fans, refrigerators, and washing
machines. They have been optimized so that individual machines can test the widest possible
range of motor sizes and still maintain necessary accuracy tolerances. SAKOR systems meet the
standards' tight tolerances and exacting requirements regarding data precision and accuracy.
Capable of precisely measuring motor efficiency, these dynamometers provide an essential tool
to engineers seeking to reduce fossil fuel consumption and enhance energy efficiency to meet
strict environmental standards and regulations.

"We have worked hard to define this line of systems to give the maximum utility per machine
and make it most cost-effective for the customer," said Randal Beattie, president of SAKOR.
"By optimizing equipment to test the widest range of motor sizes with one system while staying
within required accuracy levels, customers will need to buy the fewest number of machines at the
lowest total cost."
