  • Abstract
    On December 19, 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 was signed by President Bush. This law mandates upgraded electric motor efficiency beginning in 2010. Canada is expected to follow with a similar requirement beginning January 2011. Other countries are also mandating MEPS (Minimum Efficiency Performance Standards) for electric motors.
