  2. Electrical efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_efficiency

    Electric kettle: more than 90% [citation needed] (comparatively little heat energy is lost during the 2 to 3 minutes a kettle takes to boil water). A premium efficiency electric motor: more than 90% (see Main Article: Premium efficiency). A large power transformer used in the electrical grid may have efficiency of more than 99%. Early 19th ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_energy_label

    the energy efficiency category from A to G; the luminous flux of the bulb in lumens; the electricity consumption of the lamp in watts; the average life length in hours; According to the light bulb's electrical consumption relative to a standard (GLS or incandescent), the lightbulb is in one of the following classes: [15]

  4. Premium efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premium_efficiency

    Premium efficiency, when used in reference to specific types of Electric Motors (with a rotating shaft), is a class of motor efficiency.. As part of a concerted effort worldwide to reduce energy consumption, CO 2 emissions and the impact of industrial operations on the environment, various regulatory authorities in many countries have introduced, or are planning, legislation to encourage the ...

  5. IEC 60034 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60034

    IEC 60034-30 specifies energy-efficiency classes for single-speed, continuous duty(S1), three-phase, cage-induction motors with 2, 4 or 6 poles. It classifies three classes: IE1 (standard), IE2 (high) and IE3 (premium). For each class the efficiency is defined for a rated output range from 0.75 to 375 kW.

  6. Energy performance certificate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_performance_certificate

    Energy performance certificates (EPCs) are a rating scheme to summarise the energy efficiency of buildings. [4] [5] The building is given a rating between A (Very efficient) - G (Inefficient). The EPC will also include tips about the most cost-effective ways to improve the home energy rating. Energy performance certificates are used in many ...

  7. Energy efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency

    Energy efficiency may refer to: Energy efficiency (physics), the ratio between the useful output and input of an energy conversion process Electrical efficiency, useful power output per electrical power consumed; Mechanical efficiency, a ratio of the measured performance to the performance of an ideal machine

  8. Power plant efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_plant_efficiency

    To express the efficiency of a generator or power plant as a percentage, invert the value if dimensionless notation or same unit are used. For example: A heat rate value of 5 gives an efficiency factor of 20%. A heat rate value of 2 kWh/kWh gives an efficiency factor of 50%. A heat rate value of 4 MJ/MJ gives an efficiency factor of 25%.
