(d)	D is 82.2503 for a 2-pole motor, 83.7025 for a 4‑pole motor and 80.4769 for a 6-pole motor; and
(e)	P is the rated power output of the motor;”;

(d)

by inserting, immediately after the definition of “N” in paragraph 1, the following definition:

“ “Nominal Efficiency” or “ƞ_N”, in relation to a motor, means the ratio of mechanical output power to the electrical input power, expressed in percentage, as specified in the test report, and at rated voltage and frequency;”;

(e)

by inserting, at the end of the paragraph heading of paragraph 2, the word “, etc.”;

(f)

by inserting, immediately after the words “efficiency standard” in paragraph 2, the words “and other requirements affecting or relating to the energy efficiency standard”;

(g)

by deleting the full-stop at the end of item 14 of paragraph 2, and by inserting immediately thereafter the following items:

“

15.	Motors with rated output of or exceeding 0.75 kW and below 200 kW

ƞ_N at rated output ≥ Minimum Nominal Efficiency

16.	Motors with rated output of or exceeding 200 kW and not exceeding 375 kW

(a)	for 2-pole motors: ƞ_N at rated output ≥ 95.8;

(b)	for 4-pole motors: ƞ_N at rated output ≥ 96; and
