Siemens Ltd launches the most energy efficient low voltage motors in India

Siemens Ltd announces the launch of its new range of energy efficient motor SIMOTICS 1LE7. The new SIMOTICS 1LE7 range of motors is the newest entrant in the existing range of motors offered by Siemens in India. These motors offer efficiency values higher than the IE3 standards - which is currently the highest efficiency class as recognized by Indian Standards.
