The Calpeda NM pump range is now supplied close coupled to IE3 electric motors which conform to two EU directives which entered a new phase in January 2015.

Calpeda NM NMS range


The Electric Motor Directive 640/2009 requires that certain motors 7.5kW and above should now be IE3 or IE2 with a frequency inverter. We can confirm that Calpeda’s NM series pumps will now be supplied with IE3 motors as standard where applicable. The Water Pump Directive 547/2012 requires that certain pump types have a Mean Efficiency Index (MEI) not less than 0.4, again Calpeda can confirm that their NM & N series pumps are fully compliant. This is a testimony to the quality and efficiency of their pumps with the NM and N ranges of Cast Iron & Bronze End Suction Centrifugal Pumps continuing to be available, often from stock, fully compliant and fully interchangeable with previous models and many other pumps of a similar design, which is one of the reasons we continue to support and distribute Calpeda Pumps throughout the UK.
