Unique Motor Identifier (UMI)

For electric motors, a unique motor identifier (UMI) is required instead of the product's model number when reporting information in an energy efficiency report or on a customs release document. The UMI applies to motors manufactured on or after November 27, 1997, and comprises the following information, in this sequence:

  • the name of the manufacturer, in abbreviated form;
  • the power of the motor (indicated in HP for NEMA motors and in kilowatts for IEC motors);

Notes:

  1. COP is calculated as follows:
    1. Absorption: COP = standard rating capacity (kW) / thermal power input (kW);
    2. Centrifugal, rotary: COP = standard rating capacity (kW) / total power input (kW); and
    3. Reciprocating or scroll: COP = standard rating capacity (kW) / total power input (kW).
  2. For centrifugals that are not designed to operate at standard rating conditions, refer to Tables 10 to 15 for adjusted COP and NPLV numbers.
