Overview
The Top runner scheme will be applied to industrial induction motors from
Fiscal Year 2015 in Japan, as one of the operation of The Energy Conservation
Law (hereinafter referred as “ECL”). The purpose of this law is efficient energy
use. This paper shows the obligation that Top runner motors should have their
estimated effect for energy saving.

Indirect method
・Couple the motor to a load machine with a torque meter.
・Determination of losses and summing up total loss PT.

2. The obligation of Energy Users based on
the ECL
Energy users are requested to make reasonable efforts to reduce, energy consumption
intensity of their company as a whole or each factory etc. by 1% or more on an annual
average in medium- and long- term.
In addition, Major energy users specified by ECL are obliged to submit medium-to-long
term plans such as replacement to highly energy-efficient facilities. For preparation of
such plans, Government provides a guideline in which presenting practical names of such
highly energy-efficient facilities

Next step and Conclusions
Next step
The rule for Top runner products have to be revised every 3 to 4 years, they
could improve efficiency or expand coverage. Top runner motor also will be
studied again after 2015.
Conclusions
The regulation of Top runner motor is on schedule to start April 1st 2015. It has a
potential to reduce 15.5 TWh/a electricity. It saves 5.3 Mton/a CO2 or more
greenhouse gas.
Japan makes a new commitment to reduce greenhouse gas by 3.8% from 2005
until 2020. The reduction amount would be 51 Mton-CO2. Top runner motor is an
excellent way to achieve this commitment.
