Comparing IEEE 112 Method B to MotorMaster Plus

Abstract: The present version of the US Department of Energy’s MotorMaster Plus (MMPlus) software was released in 1995 with modifications related to reliability funded by Dreisilker Electric Motors, Inc., ALL-TEST Pro, and Pruftechnic, in 2000. In 1999, a study by the Washington State Energy Extension Center determined that the efficiency results from MMPlus were roughly equivalent to IEEE Std 112 Method B testing, the requirement by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct ’92). In this paper we will compare the findings of three of the same model number and manufacturer motors via IEEE Std 112 Method B to the findings of MMPlus and our independent observations.
