Motor Efficiency

Hi everyone 

The motor of the fans in our project is Totally Enclosed Fan-non ventilated and i want to compare the efficiency with TABLE 10.8 in ASHRAE 90.1-2010, but the table mentioned Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled Motors with which table in ASHRAE shall i compare our proposed motors with ??

Thanks

Not sure. If the fan motor type is not included then it is not regulated and should be modeled identically.
