Motor Efficiency is not recognized

I am using the OpenStudio with EnergyPlus for energy simulation.

It seems to me "Motor Efficiency" is not being accounted in the calculations for Fans.

I'm setting the field "Motor Efficiency" in OpenStudio, but when I open the EquipmentSummary report: Fans, the field "Total Efficiency" shows only the setted value for Fan Efficiency field in OpenStudio.

According to my calculations, the power calculated reported in "Rated Electric Power [W]" also does not account for the "Motor Efficiency".

I have already exported the file to .idf and efficiencies are all there in inputs, but even direct running on EnergyPlus, the problem remains.

This is a bug or am I'm failing at something.
