IEC - NEMA Standard Torques
Comparing IEC and NEMA torque classifications of electrical motors
Sponsored Links
NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) have classified electrical motors in four different NEMA designs where torques and starting-load inertia are important criterions.
Toques of IEC Design N motors are in general close to NEMA Design B motors. IEC Design N and NEMA Design B are the most commonly industrial used types.
Torques of IEC Design H are nearly identical to NEMA Design C.
