Electric Motors - IEC and NEMA Standard Torques
NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) has classified electrical motors in four different NEMA designs where torque and starting-load inertia are important criteria.
Torques of the IEC Design N motors are in general close to NEMA Design B motors. IEC Design N and NEMA Design B are the most commonly used industrial types.
Torques of the IEC Design H are nearly identical to NEMA Design C.
