NOTES:
1. Locked rotor and breakdown torques are per NEMA Design A and B for general
purpose motors.
2. Class F insulation with standard service factor and temperature rise.
3. Rated voltage and frequency applied.
4. During acceleration period, connected load torque varies as the square of the speed
and equal to the rated torque at rated speed.
5. Two consecutive cold starts or one start with motor at rated temperature.
Please refer to Section 10 Part 3 for more details on Moment of Inertia.
