Engineering ToolBox > IEC - NEMA Standard Torques
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.
