3.2.4 Rating plate of a motor
The rating plate details on a motor provide the user with information relating to the construction and performance
characteristics of the motor. On the rating plate it is necessary to indicate the IE code and nominal efficiency of the
motor at full load 100 %, 3/4 load 75 % and 1/2 load 50 %, as required by IEC 60034-30-1.
Here is an example of a rating plate:
Basic information:
- Certification label
- Efficiency Code – IE
- Number of phases
