![]() This also assumes the starting of the motor can be considered to have a negligible effect on the motor temperature. In this type of operation, the motor runs with a constant load for a long enough duration so that it reaches thermal equilibrium. This is also referred to by its abbreviated name, S1 duty ( Figure 1). The first, and simplest, type of motor duty cycle is continuous duty. #1 Continuous Duty (S1) ( Figure 1) Motor Duty Cycle #1 – Continuous Duty These operations are viewed by how they affect the motor temperature in order to determine if the selected motor is correct for the application, if increased cooling such as a forced ventilation fan is required, or if a whole new motor should be used. These cycles refer to the sequence and duration in time of all aspects of a typical operation, including starting, running with no load, running with a full load, electric braking, and rest. The International Electrotechnical Commission ( IEC) defines eight classifications for a duty cycle which are grouped by continuous, short-term, or periodic cycles. Once you have identified the type of duty cycle(s) your machine operates, contact us to see how we can find the best solution for your specific application. This blog post and the accompanying lightboard video will provide a basic introduction to motor duty cycles and a few of the most common types of duty cycles. When selecting a motor, it is important to consider the required duty cycle to ensure the motor can meet the needs of the application.
