Figure 2 Normal Duty Boundary of Operation
Heavy Duty operation follows the same algorithm as Normal Duty, but allows a
larger percentage of rated current (one size smaller motor). The percentages are
150% for 60 seconds, 200% for 3 seconds and 220% for 100 milliseconds (see
"Normal Duty and Heavy Duty Operation" on
page 39 .
