IEC-rated motors it is newton-meters The torque foot-pound measurement is different from the work foot-pound measurement by the way it is calculated A torque foot-pound is defined as the force of one pound acting on a radius of one foot The product of any force in pounds and radius in feet will equal foot-pounds of turning torque For example, if a motor drives a pulley with a two-foot radius, and the belt... one turn of the coil Expanding magnetic field For the sake of this discussion, in Figure 1-5 , the 100-V supply voltage © Cengage Learning 2013 © Cengage Learning 2013 6 Chapter 1 Electromagnetic Induction Theory Figure 1-5 Inductor with 100-V source voltage Figure 1-6 Inductor with 100-V source and 100-V CEMF is going to push a single electron through the inductor coil The instant that electron... torque-speed curves NEMA has many motor letter classification designs by these characteristics (A,B,C, D, etc.), but the NEMA design B motor is the general purpose design, and is by far the most common The design B motor provides a good balance between locked rotor torque, locked rotor current, and full-speed torque that make it suitable for a wide range of electric motor applications Figure 2-1 3 shows .
