Understanding Motor Nameplate Information – NEMA vs. IEC Standards

Course No. E-3027

Credit: 3 PDH

Course Fee: $86.85 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: A. Bhatia, Mechanical Engineer

 

Overview

One of the most important aspects of making motors interchangeable is ensuring that nameplate information is common among manufacturers. International standards such as NEMA and IEC provide key electrical, mechanical, construction and reliability parameters on the motor to aid with the consumer expectations of “standard” motors from different manufacturers that meet or exceed the minimum performance parameters.

This 3 -hour course provides a brief overview of how to read and interpret motor nameplate information and highlights the major differences between National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) motor standards.

This course is of interest to professional engineers, service technicians, energy auditors, operational and maintenance personnel, sales and marketing personnel, and anyone who specifies, buys, maintains or replaces motors.

A quiz consisting of twenty (20) multiple choice questions must be passed to earn PDH credit.
