IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) uses eight duty cycle designations to describe an electrical motors operating conditions:

S1

Continuous duty

The motor works at a constant load for enough time to reach temperature equilibrium. The motor works at a constant load, but not long enough to reach temperature equilibrium. The rest periods are long enough for the motor to reach ambient temperature. Sequential, identical run and rest cycles with constant load. Temperature equilibrium is never reached. Starting current has little effect on temperature rise. Sequential, identical start, run and rest cycles with constant load. Temperature equilibrium is not reached, but starting current affects temperature rise. Sequential, identical cycles of starting, running at constant load and running with no load. No rest periods. Sequential, identical cycles of running with constant load and running with no load. No rest periods. Sequential identical cycles of starting, running at constant load and electric braking. No rest periods.

S2

Short-time duty

S3

Intermittent periodic duty Intermittent periodic duty with starting Intermittent periodic duty with electric braking Continuous operation with intermittent load Continuous operation with electric braking
