    The document discusses motor duty cycles for electric actuators. It states that the IEC 60034 standard defines standard duty cycles for electric motors, including S2 for constant load and S4 for intermittent duty with starting. It recommends S4 duty cycle as the most representative for actuator operations because actuators experience a large starting torque that decreases after reaching the operating torque, allowing for quick restarts, unlike S2. It also notes that BERNARD CONTROLS actuators feature powerful asynchronous motors well-suited for the starting demands of S4 duty cycles.

    Motor duty cycle

    The only representative duty cycle for electric


    actuator operation
    The IEC 60034 standard defines the electric motors' standard duty cycles. According to
    this standard, S2 duty rating is short time duty: motors using this duty cycle adapt to
    constant load. Temperature rises fast during the operation and quickly reaches its limit.
    Motor needs long stop for total cooling between each start.

    S4 duty cycle is intermittent duty with starting. Motors using this cycle start with a large
    output torque. Temperature slowly decreases once operating torque has been reached.
    Therefore, the motor can be restarted shortly after shutdown.

    BERNARD CONTROLS has chosen the S4 duty rating because it is the most
    representative duty cycle for actuators operations. Indeed, the valve's starting torque is
    much larger than the operating torque, and any valve frequently starts (even On/Off
    valves may need frequent starting in case of debug or under some special circumstances).
    Therefore, S4 is the only representative duty cycle for actuator operation.

    On the other hand, BERNARD CONTROLS actuators also feature powerful asynchronous
    motors with high starting torque to unseat the valve, as well as excellent starting
    torque/nominal torque ratio.
