5.5 Adjustment factors for utilization categories
The following adjustment factors refer to EMS electronic motor starters with
a maximum load current of 9 A. By using the load current, the overcurrent
factor (see the data sheet for the relevant motor), and the 9-A derating curve,
you
can calculate the
motor‘s maximum
permissible rated operational current.
