2  Drive definition
2.2 Drive definition 
via normogram
he normogram provides user-friendly graphical power ratings for
applications with IEC standard motor. It is primarily used to define the
power outputs of rotational drives such as winders, mills, extruders, cen-
trifuges, mixers, etc. Any break-away torques or load surges occurring
must be calculated separately.
You will find the copy template in the appendix under "Practical working
aids for the project engineer". Continuous load characteristic - See sec-
tion 2.5.1.
Using the normogram:
1. Plot the speed vertices 
for the relevant motor.
2. Draw two straight lines 
to the continuous load 
characteristic.
3. Connect the lowest 
point on the continuous 
load characteristic to 
the load torque by a 
straight line.
4. Connect the load tor-
que to the rated power 
by a straight line.
5. Select your product 
based on the perfor-
mance rating data.
