Term Explanation
M
0
 Standstill torque Thermal limit torque of the motor at standstill. The motor can 
deliver this torque for an unlimited length of time.
I
0
  Standstill current Effective value of the motor phase current required to generate 
the standstill torque.
M
N
 Nominal torque Thermal limit torque of the motor at nominal speed n
