Duty cycles with varying ON duration
Standardized intermittent duties (S3) are specified for duty cycles with varying ON durations
Each intermittent duty (S3) is made up of a sequence of duty cycles of the same type. Each
duty cycle encompasses a time with constant load and a pause.
Figure 5-4 S3 duty (intermittent operation without influencing starting)
Fixed variables are generally used for the relative ON duration:
● S3 – 60%
● S3 – 40%
● S3 – 25%
The corresponding motor characteristics are provided for these specifications.
The load torque must lie below the corresponding thermal limiting characteristic curve of the
motor. An overload is taken into account for duty cycles with varying ON duration.
