Operating temperature. An operating temperature is the allowable temperature range of the local ambient environment at which an electrical or mechanical device operates. The device will operate effectively within a specified temperature range which varies based on the device function and application context, and ranges from the minimum ...
Model rocket motor classification. Motors for model rockets [ 1] and high-powered rockets [ 2] (together, consumer rockets) are classified by total impulse into a set of letter-designated ranges, from ⅛ A up to O . The total impulse is the integral of the thrust over burn time. Where is the burn time in seconds, is the instantaneous thrust in ...
Insulation system. The electrical insulation system for wires used in generators, electric motors, transformers, and other wire-wound electrical components is divided into different classes by temperature and temperature rise. The electrical insulation system is sometimes referred to as insulation class or thermal classification.
The one-hour rating is typically about 10% higher than the continuous rating and is limited by the temperature rise in the motor. As traction motors use a reduction gear setup to transfer torque from the motor armature to the driven axle, the actual load placed on the motor varies with the gear ratio.
IEC 60269 unifies the electrical characteristics of fuses that are dimensionally interchangeable with fuses built to earlier British, German, French or Italian standards. [ 2] The standard identifies application categories which classify the time-current characteristic of each type of fuse. The application category is a two-digit code.

A thermal fuse protecting the windings of a small motor. A thermal fuse is a cutoff which uses a one-time fusible link.Unlike a thermal switch which may automatically reset itself when the temperature drops, the thermal fuse is more like an electrical fuse: a single-use device that cannot be reset and must be replaced when it fails or is triggered.
A fractional-horsepower motor ( FHP) is an electric motor with a rated output power of less than one horsepower (745.7 W) (the term 'fractional' indicates less than one unit). There is no defined minimum output, however, it is generally accepted that a motor with a frame size of less than 35mm square can be referred to as a 'micro-motor'.
