Thermal considerations
The duration of overloading depends on the modes of operation:
Continuous duty
Short time intermittent duty
Periodic intermittent duty
Continuous duty
Load torque is constant over extended period multiple
Steady state temperature reached
Nominal output power chosen equals or exceeds continuous load
