NEMA Design A motor

means a squirrel-cage motor that:

(1) is designed to withstand full-voltage starting and developing locked-rotor torque as shown in NEMA MG 1-2009, paragraph 12.38.1;

(2) has pull-up torque not less than the values shown in NEMA MG 1-2009, paragraph 12.40.1;

(3) has breakdown torque not less than the values shown in NEMA MG 1-2009, paragraph 12.39.1;

(4) has a locked-rotor current higher than the values shown in NEMA MG 1-2009, paragraph 12.35.1 for 60 hertz and NEMA MG 1-2009, paragraph 12.35.2 for 50 hertz; and

(5) has a slip at rated load of less than 5 percent for motors with fewer than 10 poles
