If both standards are applied to the same motor, then neither is superior.

In both cases, the "I" stands for "International", so the answer to (a) is "yes."

Some people think that NEMA is superior, even if it is only "national."

"IEEE, pronounced "Eye-triple-E", stands for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The association is chartered under this name and it is the full legal name. "

IEEE is mostly based on American Practices.

IEC is international.

My preference is for IEC.
