What is the CDF (Cyclic Duration Factor) of an induction motor? If the required capacity is 5 kW - what is the capacity in kW after taking into consideration of say 40% CDF?
Motors are designed for particular applications. If motor is running in cycle i.e 4 minutes running time and 6 minutes rest then it is called 40% CDF motor. The duty cycle is 10 minutes. There are many applications where such cyclic duty exists. Some are 40%, some 60%, some 100%. For selecting motor you should know your cyclic duty requirements.

"the ratio between the period of loading, including
starting and electric braking, and the duration of the duty cycle, expressed as
a percentage"
There are 10 duty types. In order to calculate the
rated power from CDF you have to precise the duty type and all other necessary data
