A: Require normal starting torque for continuous duty. Infrequent load fluctuations. Motor provides service factor for overload conditions.  Constant speed.  No special conditions. 

B: Compressors and pumps requiring less than 7 1/2Hp. under certain conditions may be successfully handled by type KZK Motors. Heavy starting, continuous or intermittent duty; service factor for overload conditions.

C: Low starting and maximum torque. Low starting current. Continuous duty, service factor 1.0 and no overload capacity.
