Hurra! En svensk elektriker! Jag vet att du varit här tidigare, men det var ett bra tag sedan du skrev något sist. Rackarns att du skulle fastna på just det jag skrev [Linked Image]

Resten av Europa verkar inte dela den svenska förtjusningen för 10A ledningar, kanske främst för att kabel är så mycket billigare. Nu får jag väl byta språk så att våra utrikes vänner förstår...

Back to English:

Indeed, it is possible also to use 1.5 mm2 for small loads. What I meant was that a small load can simply be plugged into one of those standard 3-ph 16A sockets which seems to be everywhere.

Kitha:

"I could not find any article how they classify the motors based on their duty ratings and use the factors like 1.25"

Are you refering to the American practice of sizing to 125% of the continuous load and 100% of the non continuous load? (With non-continuous being less than three hours, IIRC)

BTW. I found an article comparing NEMA and IEC motors at:
