% of motor class

Hi all,

Can someone shine any light on the method of calculating the percentage a motor is of its class.

For example if I have a motor with total impulse of 228Ns how much of a % H motor is it?

Many thanks

Mike

It works like this.

An H is 160N to 320N, a range of 160N.
Assuming a 160N is a 0% and a 320N is a 100%.
Your motor of 228N is 68N into that range (228 - 160)
Divide the 68 by 160 and you get 42.5%

Many thanks for that.

Kind regards
