For an electric machine, the power rating is the number on its rating plate and corresponds to a maximum electric load it can carry. There is a distinction between the continuous rating (for generators, continuous maximum rating or CMR [ 2 ] ), at which the machine can be operational without a time limit and short-term rating that can only be ...
