Should we overload the motor above the given nominal current even though in the Technical reference document it is said that extended continuous and sustained operation outside the given ratings will lead to increased temperature rise and should be avoided?

In the given Technical reference, the requirements for the continuous power rating of 500W (requirement no.2), nominal voltage, current and frequency (requirements 5a, 5b, 5c), and over-speed limit (requirement no.18) are given. In one of the previous questions, it was confirmed that we won’t be asked to go beyond this speed limit (https://ifec2019.wisc.edu/2018/12/03/motor-maximum-speed/). However, it seems that with all the requirements, it is impossible to meet the power rating requirements.

These items have been clarified further in the updated technical document.
