I am working on a new project. What is the reference for designing V-belt drives? In my case we are talking about a 3hp 1725rpm motor controlled with a VFD. The machine will, at times use 2 to 2.5hp, but probably not for more than 30 seconds. I think a double belt A size setup would be fine, any reasons to think otherwise? I am fresh out of "rules of thumb" when it comes to this kind of thing.
