Hey guys,
As my employer expands into international projects and manufacturing, we are trying to source more components internationally. This brings up the issue of NEMA vs IEC motors and gearboxes for our projects.
Those of you in the US, do you use any IEC motors? What are some good brands/models for running on VFDs?
Our standard motor would be something like this Blackmax from Marathon:

Do you guys see a mix of NEMA and IEC stuff out in plants? Trying to get a feel on the "customers" end.
TLDR My work is trying to buy some cheap stuff from china
