    The document discusses NEMA insulation classes for electrical equipment which rate insulation systems according to their maximum allowable operating temperatures. There are four main classes - A, B, F, and H - with allowable temperature rises ranging from 60 to 125 degrees Celsius at full load and 70 to 115 degrees Celsius for a 1.15 service factor motor. Class B insulation is most commonly used for 60 cycle US motors while Class F is most common for international and 50 cycle motors.

    NEMA Insulation Classes

    Insulation systems are rated by standard NEMA classifications to maximum allowable operating temperatures
    Insulation systems are rated by standard NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) classifications according to maximum allowable operating temperatures:

    Allowable Allowable Temperature Temperature Rise at full Maximum Operation Rise load Temperature Temperature Allowed 1.15 service 1.0 service Tolerance factor motor factor motor 1) Class
    1)

    A B F H

    1)

    105 130 155 180

    221 266 311 356

    60 80 105 125

    70 90 115 -

    T(oF) = [T(oC)](9/5) + 32

    Allowable temperature rises are based upon a reference ambient temperature of 40oC. Operation temperature is reference temperature + allowable temperature rise + allowance for "hot spot" winding. Example Temperature Tolerance Class F: 40 oC + 105 oC + 10 oC = 155 oC In general a motor should not operate with temperatures above the maximum. Each 10 o C rise above the rating may reduce the motor lifetime by one half. Temperature Tolerance Class B is the most common insulation class used on most 60 cycle US motors. Temperature Tolerance Class F is the most common for international and 50 cycle motors.
