2.0 DEFINITIONS

2.1 Technical

The technical terms used in this specification are defined as follows:

Nominal System Voltage

The root mean square (rms) "phase to phase" or "phase to neutral" voltage by which the system is
designated and at (or near) which level, the system normally operates.

Utilisation Voltage

The rms "phase to phase" or "phase to neutral" voltage at the line terminals of utilisation equipment.

Low Voltage

A class of nominal system voltages less than 601 V.

Medium Voltage

A class of nominal system voltages equal to or greater than 601 V and less than 15,000 V.

Rated Power

The rating in horsepower (or kilowatts), which can be carried continuously without exceeding the rated
temperature rise at rated voltage and frequency.

Service Factor (NEMA)

A multiplier which, when applied to the rated power, indicates the power which may be carried
continuously without exceeding, by more than 18°F (10°C), the rated temperature rise at rated voltage and
frequency. It should be noted that IEC design motors do not normally have a service factor and that
application of the service factor may shorten the anticipated life of the machine.

Frame Size

A series of dimensionally standardised machines for a given range of power outputs and speeds as detailed
in NEMA MG10. Above frame size 445 the dimensions may not be standardised.

Output Power

The useful mechanical power measured at the shaft-end of a motor.

Rated Output Power

The value of the output power included in the rating.

Rated Torque

The torque the motor develops at its shaft-end at rated output and speed.

Load Full Torque


GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION GES L.11
3-PHASE INDUCTION MOTORS (LOW VOLTAGE) Page 6 of 29
Rev 0 1999
The torque the load demands on the shaft-end of a motor when the torque of the driven machine is at its full
value.

Load Starting Torque

The torque required by the load over the starting period from zero speed to load speed.

Note: The starting torque includes, if applicable, compression torque and bearing friction torque.

Locked Rotor Current

The maximum measured steady-state rms current taken from the line with the motor held at rest, with rated
voltage and frequency applied.

Note: Maximum relates to the angular position of the locked rotor.

Locked Rotor Torque

The minimum measured torque the motor develops at its shaft-end with the rotor locked and rated voltage
and frequency applied.

Pull-Up Torque

The smallest torque the motor develops between zero and the speed which corresponds to the breakdown
torque when the motor is supplied at the rated voltage and frequency.

Note: This definition does not apply to those asynchronous motors of which the torque continually
decreases with increase in speed.

Routine Tests

Routine tests are those tests applied to a machine to show that it has been assembled correctly, is able to
withstand the appropriate high-voltage tests and is in sound working order both electrically and
mechanically.

Basic Tests

Basic tests are those intended to establish compliance with selected, widely applicable requirements of the
manufacturing standard.

Identical Machine (For "Type" or "Special" Test Certification)

Normally this is a machine whose rated data, performance and construction characteristics are identical to
those of the machines required. However, a machine may be considered to be representative of others if it
has only minor deviations of rating or other characteristics; these deviations shall be subject to agreement
between the Owner and the Vendor/Contractor.

5.0 NEMA/IEC DIFFERENCES


GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION GES L.11
3-PHASE INDUCTION MOTORS (LOW VOLTAGE) Page 19 of 29
Rev 0 1999

5.1 General

This specification is primarily written for machines manufactured in accordance with the American
(NEMA) Standards.

If it is necessary or advantageous to purchase machines in accordance with International (IEC) Standards,


the specification can still be utilised but the salient differences occurring should be noted as detailed below.

5.2 Salient Differences

This section does not attempt to list every difference between American (NEMA) standards and IEC
standards, but covers only those salient differences that could affect the final installation if not properly
addressed during the design phase.

5.2.1 Units - SI Units

The NEMA Standards in many cases utilise imperial units (horsepower, feet, pounds, degrees fahrenheit,
foot candles, etc), whilst the IEC Standards utilise SI units (metres, grammes, degrees celsius etc).

Note:

For electrical equipment, the (American) Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) have
recommended that the use of the imperial (British-American units in use be reduced as
rapidly as possible in favour of the SI units, with certain implementations such as the use
of horsepower being phased out first.

Where practicable, both systems have been shown in this standard and on the Electrical Data Sheets since
the transition will take some time to fully implement.

5.2.2 Frame Size : (IEC-72)

The standard frame sizes in MGI will be different to those in IEC 72, however, in either case, the final
frame sizes are normally assigned by the Vendor/Contractor against the required duty.

5.2.3 Ingress Protection (IP) (IEC 34-5) IEC 529

The IEC Code precisely defines the ingress protection offered to the machine by its enclosure against solid
bodies and moisture. The NEMA Code MGI-Part 5, is now similar, and for most refinery installations, an
enclosure of "IP54" (as defined in both codes) should be adequate for most installations.

This excludes special requirements such as dust tight or fully submersible pumps.

5.2.4 Hazardous (Classified) Areas (GES L 35)

Full details of the comparison of IEC and American practices are detailed in GES L.35 and are not
reiterated here.

If it is intended to purchase a motor to IEC Standards, reference shall be made to the contract hazardous
area drawing produced from the principles stated in GES L.35 to establish the enclosure type needed.

Note: The national Standard Code NFPA70, Article 500 and API.RP500 cover the American approach
to hazardous (Classified) areas in some detail.

5.2.5 Cooling IEC (34-6)


GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION GES L.11
3-PHASE INDUCTION MOTORS (LOW VOLTAGE) Page 20 of 29
Rev 0 1999
The concepts are similar i.e. air or water cooled etc., only the method of identifying them is different.
Provided the requirement is clearly stated in words, it should not be a problem.

5.2.6 Rating (Performance) (IEC 34-1)

Generally, for continuously rated machines, the IEC standards recognise only a continuous maximum
rating (CMR) which relates to a service factor of "1.0".

5.2.7 Testing (IEC 34-2,9,12,14 and 15)

The principal methods of testing machines and evaluation of performance are covered in the IEC standards
by the parts of IEC-34 detailed above.

The American machines are tested against ANSI/IEEE standards and all differ slightly.

This should not be a problem as the requirements are judged against guarantee figures given at the pre-
order stage by the Vendor/Contractor and if agreed beforehand, either standard would be acceptable for the
test procedures and tolerances to cover the tests required and specified in NOC standard specifications.

5.2.8 Terminal Markings (IEC 34-8)

NEMA M G.1, (1993) part 2, gives terminal major markings with a "T" prefix whereas the IEC code
utilises U, V, W for phases.

5.2.9 Grounding

Concerned with nature and location of an intentional electrical interconnection between the Electrical
System Conductors and Ground.

In British Practice, the terms 'Grounding' and 'Ground' are replaced by 'Earthing' and 'Earth'.

5.2.10 Cable Conductor Cross Sectional Area (CSA)

IEC cable CSA's are always in metric dimensions (mm2). American conductor sizes are often American
wire gauge (AWG) for the smaller sizes and circular mils (c.mil) for larger sizes.

6.0 INSPECTION

6.1 Procedures

(a) The Vendor/Contractor shall allow the Inspector free access to all areas of manufacture,
fabrication, assembly and testing.

(b) The Vendor/Contractor always has the responsibility to provide adequate quality control and
