12.50 PERFORMANCE OF MEDIUM MOTORS WITH DUAL VOLTAGE RATING

When a medium motor is marked with a broad range or dual voltage the motor shall meet all performance
requirements of MG 1 over the marked voltage range.
12.51 SERVICE FACTOR OF ALTERNATING-CURRENT MOTORS
12.51.1 General-Purpose Alternating-Current Motors of the Open Type ▲
When operated at rated voltage and frequency, general-purpose alternating-current motors of the open
type shall have a service factor in accordance with Table 12-4 (see 14.37).

*In the case of polyphase squirrel-cage motors, these service factors apply only to Design A, B, and C motors. ▲

12.51.2 Other Motors ▲

When operated at rated voltage and frequency, other open-type and all totally enclosed alternating-
current motors shall have a service factor of 1.0.

In those applications requiring an overload capacity, the use of a higher horsepower rating, as given in
10.32.4, is recommended to avoid exceeding the temperature rises for the class of insulation system
used and to provide adequate torque capacity.
