AC Industrial Electric Motors
Standards organisations
The RS-ABB range of ac i nducti on motors i s produced to
common European standards, these bei ng I EC and
C ENELEC ( C omi t Europen de Normali sati on
Electrotechni que) .
These two organi sati ons work together on harmoni sati ons of
standards both worldwi de and wi thi n Western Europe.
G ENELEC i n parti cular ai ms to remove trade obstacles i n
Western Europe that may occur due to di fferences i n the
regulati ons and standards.
New nati onal standards are i ncreasi ngly i denti cal to or
broadly based on these European standards i ssued by
C ENELEC .
Dimensional and power standards
The fi rst edi ti on of I EC Publi cati on 72 was i ssued i n 1959 and
supplemented i n 1970 by I EC ( I nternati onal Electrotechni cal
C ommi ssi on) Publi cati on 72A.
These contai ned the fi rst recommendati ons and outli ne
proposals that electri c motors should be produced wi th
si mi lar rated powers and mounti ng di mensi ons, i .e. shaft
hei ght, fi xi ng di mensi ons and shaft extensi on di mensi ons.
I n 1974 the j oi nt agreement was superseded by a
harmoni sati on document HD231 from C ENELEC . T he
resulti ng standardi sati on enabled a complete
i nterchangeabi li ty between motors of di fferent manufacture.
The si zes, versi ons and rated outputs of 4-pole and 2-pole
motors covered by the standard are shown i n Table 1.
However, the European standardi sati on does not fully
coi nci de wi th correspondi ng USA standards, whi ch tend to
be based on i mperi al di mensi ons rather than the
correspondi ng metri c-based European motor. Power rati ngs
also di ffer between US and European motors.

Insulation classes
I EC Publi cati on I EC 85 di vi des i nsulati on i nto classes. Each
class i s gi ven a desi gnati on that corresponds to the upper
temperature li mi t of the i nsulati ng materi al when used under
normal operati ng condi ti ons.
The correct i nsulati on of the wi ndi ng of a motor i s therefore
determi ned by both the temperature ri se i n the motor and
the temperature of the ambi ent ai r. I f a motor i s subjected to
an ambi ent temperature hi gher than 40C , i t must normally
be derated or a hi gh i nsulati on class of materi al used.
I nternati onal standards measure temperature i n degrees
C elsi us ( C ) , whi lst temperature di fference i s stated i n the
uni t Kelvi n ( K) . O ne degree C elsi us i s equi valent to 1K.
The RS-ABB range of ac i nducti on motors i s manufactured to
a class F i nsulati on rati ng. For class F the temperature ri se
must not exceed 105K, provi ded that the ambi ent
temperature does not exceed + 40C .
I t should be noted that i f the upper temperature li mi t of the
i nsulati on materi al i s exceeded by 8 to 10K ( Table 2) , the li fe
of the i nsulati on wi ll be approxi mately halved.
The graph i llustrates the effect of exceedi ng the hi ghest
permi tted wi ndi ng temperature on wi ndi ng li fe.
General characteristics
The followi ng i s a li st of general characteri sti cs of the ac
i nducti on motors suppli ed by RS C omponents. Each one
should be consi dered before choosi ng the appropri ate
motor for the appli cati on.
Voltage
Si ngle-speed, three-phase motors can usually be re-
connected for two voltages.
The usual way i s to connect the three stator phase wi ndi ngs
i n star ( U) or delta ( ) . All RS-ABB motors are suppli ed
confi gured i n star ( U) up to frame si ze 100 for 380-420V
50Hz, motors above thi s si ze are suppli ed delta pri mari ly but
may be converted for delta ( ) . Thi s means that the three-
phase i nput voltage range i s wi de. For example i f the motor
was connected i n delta i t would accept a three-phase i nput
voltage range of 220-240V for a 50Hz supply frequency or
250-280V for 60Hz frequency.
Si mi larly wi th the motor connected i n star an i nput voltage
range of 380-420V i s acceptable on 50Hz or 440-480V on a
60Hz supply system.
Thi s wi de voltage range and dual operati ng frequency
enables the motors to be used throughout the world.
To convert the motors refer to Fi gure 2 where i ndi cati on i s
gi ven of the requi red li nk change.
Note: To use these motors i n conjuncti on wi th si ngle-phase
240V i nput, three-phase output ac motor speed
controllers, these three-phase motors must be
connected i n delta ( ) .
M otors from frame si ze 112 are suppli ed delta connected for
380-420V 50Hz, 440-480V 60Hz. They can be connected i n a
star confi gurati on for 660-690V 50Hz operati on i f requi red.
Voltage deviation
I f the supply voltage at constant output power devi ates from
the rated voltage of the motor, the starti ng and maxi mum
torques of the motor vary approxi mately as the square of the
voltage.
The change i n torque wi ll also result i n a change i n the
speed, effi ci ency and power factor ( Fi gure 3) .
Voltage devi ati ons also affect the temperature ri se i n the
motor wi ndi ngs. I f the voltage i s low the temperature wi ll ri se
i n both large and small framed motors; i f the voltage i s hi gh
the temperature may drop sli ghtly i n large si zed motors but
ri se rapi dly i n the small output motors.

Power
When choosi ng a motor si ze i t i s essenti al to bear i n mi nd
that i t i s the power demand of the dri ven machi ne that
determi nes the output deli vered by the motor and therefore
the power drawn from the supply. For example i f a machi ne
needs 4kW i t wi ll take 4kW, regardless of whether the motor
i s 3kW or 7.5kW.
I f the smaller motor i s i nstalled i t wi ll be subjected to a
conti nuous 25% overload that i t wi ll not be able to sustai n for
long peri ods. The protecti ve overload devi ce fi tted should,
however, protect agai nst these types of hi gh overloads, and
di sconnect the motor supply wi thi n a sui table ti me peri od.
A motor must be capable of deli veri ng the power needed by
the dri ven machi ne, and i t i s prudent to provi de a safety
margi n si nce mi nor overloads that are di ffi cult to foresee can
often occur.
I f a motor wi ndi ng i s overheated the i nsulati on of the copper
conductors may be destroyed. G i ven a choi ce between two
motor si zes the larger one should always be used. However
i t i s not a good i dea to choose an unnecessari ly large motor
si nce i t wi ll be di sproporti onately costly to purchase and
have a low power factor i n servi ce. I n addi ti on, when a
squi rrel cage motor i s started the starti ng current wi ll be
excessi vely hi gh, si nce i t i s proporti onal to the si ze of the
motor. I f a motor i s loaded at full load only for short peri ods
wi th peri ods of i dli ng between them, known as i ntermi ttent
duty, i ts temperature ri se wi ll be lower, and i t wi ll have a
capaci ty to deli ver a hi gher output than duri ng conti nuous
operati on.
Fi gure 4 shows a typi cal temperature/ti me graph for a motor
i n both conti nuous and i ntermi ttent duty.
Power factor
A motor consumes not only acti ve power ( kW) , whi ch i t
converts i nto mechani cal work, but also reacti ve power
( kVAr) whi ch i s needed for magneti sati on but does not
perform any useful functi on.
The acti ve and reacti ve powers are shown i n Fi gure 5
together wi th the apparent power ( kVA) . The rati o between
the acti ve power and the apparent power i s known as the
power factor. The angle between P ( kW) and S ( kVA) i s
usually desi gnated . The power factor usually bei ng
referred to as cos .
The power factor i s usually between 0.7 and 0.9, however
thi s may vary dependi ng on the motor si ze and rati ng.
I f there are many motors i n an i nstallati on they wi ll consume
a lot of reacti ve power and wi ll therefore have a lower power
factor. Power supply authori ti es someti mes requi re the
power factor of the i nstallati on to be rai sed. Thi s i s usually
done by correcti on capaci tors to the supply: these generate
reacti ve power and thus rai se the power factor level.
Power factor correction
Wi th phase compensati on the correcti on capaci tors are
usually connected i n parallel wi th the motor or group of
motors. C apaci tors must not be connected i n parallel wi th
any si ngle phases of the wi ndi ng otherwi se di ffi culty may be
experi enced i n starti ng usi ng star/delta methods.
To calculate the value of power factor correcti on capa-ci tor

Efficiency
I EC Publi cati on 34-2 descri bes two methods for determi ni ng
the effi ci ency of a motor, one bei ng the di rect method the
other known as i ndi rect.
Wi th the i ndi rect method i nput power and output are each
measured i ndi vi dually. M ost motor fi gures quoted are
determi ned by thi s method, whi ch also i ncludes a calculati on
of the losses i nvolved.
Typi cal motor losses i nclude:
Beari ng and ai r fri cti on losses
C urrent heat losses i n stator and rotor
I ron losses
Stray losses.
Fi gure 6 gi ves a graphi c i ndi cati on i f the relati onshi p
between these losses.
The standards defi ne the stray losses as 0.5% of the i nput
power at rated duty. The standard tolerance i s:
15% of ( 1 - h) for motors up to 15kW where h = effi ci ency of
motor. NEM A, the standards most wi dely used i n the USA,
permi t no tolerance on the losses. Stray losses are generally
calculated at 0.9% of the output.
Speed
The speed of an ac motor depends on the mai ns frequency
and the number of poles of the stator wi ndi ng.
2.f.60
n = r/mi n.
P
where
n = speed
f = frequency
P = number of poles.
The rule of thumb to follow for a 50Hz mai ns frequency i s that
the speed i n revoluti ons per mi nute ( r/mi n. or rpm) i s 6000
di vi ded by the number of poles.
For example a 4-pole motor wi ll have a synchronous speed
of:
6000
= 1,500 r/mi n.
4
Thi s speed can never actually be achi eved on load due to
sli p. O n no load, however, speed i s practi cally equal to the
synchronous speed.
To calculate sli p the followi ng equati on can be used:
n
1
-n
S = 100%
n1
where
S = sli p %
n
1
= synchronous speed, r/mi n.
n = asynchronous speed, r/mi n.
M otor sli p i s proporti onal to the power taken from the motor.
For example
A 4-pole motor of 4kW at 415V, 50Hz, 1425 r/mi n.
At 4kW sli p equals
1500 - 1425
S = 100 = 5%
1500
correspondi ng to 1500 - 1425 = 75 r/mi n.
At 3kW
1500 - 1425
S =
3
/
4
100 = 3.8%
1500
correspondi ng to
3
/4 ( 1500 - 1425 = 56 r/mi n.
Therefore n at 3kW wi ll be 1500 - 56 = 1444 r/mi n.
The sli p i s i nversely proporti onal to the square of the voltage.
For example
4-pole motor, 4kW, 415V, 50Hz, 1425 r/mi n.
415 1500 - 1425
At 380V; S = 100
380 1500
= 5.96%
415
correspondi ng to ( 1500 - 1425)
380
89 r/mi n.
n wi ll therefore be 1500 - 89 = 1411 r/mi n.

A motor wound for a gi ven voltage at 50Hz can be used

Notes: 1. That M /start/M and M max/M must be calculated

Torque
The torque of a motor i s the measure of i ts turni ng abi li ty. I f
the power and speed are known i t i s easy to calculate the
torque.
I f we refer to Fi gure 7 we can see that at the peri phery of a
pulley there i s a certai n force i n the belt. I f thi s force i s
referred to as F and the radi us of the pulley r, the product Fr
i s known as the torque M of the motor.
The power i s the work performed by the motor per uni t of
ti me; work i s force ti mes di stance. The force F rotates n
revoluti ons i n one mi nute and covers the di stance n 2
r.
Duri ng motor accelerati on the torque developed fi rst drops
sli ghtly then ri ses to i ts maxi mum ( Fi gure 8) .
I n normal motors the maxi mum torque occurs at 85 to 90% of
full speed.
At synchronous speed torque i s zero.
To calculate the rated torque of a motor the followi ng formula
can be used:
30,000 P
M = Nm
n
Where P = output, kN
n = motor speed, r/mi n.
For example
A motor i s rated at 1.5kW and 1400r/mi n. the di ameter of
pulley i s 100mm i .e. r = 0.05m. The torque and tracti on
developed at full power wi ll be:
30,000 1.5
M =
1400
M = 10.2Nm
10.2
Therefore F =
0.05
= 205N
Minimum torque
I EC Publi cati on 34-1 states certai n fi gures for general
purpose three-phase squi rrel cage motors. For si ngle-speed
motors wi th rated output < 100KW the mi ni mum torque
deli vered duri ng run up at rated voltage must not be less
than 50% of the rated torque and not less than 50% of the
starti ng torque. The fi gure for si ngle-phase motors i s 30% of
the rated torque.

160% of the rated torque for 15 seconds - wi thout stoppi ng
or suddenly changi ng speed - i f the rated voltage or
frequency i s mai ntai ned. Four-pole motors made by ABB
usually have a maxi mum torque that i s approxi mately 200 to
300% of the rated torque. Low speed motors usually have a
sli ghtly lower maxi mum torque than hi gh speed ones.
Torque on voltage deviation
Wi th ac i nducti on motors, the starti ng current decreases
sli ghtly more than proporti onately to the voltage. Thus at 90%
of the rated voltage the motor draws approxi mately 87-89%
of the starti ng current.
The starti ng torque i s proporti onal to the square of the
current. The torque deli vered at 90% of rated voltage i s
therefore only 75-79% of the starti ng torque. Thi s factor may
be of parti cular i mportance when choosi ng a motor for use
on a weak electri cal supply or when starti ng techni ques
based on current reducti on methods are employed ( Fi gure
9) .
Frequency of starting and reversing
When a motor i s frequently started, counter-current braked
or reversed, extra heat, due to the i ncrease i n losses, i s
produced reduci ng the motors abi li ty to perform at i ts rated
loaded output.
The followi ng formula can be used to obtai n an approxi mate
value.
3600 - k

X ts
1st

P2 = P1
3600 - X ts
where
P2 = permi tted load
P1 = rated output of motor
X = number of starts, braki ng or reversals per hour
ts = starti ng or braki ng ti me
1st
= starti ng current/braki ng current

K

= constant: 1 for starti ng, 3 for braki ng and 4 for
reversi ng.
The permi tted value of X i s determi ned wi th regards to the
temperature ri se wi thi n the motor.
For example
1st
A 4-pole motor 4kW, = 5.5
1
starti ng ti me ts = 0.5s. X = 10 starts per hour.
Therefore
P2
=
3600 - 1 10 0.5 ( 5.5) 2
= .979
P1 3600 - 10 0.5
I f the same formula i s used to calculate the requi red derati ng
on 10 reversals per hour
P2
=
3600 - 4 10 0.5 ( 5.5) 2
= .912
P1 3600 - 10 0.5
Types of duty
Vari ous types of duty have been defi ned by I EC Publi cati on
34-1 that descri be how the load, and thus the motor output
vari es wi th ti me. The motor must undergo a load test wi thout
exceedi ng the temperature li mi ts lai d down i n the
speci fi cati on.
Actual operati ng condi ti ons are often of a more i rregular
nature than those correspondi ng to any of the standard duty
types. I t i s therefore essenti al that when choosi ng and rati ng
a motor to deci de on the type of duty that corresponds best
to the thermal stresses that are expected to occur i n practi ce.
The most standard types of duty classes are:
S1 continuous duty
O perati on at a constant load, long enough for thermal
equi li bri um to be reached ( Fi gure 10) .
S2 short time duty
O perati on at constant load for a gi ven ti me that i s shorter than
the ti me needed to reach thermal equi li bri um, followed by a
rest and de-energi sed peri od. De-energi sati on peri od
should be long enough to allow the motor to reach a
temperature that does not devi ate from the temperature of
the cooli ng medi um by 2K ( Fi gure 11) .

S3 intermittent duty
A sequence of i denti cal duty cycles, where each cycle i s i n
two parts, one at constant load and the other at rest and de-
energi sed. I n thi s type of duty the starti ng current has no
si gni fi cant effect on the temperature ri se. The duty cycle i s
too short for thermal equi li bri um to be reached ( Fi gure 12) .
S4 intermittent duty with starting
A sequence of i ndi vi dual duty cycles, where each cycle
consi sts of a start that i s suffi ci ently long to have a si gni fi cant
effect on the motor temperature, a peri od of constant load
and a peri od at rest and de-energi sed. I n thi s type of duty the
starti ng current i s i nsi gni fi cant on the temperature ri se. The
duty cycles are too short for thermal equi li bri um to be
reached ( Fi gure 13) .
S5 intermittent duty with electrical braking
A sequence of i denti cal duty cycles, where each cycle
consi sts of a start, a peri od at constant load followed by rapi d
electri cal braki ng, and a rest and de-energi sed peri od. The
duty cycle i s too short for thermal equi li bri um to be reached
( Fi gure 14) .
S6 continuous operation
Periodic duty
A sequence of i denti cal duty cycles, where each cycle i s i n
two parts, one at constant load and the other at no load, no

Uprating
Because of the lower temperature ri se i n a motor operated
on short ti me or i ntermedi ate duty i t i s usually possi ble to
