ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH

IEEE STANDARD 841
1.0 OVERVIEW [Add]
1. This specification covers the requirements for horizontal and vertical totally enclosed fan-
cooled (TEFC) induction motors 500 HP, and smaller [National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA) frame size 143T through 449T (TS)], for use in severe duty applications.
2. Motors shall be built to NEMA Standard MG 1 and shall conform to ANSI/IEEE Standard
841-2001 (referred to as IEEE Standard 841), "IEEE Standard for Petroleum and Chemical
Industry -Severe Duty Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled (TEFC) Squirrel-Cage Induction Motors -
- Up to and Including 370 kW (500 hp)".
3. This specification does not cover other types of motors, such as open dripproof. Occasionally,
this specification may be used to purchase TEFC motors of 2300-V or 4000-V rating up to
NEMA frame size 5011.
4. Data Sheet ELC-DS-12.03 is a part of this specification.
NOTE: A bullet (•) beside an item in this specification indicates that a decision by the Purchaser
is required. These decisions should be indicated directly on the Data Sheet when provisions are
made for them; otherwise, they will be stated in the quotation request, purchase order, or accompa-
nying list sheets.
• 1.1 Scope [Add]

1. Where explosion-proof construction is specified, the motor shall meet the Underwriters Labo-
ratories (UL) listing requirements of UL 674, "Electric Motors and Generators for Use in Haz-
ardous Locations, Class I, Groups C and D, Class II, Groups E, F, and G".
2. Motors for use in Class I or II, Division 1 hazardous (classified) locations as defined by the
National Electrical Code (NEC) shall bear the UL listing mark.
3. The Manufacturer shall specifically identify any sections of this specification where the UL
listed motor cannot comply.
4. If a motor must be installed in a Division 1 classified location, one option is to use an "explo-
sionproof" motor with the UL listing mark.

a. The design for a "listed" motor must undergo an extensive series of tests as defined in UL
674.
b. These tests are not repeated for each individual motor built, so the Manufacturer cannot
deviate from the original design if he wants to maintain the listing mark.
c. We must accept the "listed" motor with no changes, but we want to know what compro-
mises have been made to the "severe duty" requirements of this specification as the bids
are evaluated.
5.0 ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE

• 5.2 Motor Designs and Starting Characteristics [Add]

When specified, motors other than NEMA Design B shall be supplied.

• 5.3 Power Supply Variation [Add]

When operation with an adjustable-speed drive (ASD) is specified, the motor shall operate satis-
factorily under the specified "Site Data" conditions with the specified ASD and shaft load.
5.4 Insulation System and Temperature Rise [Add]

• 5.4.1 (d) Insulation System [Add]

Where a voltage rating of 2300 V or above is specified, the windings shall have an epoxy
vacuum pressure impregnated (VPI) insulation system.
• 5.4.2 Temperature Rise [Add]
The winding temperature rise at service-factor load, where a service factor of 1.15 is spec-
ified, shall not exceed 194°F (90°C) (Class B service-factor temperature rise) by the resis-
tance method.
(FPN: Users should size and specify motors at 1.0 service-factor. Winding temperature
rise of a motor at 1.0 service-factor is 176°F (80°C). It is motor industry practice to indi-
cate 1.15 service-factor on the nameplate on these motors anyway. Specifying a motor
with 1.15 service-factor will invoke this paragraph and should be weighed against select-
ing a larger, 1.0 service-factor motor. Also, see note on the Data Sheet.)
• 5.4.3 Thermal Protection [Add]
When specified, or whenever an explosionproof (UL 674) motor is specified, a thermal
protector integral with the motor shall be provided. The device shall be set to limit the
temperature of the windings as described in MG 1-12.57 or 12.58, but shall not operate
below 120% of nameplate full-load current (1.0 service factor) nor greater than 140% of
the full-load current listed in Table 430-150 of the NEC. These requirements are all at an
ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C). The motor shall be designated "thermally pro-
tected" or "OVER TEMP PROT - 1, 2, or 3" as described in MG 1-12.58. This detail shall
be provided with the Manufacturer proposal.
6.0 MECHANICAL FEATURES
6.1 BEARINGS AND LUBRICATION
6.1(b) [Add]
Grease-packed bearings are preferred for vertical motors. The Manufacturer shall provide
technical justification when oil-lubricated bearings are proposed. For all types of motors,

Squirrel-Cage Induction Motors (Up to and Including 500 HP) ELC-SU-12.03

shaft seals shall be provided to prevent entrance of dirt and moisture along the shaft into
the bearing and grease reservoir (IP 55 Protection, per NEMA MG 1 Part 5).
6.1(c) [Add]
All vertical motors with solid couplings between the motor and load, or applications for
which the only thrust bearing is in the motor, shall have mounting face runout, mounting
rabbit eccentricity, shaft runout, and shaft axial end play within the limits of MG 1-18.251.
These motors are Type LP or LPH for Chemical Process In-Line Pump Applications, and
the suffix letters LP or LPH replace T or TS in the frame designation.
For vertical motors with flexible couplings between the motor and load and for which the
load has its own thrust bearing, a Type HP or HPH motor may be supplied with the runout
and eccentricity limits of MG 1-18.252. The suffix letters HP or HPH replace T or TS in
the frame designation.
For vertical hollow-shaft motors, Type P or PH base dimensions shall be according to MG
1-18.238 except the base's face runout and rabbit eccentricity shall not exceed 0.004 inch
indicator reading for all mounting-rabbit diameters. The suffix letters TP or TPH replace
T or TS in the frame designation.
• 6.1(d) [Add]
For vertical motors which are designed for external thrust loads, the thrust bearings shall
be rated for an AFBMA L-10 minimum life of 5000 hours continuous service at 200% of
the maximum specified up and down thrust. A pump may develop this maximum thrust
during starting or stopping or while performing at any capacity on the rated performance
curve.
• 6.1(h) [Add]
Other types of bearing lubrication methods such as oil mist, or nonregreasable factory
lubricated sealed bearings shall be provided when specified on the "Other Data" section of
the Data Sheet.
6.6 Drains [Add]
Explosionproof motors, when specified, shall be provided with an explosionproof drain fitting
with a UL listing mark.
• 9.0 TESTS

• 9.2 Tests on Motors Completely Assembled in the Factory [Add]

The tests described in this section, as amended by this specification, shall be performed on all
motors.
The report of the test and performance characteristics of the motor shall be presented on the form
from Section 10.2, Form B, of IEEE Standard 112-1996.
9.2 (b) [Add]
Voltage, current, and power input shall be measured at rated frequency with the rotor at
standstill. This may be taken single-phase or three-phase at rated or reduced voltage.

• 9.3 Additional Tests [Add]

The quoted motor efficiency for all motor ratings shall be determined according to MG 1-12.59.1
and IEEE Standard 112-1996, Method B (Section 6.4), and shall be the NEMA "Nominal Effi-
ciency" as listed in MG 1-12.59.2, Table 12-9. The efficiency, if tested by Method B at the motor
nameplate rating, shall not be less than the Minimum Efficiency associated with the Nominal
Efficiency value of Table 12-9.
• 9.3.1 Heat Run and Efficiency Test [Add]
When specified on the Data Sheet, the winding temperature rise, bearing temperature rise
[(see 6.1 (f), IEEE Standard 841)], and motor efficiency shall be determined by subjecting
the motor to a dynamometer test and IEEE Standard 112-1996, Method B (Section 6.4).
The test shall be conducted at 1.0 service factor. This test is only required for one of a
group of identically rated motors purchased at the same time, unless specified for every
motor on the Data Sheet.
• 9.3.2 Noise Test [Add]]
When specified on the Data Sheet, the motor shall be subjected to a noise test to demon-
strate compliance with Section 6.8 of this specification. This test is only required for one
of a group of identically rated motors purchased at the same time.
• 11.0 SPACE HEATERS - REQUIREMENTS [Add]

When specified on the Data Sheet, space heaters shall be provided which comply with this section.
The space heater leads shall be brought out to a terminal box separate from the power lead terminal
box.
An engraved caution nameplate shall be provided on the front of the motor terminal box stating
"CAUTION: SPACE HEATERS MAY BE ENERGIZED". The nameplate shall be black engrav-
ing on a yellow background.
The surface temperature of the heater element shall not exceed the temperature indicated on the
Data Sheet.
