PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1MOTOR REQUIREMENTS

  1. Motor requirements apply to factory-installed motors except as follows:
  2. Different ratings, performance, or characteristics for a motor are specified in another Section.
  3. Manufacturer for a factory-installed motor requires ratings, performance, or characteristics, other than those specified in this Section, to meet performance specified.

2.2MOTOR CHARACTERISTICS

  1. Motors 1/2HP and Larger: Three phase.
  2. Motors Smaller Than 1/2 HP: Single phase.
  3. Frequency Rating: 60 Hz.
  4. Voltage Rating: NEMA standard voltage selected to operate on nominal circuit voltage to which motor is connected.
  5. Duty: Continuous duty at ambient temperature of 105 degF and at altitude of 3300 feet above sea level.
  6. Capacity and Torque Characteristics: Sufficient to start, accelerate, and operate connected loads at designated speeds, at installed altitude and environment, with indicated operating sequence, and without exceeding nameplate ratings or considering service factor.
  7. Enclosure: Totally enclosed, fan cooled (TEFC).

2.3POLYPHASE MOTORS

  1. Description: NEMAMG1, DesignB, medium induction motor.
  2. Efficiency: Premium efficiency according to NEMA, unless otherwise specified.
  3. Stator: Copper windings, unless otherwise indicated.
  4. Multispeed motors shall have separate winding for each speed.
  5. Rotor: Squirrel cage, unless otherwise indicated.
  6. Bearings: Double-shielded, prelubricated ball bearings suitable for radial and thrust loading.
  7. Temperature Rise: Match insulation rating, unless otherwise indicated.
  8. Insulation: ClassF, unless otherwise indicated.
  9. Code Letter Designation:
  10. Motors 15 HP and Larger: NEMA starting CodeF or G.
  11. Motors Smaller Than 15 HP: Manufacturer's standard starting characteristic.
  12. Enclosure: Cast iron for motors 1.0 hp and larger; rolled steel for motors smaller than 1.0 hp.
  13. Frame: TEFC, T-frame unless otherwise specified.

2.4POLYPHASE MOTORS WITH ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

  1. Motors Used with Variable Frequency Controllers: Ratings, characteristics, and features coordinated with and approved by controller manufacturer.
  2. Designed with critical vibration frequencies outside operating range of controller output.
  3. Temperature Rise: Matched to rating for ClassB insulation.
  4. Insulation: ClassH.
  5. Thermal Protection: Comply with NEMAMG1 requirements for thermally protected motors.
  1. Rugged-Duty Motors: Totally enclosed fan cooled, with 1.25 minimum service factor, greased bearings, integral condensate drains, and capped relief vents. Windings insulated with nonhygroscopic material.
  2. Finish: Chemical-resistant paint over corrosion-resistant primer.

2.5SINGLE-PHASE MOTORS

  1. Type: The following, to suit starting torque and requirements of specific motor application:
  2. Permanent-split capacitor.
  3. Shaded-Pole Motors: For motors 1/20hp and smaller only.
  4. Thermal Protection: Internal protection to automatically open power supply circuit to motor when winding temperature exceeds a safe value calibrated to temperature rating of motor insulation. Thermal-protection device shall automatically reset when motor temperature returns to normal range.
  5. Bearings: Ball type for belt-connected motors and other motors with high radial forces on motor shaft; sealed, prelubricated-sleeve type for other single-phase motors.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

  1. Prepare for acceptance tests as follows:
  2. Run each motor with its controller. Demonstrate correct rotation, alignment, and speed at motor design load.
  3. Test interlocks and control features for proper operation.
  4. Verify that current in each phase is within nameplate rating.

3.2ADJUSTING

  1. Align motors, bases, shafts, pulleys and belts. Tension belts according to manufacturer's written instructions. Alignment and start-up report should be submitted as part of an O&M submission.

3.3CLEANING

  1. After completing equipment installation, inspect unit components. Remove paint splatters and other spots, dirt, and debris. Repair damaged finish to match original finish.
  2. Clean motors, on completion of installation, according to manufacturer's written instructions.
