Cooling Methods
Cooling methods of HX/M2BA Motors are in accordance with IS:6362. The motors are cooled by the method IC 0141, i.e. frame surface cooled, with external cooling fan on motor shaft. The fan is made of strong engineering plastic for frames upto 200 (aluminum alloy/cast iron option is also available). For frames 225 and above, aluminum alloy fans are used. Fans of all motors are bidirectional. The motors are provided with cooling ribs for increased surface area and improved cooling. An air gap is left between ribs and fan cover for cleaning purposes. The ribs are designed so that they keep the flow of air close to the surface of the motor along the entire length, thus improving self cleaning and cooling. The external ventilation of the motors is obtained by means of the fan mounted to the shaft, which sucks in the ambient air through the fan cover on the N-end and blows it over the frame in between the ribs. Fans are axially and radially locked to prevent vibration. The internal cooling of motors is affected by the churning action of internal air by the ribs on the die-cast rotor.

D-end and N-end

The ends of motors are defined as D-end; the end that is normally the drive end of the motor and N-end; the end that is normally the non-drive end of the motor.

Direction of rotation
In conformation with IS:4728, the terminals of the motor are marked such that when the alphabetic sequence of the terminals U1, V1, W1: U2, V2, W2 corresponds to the supply phase sequence L1, L2, L3 the motor runs in a clockwise direction, when seen from drive end. For anticlockwise operation of the motor, any two of the supply phase connections (L1, L2, L3) are exchanged to obviate the need for change of the terminal markings.

Insulation and insulation classes

Insulation materials are divided into insulation classes. Each class has a designation corresponding to the temperature that is the upper limit of the range of application of the insulating material under normal operating conditions. The winding insulation of a motor is determined on the basis of the temperature rise in the motor and the ambient temperature. The insulation is normally dimensioned for the hottest point in the motor at its normal rated output and an ambient temperature of 45C/50C. Motors subjected to ambient temperatures above 45C/50C will generally have to be derated. In most cases, the standard rated outputs of motors from ABB motors are based on the temperature rise for insulation class B. Where the temperature rise is according to class F, this is specified in the data tables. However, all the motors are designed with class F insulation, which permits a higher temperature rise than class B. The motors, therefore, have a generous overload margin. If temperature rise to class F is allowed, the outputs given in the tables can be increased by approximately 12%.

Temperature limits are according to standards. The extra thermal margin when using class F insulation with class B temperature rise makes the motors more reliable. 9

Effect of voltage and frequency variation

Almost without exception, the starting current decreases slightly more in proportion to the voltage. Thus for example 90% of rated voltage the motor will draw slightly less than 90% of the starting current, approximately 87 to 89%. The starting torque is proportional to the square of the current, the torque delivered at 90% of rated voltage is therefore only 75% to 79% of the starting torque. Particular attention should be paid to these points if the electrical supply is weak and when starting techniques based on current reduction are being used. The pull out torque is roughly proportional to the voltage. If the saturation of the magnetic circuit is neglected, then the general effect of variation in voltage and frequency on the characteristics of induction motor can be given as per the table below. Table - Effect of variation of voltage and frequency on the characteristics of induction motor* Characteristics Torque Starting & maximum Speed Synchronous Full load Slip Current Rated Starting No load Overload capability Temperature rise Magnetic noise Efficiency, full load No change Increase 1% Decrease 17% Decrease 7% Increase 10-12% Increase 10-15% Increase 21% Decrease 3-4% Slight increase Increase 0.5-1.0% No change Decrease 1.5% Increase 23% Increase 1% Decrease 10-12% Decrease 10-15% Decrease 19% Increase 6-7% Slight Decrease Decrease 2% Increase 1% Increase 5% Increase 5% Little change Slight decrease Decrease 5-6% Decrease 5-6% Slight decrease Slight decrease Slight decrease Slight increase Slight increase Decrease 5% Decrease 5% Little change Slight increase Increase 5-6% Increase 5-6% Slight increase Slight increase Slight increase Slight decrease Slight decrease Voltage 110% Increased by 21% 90% Decrease 19% Frequency 105% Decrease 10% 95% Increase 11%

Permitted output in high ambient temperature and high altitudes

Motors of basic design are intended for operation in a maximum ambient temperature of 45C and at maximum altitude of 1000 meters above mean sea level. If a motor is to be operated in higher ambient temperature or at higher altitude, it should normally be derated according to the following table.

The phase unbalance for voltage is calculated as follows: maximum difference in voltage compared to average voltage value % voltage imbalance = 100 x _____________________________________________________ average voltage value If this unbalance is known before the motor is purchased it is advisable to apply derating as per following table.

Electrical features

1. Voltage
Rated voltage is the voltage between line terminals for which the motor is designed. Standard voltage for motors is 415V. Motors can, however, be made available for any supply voltage between 220V and 660V. Motors for two different supply voltages have non standard windings and are available on request.

7. Rated current
It is the value of the current taken by the motor when delivering rated power at rated voltage and frequency. The value of rated currents are at specified voltage, for other voltages, Ux, the current Ix may be calculated as: 415.I Ix = Ux Where Ux = new voltage Ix = new current I = current at 415V

2. Frequency
Rated frequency is the frequency of the voltage for which the motor is designed. The basic design of the motor is suitable for a rated supply frequency of 50 Hz. HX/M2BA motors can be offered for any frequency in the range 25 Hz to 60 Hz, however, for supply frequency other than 50 Hz, they are made available on request.

The current consumption varies also with the loading of the motor, but it should be noted that the relationship is not linear.

8. Starting current
Usually, given as a percentage or as a multiple of rated current, it is the value of the current drawn by the motor during starting. The value of the starting current is generally between 500-700% (5-7 per unit) of the rated current.

3. Voltage and frequency variation

Motors can be operated continuously at rated output, with a long term voltage variation of 10%, frequency variations of 5% and a combined voltage and frequency variation of 10%, over rated values. The temperature rise may increase by 10K at extreme voltage and frequency. If the motors are required to operate continuously at voltage approaching the limits of voltage tolerances without exceeding the temperature rise limit, this must be specified at the time of enquiry.

9. Torque characteristics
Typical torque/speed characteristics of the motor is shown in figures on page no. 15 along with different relevant parameters. The nominal torque of the motor TN' is the torque developed by the motor at rated speed, n while delivering rated power P. The relationship between the torque TN' the power P, and the speed n is TN= 9550 x Where 415.I [Nm] Ux

4. Number of poles
Number of poles of the motor determine the basic speed (synchronous speed) of the motor. Standard motors are available in the configuration of 2,4,6 and 8-poles.

5. Power
Rated power is the shaft power of the motor with an ambient temperature not exceeding 45C/50C and an altitude not exceeding 1000m above mean sea level.

P = power (kW) n = motor speed (rpm) alternatively, torque T, in kgm can be given as TN= 974 x P n [kgm]

6. Rated speed, slip

Rated speed corresponds to the operating speed of the motor at the rated power when it is being fed at rated voltage and frequency. The synchronous speed of an induction motor depends on the supply frequency and the number of poles of the stator winding. Thus, hs= f p x 60(rpm)

Starting torque of the motor TS' is the torque developed by the motor at zero speed when it is directly switched on. Value of starting torque is usually given as a percentage or as a multiple of nominal motor torque TN. Pull out torque of the motor Tmax' is the maximum torque that the motor can develop when it is operated directly on line. Value of pull out torque is usually given as a percentage or as a multiple of nominal motor torque TN.

10. Moment of inertia

The moment of inertia J is given in Kgm2. The moment of inertia is numerically equal to 1/4 GD2. The moment of inertia JL of the driven machine at nL rpm when referred to motor speed n rpm is given by J = JL [nL/n]2

where hs= synchronous speed (rpm) f = frequency (Hz) p = number of pair of poles note 2p = number of poles The rated speed given in the list is for motors operating at rated power under normal voltage and frequency. The difference between synchronous speed, hs and rotor speed, n; referred to the synchronous speed, is called slip. This slip, s, is expressed as a percentage; hs - h x 100 (%) hs When the motor is partly loaded the slip varies almost linearly with the load. s=

11. Overloads
In accordance with IS:325 motors are rated to withstand an overload, an excess torque of 60% of their rated torque at rated voltage and frequency for 15 seconds.

Starting methods for AC motors

Reducing electrical and mechanical stress at start-up

The starting current of an AC motor can vary from 3 to 7 times the nominal current. This is because a large amount of energy is required to magnetise the motor enough to overcome the inertia the system has at standstill. The high current drawn from the network can cause problems such as voltage drop, high transients and in some cases, uncontrolled shutdown. High starting current also causes great mechanical stress on the motors rotor bars and windings and can affect the driven equipment and the foundations. Several starting methods exist, all aiming to reduce these stresses. The load, the motor and the supply network determine the most appropriate starting method. When selecting and dimensioning the starting equipment and any protective devices, the following factors must be taken into account: The voltage drop in the supply network when starting the motor The required load torque during start The required starting time

Direct-on-line (DOL) start:

Direct on line starting is suitable for stable supplies and mechanically stiff and well dimensioned systems. It is the simplest, cheapest and most common starting method. Starting equipment for small motors that do not start and stop frequently is simple, often consisting of a hand operated motor protection circuit breaker. Larger motors and motors that start and stop frequently, or have some kind of control system, normally use a direct-on-line starter which can consist of a contactor plus overload protection, such as a thermal relay.
UN Ist UN = Rated net voltage Ist = Start current at full voltage

Star-Delta (Y/D) starting:

Most low voltage motors can be connected to run at either 400V with delta connection or at 690V with star connection. This flexibility can also be used to start the motor with a lower voltage. Star/delta connection gives a low starting current of only about one third of that during direct-online starting, although this also reduces the starting torque to about 25%. The motor is started with Y-connection and accelerated as far as possible, then switched to D-connection. This method can only be used with induction motors delta connected for the supply voltage.
UN Ist UN = Rated net voltage Ist = Start current at full voltage

Soft starters
UN Soft starters are based on semiconductors, which, via a power circuit and a control circuit, initially reduce the motor voltage, resulting in lower motor torque. During the starting process, the soft starter progressively increases the motor voltage so that the motor becomes strong enough to accelerate the load to rated speed without causing torque or current peaks. Soft starters can also be used to control the stopping of a process. Soft starters are less costly than frequency converters but like frequency converters, they may inject harmonic currents into the grid, disrupting other processes. IstR UN = Rated net voltage UM IstR = Start current at red. voltage UM = Motor voltage

Frequency converter start

Although a frequency converter is designed for continuous feeding of motors, can also be used exclusively for start-up only. The frequency converter enables low starting current because the motor can produce rated torque at rated current from zero to full speed. As the price of frequency converters continues to drop, they are increasingly replacing soft starters. However in most cases they are still more expensive than soft starters, and like these, they inject harmonic currents into the network.

Starting time

Theory
The starting current of an induction motor is much higher than the rated current, and excessively long starting period causes harmful temperature rise in the motor. The high current also leads to electro-mechanical stresses. It is, therefore, of importance to know the time taken by the motor to accelerate the load to rated speed. This time is called starting time or acceleration time. Starting time depends upon: Total inertia of the system Torque speed curve of the motor Torque speed curve of load

If only the starting torque and maximum torque of the motor and the nature of the load are known, the starting time can be approximately calculated with the equation: K1 Tst = (JM + JL) x Tacc where Tst = Tacc = K1 = starting time acceleration torque as per diagrams, Nm as per table below Frequency Hz 50 50

Motor torque, Nm Load torque, Nm Moment of inertia of motor, kgm2 Moment of inertia of load, kgm2 Motor angular velocity

This method of calculation may be used for direct-on-line starting and for motors up to about 250kW. In other cases more points on the motor torque curves are required. In any case up to the point of maximum torque. If there is speed transformation between the motor and the driven machine, the load torque must be recalculated for the motor speed, by using the following formula: TL x nL nM = Recalculated load torque, Nm = Motor speed, rpm = Load speed, rpm

TL' =

where TL' nM nL

The moment of inertia must also be recalculated. JL'=JL' x (nL/nM)2 where JL'= Recalculated moment of inertia, kgm2

Electrical braking

Countercurrent braking (Plugging)

With countercurrent braking, an ordinary standard motor is switched at full speed for the opposite direction of rotation. This can be done with a reversing switch. After braking to a standstill, the motor starts in the opposite direction of rotation, unless the current is switched off at the right moment. A low speed detector is therefore used to cut off the supply to the motor when the speed approaches zero. Countercurrent braking gives a very high braking torque. The current during braking is about the same as during starting, so that there is a considerable temperature rise in the motor. Consequently the permitted frequency of braking with the countercurrent technique is only about one-quarter of the number of permitted braking can easily be exceeded with countercurrent braking, temperature sensors should always be used to protect the motor windings from overheating. The permitted number of counter current braking can be calculated approximately with the formula: 3600x X= Tbx where 4x Ist I

For slip-ring motors the starting and braking times are both determined by the dimensioning of the rheostatic starter.

With countercurrent braking there is no braking action in the event of power failure. The technique is therefore unsuitable for use in plant where loss of braking could cause danger.

Although the load torque contributes to the braking torque, making allowance for it complicates the calculation unduly if the braking time must be accurately known. It can therefore be said that the braking torque is approximately equal to the acceleration torque, when the load current is approximately zero.

Speed detector with countercurrent braking

A low speed detector designed to cut off the supply to the motor when the speed approaches zero can be used to terminate countercurrent braking at the right instant. The speed detector is usually mounted on the N-end of the motor and is driven from the motor shaft via a coupling.

18

Direct-current braking
When braking with this technique, the a.c. supply to the motor is disconnected and the stator is excited with direct current; this causes the motor to produce a braking torque. An ordinary standard motor and suitable equipment for d.c. excitation may be used. The a.c. voltage follows a decay curve, and the d.c. voltage must not be connected until the a.c. voltage has fallen to a value at which it will not harm the d.c. equipment. The excitation current is determined by the braking time chosen, but is usually 1 to 2 times the rated current of the motor. However, saturation of the magnetic circuit imposes a limit on the braking torque. Direct-current braking gives a far longer braking time than countercurrent braking, however high the excitation current, but thermal losses are lower, so more frequent braking is permissible. If the d.c. voltage fails there will be no braking action. The technique is therefore unsuitable for use in plants where loss of braking could cause danger.

Regenerative braking
This is the method of braking multi-speed motors when changing down to lower speeds. The thermal stresses are approximately equal to those occuring when motors with dual speed connections are started at lower rated speed. With the motor at the lower speed working as a generator, it develops very high braking torque in the interval between operating speeds of motor corresponding to the two poles. The maximum braking torque is slightly higher than the starting torque of the motor at the lower speed. Regenerative braking is also used with variable speed drives. Based on the thermal stesses developed during different braking methods, with reference to those developed during direct-on-line starting, following thermal equivalence is drawn.

After the duty type the following factors must be indicated; the cyclic duration factor; the number of duty cycles per hour (c/h); the factor of inertia FI; the moment of inertia, JM, of the motor rotor; and the permissible average moment of resistance, TV, during the change of the speed given with the rated load torque. The factor inertia FI is the ratio of the total moment of inertia, to the moment of inertia of the motor rotor. Designation e.g. S4 - 25% - 129 c/h - FI.2 - JM = 0,1 kgm2 - TV = 0,5 TV. 20

Braking method is electrical braking e.g. countercurrent braking. The period is too short for thermal equilibrium to be obtained. After the duty type the following factors must be indicated: the number of duty cycles per hour c/h, the factor of inertia FI: the moment of inertia JM of the motor, and the permissible moment of resistance TV ( See duty type S4) Designation e.g. S7 40% - 500 c/h - FI.2 - JM = 0.08 kgm2 - TV = 0,5 TN. A sequence of identical duty cycles, each cycle consisting of a period of starting, a period of operation at constant load corresponding to a predetermined speed of rotation, followed by one of more periods of operation at other constant loads corresponding to different speeds of rotation. The period is too short for thermal equilibrium to be obtained. This duty type is used for example by pole changing motors. After the duty type the following factors must be indicated; the number of duty cycles per hour c/h; the factor of inertia FI; the permissible average moment of resistance TV (see duty type S4); the cyclic duration factor for each speed of rotation and the moment of inertia JM of the motor. Designation e.g. S8 - 30 c/h - FI.30 - TV = 24 kW - 740 rpm - 30% 30 c/h - FI.30 - TV = 0.5 TN = 60 kW - 1460 rpm - 30% 30 c/h - FI.30 - TV = 0.5 TN = 45 kW - 980 rpm - 40% JM = 2,2 kgm2 The combinations of the load and speed of rotation are designed in the order they occur in use.

S9 Duty with non-periodic load and speed variations

A duty in which, generally, load and speed are varying nonperiodically within the permissible operating range. This duty includes frequently applied overloads that may greatly exceed the full loads. For this duty type, suitable full load values should be taken as the basis of the overload concept.

Protection accessories

Space heaters
Motors subjected to atmospheric condensation, either through standing idle on a damp environment or because of the wide variation in the temperature of the surroundings, may be fitted with a heater for extra precaution. The heater ensures that the temperature of the air inside the motor, is maintained a few degrees above that of the ambient to avoid any condensation. Such heaters shall not be kept ON when the motor is operating. These space heaters are generally rated for 240 V ac/dc. For motors not having the provision of space heaters, 24 V dc supply can be applied between any two terminals. The leads of space heaters for frame 160 to 400 are terminated in a separate auxiliary terminal box

Thermistors
PTC thermistor is the most common type of temperature detector. It is the characteristics of the thermistors that its resistance hardly varies with increasing temperature until the threshold temperature is reached, thereafter the resistance increases sharply as shown in figure below. Thermistors must be connected to a separate control unit which trips power circuit when the resistance in the thermistor circuit increases abruptly. Thermistors generally provided are rated for 130C (PTC 130) for class B rise and 155C (PTC 155) for class F rise. Normally three thermistors are provided in series - one thermistor in each phase. Six nos. (three nos. for tripping and three nos. for alarm.) can be provided if intimated at the time of enquiry. Like space heaters, the leads of thermistors for frame 160 to 400 are terminated in a separate auxiliary terminal box.

Voltage drop along the cable

Induction motors draw heavy currents during starting, resulting in considerable voltage drop along the cable, If other loads are connected in parallel to the motors, the voltage drop along the common feeder causes operational problems to these associated loads. Larger the starting current and longer the common feeder, larger will be the voltage drop. In view of this while specifying motors or cables, it is required to estimate the right combination of starting current and cable size, alternatively, it is important to know voltage drop for an installation when starting / locking of motors occurs such that the maximum voltage drop is less than 3%. The relative voltage drop, D u is estimated as Du = u - *100 U where, U is the rated voltage of the motor u is the voltage drop given as u = b rx L cosf + lLsinf Is S where u b r = Voltage drop = Factor equal to 1 for three-phase circuits and equal to 2 for single phase circuits = Resistivity of conductors in normal duty taken as being equal to the resistivity at the normal duty temperature, i.e. 1.25 times the resistivity at 20C, giving 0.02250 mm2/m for copper and 0.0360mm2/m for aluminium = Length of cabling in meters = Cross section of conductors in mm2 = Power factor, if exact figure is not available it is equal to 0.8 and sin~ = 0.6 = Linear reactance of conductors, taken as being equal to 0.08mQ/m if the exact figure is not available = Current in use

Determination of withstand capability

Since the negative sequence currents result in overloading, the amount of negative sequence current carried by the winding as a percentage of rated current can be used as a measure of overloading due to unbalance. The thermal withstand characteristics of the machine available for different overload conditions can be used to represent the capacity of the machine to withstand negative sequence voltage and current. The negative sequence withstand characteristics are design specific and will vary from motor to motor. A sample method for obtaining negative sequence withstand characteristics of the motor is given hereunder. Sample calculation: Let nominal voltage be 415 V and rated current be 60A. Under unbalance condition let the voltages be V = 385 L0 V V = 410 L120 V V = 425 L 240 V 385 + 410 + 425 = 407V 3 Unbalance voltage = 425 - 407 x 100 = 4.42% 407 Negative sequence voltage Average voltage = VN = 3850 + a2410120 + a425240 3 =11.66158 V

L S cosf l lS

% negative sequence voltage = 11.66 / 407 = 2.86% (appx. 3%) Now if the parameters of the machine are as given below: R1 = 0.052 R2 = 0.071 X1 = 0.51 X2 = 0.53 s = 0.0123 then s1 = 2. 0.0123 = 1.9877 From the equivalent circuit diagram VN (R1+ R2 1s1)+ j(X1 + X2) 11.66L158 (0.052 + 0.071/1.9877) + j (0.51+ 0.53) = 11.17 L -243.4 This corresponds to 18.6% (approx. 20%) of the rated current for the case considered here. This condition can be equated to an overload of 20%. Now the thermal withstand characteristics of the motor can be used to obtain the thermal withstand time for this particular motor. Similarly, thermal withstand time for different negative sequence voltage of voltage unbalance can be calculated. The following table gives the thermal withstand time of this sample motor for different negative sequence voltage. % negative sequence voltage 1 2 3 % negative sequence current 6 10 20 40 60 withstand time, sec Cold continuous continuous 3500 1600 1100 Hot continuous continuous 1800 600 400 23

Negative sequence withstand characteristics

Negative sequence withstand characteristics are used to obtain capability of the motor to withstand the overloading caused by negative sequence currents that occur due to unbalance in supply voltage. While % unbalance in voltage is given by the ratio Max. deviation (phase value) from average value x 100 Average value The negative sequence voltage, VN for any degree of unbalance can be calculated by VN = 1/3 (Va + (a2Vb + a Vc) where a = 1 L120 and a2 = 1 L240 Estimation of negative sequence current Once negative sequence voltage is known amount of negative sequence current that is ultimately responsible for overloading can be estimated from the following equivalent circuit of the motor. The value of circuit parameters can be obtained from design or from test results.

Mechanical

Enclosure
Motors in frame 71 to 315 have cast iron enclosures and larger ones have fabricated enclosures. Foot mounted motors have integrated feet. The housing and the end shields are machined to class tolerances to obtain perfect alignment and fits.

Terminal box
As standard practice, the terminal box is located on the top of the motor. Extended side terminal box can be offered for frame 90 to 280. The terminal boxes for frames 71 to 280 are rotatable in the steps of 900 and are made of die cast aluminum alloy. For frames 225 and 400 the terminal boxes are rotatable in steps of 900 and are made from cast iron. For all the terminal boxes protection of enclosure of IP 55. Motor upto 1.5 kW (2 hp) are provided with 3 terminal and others are provided with 6 terminals as standard practice. The terminal plates and lead ferrules are marked U1, V1 and W1, of U1, V1, W1 and U2, V2, W2. Terminal boxes have provision for fixing cable glands to support copper or aluminum cables.

Core
The stator and rotor cores of the motor are made of high quality cold rolled non-grain oriented magnetic steel having low iron loss.

Protection against corrosion

Special attention has been paid to the finish. Polyurethane paint is applied to motors. This provides an excellent finish and protection against corrosion. The color of the paint is Munsell Blue. All the hardware are zinc passivated to give reliable anticorrosion protection under most server environmental conditions.

Drain holes
Motors for operation in very humid or wet environments, and especially under intermittent duty, should be provided with drain holes. HX Motors from frame HX 180 onwards are provided with drain holes and closeable plastic drain plugs in the drain holes. The plugs will be opened, on delivery. When mounting the motors, it should be ensured that the drain holes face downwards. In the case of vertical mountings, the upper plug must be hammered home completely. In very dusty environments, both plugs should be hammered home.

Winding and insulation

The insulation of the motors meet class F requirements (temperature limit 155C) the normal temperature however does not exceed the values permitted by class B (temperature limit 130C). The motors therefore have large overload margin and long winding lifetime. If the temperature rise to class F is allowed, the outputs given in the table can generally be increased by approximately 12%. Motor stators are wound with enamel wire and the winding is then impregnated with solventless resin. The impregnation effectively fills the gaps between conductors and makes the winding mechanically strong, moisture and tropic proof. The rotor cages of the motors upto 315 frames have die cast construction whereas those of larger motors have fabricated construction.

Earthing
Provision is given for earthing of motor. One earthing terminal on terminal box and two earthing terminals on motor body are provided.

Shaft and shaft extension

The shaft is made of EN8/C40 steel. On special request shaft with EN24 steel can be offered. Standard motors have cylindrical shaft extension in accordance with IS:1231. Non standard shaft extensions on drive end are also available on request. Orders should be accompanied by a sketch of the shaft extension and if need be, a clear text description. A second shaft extension has to be ordered as a special design. All shaft extension of frame sizes have a drilled and tapped shaft according to IS:1231. All standard flange motors comply with tolerances N (normal) according to IS:2223 with respect to shaft extension runout, concentricity and perpendicularity of the extension in relation to the flange face.

Pulley diameter

When the desired bearing life has been determined, the minimum permissible pulley diameter can be calculated using FR' as follows: D= 1.9 x 10 x K x P n x FR where: D = Diameter of pulley, mm P = Power requirement, kW n = Motor speed, r/min K = Belt tension factor, dependent on belt type and type of duty. A common value for V-belts is 2.5. FR= Permissible radial force

Permissible loadings on shaft

The tables below give the permissible radial force in newtons, assuming zero axial force. The values are based on normal conditions at 50Hz and calculated bearing lives for motor sizes 71 to 132 of 20000 hours and for motor sizes 160 to 400 of 20,000 and 40,000 hours. Motors are foot-mounted 1MB3 version with force directed sideways. In some cases the strength of the shaft affects the permissible forces. At 60Hz the values must be reduced by 10%. For two - speed motors, the values must be based on the higher speed. Permissible loads of simultaneous radial and axial forces will be supplied on request. If the radial force is applied between points X0 and Xmax' the permissible force FR can be calculated from the following formula : FR=FX0 - (FX0 - FXmax) E = length of shaft extension in basic version

Testing

The standard test programmes are dividing into four parts: routine tests, type tests, optional tests and special tests. The routine test program is done to every machine. Type test is performed in addition to routine tests normally to one of the machines of a series of similar machines or by a request of the customer. Optional tests are additional type tests subject to mutual agreement between purchases and the manufacturer. Special tests are needed if the machine has to run in special conditions e.g. roller table, hazardous areas, cranes applications. The special test program is specified by the customer/consultant/standards bureaus. If the motor will be fed by a frequency converter it is most often tested together with the frequency converter. Unless otherwise specified all the tests are performed according to standard IS:325-1996.

Motors for frequency converter drive

Squirrel cage induction motors offer excellent availability, reliability and efficiency. In addition to that, a motor with a frequency converter - variable speed drive (VSD) - has even more excellent properties. A variable speed drive motor can be started softly with low starting current, and the speed can be controlled and adjusted to suit the application demand without steps over a wide range. Also the use of a frequency converter together with a squirrel cage motor usually leads to remarkable energy savings. Most of the squirrel cage motors manufactured by ABB are suitable for variable speed use, but in addition to the general selection criteria, the following points must be taken into account:

At low speed operation the motor's ventilation fan loses its cooling capacity, which causes a higher temperature rise in the motor and bearings. A separate constant speed fan can be used to increase cooling capacity and loadability at low speed. It also important to check the performance of the grease at low speeds.

3. Lubrication
The effectiveness of the motor lubrication should be checked by measuring the bearing temperature under normal operating conditions. If the measured temperature is higher than + 80C, the relubrication intervals specified in ABB' s standard instruction manuals must be shortened; i.e. the relubrication interval should be halved for every 15K increase in bearing temperature. If this is not possible ABB recommends the use of lubricants suitable for high operating temperature conditions. These lubricants allow normal relubrication interval and a 15K increase in bearing temperature conditions.

1. Dimensioning
The voltage (or current) fed by the frequency converter is not purely sinusoidal. This may increase the losses, vibration, and noise of the motor. Furthermore, a change in the distribution of the losses may affect the motor temperature balance and lead to an increase in the temperature of the bearings. In every case, the motor must be correctly sized according to the instructions supplied with the selected frequency converter. When using ABB converters use the Drive Size dimensioning program or "ISOTHERM GUIDE-LINES" of the corresponding converter type for sizing the motors. The loadability curve of a standard motor used with a ACS 600-frequency converter can be found from figure 3.

4. Insulation protection
If the frequency converter has IGBT power components with very rapid switching, practically all cables between the converter and the motor will be long. In that case, steep voltage pulses and reflections at the cables increase voltage stresses at the winding of the motor and therefore, the precautions described in figure 2 below must betaken to avoid risks of insulation damage. For GTO converters, consideration must be given to the information about cable length, pulse rise time and the voltage overshoot using the voltage/ cable length guideline.

2. Speed range
In a frequency converter drive, the actual operating speed of the motor may deviate considerably from its nominal speed (i.e. the speed stamped on the rating plate). For higher speeds, ensure that the highest permissible rotational speed of the motor or the critical speed of the entire equipment is not exceeded. When high speed operation exceeds the nominal speed of the motor, the following points should be checked: Maximum torque of the motor Bearing construction Lubrication Balancing Critical speeds Shaft seals Ventilation Fan noise Permissible maximum speeds for standard motors are described in figure 1. Figure 1. Maximum permissible speeds for basic motors Frame size 71 - 200 225 - 280 315 355 400 Speed r/min 2-pole 4 -pole 4000 3600 3600 3600 3600 3600 2600 2300 2200 1800

5. Bearing currents
Bearing voltages and currents must be avoided in all motors. When using an IGBT frequency converter insulated bearings and/or a properly dimensioned filter at the converter output must be used according to instructions in figure 2 below. (For other alternatives and converter types, please contact ABB.) When ordering clearly state which alternative will be used. For more information about bearing currents and voltages, please contact ABB.

6. Cabling, grounding and EMC

The use of a frequency converter causes some extra requirements on the cabling and grounding of the drive system. The motor must be cabled by using shielded symmetrical cables and cable glands providing a 360 bonding (also called EMCglands). For motors up to 30 kW unsymmetrical cables can be used, but shielded cables are always recommended. For motor frame size 280 and upward, additional potential equalisation between the motor frame and the machinery is needed, unless they are installed on a common steel fundament. When a steel fundament is used for the potential equalisation, the high frequency conductivity of this connection should be checked. More information about grounding and cabling of a variable speed drive can be found from the manual "Grounding and cabling of the drive system" (Code: 3AFY 61201998RO125REVA)

31

For fulfilling the EMC requirements, special EMC cable(s) must be used in addition to the correct cable gland mounting, with special, extra earthing pieces. Please refer to the manuals of the frequency converter. Figure 2. Selection rule for insulation and filtering in variable speed drives

dU/dt filter
Series reactor. dU/dt filters decrease the changing rate of the phase and main voltages and thus reduce voltage stresses in the windings. dU/dt filters also decrease so called common mode currents and bearing currents.

Motor loadability with ACS 600

The loadability curve in figure 3 below is a guide line curve, for exact values please contact ABB. These guidelines present the maximum continuous load torque of a motor as a function of frequency (speed) to give the same temperature rise as with rated sinusoidal supply at nominal frequency and full rated load. The temperature rise of squirrel cage motors manufactured by ABB is normally class B. If the ABB catalogue indicates that class F temperature rise is utilised on a sinusoidal supply, the dimensioning of the motor at frequency converter supply should be done according to the temperature rise class B loadability curve For further information, please contact ABB. .

Common mode and light common mode filters

Common mode filters are made of toroidal cores installed around motor cables. These filters reduce so called common mode currents in VSD applications and thus decrease the risk of bearing currents. Common mode filters do not significantly affect the phase or main voltages on the motor terminals. For the exact type of the core, please contact ABB. Common Mode Filter = 3 toroidal cores per each 3-phase motor cable Light Common Mode Filter = 1 toroidal core per each 3-phase motor cable

Frequency asked questions

Q. What are the general performance concerns of motor?

Rated current, speed, starting current, starting torque, efficiency, power factor, noise and vibration. Above all is the temperature rise of the motor in accordance with operating environment and class of insulation.

Q. What is the normal value of no-load current?

There is no standard value of no-load current. It depends on the design philosophies and manufacturing practices. This parameter is in-fact manufacturer specific and its value varies widely from manufacturer to manufacturer. Further, pole number and size of motor greatly influence values of no-load current. Value of no-load current can vary from 20% of full load current for 4 pole motors to 80% for 8 pole motor. Similarly, in smaller motors the value of noload current as a percentage of full load current is much higher as compared to larger motors. In smaller motors of higher pole numbers, there are cases where no-load current is higher than full load current.

Q. Why is the consideration for efficiency growing ?

Higher efficiency means lower kW power drawn from electric supply and hence, lower electricity bills. Further, energy efficient operation has been a top social obligation from an environmental and global viewpoint.

Q. How are efficiency and power factor correlated?

Due to continuous innovations made in the designs of motors, over the years, values of efficiency and power factor in standard motors have reached an optimum level. Thus here onwards, unless an entirely new series of motors are made, improvement in one adversely affects other. That is, in standard motors, an attempt to improve efficiency normally results in lower power factor and vice-versa.

Q. How is no-load current related to the design philosophy?

Since EBDs use magnetic circuit more optimally than electric circuit, the magnetising current could be higher as compared to PFBDs. This could lead to higher no-load current in EBD designs.

Q. Is there any adverse effect of higher no-load current on the motor?

No, if the motor is designed for higher no-load current, it would have no effect on its declared performance and life.

Q. What is efficiency based design (EBD) and what is power factor based design (PFBD) ?
Around the world, in standard series motors, there are two design philosophies. One is called "Efficiency Based Design (EBD)" and the other is called "Power Factor Based Design (PFBD)". In the former case, the basic design including stamping designs are optimised for maximising efficiency, while retaining power factor to reasonably acceptable level. Where as in the latter case, it is otherwise.

Q. Does higher no-load current design affect other performance parameters?

Only in a few cases, the rated current of EBD motors could be slightly higher than that of PFBD motors. Since the motor is designed for the rated current, declared performance is guaranteed. But in terms of input kW, EBD motors would result in lower electricity bills. After all it must be understood that noload current is a quality control parameter and not a performance parameter.

Q. What is the difference in electromagnetic parameters in case of the above two designs?
EBDs are based on lower losses and hence lower resistances. Lower resistance in the circuit could lead to lower power factor. Where as PFBDs have higher rotor resistances.

Q. Why EBDs are more popular than PFBDs ?

Both efficiency and power factor can be built into the motor. But once the motor is built, efficiency can not be improved by external measures, though, power factor can be improved by using capacitors. Hence, the usual practice is to maximise the motor efficiency at design stage and improve power factor at operational stage i.e. by capacitors. A case study of benefits in energy saving by employing EBD motor is illustrated below for 3 number 30kW /4pole motors in a pump application. Parameter Efficiency, % Power factor Ampere= Rated kw/(sqrt(3)xVxEffxPower factor) PFBD EBD motor motor 90 0,89 52 92.5 0.83 54

Q. How EBDs and PFBDs compare on other performance parameters?

Since EBDs have lower rotor resistances, the starting torque could be lower. To compensate this, flux level might go up leading to higher magnetic current.

Q. How about starting current?

Starting current is dependent on stator and rotor leakage reactances and resistances. Since leakage reactances and resistances are lower for EBDs, the starting current is likely to be higher as compared to the case of PFBDs.

Q. What is no-load current and why is one concerned about it?

No-load current is a quality control parameter used to check health of motor as per design and manufacturing practice. It is a normal practice to provide this data to the customer for each motor, so that the motor could be subjected to routine test, as and when required.
