 INTRODUCTION

Our Vertical Holloshaft motor was developed to meet the specific needs of the turbine pump industry. With the pump shaft extended through
the hollow shaft, adjustment can be made by a nut threaded on the pump shaft, at the accessible top portion of the motor. This adjustment
is required to lift the impellers and give a running clearance with the pump casing. The stretch of several hundred feet of shafting may require
a lift at the top of the well, and the impeller at the bottom must be positioned within a fraction of an inch.

The drive coupling also provides a solution to the problem of power reversal. The pump shaft is usually composed of many lengths joined
by screw thread couplings. A power reversal would unscrew the joints, causing the shaft to lengthen and buckle or break. The self-release
coupling lifts out of engagement and prevents this problem.

The first Holloshaft motor was introduced in 1924 by U.S. Motors.

The vertical motor has some terminology associated with it that is different from the terminology used with horizontal motors. The term thrust
needs to be understood - it is the sum of the axial forces of the weight of pump and lineshaft and the dynamic forces of the pump to lift the
liquid to the surface.

So, in addition to normal induction motor classifications, the vertical motor is also classified by thrust. NEMA does not specifically define
thrust ratings for motors. Each manufacturer will define thrust rating for their product offering. 100% high thrust, 175% high thrust and 300%
high thrust are common.

Normal thrust motors are used in general applications where there is no or very low external thrust applied to the motor bearing. It is often
a footless horizontal motor with a "P" flange (the "P" flange is a pump flange mounting for the vertical motor).

In-Line thrust, sometimes called medium thrust, is a definite purpose motor. The pump impellers are mounted directly on the motor shaft.
Since the pump impeller performance depends on close tolerance with the pump housing, the motor shaft and flange run-out tolerances
must also be tighter than normal. The thrust bearing is usually located at the bottom rather than at the top as in high thrust construction.
This keeps the motor rotor's thermal growth from affecting the impeller clearances.

Emerson Motors enclosures provide protection against specific environmental conditions. Our motors are available in Weather Protected
I and Weather Protected II, Totally Enclosed, and Explosionproof.

 INTRODUCTION

Weather Protected Type I:

Open motors are constructed to minimize the entrance of rain, HOLLOSHAFT or
snow, and airborne particles. Our enclosures exceed NEMA SOLID SHAFT WPI
requirements because U.S. Motors has built in the extra protection 3 - 4000 HP
needed for rugged outdoor applications. The ventilation system is Stock Page 21
designed to provide optimum cooling to the thrust bearing and MODIFIED Page 32
electrical components, and is available in all motor sizes.

Weather Protected Type II:

This NEMA enclosure offers maximum protection against hostile HOLLOSHAFT or
outdoor atmospheres. The special ventilation system minimizes SOLID SHAFT WPII
the entrance of high velocity air, moisture, and airborne particles 250 - 4000 HP
into the cooling passages of the motor.

This unique design allows Emerson Motors to use standard

internal components and adapt special enclosures with minimum
delay.

Totally Enclosed and Explosionproof:

HOLLOSHAFT or
Totally Enclosed and Explosionproof models (with our non-spark- SOLID SHAFT
ing, non-reverse ratchet design) are available for severe atmo- Totally Enclosed
spheres where destructive dusts, vapors, and other harmful sub- and Explosionproof
stances are found. Where Underwriters' Laboratories approval is 3 - 700 HP
necessary, Emerson Motors Explosionproof design is the answer. Stock Page 21
They are available in motor sizes through 700 horsepower. MODIFIED Page 47

CORRO-DUTY cast iron construction is also available with exter-

nal corrosion resistant paint and hardware for extremely harsh
environments.

 INTRODUCTION

Following, for your assistance in determining your motor enclosure needs, is a comparison of environmental protection classifications of
IEC 34-5 and NEMA MG1 - 1.25 and 1.26. Direct correlation is not always possible - the following represents the more common
interpretations.

NEMA IEC
OPEN MACHINES (MG1-1.25)
An open machine is one having ventilating openings which permit
passage of external cooling air over and around the windings of the
machine. The term "open machine," when applied to large
apparatus without qualification, designates a machine having no
restriction to ventilation other than that necessitated by mechanical
construction. (Reference only – USEM does not provide for "P" base
verticals).

DRIPPROOF MACHINE
A dripproof machine is an open machine in which the ventilating
openings are so constructed that successful operation is not
interfered with when drops of liquid or solid particles strike or enter
the enclosure at any angle from 0° to 15° downward from the vertical.
(Reference only – USEM does not provide for "P" base verticals).
DRIPPROOF GUARDED MACHINE
A guarded machine is an open machine in which all openings giving
direct access to live metal or rotating parts (except smooth rotating
surfaces) are limited in size by the structural parts or by screens,
baffles, grilles, expanded metal, or other means to prevent
accidental contact with hazardous parts. Openings giving direct
access to such live or rotating parts shall not permit the passage of
a cylindrical rod 3/4 inch in diameter. (Reference only – USEM does
not provide for "P" base verticals).
WEATHER PROTECTED MACHINES
TYPE I – A Weather Protected Type I machine is an open machine
with its ventilating passages so constructed as to minimize the
entrance of rain, snow, and airborne particles to the electric parts
and having its ventilated openings so constructed as to prevent the
passage of a cylindrical rod 3/4 inch in diameter. (Standard on
USEM "P" base verticals).
TYPE II – A Weather Protected Type II machine shall have (in
addition to the enclosure defined for a Weather Protected Type I
machine) its ventilating passages at both intake and discharge so
arranged that high velocity air and airborne particles blown into the
machine by storms or high winds can be discharged without entering
the internal ventilating passages leading directly to the electric parts
of the machine itself. The normal path of the ventilating air which
enters the electric parts of the machine shall be so arranged by
baffling or separate housings as to provide at least three abrupt
changes in direction; none of which shall be less than 90°. In
addition, an area of low velocity not exceeding 600 feet per minute
shall be provided in the intake air path to minimize the possibility of
moisture or dirt being carried into the electric parts of the machine.
IP 12
Protection against accidental or inadvertent contact with live and
moving parts inside the enclosure by a large surface of the human
body (for example: a hand) but no protection against deliberate
access to such parts.
Protection against ingress of large solid foreign bodies (diameter
greater than 50 mm).
Machine protected against drops of water falling up to 15° from the
vertical.
IP 22
Protection against contact by finger with live or moving parts inside
the enclosure.1
Protection against ingress of small solid foreign bodies (diameter
greater than 12 mm).
Machine protected against drops of water falling up to 15° from the
vertical.
IP 23
Machine protected against spraying water.
A machine is weather protected when its design reduces the ingress
of rain, snow, and airborne particles, under specified conditions, to
an amount consistent with correct operation.
IPW 23
Protection against contact by finger with live or moving parts inside
the enclosure.
Protection against ingress of small solid foreign bodies ( diameter
greater than 12 mm).
Water falling as a spray at an angle equal to or smaller than 60° with
respect to the vertical shall have no harmful effect.1
IPW 24
Protection against contact by finger with live or moving parts inside
the enclosure.
Protection against ingress of small solid foreign bodies (diameter
greater than 12 mm).
Water splashed against the machine from any direction shall have
no harmful effect.

 INTRODUCTION

NEMA IEC
TOTALLY ENCLOSED MACHINES (MG1-1.26)
A Totally Enclosed machine is one so enclosed as to prevent the
free exchange of air between the inside and the outside of the case
but not sufficiently enclosed to be termed airtight.

A Totally Enclosed non-ventilated machine is a Totally Enclosed

machine which is not equipped for cooling by means external to
the enclosing parts.

A Totally Enclosed fan cooled machine is a Totally Enclosed

machine equipped for exterior cooling by means of a fan or fans
integral with the machine but external to the enclosing parts.

TOTALLY ENCLOSED FAN COOLED GUARDED IP 44

A Totally Enclosed fan cooled guarded machine is a Totally
Enclosed fan cooled machine in which all openings giving direct
access to the fan are limited in size by the design of the structural
parts or by screens, grilles, expanded metal, etc., to prevent
accidental contact with the fan.
Special Note: USEM standard WPII with filters meets the intent of
IP-44.
Protection against contact with live or moving parts inside the
enclosure by tools, wires, or such objects of thickness greater
than 1 mm.
Protection against ingress of small solid foreign bodies (diameter
greater than 1 mm) excluding the ventilation openings (intake and
discharge of external fans) and the drain hole of enclosed
machine, which may have degree 2 protection.
Water splashed against the machine from any direction shall
have no harmful effect.

WPI and WPII on TITAN frames may be utilized in place of IP-54. IP 54

Complete protection against contact with live or moving parts
In extremely dusty areas WP-II with filters should be used. On
inside the enclosure.1
frames 440 or smaller, TEFC is an acceptable enclosure.
Protection against harmful deposits of dust. The ingress of dust
is not totally prevented, but dust cannot enter in an amount
sufficient to interfere with satisfactory operation of the machine.

Water splashed against the motor from any direction shall have
no harmful effects.

TOTALLY ENCLOSED FAN COOLED WATERPROOF
MACHINE
A waterproof machine is a Totally Enclosed machine so
constructed that it will exclude water applied in the form of a stream
from a hose, except that leakage may occur around the shaft
provided it is prevented from entering the oil reservoir and
provision is made for automatically draining the machine. The
means for automatic draining may be a check valve or a tapped
hole at the lowest part of the frame which will serve for application
of a drain pipe.
IP 55
Complete protection against contact with live or moving parts
inside the enclosure. 1
Protection against harmful deposits of dust. The ingress of dust
is not totally prevented, but dust cannot enter in an amount
sufficient to interfere with satisfactory operation of the machine.
Water projected by a nozzle against the machine from any
direction shall have no harmful effect.

1
In the case of machines cooled by means of an external fan, the fan shall be protected so as to prevent contact of the
blades or the spokes of the fan with the standard test finger. However, at the outlet of the fan, the test finger is not inserted
past the 50 mm diameter guard.

 INTRODUCTION

Many extra features, accessories, and manufacturing steps have been incorporated into our high thrust designs to improve overall
performance and greatly extend motor and pump life.

U.S. Ball-O-Matic

The U.S. Ball-O-Matic is clearly the finest ratchet design in the

industry. When used in high thrust HOLLOSHAFT or Solid
Shaft pump motors, it provides immediate protection against
reversing due to phase reversals or from backspin at
shutdown. The centrifugal ball device permits the balls to rise
free of the ratchet on start-up. During shutdown, the balls drop
into the ratchet channels, limiting the maximum reverse
rotation to 4-1/2°.

On motors 449 frame and larger an energy absorbing spring,

In Locked Position combined with this durable ball-type ratchet, eliminates shock
and provides extra protection for both motor and pump. (For
deep well applications)

Insulife System

The INSULIFE System combines non-hygroscopic insulating materials of polyester or

VPI epoxy for long life.

U.S. Motors also offers optional vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI epoxy) insulation
for frames 320 and larger.

Balance

All high thrust vertical motors are precision balanced to less than one-thousandth of an inch
(.001") maximum vibration. After dynamically balancing each individual rotating component,
the assembled motor is refine balanced and checked again with a precision vibration
analyzer.

Interior Protection

The enclosed top end protects interior motor parts when the cover is removed. During
installation or adjustment, tools, nuts, bolts, and other small objects are prevented from
falling into the motor.

EXTRA FEATURES OF VERTICAL HOLLOSHAFT

ASSURE PROTECTION AND CONVENIENCE

These are part of U.S. Motors' basic policy of doing everything possible to ensure "Customer Satisfaction."

Hold-Down Bolt Lock Bolt

UP-THRUST PROTECTION

In some shallow settings, the pump may develop a

momentary upthrust during starting. The VERTICAL
HOLLOSHAFT motor is designed in such a way that its
lower bearing cannot lift. To prevent upward movement
of the pump shaft, it is necessary to install hold-down
bolts only in the coupling. This condition however, does
UPPER ASSEMBLY LOWER ASSEMBLY not provide for motor reversal and a non-reverse ratchet
should be used if this protection is required.

SELF RELEASE COUPLING

If the motor is accidentally reversed, the pump shaft couplings

are apt to unscrew, lift and cause damage. As standard, a self
release coupling (SRC) is provided, which automatically
disengages the pump shaft from the motor under this condi-
tion. This dependable and positive action coupling is posi-
tioned immediately above the top thrust bearing.
