Notes
1 (2007) The limit of temperature rise in the above Table is based on an ambient temperature of 50°C in accordance
with IEC Publication 60092-101. For rotating machines based on a 45°C ambient, the temperature rises may be
increased by 5°C. See 4-8-3/3.5.
2 With application of the superposition test method to windings of machines rated 200 kW (or kVA) or less with
insulation classes A, E, B or F, the limits of temperature rise given for the resistance method may be increased by
5°C.
3 Also includes multiple layer windings provided that the under layers are each in contact with the circulating coolant.
