13 DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
The equipment is a three-phase ac squirrel cage induction motor rated at 690 V line to line voltage
(equivalent to a dc link voltage of 930 V) 2300 rpm 759 HP (1328 lbf-ft torque) at 690 V or 746 HP
(1305 lbf-ft torque) at 600V, at 800RPM and 587V, the rating is 1150HP (7550 lbf-ft).
The motors to be used on the following duty cycles:
Duty reference Specification
A 120 seconds on at 800 rpm, 1400 HP, 9200 ft/lb torque, followed by 90 seconds on at
80 rpm, no load. (S9 duty)
B 144 seconds on at 669 rpm, 1150 HP, 9025 ft/lb torque, followed by 116 seconds on at
80 rpm, no load. (S9 duty)
The motors are intended to be used for oil drilling applications and are to be supplied as a standard
motor requiring forced air cooling as specified in the table below and adequate ingress protection such
that the certification is not invalidated.
