Document History
18 November 2021 Major revision to overlay this specification on IOGP S-703 for
motors rated at 1 kV or below, and IEEE 841 on motors rated
above 1 kV.
29 October 2018 Major revision to:
• Address the qualifications requirements for suppliers, which is
becoming less strict, in alignment with the most major
commodities.
• Allow motors in the range of 250HP to 500HP to be either 460V
or 4kV.
• Mandate nonmetallic for the motor internal fans.
8 April 2018 Major revision regarding:
• Local vendor manufacturer qualification.
• Rated voltage level options for 250-500 HP motors.
• Fan material to be made of conductive plastic.
8 March 2016 Minor revision to align rated voltage requirement of 17-SAMSS-
503 with SAES-P-113.
• To align temperature rise requirement of 17-SAMSS-503 with
SAES-P-113.
• To remove the overlap between 17-SAMSS-503 and 17-
SAMSS-502 at the 500 HP size. This will enhance clarity and
align the two SAMSS.
• To align the space heater voltage with the available SAES-P-100
standard voltages.
26 October 2015 Major revision that includes reducing the risks of electric shock
upon Motors Maintenance personal due to energized space
heaters, updating the standard to be in-line with the industry
current IEEE 841-2009 new standard, and aligning with SAES-P-
100 (Basic Power System Design Criteria) voltage levels.
