How Does a Motor Work?

Convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.

1831 - Faraday invented the magneto

1888 - Nikola Tesla invented the induction motor.

1896 - General Electric produced the first commercial induction motor.

GLOSSARY OF FREQUENTLY OCCURRING MOTOR

TERMS

• FLA - Full Load Amps

• The amount of current the motor can be expected to draw under full load (torque)

• Also know as nameplate amps.

• LRA - locked rotor amps

• Also known as starting inrush, this is the amount of current the motor can be expected to draw under starting conditions when full voltage is applied.

Service Factor - Motor load and current rating when loaded to the service factor on the nameplate of the motor. Base is 1.0 but for example, many motors will have a service factor of 1.15, meaning that the motor can handle a 15% overload. The service factor amperage is the amount of current that the motor that the motor will draw under the service factor load condition.

13

Reliability in motion ™

Motor Terms

• RPM is the rotational speed of the motor under full load conditions.

It will always be less than the synchronous speed Ex 1800 rpm 4 pole motor will operate in the 1755 to 1765 rpm range.

Motor Terms Continued

• PHASE

• Phase is the indication of the type of power supply for which the motor is designed Two major categories exist; single phase and three phase.

POLES

• This is the number of magnetic poles that appear within the motor when power is applied.

Poles always come in sets of two (a north and a south). Thus, the number of poles within a motor is always an even number such as 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.

• In an AC motor, the number of poles work in conjunction with the frequency to determine the synchronous speed of the motor.

15

Motor Terms Continued

At 50 and 60 cycles, the common arrangements are:

Poles - Synchronous Speed

• 6 - 1200 1000

• 10 - 720 600

POWER FACTOR

• Per cent power factor is a measure of a particular motor’s requirements for magnetizing amperage.

Frame Designations & Descriptions

• NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturer’s Association)

• National Electrical Manufacturers Association is a trade association. There are 17 member firms in the Motor and

Generator Section.

• NEMA Standards Publication No. MG 1 - 1998 MOTORS AND

GENERATORS is the most widely cited standard for motors in the U.S., it has a 5-year revision cycle.

• NEMA Defines critical dimensions: mounting holes shaft height, and diameter, as well as shaft length.

• NEMA has set up frame designations relative to Horsepower

Rating and Rpm. Example: a 1hp 1800rpm is in a NEMA 143T

Frame and a 100hp 1800rpm motor is in a 404T or TS frame.

17

NEMA frame dimension measurements ensure interchangeability.

Basic Motor Design

A Discussion on Torque

Reliability in motion ™

Torque and HP.

Torque is turning effect. Horsepower is the rate of doing work.

• Torque is described in foot-pounds

• By definition, one horsepower equals 33,000 footpounds per minute

Consider:

Or:

HP = Speed in RPM x 2 P x torque

33,000

HP = torque (lb-ft) X RPM

5250

And:

Torque (lb-ft) = HP x 5250

RPM

This involves torque at a steady speed. Since additional torque is necessary to overcome the inertia of starting, starting torque will be higher than rated load torque

19

1 pound

Torque and Foot-Pounds

1 foot

The force of one pound is needed to turn the wheel at a steady rate. Therefore, the torque is one pound times one foot or one foot-pound.

• ODP – Open Drip Proof – No direct protection for the windings or the bearings.

Air is enters through the lower ports and exhausted through the top vents.

Ventilation openings prevent liquids or solids from entering the motor at any angle less than 15 degrees from the vertical.

• TEFC – Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled – Motor is Totally Enclosed and is cooled with a Fan blowing over the frame of the motor. Internal air is being circulated by internal fins on the rotor that act as a fan. Can be used in dirty, moist, or mildly corrosive operating conditions.

• TENV – Totally Enclosed Non Vented - The motors body is being used as a heat sink to dissipate the heat buildup. Normally seen in small horsepower motors.

• TEAO – Totally Enclosed Air Over – Designed as a TENV but must be mounted within an air stream to properly dissipate heat.

Motor Cooling

Choosing the correct motor for the application is by far the best ways to keep it cool . Heat will destroy a motor

The life of the insulation is reduced in half for each 10 °C increase in temperature.

Insulation life, when operated at its rating, is 20,000 hours, with 90% reliability. “Average life” is 100,000 hours on sinusoidal power.

Heat reduces insulation life even more when the motor is operated on

VFD power supply.

Lubrication life is cut in half for every 15 degrees Celsius rise

41

Reliability in motion ™

Insulation Life

Insulation Design / Temperature Rise

The life of a class of insulation at rated temperature is 40,000 hours (4.55 years)

A class F insulation system with a B rise will have an expected life of 200,000 hrs (22.8 years) when operated at nameplate horsepower and speed

When should you consider buying a new Premium

Motor?

New Premium Motors should be considered in the following cases:

• For all new installations

• Purchasing new equipment packages, Air Compressors, HVAC

Systems, and Pumps

• Major modifications made to facilities or processes

• Instead of rewinding older Motors

• Replace oversized and under loaded Motors

• Part of a Preventive Maintenance or Energy Conservation

Program

52 /

Reliability in motion ™

Should I rewind a failed Motor?

Failed Motor usually can be rewound, it is often worthwhile to replace a damaged motor with anew NEMA Premium Motor to save energy and improve reliability.

• Motor is less than 75Hp.

• Cost to rewound exceeds 65% of the price of a new Motor.

• Motor was rewound before 1980.

• The electric AC Motor is over 100 Years old

• When voltage is applied to the motor it accelerates to full speed as fast as it can both mechanically and electrically

• Throughout time people tried to find ways to slow down the speed of the motor to be able to apply it to a wider range of applications in manufacturing

• The first method was to increase the “poles” of the motor to reduce speed; 2 Pole = 3600 Rpm, 4 Pole = 1800 Rpm,

6 Pole = 1200 Rpm, 8 Pole = 900 Rpm; etc.

Why use Variable Frequency Drives ?

• Vary the speed of AC motor by controlling voltage and frequency.

• Increased process control over conventional valves and dampers.

• Inherent soft start feature reduces mechanical and electrical shock to motor and driven mechanical equipment.

• Decrease or eliminate pump cavitation.

• Decrease maintenance costs.

• Increase mechanical efficiency by eliminating friction from valves and dampers.

• AKA: Save money on the user’s power bill.

• Typical variable torque application can pay for additional cash outlay within 12-18 months.

61

Laws of Affinity

• Centrifugal pump: Load varies as the square of the change in speed.
