National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)Standard MG 1 provides tech
3、nical information on all types of ac anddc motors.ALTERNATING-CURRENT POWER SUPPLYImportant characteristics of an ac power supply include (1) volt-age, (2) number of phases, (3) frequency, (4) voltage regulation, and(5) continuity of power.According to AHRI Standard 110, the nominal system voltageis
4、 the value assigned to the circuit or system to designate its voltageclass. The voltage at the connection between supplier and user is theservice voltage. Utilization voltage is the voltage at the line termi-nals of the equipment. Utilization voltages are about 5% lower thantheir corresponding nomin
5、al voltages, to allow for distribution sys-tem impedance.Single- and three-phase motor and control voltage ratings shownin Table 1 are adapted to the nominal voltages indicated. Motorswith these ratings are considered suitable for ordinary use on theircorresponding systems; for example, a 230 V moto
6、r should gener-ally be used on a nominal 240 V system. A 230 V motor should notbe installed on a nominal 208 V system because the utilization volt-age is below the tolerance on the voltage rating for which the motoris designed. Such operation generally results in overheating and aserious reduction i
7、n torque. Single- and three-phase 200 V motorsare designed for nominal 208 V systems. Three-phase models up toat least 100 hp are available in NEMA Premiumefficiencies.Motors are usually guaranteed to operate satisfactorily and todeliver their full power at the rated frequency and at a voltage 10%ab
8、ove or below their rating, or at the rated voltage and plus or minus5% frequency variation. Some U.S. single-phase HVAC com-ponents that are dual-voltage rated (e.g., 208/230-1-60) may carry a5% voltage allowance (at rated frequency) from the lower voltagerating of 208 volts. Table 2 shows the effec
9、t of voltage and fre-quency variation on induction motor characteristics.Phase voltages of three-phase motors should be balanced. If not,a small voltage imbalance can cause a large current imbalance.This leads to high motor operating temperatures that can result innuisance overload trips or motor fa
10、ilures and burnouts. Motorsshould not be operated where the voltage imbalance is greater than1%. If an imbalance does exist, contact the motor manufacturer forrecommendations. Voltage imbalance is defined in NEMA Stan-dard MG 1 as% Voltage imbalance = 100 The preparation of this chapter is assigned

16、nce. Again, this current imbal-ance is not desirable. If current imbalance exceeds either 10% or themaximum imbalance recommended by the manufacturer, correctiveaction should be taken (see NFPA Standard 70).% Current imbalance = 100 Another cause of current imbalance is normal winding imped-ance imb

The NEC contains minimumrecommendatio
18、ns considered necessary to ensure safety of electri-cal installations and equipment. It is referred to in the OccupationalSafety and Health Administration (OSHA 2007) electrical stan-dards and, therefore, is part of OSHA requirements. In addition,practically all communities in the United States have
19、 adopted theNEC as a minimum electrical code.Underwriters Laboratories (UL) promulgates standards for vari-ous types of equipment. UL standards for electrical equipmentcover construction and performance for the safety of such equip-ment and interpret requirements to ensure compliance with theintent
20、of the NEC. A complete list of available standards may beobtained from UL, which also publishes lists of equipment thatcomply with their standards. Listed products bear the UL label andare recognized by local authorities.The Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, is a standard of the Cana-dian Standards
21、Association (CSA). It is a voluntary code with min-imum requirements for electrical installations in buildings of everykind. The Canadian Electrical Code, Part II, contains specificationsfor construction and performance of electrical equipment, in com-pliance with Part I. UL and CSA standards for el
22、ectrical equipmentare similar, so equipment designed to meet the requirements of onecode may also meet the requirements of the other. However, agree-ment between the codes is not complete, so individual standardsmust be checked when designing equipment for use in both coun-tries. The CSA examines an
23、d tests material and equipment for com-pliance with the Canadian Electrical Code. MOTOR EFFICIENCYSome of the many factors that affect motor efficiency include(1) sizing the motor to the load, (2) type of motor specified,(3) motor design speed, (4) number of rewinds, (5) voltage imbal-ance, (6) curr
24、ent imbalance, and (7) type of bearing specified. Over-sizing a motor may reduce efficiency. As shown in the performancecharacteristic curves for single-phase motors in Figures 1, 2, and 3,efficiency usually falls off rapidly at loads lower than the rated fullload. Three-phase motors usually reach p
25、eak efficiency around 75%load, and the efficiency curve is usually fairly flat from 50 to 100%(Figure 4). Motor performance curves (available from the motormanufacturer) can help in specifying the optimum motor for an ap-plication. The U.S. Department of Energys (DOE) MotorMaster+software gives part

Four-pole induction motorstend to have the highest range of efficiencies It is important to understand motor types before specifying one.For example, a permanent split-capacitor motor is more efficientthan a sha
34、ded-pole fan motor. A capacitor-start/capacitor-runmotor is more efficient than either a capacitor-start or a split-phasemotor. Three-phase motors are much more likely to have publishedefficiency: NEMA and the DOE promulgate efficiency standardsfor three-phase motors between 1 and 500 hp.Motor manuf
35、acturers offer motors over a range of efficiencies.NEMA Standard MG 1 describes two efficiency categories: energy-efficient and premium. These standards pertain to most three-phaseinduction motors between 1 and 500 hp. Note that “energy-efficient”no longer represents a remarkable level of efficiency
36、; it was madea mandatory minimum for general-purpose induction motors from1 to 200 hp in the United States by the Energy Policy Act of 1992.Today, it has been significantly exceeded by the NEMA premiumstandard.Higher-efficiency motors are available in standard frame sizesand performance ratings. Pre
37、mium-rated motors are more costlythan less efficient counterparts, but the additional costs are usuallyrecovered by energy savings very early in the motors service life;most manufacturers also cite extra reliability features added intopremium-rated motors. NEMA Standards MG 10 and MG 11 havemore inf
38、ormation on motor efficiency for single-phase and three-phase motors, respectively.GENERAL-PURPOSE INDUCTION MOTORSThe electrical industry classifies motors as small kilowatt (frac-tional horsepower) or integral kilowatt (integral horsepower).Fig. 1 Typical Performance Characteristics of Capacitor-S

40、pment In this context, kilowatt refers to power output of the motor. Small-kilowatt motors have ratings of less than 1 hp at 1700 to 1800 rpmfor four-pole and 3500 to 3600 rpm for two-pole machines. Single-phase motors are readily available through 5 hp and are most com-mon through 0.75 hp, because
41、motors larger than 0.75 hp are usuallythree phase.Table 3 lists motors by types indicating the normal power rangeand type of power supply. All motors listed are suitable for eitherdirect or belt drive, except shaded-pole motors (limited by low start-ing torque).ApplicationWhen applying an electric m
42、otor, the following characteristics areimportant: (1) mechanical arrangement, including position of themotor and shaft, type of bearing, portability desired, drive connec-tion, mounting, and space limitations; (2) speed range desired; (3)power requirement; (4) torque; (5) inertia; (6) frequency of s
43、tarting;and (7) ventilation requirements. Motor characteristics that are fre-quently applied are generally presented in curves (see Figures 1 to 4).Torque. The torque required to operate the driven machine at alltimes between initial breakaway and final shutdown is important indetermining the type o
44、f motor. The torque available at zero speed orstandstill (starting torque) may be less than 100% or as high as400% of full-load torque, depending on motor design. The startingcurrent, or locked-rotor current, is usually 400 to 600% of thecurrent at rated full load.Full-load torque is the torque deve
45、loped to produce the ratedpower at the rated speed. Full-load speed also depends on themotors design. For induction motors, a speed of 1750 rpm is typicalfor four-pole motors, and a speed of 3450 rpm is typical for two-pole motors at 60 Hz.Motors have a maximum or breakdown torque, which cannotbe ex
46、ceeded. The relation between breakdown torque and full-loadtorque varies widely, depending on motor design.Power. The power delivered by a motor is a product of its torqueand speed. Because a given motor delivers increasing power up tomaximum torque, a basis for power rating is needed. NEMA basespow
47、er rating on breakdown torque limits for single-phase motors,10 hp and less. All others are rated at their power capacity withinvoltage and temperature limits as listed by NEMA.Full-load rating is based on the maximum winding temperature.If the nameplate marking includes the maximum ambient tempera-
48、ture for which the motor is designed and the insulation designation,the maximum temperature rise of the winding may be determinedfrom the appropriate section of NEMA Standard MG 1.Service Factor. This factor is the maximum overload that can beapplied to general-purpose motors and certain definite-pu
49、rpose mo-tors without exceeding the temperature limitation of the insulation.When the voltage and frequency are maintained at the values speci-fied on the nameplate and the ambient temperature does not exceed104F, the motor may be loaded to the power obtained by multiply-ing the rated power by the service factor shown on the nameplate.Operating a motor c
