MOMENT OF INERTIA:

It is the resistance that a body offers to a change on its rotating movement

The moment of inertia shall be referred to the motor shaft:

 RATED
CHARACTERISTICS
MOTOR USEFUL LIFE:

- The motor useful life is based on the insulation

- An increase of 10 degrees in the temperature rise, above the supportable

temperature by the insulation, reduces the useful life by half

MEASURING THE TEMPERATURE RISE:

- Obtained through Temperature Rise Test

R2  R1
T  . ( 235  T1 )  T1  Ta  T2  Ta
R1
where: R2 - Winding resistance at the end of test
R3 - Winding resistance before test
T1 - Winding temperature before test ( practically
the same for the cooling environment )
T2 - Winding temperature at the end of test
Ta - Ambient temperature at the end of test
T - Temperature rise

CHARACTERISTICS

TYPES OF DEVICES FOR THERMAL PROTECTION:

- Thermal Protectors: bimetal type, with normally closed contact, used on single-phase
motors

- Thermostats: bimetal type, with normally closed contact

- Thermistors: Semiconductor material ( silicon ), the resistance varies with the heat
PTC - High resistance for high temperature
NTC - Low resistance for high temperature

- RTD: Calibrated Resistance

SPEED VARIATION MEANS:

- Changing the frequency

- Changing the number of poles
- Changing the slip

- Change in the frequency:

- Use of VFD’s
- Change :
a) 6 to 30 Hz - Loss of cooling
30 to 60 Hz - Standard motors
6 to 60 Hz - Depends on the driven load

b) Above 60 Hz - Field reduction

LOCATIONS

EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE:

An atmosphere is considered explosive when the amount of

gas, steam or dust in the atmosphere is such that a spark
coming from an electric circuit or the heating of an equipment
can cause an explosion
