Motor Protection

Operating conditions

There are many possible causes of electric motor failure. One of the most common, and which is often accidental, is the
utilization of motors beyond the operating limits defined by the manufacturer or in abnormal ambient conditions.

A statistical survey covering 9000 incidents of motor failure, gave the following results :

Overloads (1) 30 %

Operating conditions (example: corrosive atmosphere) 19 %

Phase failure 14 %

Bearing failure 13 %

Aging (example: ambient temperature too high) (1) 10 %

Rotor faults 5%

Miscellaneous 9%

These faults are related to motors with a power rating of 37 kW (50 hp) or more.

(1) An examination of the above results shows that, in more than 40 % of cases, the fault is due to the effects of heating.

Leaving aside the replacement of wearing parts, such as bearings, slip rings, brushes, etc., the life of an electric motor
is linked to that of its insulation. Provided that the temperature rise limit is not exceeded, the life expectancy of insulating
materials is extremely long. It is decreased by approximately one half for an excess temperature rise of 10 °C (18 °F).

The operating temperature limit TL of an insulating material depends on the type of material and is the sum of the ambient
air temperature AT (cooling air), the temperature rise limit TRL and an additional temperature rise value ATR considered
necessary because the measurement of winding resistance variation does not determine the temperature of the hottest
part of the motor winding, but only gives an average value for temperature rise.

The diagram below defines the standardized limits for different classes of insulation. In all cases, the normal ambient
cooling air temperature is fixed at 40 °C (104 °F).

Motor Protection

The rated power of a motor corresponds to its temperature rise limit for an ambient temperature of 40 °C (104 °F). The
temperature rise limits for the different parts of a machine are given in the following table, which is an extract from IEC
publication 34-1.

Temperature rise limit

Insulation class
B F H

Insulated winding (measurement by resistance) °C/°F 80/176 100/212 125/257

Commutators and slip-rings °C/°F 80/176 90/194 (1) 100/212 (1)

Bearings °C/°F 60/140 60/140 (2) 60/140 (2)

When a motor is used at an ambient air temperature other than the normal value, its temperature rise limit should be
modified in order to maintain the same maximum temperature limit. The result is that the motor operational power is no
longer the same as its rated power.
Also, the altitude of the installation, if this is above 1000 m (3281 ft), affects the cooling and increases the temperature
rise.
The following table gives the ratio between operational power and rated power, according to the operating conditions, for
a given ambient temperature. It corresponds to insulation class B.

Operational power / Rated power in watts

4000 13,124 0.83 0.81 0.78 0.75 0.72 0.68 0.64

The values shown in the above table are for guidance only. In effect, the derating of a motor depends on its size, insulation
class, method of construction (self-ventilated or forced ventilation, enclosure type), and varies according to the
manufacturer.

Also, in addition to the normal ambient conditions, the rated power of a motor is defined by the manufacturer for continuous
duty S1. This covers continuous operation of sufficient duration to enable the motor to reach a steady temperature. It is
this value of rated power that is normally shown on the motor plate.

There are other standardized types of duty, such as temporary duty S2, or intermittent periodic duty type S3, S4 and S5,
for which the motor manufacturer defines an operational power appropriate to each and different from the rated power.

(1) For temperature rise limits of 90 °C (194 °F) and 100 °C (212 °F) the brushes must be selected with the agreement
of the motor manufacturer.
(2) These limit values may be exceeded depending on the quality of the grease used and the applied loads.
