INTRODUCTION
1.1

Purpose
This specification covers the Particular Requirements for the design,
manufacture, testing and shipment of Squirrel Cage Induction Motors as detailed
in IEEE Std 841 2001 (Standard for Petroleum and Chemical Industry Severe
Duty Totally Enclosed FanCooled (TEFC) Squirrel Cage Induction Motors up
to and including 370 kW (500 hp)), for use in oil refineries, gas plants, chemical
plants, exploration and production facilities, and supply/marketing installations
owned by PDVSA.
This specification along with IEEE Std 8412001, and the requirements of PIP
ELSMT01D Data Sheet shall be considered complementary. Any conflict among
them shall be referred to the Owner for clarification before proceeding with design
and manufacture.
The following clauses are amendments, supplements or additions to IEEE Std
841 2001. Clauses that are not mentioned herein shall remain applicable as
written. When the word should appears in the IEEE Std 841 2001, it must be
substituted by shall and, therefore, considered mandatory.
The additional requirements or clarifications specified herein are required in order
to:
a.

Make selections from the options given in the IEEE Std 841 2001.

b.

Specify additional and more stringent requirements, as necessary, to

operate and maintain motors according to PDVSA practices.
The following paragraph numbers refer to those used in IEEE Std 841 2001 or
added in this specification.

1.3

Responsibilities (New)
When the motor is supplied as part of equipment packages (e.g. compressor, fan
and pump sets), driven equipment Manufacturer shall be responsible for the
operation of motordriven equipment combination according to this specification.
Therefore, he is responsible for obtaining the Motor Data and submit it to the
Owner.
When motor is ordered to replace an existing motor, Manufacturer shall be
responsible for supplying the motor that best matches the driven equipment data
supplied by Owner.

REFERENCES (ADDITION)
For any details not mentioned in the referenced standard, the Manufacturer shall
submit his proposed standards for Owners approval. If required, the
Manufacturer shall provide a copy of them.

Written approval must be obtained for the construction of motors using other
standards (IEC, DIN, etc.).

SERVICE CONDITIONS
3.2

Unusual Service Conditions (Addition)

g.

Starting method other than acrosstheline starting.

h.

Automatic reacceleration with full opposite residual voltage, under full load
conditions, and at any voltage between 80% and 100% of the rated voltage
applied at the motor terminals.

ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE

Insulation System and Temperature Rise

5.4.1

Insulation System (Addition)

i.

5.4.2

The stator winding material shall be copper.

Temperature Rise (Addition)
If specified in PIP ELSMT01D, winding temperature detectors (RTDs) shall be
provided for motors above 200 hp. These devices shall be, threewire platinum
type with a resistance of 100 ohms at 0 _C. These elements shall have
tetrafluoroethyleneinsulated, stranded, tinned copper wire leads at least 22
AWG in size with a calibration ratio of 1.3926. The leads shall meet the
requirements of NFPA 70 and they should be wired to an independent terminal
box.

MECHANICAL FEATURES
6.1

Bearings and Lubrication

b.

Addition
Grease packed bearings shall only be provided if the dN factor is less than 50000
(the dN factor is the product of bearing size (bore) in millimeters and the rated
speed in revolutions per minute). If the grease relubrication interval is smaller
than 1000 hours, bearings shall be oil lubricated.

d.

Exception
Bearings shall be selected to provide an L10 life of 40000 hrs minimum per
ANSI/ABMA 91990 or ANSI/ABMA 111999, at rated radial and axial loads and
rated speeds.

Sheave size and belted applications for motors above 200 hp and belted
applications for twopole motors above 25 hp shall be approved by Owner.
Motors above 200 hp shall use hydrodynamic (sleeve) bearings if L10 life rating
is shorter than 40000 hours.
i.

Addition
Bearings for motors above 200 hp shall be electrically insulated. A removable
shorting device shall be provided in the bearing housing on the drive end. For
doubleend motors, the bearing and coupling on one end shall be electrically
insulated. Motors below 250 hp with a shaft voltage higher than 250 mV (peak),
when tested per IEEE Std 112, require grounding the shaft and/or insulating a
bearing.

j.

Addition
Oil lubricated bearings shall use standard hydrocarbon oils. Synthetic oils are not
acceptable.

k.

Addition
Antifriction bearings shall be retained on the shaft and fitted into housings in
accordance with the requirements of ABMA Standard 7. The device used to lock
ball thrust bearings to shafts shall be restricted to a nut with a tonguetype lock
washer.

l.

Addition
If specified in PIP ELSMT01D, bearing temperature sensing devices shall be
supplied.

m.

Addition
For oil lubricated bearings, oil sump temperature shall not exceed 82 _C (180 _F)
based on the specified operating condition and an ambient temperature of 40 _C
(104 _F). The housing shall be provided with tapped and plugged fill openings at
least 1/2 inch National Pipe Thread (NPT) size. Housings shall be equipped with
constant level sightfeed oilers at least 8 ounces (0.25 liter) in size, with a positive
level positioner (not a set screw), transparent containers (not subject to
sunlightor heat induced opacity or deterioration) and protective wire cages. A
permanent indication of the proper oil level shall be accurately located and clearly
marked on the outside of the bearing housing with permanent metal tags, marks
inscribed in the castings, or another durable means. If the oil level indicator
breaks accidentally, the resulting drop in oil level shall not result in loss of bearing
lubrication, that is, reduction of the oil level below the level required for normal
operation.
