Allowable temperature rises are based upon a reference ambient temperature of 40oC.
Operation temperature is reference temperature + allowable temperature rise + allowance for
"hot spot" winding.
40 oC + 105 oC + 10 oC
= 155 oC
In general a motor should not operate with temperatures above the maximum. Each 10 oC rise
above the rating may reduce the motor lifetime by one half. It is important to be aware that
insulation classes are directly related to motor life.
