Class of insulation

The main component for electric motor is a stator.What is stator?Basically stators are wound with insulated windings made from cooper wire.The insulation  materials for winding of stator such as polyester, poly vinyl formal,polyurethane etc.

The main purpose of insulation is to protect the windings in the slots of the stator lamination and layer between winding coils.The insulation class is durability factor depend on whole of insulation condition.

According from IEEE regulation,The classification of insulation electric motor have a deference rating for maximum temperature that insulation winding can operate.We can see the insulation class at  motor nameplate.Please refer the table below for insulation class rating temperature.

Classification of insulation for electric motor.

 

Electric motor manufacture design the  winding insulation class depend on technical aspect and user application.For good grade of insulation,the cost is higher.So the engineer selects the electric motor based on applications and working area temperature characteristics.

The temperature for electric motor is depend on the fans performance and design.Manufacture normally design the cooling fan according to the duty,type of application and load on the motor.Theoretically the load on motor affected the temperature of motor.

The conclusion is,when we selected the class of insulation for electric motor,several factor must be consider are :

  • Type of load ( pump,turbine,compressor)
  • Working area ambient temperature
  • Application of motor
  • Room condition

  1. When you say type of load you should consider duty too-continuous,intermittent,periodic,fluctuating,% overload etc

    Can anyone tell me about the calculation of the winding wire size and the driven temperature.

  4. First, and foremost, in can lower your utility bills.
    It is because it halts air and moisture infiltration. Studies have shown that without the proper
    insulation, a residence can lose up to 40 percent from the total electricity due
    to air flow infiltration.

    It brings additional power to the construction from the building.

    – Fiberglass continue to permits air flow to pass through,
    conquering the intention of its installing from the beginning

    They may not meet changing building codes in your area, – Because they are made of a combination of old materials.

    – When mist foam insulation stays into position which
    is cellulose, permanent and fiberglass can sag
    with time, decreasing its efficiency.

    Dear Sir,

    We are going to use Class F Induction Motor ( 75KW 100HP) for Pit type Dyno Drive application (VVVF type for load sharing 25kw alternators mounted under neath AC Coaches…is this enough..??? other wise I need to use Class H Indusction motors ..

    Please guide on this me.. Please
