Standard motors and ratings
There is no IEC publication covering standard ratings associated with frame sizes, but British Standard BS 5000 : Part 10 does give ratings against frame size and shaft number generally from 56 up to 315 sizes depending upon the type of motor. Although this standard was first published during 1978, and has been amended more recently, it is still current and forms the basis for standard ratings for motors within this range.
The motors covered by the Standard are described as “general purpose induction motors” and meet various parts of British Standard BS 4999 (this generally therefore meets the IEC publications on which BS 4999 is based where appropriate). The motors are suitable for connecting to 3-phase, 415 V, 50 Hz supplies but by agreement may be wound for any voltage not exceeding 660 V. Class E, Class B or Class F insulation may be used with the ambient conditions not exceeding 40°C or 1000 m altitude. BS 5000: Part 10 should be consulted for full details.
The standard ratings are specified for single-speed motors with synchronous speeds of 3000,1500,1000 or 750 r/min. Inmost cases the shaft sizes are the same for all speeds, except for 3000 r/min on some of the larger standard frame sizes.
Table 13.6 gives standard outputs and shaft sizes for totally enclosed fan-ventilated (TEFC) cage motors where the cooling system is defined as IC411 and the degree of protection as IP44. These motors are fitted with either feet or flanges. The standard allows the same ratings for airstream rated motors with feet or flanges without specifying the air velocity.

Table 13.6 Standard outputs and shaft numbers for totally enclosed fan-ventilated (TEFC) cage motors
In the case of airstream rated motors with pad or mountings classified as IC418, the ratings are as given in Table 13.7 with the average air velocity at least the value given by Table 13.8 when measured 50mm radially from mounting pads.

Table 13.9 Standard outputs and shaft numbers for enclosed ventilated cage motors |
It should be noted that the air velocities specified in Table 13.8 are in many cases extremely low for low hub-to-tip ratio axial flow fans which have a high flowrate. In consequence the air velocities flowing over the motor will be considerable greater than those given in the Table. The power produced can therefore be appreciably greater, without exceeding safe temperature rises in the windings or the motor surfaces. Fan motors may therefore take advantage of this situation provided that the nose motor bearing can accommodate both the increased torque requirement and also the radial and thrust loads imposed by the fan impeller.
This has lead the major fan manufacturers, some of whom manufacture their own electric motors, to develop machines specifically appropriate to the application. Such solutions are especially the case in the smaller frame sizes where quantity requirements make such motors economically viable.
