TODAY’S PROCESS INDUSTRY ENGINEER must specify a motor with the plethora of industry standards from various standards development organizations around the globe in mind. This presentation provides a basic overview of the issues that are essential in the decision process when purchasing a new motor and is directed toward the engineer who must specify motors but is not familiar with all potential requirements. The presentation reviews two base motor standards and supporting standards for specific tests and design practices – like insulation and vibration. It provides guidance on justifying the options selected and purchase recommendations. It reviews Specialty Standards that cover requirements, such as repair and application in classified hazardous areas, and presents several case histories that demonstrate problems experienced when a motor is not properly specified.
