1. SCOPE AND INTENT
This Specification covers the minimum requirements for motors used to drive pumps,
compressors and other mechanical equipment in the oil production facility and electric
power plant services. Taken alone, this specification covers induction motors. The intent
is to permit the use of Seller-standard equipment to the fullest degree consistent with the
Buyers minimum requirement for such services.
This specification applies to:
low voltage (LV) motors, i.e., those with rated voltage below 1000 V.
medium voltage (MV) motors i.e., those with rated voltage 1000 V or higher.
Compliance with this Specification shall not relieve the Seller of responsibility for
furnishing equipment of proper design, construction and scope of supply, fully suitable for
all specified operating conditions.
All exceptions, comments and clarifications to this Specification and to the IEC and
Venezuelan national standards referenced herein shall be addressed in the proposal, by
specific reference to the applicable IEC or Venezuelan standard paragraph or Job
Specification article.
The remainder of this specification is divided into three parts as follows:
Part 1 - General Requirements (Sections 2 - 10).
Part 2 - Additional Requirements for Motors Protected Against the Hazard of Explosion
or Fire (Sections 11 - 18).
Part 3 - Additional Requirements for Motors over 4,000kW or Specified as "Special-

Purpose" in the Material Requisition (Sections 19 - 22).
2. PART 1 - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
2.1 General
Part 1 of the specification includes general requirements and statements common to

general purpose motors as well as to motors protected against the hazard of explosion or
6 - 56
SINCOR
fire. The specific requirements and statements relevant to the latter category of motors,
including definitions, are covered in Part 2 of the specification.
This specification requires compliance with Venezuelan codes, standards and regulations
which may be applicable, using the hierarchy of article I.E above (i.e., with IEC being
subordinate wherever conflicts exist). This includes the Venezuelan Safety and Health
Law for Work Environment of July 1986 and the , Industrial Safety and Health Programs,
Covenin 2260-8" of 1988.
Motors, electrical components and electrical systems shall also be in compliance with
Covenin 200, which is the National Electric Code of Venezuela. This Code is largely the
same as the standard 70 of the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) at the time of
this writing, recognizing both hazardous area classifications Division-based and Zone-
based.
The electrical motor shall be manufactured, tested and approved by the standard
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
The equipment shall be complete within the scope of supply boundaries specified,
including all components, systems and features required for the specified service(s) and
for the characteristics of the Sellers design, whether or not such items are individually
cited in the technical specification or Purchase order and whether or not the terms
standard or Sellers standard are used.
The Sellers experience for the equipment shall include at least two (2) examples of each
of the types/models proposed, equal-to or greater than the proposed equipment as
regards the principal operational parameters (e.g. power rating, voltage) and
manufactured at the same factory as applies to the equipment proposed. Both of such
units shall have accumulated a minimum of two years of successful field operation. No
new design or unproven (per the above criteria) equipment components shall be provided,
except as a proposal-stated exception to the specification with subsequent acceptance of
such exception by the Buyer in the Purchase Order. Alternative designs may be quoted to
utilize Seller-standard equipment and assist in meeting this experience requirement,
subject to the same exception and approval process.
The motor Seller shall be identified in the proposal for all motors supplied as part of
equipment packages (e.g. compressor, fan and pump sets) and shall be subject to
approval by the Buyer. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that the diversity of
motors at the job site is kept within manageable limits.
The service life of the motor and its auxiliary equipment for the service conditions specified
shall be not less than 20 years, excepting the anti-friction bearing L-10 life criteria
specified herein, and for a minimum of three years of continuous operation.
7 - 56
SINCOR
If specified in the Material Requisition (MR), Data Sheet (DS) or as set forth below, and if
the motor and its driven equipment are not already being provided by a single party as an
equipment package, the motor Seller shall contact directly the Seller of the driven
equipment (with a copy of all correspondence being sent to the Buyer) to exchange
information required for the matching of equipment package components.
Such coordination shall be mandatory in the following cases:
1. Motors with sleeve bearings, to prevent problems concerning end float, thrust
bearings, coupling, selection and the like.
2. Motors with forced lubrication common with the driven equipment.
3. Motors driving reciprocating machines.
4. Motors driving fans and other machines with high inertia.
5. Motors driving reaccelerated machines.
6. Motors specified as being "special purpose."
7. Motors specified to be used in conjunction with adjustable speed drives.

Coordination with the supplier of the adjustable speed drive is also mandatory in
this case.
All components classifiable as pressure vessels under Section VIII of the ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code shall bear an ASME stamp certifying compliance with this code or a
stamp certifying compliance with a Buyer-approved foreign code.
If specified the case Electrical Motor is managed by Variable speed Motor, the Motor
selection shall be made by the Seller having unit responsibility for the entire system
(driven equipment-motor-converter) delivery, in close coordination with their
manufacturers, unless otherwise specified in the DS.
Seller having unit responsibility shall contact directly the manufacturers of the driven
equipment and motor (with a copy of all correspondence being sent to the Buyer) to
exchange information required for the matching of equipment package components.

performed based upon the cost of power losses specified in the DS. The Seller shall
determine the optimum LCC design.
For variable speed applications, the Seller with unit responsibility shall strive for optimum
overall efficiency of the converter, motor, and driven equipment. The losses of all
equipment that is required to operate the string at its nominal rating must be included in
the efficiency calculation and applicable tolerances shall be clearly stated.
11 - 56
SINCOR
If the measured losses are higher than the guaranteed values the Buyer is entitled to
reduce the contract price by the present value of the losses in excess. The Buyer
reserves the right to reject the equipment if the guaranteed values are not achieved during
final tests or in the field thereafter
3.2 Duty Type

NOTES:
(1) Minimum 15 minutes of running is required between consecutive starts.
(2) Limited to 8 starts per day.
(3) Motor initially at ambient temperature.
Unless otherwise specified, motors shall be capable of performing the above-stated

number of starts with a coupled load having brake torque and inertia as follows:
Load torque is a quadratic function of the speed,
inertia of the driven equipment as identified by the Seller having unit responsibility, for
motors supplied as part of rotating equipment packages. For non-packaged equipment
this figure will be specified; or, if no figure is given, the Seller shall assume driven
equipment inertias of 2, 4, 6 and 8 times the inertia of the motor-rotor for motors having 2,
4, 6 and 8 poles respectively.
The requirements for starting duty at full voltage are not applicable to inverter fed motors
used in variable speed applications where the starting is gradual (soft start). These
motors shall be capable of starting gradually with a coupled load having brake torque and
inertia as indicated by the driven equipment manufacturer.
3.5 Torque and Current Requirement
Unless otherwise specified in the Material Requisition the predicted motor torque shall be
capable of accelerating during start-up as well as (where applicable) re-accelerating (i.e.,
after a momentary power interruption) the driven equipment with a minimum of 20%
margin, including inertia and load torque as per section 3.4 above and with the voltage at
14 - 56
SINCOR
the motors terminals being 80% of the rated voltage (without voltage recovery as speed
increases).
The Seller shall consider in its design the actual torque decrease due to saturation as a
function of voltage applied to motor terminals.
Limits and tolerances on rated motor data.
The following limits shall be in force:

Min breakdown torque(% of rated torque) 200 200
Values declared by the Seller for breakaway, pull-in and pullout torques, breakaway
starting current, slip and inertia shall be considered as rating figures. These values shall
be kept within the tolerance limits stated by IEC 60034-1.
The motor Seller shall be responsible for checking the starting time for critical situations,
such as starting at reduced voltage of driven equipment with high inertia and/or high brake
torque, and informing the Buyer regarding the calculated starting times (refer to section
3.8 above).
Motors shall remain in conformance with this specification regarding starting, operation
and in all other respects for any driven equipment future upgrade capacity specified (e.g.
as per paragraph 2.1.4 of API Standard 610) when the motor is supplied as part of a
rotating equipment package by a Seller having unit responsibility. Motors shall also, in
any case, have a nameplate rating (i.e., without using part of any service factor) at the
higher of the figure stated in the driven equipment specification and 110% of the driven
equipments brake power (including gear losses as applicable) pertaining to the rated
operating condition.
15 - 56
SINCOR
3.6 Insulation
The insulation shall be in accordance with IEC Recommendations and Standards, and
shall be suitable for the maximum local-ambient conditions of Data Sheets. Insulation
shall be Class F, with temperature rise at the rated conditions within the Class B limit (See
also section 3.2 and 3.3 above).
Medium voltage motors will be connected by the Buyer to low -resistance-grounded

systems and provided with effectively instantaneous ground fault protection. Low voltage
motors will be solidly grounded by the Buyer.
Motors with encapsulated windings shall be provided with temperature sensing devices
embedded in the windings.
Motors which are specified for automatic re-acceleration after a momentary power
interruption shall be capable of withstanding without any damage the reenergization at
rated voltage with a residual voltage at motor terminals not less than 40% of the rated
figure and in phase opposition, unless specified otherwise in the Material Requisition.
Insulation shall be specially prepared for a tropical environment, including double

impregnation of windings, using non-hygroscopic materials and being fully moisture-
sealed.
In the case the Variable Speed Motors will be connected to the output of the inverter and
provided with an integral protection system from the inverter.
Insulation class and maximum dv/dt withstand for inverter fed motors shall be selected
according to the inverter output characteristics.
3.7 Cooling
The cooling method shall be identified and constructed as per IEC 60034-6.
The ventilation openings of totally enclosed machines with external fans shall have a
mechanical protection degree not less than IP 20 on air inlet and IP 10 on air outlet
openings. The systems degree of protection shall be in accordance with section 5.2
below, and shall be contributed by the fan/duct system (i.e. may not be in the motor
Sellers scope of supply).
Solid foreign bodies shall in any case, however, be prevented from falling vertically
through the motors ventilating openings.
16 - 56
SINCOR
For motors with independent, separate coolers the Seller shall specify the required
cooling-air flow, its pressure loss between the motors, inlet and outlet flanges and its
temperature rise referred to the specified inlet temperature.
The Seller shall also indicate in the proposal the following:
Maximum allowable time during which the motor can furnish the rated output with 50% of
the total cooling capacity in service and without any forced air flow.
Maximum continuous output the motor can furnish with 50% of the total cooling capacity in
service and without any forced air flow.
Motors rated above 1000 kW and having air-water heat exchangers shall have a two-
section exchanger, with each section sized to support continuous operation at 70% of the
rated output.
The Seller shall indicate in the proposal the following:
- The required water flow rate, its pressure drop inside the exchanger(s), maximum
allowed inlet temperature and temperature rise, with both sections in service and,
separately, with only one in service.
- The maximum allowable operating time at rated output and, separately, the
maximum continuous output, with one section of exchanger out of service.
For variable speed applications, inverter fed motors shall be capable of operating over the
entire speed range without exceeding the temperature limits specified.
3.8 Vibration
The vibration level shall not exceed the limits specified in IEC 60034-14. Grade N shall
apply, unless specified differently in the Material Requisition, for motors not subject to Part
3 of this specification. See section 20.0 for vibration limits when Part 3 of this specification
is applicable.
Motors shall be statically and dynamically balanced by means secure against loosening
for the service life specified. The use of solder or similar deposits for balancing is not
acceptable.
Motors shall have provisions at each bearing for attaching seismic-type vibration pickups
for the Buyers periodic checks onsite.
17 - 56
SINCOR
3.9 Noise
In order to comply with Venezuelan requirements concerning exposure of plant personnel

to noise, individual noise sources shall be limited, where possible, to the following sound
pressure levels:
85 dBA at 1 meter from the source of the noise, unless approved by Buyer. The Seller
shall achieve this condition as a contractual requirement for the equipment in its basic
state (i.e. with no special sound treatment provisions). If meeting this criteria will result in
excessive costs, then the Seller is requested to do both of the following:
- State in the proposal an exception to the specification in this respect.
- Quote an option for the achieving of this condition, based on descending cost
associated with noise levels identified in Item b, below.
It should be noted that 8 hr. time weighed average exposure to sound pressure levels in
excess of 85 dBA may require audiometric testing or personnel use of individual hearing
protective devices. Therefore, in-plant noise shall be limited to 85 dBA, unless approved
by the Buyer. [Note that noise levels of up to 88 and 91 dBA are considered acceptable
where exposure levels are less than 4 and 2 hours, respectively per Covenin 1565:1995].
The equipment will thereafter be acceptable only with the Buyers approval in its basic
state or (as decided by the Buyer) with purchase of the noise abatement option quoted.
All noise abatement measures involving lagging or enclosures shall be in conformance
with the Specification CA04-00-00-G-SP-013.
The maximum free-field noise level shall also in no case exceed 120 dB(A) for the
measurement locations cited above, for noise from infrequently encountered and
emergency events such as the opening of relief, vent and blowoff valves. Noise
abatement measures shall, in all cases, be included in the base bid if and when needed to
comply with this criterion.
The Seller shall be responsible for designing and implementing any modifications required
to reduce the noise to a level authorized by local regulations at the place of use if the
above-described 85 dB(A) basic-state commitment is made in the proposal but not
achieved onsite, or if the quoted option is purchased but fails to produce the required
effect, or if the aforementioned 120 dB(A) requirement is not achieved onsite.
The noise level shall be determined by using the A-weighting curve (IEC 60034 - 9), and
sound levels shall be expressed in dB(A).
18 - 56
SINCOR
Any noise testing at the factory (by the Seller) or onsite (by the Buyer) for determining if

limitations as described below as well as all other considerations applicable.
Adjustable speed control will allow the motor to be operated over a wide range of speed.
Both low speed motor with step-up gear and high-speed motor directly coupled (without
gear-box) designs are acceptable, unless otherwise specified in the DS.
The converter-motor manufacturer(s) shall select the optimum motor design to match this
optimum input speed range. The synchronous speed may be different from the traditional
60 Hz, fixed speed applications (1200, 1800, 3600 rpm).
The motor manufacturer shall be responsible for obtaining from the driven equipment and
converter manufacturers all coordination information needed, such as the planned speed
range and harmonics content. The Seller with unit responsibility shall coordinate all
parties involved. There are several issues that the Seller shall address for reliable
operation:
Variable speed motors shall be designed to perform with harmonics generated from the
converters. It will be Sellers responsibility to coordinate with the suppliers of the
adjustable speed drive system components to obtain all necessary harmonics data and
make sure that the motor is designed for the specified operation.
Inverter fed motors shall be specifically built or selected for this purpose, including any
extra cooling air flow needed for heat generated by harmonics and for the effect of
operating at low speeds, as well as having any insulation upgrades needed by waveform
distortion. The specified Class B temperature rise shall be maintained and, when a
hazardous atmosphere is specified in the DS, the surface temperature shall also be
maintained within the required limits.
Any speed intervals within the allowed speed range for which derating or limited dwell time
is required shall be identified in the proposal as an exception to the specification; and, if
the exception is subsequently approved by the Buyer, the motor Seller shall communicate
to the PDS supplier (with a copy of correspondence to the Buyer) the "skip frequency"
programming for automatic avoidance of such speeds. Under no circumstances, however,
shall the need for such programming prevent the driven equipment from satisfying any of
the specific operating conditions stated in the DS.
The rotating equipment strings torsional resonant frequencies shall be identified by the
Seller having unit responsibility, and they shall be stated in the proposal as preliminary
information and after order as final. This information shall also (again with a copy to the
Buyer) be communicated by the motor Seller to the PDS supplier so that harmonics of the
PDSs fundamental frequency are tuned to avoid exciting such resonances, with a
40 - 56
SINCOR
minimum separation margin of 10 percent (potentially via applying the aforementioned

skip-frequency approach).
The equipment strings lateral and torsional critical speeds shall be identified by the Seller
having unit responsibility and stated in the proposal as preliminary information and after
order as final. The allowed speed range(s) shall be communicated by the motor Seller to
the PDS supplier (with a copy of correspondence to the Buyer) and shall provide a
minimum separation margin of 10 percent in all cases (potentially via applying the
Any remaining requirement for use of a torsionally resilient coupling shall be fulfilled by the
Seller having unit responsibility.
The process sensor(s) and setpoint input will in all cases be Buyer-supplied, and the same
is true of the process controller, unless specified otherwise in the DS.
When specified in the DS, the motor and the power converter shall be tested together and
under load to assure a properly coordinated system according to type of load, speed range
and other requirements specified in the DS for adjustable speed applications.
Certification for Use in Hazardous Areas: Seller shall provide a written certification of
compliance with the ATEX Directive regarding the adequacy of the PDS for the installation
of the motor in a zone 2 hazardous area.

rotordynamic requirements of this specification, be conducted with the oil supply
temperature at least equal to that pertaining to normal operation with the maximum cooling
water supply temperature specified, but not lower than the set point of the oil systems
supply temperature control valve.
Motors shall be equipped with one local temperature indicator per bearing. Such
indicators shall be of the dial type, mounted on the motor enclosure or in the drain oil
piping.
All horizontal motors shall have two proximity-type vibration pickups per-bearing. The
shaft surfaces, pickups and signal conditioning equipment shall be Seller-provided.
Monitoring shall be provided by the party having unit responsibility. Runout shall be
recorded at least every 150. This information shall be reported to the Buyer, and this
operation shall also be available for observation by the Buyer.
All vertical motors shall have one 3-axis, API 678-conforming accelerometer-type
vibration detector at the top of the bearing housing, with the monitoring and protection
system supply again resting with the party having unit responsibility.

among the Seller-provided special tools.
22. ROTOR DYNAMIC BALANCING, VIBRATION AND TESTING
The motor rotor shall be dynamically balanced before motor assembly, in a balancing
machine, preferably with all shaft or rotor mounted fans installed.
If the fans are not installed during rotor balancing they shall be dynamically balanced
separately in a balancing machine.
The Seller shall supply a balanced idling adapter, if testing with the contract coupling and
driven equipment in place is not performed by the party having unit responsibility, unless
the coupling hub is mounted for test and it meets the 10% criterion cited below. The
factory vibration test shall, for all non-string-test cases, be performed with the hub/idling
adapter in place, which shall apply a moment equal to (within 10 percent) the moment of
the contract coupling hub plus one-half that of the coupling spacer. When all testing is
completed the idling adapter, if any, shall be furnished to the Buyer as part of the special
tools.
Vibration limits for factory and onsite acceptance testing shall be the Grade R criteria of
IEC 60034-14.
When specified in the Material Requisition, two additional stator coils for special surge
tests of the main and turn insulation shall be manufactured at the same time as the
complete stator winding. These coils shall be completely cured and tested as follows:
The test of the main insulation shall consist of three successive applications of a 1.2/50-
microsecond impulse voltage with a crest value of 5 PU. The impulse voltage shall be
applied to both terminals of the coil conductor while the conducting surfaces of the
simulated slot portions of the coil are connected to earth.
The test of the turn insulation shall consist of not less than three voltage impulses within 1
minute, applied between the coil terminations.
An immersion test of the motor itself shall not be performed.
Control panels and protective/monitoring systems shall be tested with the motor.
