All connections are for counterclockwise rotation facing the end

Some manufacturers connect the interpole winding on the A2 side
of the armature.
When the shunt field is separately excited, the same polarities
must be observed for a given rotation.

For the above generators, the shunt field may be either selfexcited or separately excited. When it is self-excited, connections
should be made as shown by the dotted lines. When the shunt
field is separately excited, it is usually isolated from the other
windings of the machine, but the polarity or the voltage applied
to the shunt field should be as shown for the particular rotation
and armature polarity.

These are average direct-current quantities.

Branch-circuit conductors supplying a single motor shall have an ampacity
not less than 125 percent of the motor full-load current rating.
Armature current varies inversely as applied voltage.
Example: 40 hp motor, 300 volt armature

having higher locked-rotor current.
*Higher values are for motors having lower horsepower ratings.

when operating at rated voltage and frequency, shall not be less than the
minimum efficiency listed in the table above for the motor to be classified
as energy efficient. Nominal efficiency represents a value which should
be used to compute the energy consumption of a motor or group of motors.
Reference: NEMA MG 1-1998 (Rev. 3), 12.60, Table 12-11.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (USA): The nominal full-load efficiency of
electric motors as specified in the Energy Policy Act of 1992 is the same
as that listed in the table for 1.0 to 200.0 hp motors.
