Temperature Codes (“T” Codes)

Large AC

NEC requires explosion-proof motors to indicate the maximum

operating surface temperature. A “T” Code is used as the temperature
identification value and it is taken from the National Electric Code.
The “T” Code is based on the minimum ignition temperature of the
substances to be found in the hazardous location. (Ignition temperature
is when substance will start to burn or explode) The code, when marked
on a motor nameplate, represents the highest temperature that could be
obtained on the motor surface under any normal or abnormal operating
conditions including locked rotor, single phasing or overloading, and
is chosen to be below the ignition temperature of the substance in

Motor Selection and Application
Large AC
Safety
The use of electric motors, like that of all other utilization of
concentrated power, is potentially hazardous. The degree of hazard can
be greatly reduced by proper design, selection, installation and use, but
hazards cannot be completely eliminated.
Inverter Duty AC Motors
Some of the factors that must be considered for the safe application of
motors are as follows:
1. Enclosure
2. Service conditions
3. Proper matching of the motor to the load
4. Proper sizing and connection to an inverter by qualified technicians
Information on these factors is presented in this section.
Enclosure
The selection of the proper enclosure is vital to the successful safe
operation of AC motors. Machine performance and life can be materially
RPM AC Inverter Duty
reduced by using an enclosure inappropriate for the application. The
customer must recognize the specific environmental conditions and
specify the correct enclosure. Reliance Electric can provide application
assistance, but must depend on the customer to provide accurate
information on the operating conditions.
Reliance Electric offers motors in the following enclosures:
• Open Drip-Proof
• Totally Enclosed (Non-Ventilated, Fan Cooled, Air Over)
• Explosion Proof
RPM XL Small DC Motors
• Dust Ignition Proof
Open Drip-Proof Motor (ODP)
An ODP motor is an open machine having all openings limited in size
to prevent accidental contact with hazardous parts. Internal parts are
protected from drip, splash and falling objects on all horizontal and
vertical mounted motors. ODP motors are suitable for general industrial
use in indoor locations with relatively clean atmospheres.
Totally Enclosed Motor
A totally enclosed motor is one so enclosed as to prevent the free
RPM III Medium DC Motors
exchange of air between the inside and the outside of the case but not
sufficiently enclosed to be termed air-tight. Totally enclosed motors are
suitable for use in dusty dirty locations and in humid environments.
Totally Enclosed Non-Ventilated - Not equipped for cooling by means
external to the enclosing parts. Generally limited to low horsepower
ratings or short-time rated motors.
Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled - Exterior surface cooled by external fan
on motor shaft. Motor cooling is dependent on motor speed.
General Information
M-268
Totally Enclosed Air-Over - Exterior surface cooled by a ventilating
means external to the motor. Customer must provide sufficient air flow
to cool motor.
Additional protection for motors used in extremely dirty or humid
conditions is offered by Reliance mill and chemical duty (XT) features.
(IP) Classification of Enclosures
The classification system consists of the letters IP (Ingress protection)
followed by two numbers. The first number indicates the degree of
protection against entry of solid material into the enclosure. The second
number indicates the degree of protection against entry of liquids.

Explosion Proof and Dust Ignition Proof Motors For
Hazardous Locations
Explosion Proof - An Explosion Proof motor is a totally enclosed
machine designed to operate safely in an environment in which
flammable gas or vapor is present. This is accomplished by limiting
the external surface temperature of the motor below the ignition
temperature of the hazardous gas or vapor surrounding the motor.
Hence it is very important that the end user order a motor with the
proper temperature code. Also the enclosure is designed to contain an
explosion on the inside of the motor which may be caused by arcing,
sparking, or abnormal heat. A flame caused by such an explosion will
not propagate the motor fits and ignite the gas or vapor surrounding
the motor. An explosion proof motor is suitable for operation in Class I
hazardous environment.
Dust Ignition Proof - A Dust Ignition Proof motor is a totally enclosed
machine designed to operate safely in a flammable dust environment.
The motor enclosure prevents the admittance of dust inside the motor.
Also the motor is designed to operate cool enough so as not to ignite
any dust which might accumulate on the external surface of the motor.
Should the motor become blanketed with dust and reduce its normal
cooling, winding thermostats will take the motor off line before the
motor’s external surface temperature reaches the ignition temperature
of the hazardous dust. A dust-ignition-proof motor is suitable for
operation in a Class II hazardous location.
The specific dust or gas present in the hazardous location is identified
by the group listing for each Class. Certain Reliance Electric AC motors
are listed for use in Class I Groups C and D and Class II Groups E,
F and G locations depending on the horsepower rating, frame size
and enclosure as indicated on the price pages. The user customer is
responsible for insuring that the proper UL listed motor is used in a
specific hazardous location.

speed of the rotating magnetic field (which is always synchronous)
and the rotor speed. Slip generally increases with an increase in motor
torque; therefore, actual operating speed generally decreases with an
increase in the driven load torque.

Evaluating Motor Efficiency

ANALYZE, COMPARE AND CALCULATE YOUR ENERGY SAVINGS
The graphs below show how the Duty Master XE motor efficiency and
watts loss curves compare to standard industrial averages. The table
below shows the results of these comparisons in terms of annual
energy savings.
Motor Efficiency
Large AC
As you can see, a 150 HP XE motor could save you $2,831 a year in
power costs over standard 150 HP designs, based on electrical costs of
$.08 per kilowatt hour and 7200 hours of full load operation per year.
The table also shows comparable savings for other motors in the XE
motor line. Your actual savings may vary, depending on the electrical
rates, load conditions and annual operating hours of your application.

Inverter Duty AC Motors

In the long term, the decision to invest in an energy efficient Duty
Master XE motor depends on the energy savings it can provide. Actual
energy savings depend upon many variables including operating hours,
cost of power, duty cycles, and line voltages to name a few. Tax rates
and the future cost of money will also influence the decision.

However, a very simple energy savings calculation can be made to
