torque. The starting current, or locked-rotor current, is
usually 400 to 600 percent of the current at rated full-load.
Full-load torque is the torque developed to produce the
rated hp at the rated speed. Full-load speed
depends
upon the design of the motor. For induction-motors, a speed
of 1725 rpm is typical for 4-pole motors,-and a speed-of 3450
rpm for 2-pole motors (60 cycles).
Motors have a maximum or breakdown torque which cannot
be exceeded without causing an abrupt change in speed. The
relation between breakdown torque and full-load torque
varies widely depending upon motor design.
Horsepower. The horsepower delivered by a motor is a
product of its torque and speed. Since a given motor will
deliver increasing horsepower up to maximum torque, a basis
for horsepower rating is needed. The National Electrical
Manufacturers Association (NEMA) bases horsepower
rating upon breakdown torque limits. Full-load rating is re
lated to the winding temperature rise. For open-type general
purpose motors, temperature rise is limited to 40 C by ther
mometer, and of 50 C by resistance for Class A. insulation.
Higher temperature rises may be allowed for enclosed and
special-purpose motors and for other insulations.
The service factor of a general purpose motor is defined as
"a multiplier which, applied to the normal horsepower rating,
indicates a permissible loading which may be carried under
the conditions specified for the service factor." Motors other
than general purpose motors have a service factor of 1.0.'.
MOTOR CONTROL
In- general motor control equipment should provide (1) means of discommecting the motor and controller from the power supply, (2) means for starting and stopping the motor, (3) overheating protection for the motor, (4) protection for the operator, (5) control of motor speed, and (6) protection of motor branch circuit conductors and control apparatus.
CvcuUrbreakers are used for disconnecting as well as circuit protection and are available in ratings for use with small household refrigerators as well as in very large commercial installations. Manual switches for disconnecting and fuses for short-circuit protection are also used. For single-phase
motors up to 2 hp, 230-volt, a wall plug is an acceptable dis
connecting device.
Controllers must meet the requirements of power supply,
size and type of motor, and of automatic control. They are
available in a multiplicity of designs, ranging from manna!
across-the-line starters to current-limiting acceleration con
trollers for both alternating- and direct-current motors and
variable-speed control devices.
Three basic types of motor protection devices may be used:
(1) devices sensing current only; (2) devices sensing both cur
rent and temperature; (3) devices sensing temperature only.
Devices sensing current only include magnetic and thermal
overload relays. They may be used separately, or in conjunct
tion with controllers.
Devices sensing both motor current and temperature are
inherent overheating protective devices, and are called
thermal protectors (see the National Electrical Code). They are
used in fractional and small integral hp single-phase and
polyphase motors (usually under 10 hp).
In open motors, the thermal protector is mounted near, on,
or in the winding; in hermetically-sealed motors, it may be
mounted either outside the compressor shell or inside the shell,
on or near the stator winding. Sealed protectors must be used
for the latter application.
Temperature sensing devices are used with integral hp
single-phase and three-phase motors. They are installed
directly on or buried in the motor winding. Three
types
and their use are:
1. Bimetallic thermostats used in conjunction with thermal overload relays and connected in series with the control circuit of the magnetic starter which disconnects the motor. The thermos etat protects against excessive motor winding temperature for running overload. On locked rotor, the thermal relays protect for the initial heating cycle and the combined functioning of relays and thermostats protect for subsequent cycles.
2. Thermistors undergo a change in resistance with tem1 perature and the signal is used in a control cucuit-to operate a relay. This relay in turn interrupts the control circuit of magnetic motor starter which is used to disconnect the motor. Thermal overload relays in conjunction with thermistors are used when required to protect for initial hating cycle locked rotor.
3. Rate-of-rise thermostats have a differential expansion thermal element responsive to the rate of temperature change and respond faster as the rate of temperature ^nangn increases.'

This.charecteristie provides protection for running overloads as well as stalled rotor which involves slow and fast rates of heating of the motor winding. The thermostat contacts are wired in series with the control circuit of a magnetic ,motor contactor which disconnects the motor. Hermetically sealed thermostats must be used for hermetic motors.
.- Motor controllers for single-phase motors must provide means for disconnecting the starting winding of split-phase, or capacitor-start induction-run motors or the start capacitor of capacitor-start, capacitor-run motors. Open machines usually have a- centrifugal switch mounted on the motor shaft, which disconnects the starting winding at about 70 percent full-load speed. Hermetic motors usually have ex ternally mounted starting relays; current-type starting relays for small motors up to % hp, voltage-type starting relays for larger motors.
Controllers and motor protection devices should be selected and installed in accordance with state and local electrical codes. Devices with Underwriters' Laboratories seal, are universally accepted in the United States as complying with the National Electrical Code and meeting minimum safety requirements.
CODES AND STANDARDS
Codes refer to requirements needed in the interest of public health or safety; standards present uniform methods of rating, giving and measuring the performance of electrical equipment in order to provide a yardstick for use and comparison. Codes and standards are sponsored at a national level, and usually
