solely for installation and use in an industrial environment by sufficiently experienced personnel (to be instructed by the
Customer, with the co-operation of SICMEMOTORI, if required), which is informed of the problems and dangers inherent in the
use of rotating electric machines for voltages up to 1000 V.
Furthermore, SICMEMOTORI responsibility shall lapse in the event of failure to adhere to the contents of the INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INSTALLATION, USE AND MAINTENANCE, which must always be made available to the personnel concerned. Lastly,
SICMEMOTORI shall not be held responsible if any of its products are tampered with for repair or any other reason, by third
parties which have not been explicitly authorised

A.02 Validity of the catalogue

Information given in this catalogue is of a purely indicative nature and may be changed without prior notice.
SICMEMOTORI shall not be held responsible if the products illustrated herein are used outside the limits of the specifications
given.

A.03 Reserved property

This document and its contents are the sole property of SICMEMOTORI. They may not be reproduced either wholly or in part,
nor shown, referred to or in any way transmitted to other persons without express permission in writing from SICMEMOTORI.

A.04 Warranty

All the products described herein are warranted according to our General Terms of Supply given under F.02. The duration of the
warranty is one year from the date of delivery or of notice that goods are ready, unless otherwise agreed between the Customer
and SICMEMOTORI. Warranty and sales support are regulated by instructions given by our ISO9001-2000 Quality

A.05 Introduction to the P-NP series

All P-NP D.C. motors have fully laminated frames and class H insulation. The whole series comprises 20 shaft heights (80-90-
100-112-132-160-180-200-225-250-280-315-355-400-450-500-560-630-710-800), each one with 3 or more core lengths.
Frames 80-112 are 2 poles, and are only available without compensating windings.
Frames 132-250 are 4 poles, and are available both with and without compensating windings.
Frames 280-450 are 4 poles, and are only available with compensating windings.
Frames 500-710 are 6 poles, and are only available with compensating windings.
Frame 800 is 8 poles, and is only available with compensating windings
The power and speed ranges of the versions with and without compensating windings are generally similar for any given size
and armature voltage, but compensation enhance performances under conditions of overloads or weakened field flux. A broad
set of standardised windings are available for each size in both versions, which offers a considerable number of winding
voltage-speed combinations. The magnetic circuit and windings have been designed with special design criteria to obtain
excellent commutation features.
In addition to meeting or exceeding the specifications of Industry Standards, both the materials and application technologies
used for insulating and impregnating the windings, together with the materials and the manufacturing criteria of the
commutators, warrant top-rate general behaviour under even the toughest conditions of use.

D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A.06 Machines designation

The machine designation takes account of the shaft height, the core length and also of the particular manufacture
(corresponding to an IP degree of protection and an IC type of cooling) and of the constructive form IM. An example of
identification code is given below.

NP Designation of series (P-NP)

250 Shaft height

K Letter indicating compensated machine (N: not compensated machine)

L Length category (core length)

5 Selection code for length definition (1)

CBARH Cooling method code (2)

B3 Form of construction code (3)

Notes: (1) Selection code for length definition

This depends on the number of brushes, thus on the length of the commutator. It distinguishes the dimensions corresponding to the
machine on the overall dimensions drawing (see on Technical catalogues)
(2) Cooling method code
This is defined by a SICMEMOTORI code. See B.05. The data plate states the IC cooling method (according to IEC Std. 34-6) and IP
degree of protection (according to IEC Std. 60034-5).
(3) Form of construction code
This is abbreviated using the codes of CEI Std. 2-14 (refer to B.03). The data plate states the form of construction and assembly
layout IM according to IEC Std. 60034-7

A.07 Motors and generators

All P-NP machines can in general be used both as motors and as d.c. generators. Performance ratings given in the technical
catalogues refer to use as variable speed motors connected to three-phase, fully-controlled bridge (6 or 12 thyristors) or, for
frames 80-112 only, to single-phase bridge also.
The performance ratings concerning use as generator will be given upon request.

A.08 Clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation

All P-NP machines are suitable for either clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation without adjustment (as the brushes are radial),
and they are generally tuned in the Test Room for this operating condition. In special cases, when the direction of rotation is
defined, upon request, Test Room tuning may be carried out for one direction only, which will be indicated by a special plate on
the DE (Drive End) shield.

A.09 Reference Standards

All P-NP machines meet the Standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC 60034-1):

B.04 Environment

For standardisation it is assumed that the environment in which our machines are installed is benign, thus:

dry, i.e. with relative humidity of the air below 75%. However an excessively dry atmosphere (below 20% relative humidity) can
cause commutating difficulty (excessive brush wear).
clean, i.e. without appreciable quantities of dust and dirt in general, suspended in the air.
free of chemical agents, i.e. without concentrations of gas or vapours that could chemically harm the copper, iron, aluminium,
paints and insulation.

Our machines can also be installed in difficult environments (damp, dusty, chemically harmful, etc) but in this case the degree of
protection, method of cooling and possibly the choice of materials must be agreed upon previously.
All P-NP machines may be installed in environments with temperature down to 15C and stored in environments with
temperature down to 30C. For lower temperatures please ask SICMEMOTORI.

B.05 Cooling methods IC and degrees of protection IP

P-NP motors can be supplied with various IC cooling methods (according to IEC Std. 34-6), with the corresponding IP degrees
of protection (according to IEC Std. 60034-5). The different versions are distinguished by a special SICMEMOTORI code, to
which reference should be made also for calculating the price, bearing in mind that as far as the price is concerned:
- BPVA and BPVAB are the same as PVA
- BCA is the same as CBA
In addition to the catalogue versions, illustrated in table b.05, other versions (with different cooling methods and/or degree of
protection) are available upon request.

Notes: Machines with IP54 and IP55 degree of protection are suitable for outdoor installation only if under a shed or special cover

B.06 IC-IP versions derived from the catalogue ones

These are special versions designed to obtain a degree of protection above IP 44 for the closed machines, as follows:
- IP54 or IP55: addition of an Angus ring for axial shaft sealing, at the drive end, and other special features;
- IP23W - IP55W; these versions are developed on request (refer to par. B.07).

B.07 Machines for outdoor installation

The designation of the degree of protection according to IEC 60034.5 is with letter W. There are 2 cases:

Open machines (protection IP 23 W), in the sense that air form the outside environment circulates in contact with the active
parts for cooling. Suitable devices are provided to separate any drops of water and solids (dust) carried in the air before it enters
the machine. Terminal boxes degrees of protection is IP 54 or higher. Please ask SICMEMOTORI.

D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Closed machines (protection IP 55 W or higher), with type of

cooling from IC 410 to IC 666 of table b.05. The machine should be
chosen with protection degree IP 55, with the addition of devices to
trap wind-blown dust and dirt outside the frame as well as ensuring
that the machine is weather resistant. Ask SICMEMOTORI.

In both of the above-mentioned cases, if the environment

temperature can fall below OC, precautions must be taken against
the formation of ice in the cooling ducts and on the fan impellers.

B.08 Tropicalization

Tropicalization treatment of the windings consists of impregnating and coating the windings with varnish incorporating additives
to resist moulds.
For frames 225-800 is standard.
For frames 80-200 is available on request.

B.09 Stainless steel screws and bolts

For installation in environments with a chemically aggressive or salty atmosphere, the use of stainless steel bolts and screws is
essential:

closed machines (IP44 or higher)

The use of stainless steel bolts and screws is limited to the outside ones: inspection doors, terminal box covers, fastening
screws, grease guards and heat exchangers, etc..
protected machines (IP23)
Inspection doors or guard fastening screws, covers and terminal box screws fastening the fan, guards, grease guards and brush
holder are made from stainless steel.

B.10 Assembly position of cooling systems

On general principle, the cooling equipment (fan with filter, heat exchanger) can be fitted either at the top or on one side of the
machine.
However, practical problems can arise if the terminal box is required in the same position as the cooling equipment (also see
F.1.0.3).
A guide to the possible choices in the case of cooling with integral fan is given in tables b.10.1 and b.10.2
In the case of heat exchangers, please ask SICMEMOTORI.

B.11.1 Magnetic circuit

This is formed of low loss disk laminations painted on both sides. The pack of
laminations is induction-heated before inserting the shaft (keyless) and is thus
fitted on the shaft itself with an interference which ensures torque transmission
even in the event of sudden inversions or short circuit.

D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

B.11.2 Commutator
Commutator segments are made from electrolytic copper. Insulation between
segments is in micanite with synthetic class H binder. Commutator
assembling on the shaft is with interference, keyless.

Frames 80-200
Commutator is moulded in resin; for some specific application a V-ring
commutator design can be used. Winding wires are soldered to the
commutator lugs with a special tin alloy, with softening temperature above the
maximum temperature attainable in service. When necessary by the
application, TIG welding system can be used.
Frames 225-315
Commutator is moulded in resin; for some specific application a V-ring
commutator design can be used. Connections between winding wires to
commutator lugs is made by TIG welding system.
Frames 355-800
Commutator is banded. Connections between winding wires to commutator
lugs is made by TIG welding system.

B.11.3 Windings
Windings are made from class H enamelled copper strip, with additional
thickness of reinforced insulation, or with class H enamelled copper wire, with
grade 2 double thickness. For frames 355-800 an extra reinforcing is obtained
by incorporating a layer of woven glass fibre insulation.
The materials used for insulation from earth are all class H (insulating layers and insulation of slots in nomex). Length cutting,
terminal stripping and forming of the conductors are performed by special systems and equipment.
Impregnation is carried out with single-component polyester resin without solvent and it is total, VPI type, pressurized under
vacuum; this way the best possible heat transmission between the wires and the magnetic pack is obtained; the banding of the
winding heads is carried out hot with glass tape impregnated with polymerised heat hardening polyester resin.
For frames 225-800 windings surfaces are protected by a coat of protecting varnish.

B.12 The stator

B.12.1 Magnetic circuit

Machines described in this catalogue have a polygonal cross-section, with:
2 main poles and 2 commutating poles for frames 80-112;
4 main poles and 4 commutating poles for frames 132-450;
6 main poles and 6 commutating poles for frames 500-710;
8 main poles and 8 commutating poles for frame 800
The magnetic circuit (frame and poles) is fully laminated. This enables good
commutation even in the event of sudden current peaks due to thyristors
supply. The particular construction of the stator pack enables the reduction of
eddy currents and helps to make the machine capable of withstanding very
high current gradients (see D.02.5). The plates are pressed inside a sturdy
steel cage, welded by a fully automatic system; the result is a compact and
rigid block.

B.12.2 Windings
Windings on the main and commutating poles are in class H enamelled copper wire or strip with the same features described for
the rotor windings (see B.10.3). Impregnation and surface protection processes are also similar.

B.13 End shields

The utmost care is given to manufacture the end shields (DE and NDE) in very high precision CNC machines. End shields are
manufactured with wide openings to provide good access to the commutator (and to the brushes and brush-holders) and
simplify version changes (moving the fan for example) necessary at times when the machine has already been delivered.
The shields used for the machines in this catalogue are made by:
- aluminium for frames 80-112;
- cast iron for frames 132-280;
- electrically-welded steel for frames 315-800
When requested by the type of application, also end shields of frames 132-280 cab be made in electrical-welded steel.
For motors with mounting arrangements IM2001-IM3001 and derivated to be connected directly to a gearbox, please refer to
par. E.04.8.

B.14 Brushes and brush-holders

Brush holders used are of the constant pressure type: the pressure exerted on the brush is practically constant, it is not affected
by gradual brush wear and does not require adjustment over the course of time.

D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Various types of brushes are available with different physical characteristics

and compositions; they can be of the twin type when requested by the duty.
Motors frames 225-800 have always twin brushes.
Test Room checks the suitability of the type of brush specified by the
Technical Dept., bearing in mind the actual conditions of use as far as
possible.
If working experience suggests the need to change the type of original brush,
it is recommended that as a precaution SICMEMOTORI should always be
consulted beforehand for approval.

Brush holders are available with brush wear monitor device (see E.02.3).
After final machine set-up (brushes in neutral zone) in the Test Room, the
position of the brush rocker plate is locked and marked, to simplify refitting
after removal during maintenance.

B.15 Shaft

The shaft is normally in carbon steel with bearings housings accurately

machined; the rotor pack is hot fitted on the shaft with interference (see
B.11.1). For very high loads, special steels are used.
The torque is normally transmitted to the coupled load by one shaft end, but
upon request a second shaft end can be specified (of course the total power
transmitted should not exceed the machine data plate power).
The second shaft end on the commutator side is sized for the nominal torque
rating and can only be used with direct coupling.
The shaft end is normally keywayed, but keyless shaft are available on request or when the particular application makes it
necessary ( for applications with fast and frequent overloads, or for tandem or triple motors, keyless shaft is strongly
recommended). In that case, shrunk-on of half couplings on shafts must be made at hot, with interference.
Please refer to Appendix, paragraphs 1a-1f, to calculate the maximum transmissible torque in function of the load.

B.16 Bearings

Bearings normally specified for the machines in this catalogue are rolling bearings, ball or roller. All bearings are oversized
clearance C3.
DE ball bearings are available for direct coupling without radial load (please refer to par. B.17).

Frames 80-180
Standard arrangement uses ball bearings on both DE and NDE, life lubricated, double shield (2Z type).
DE roller bearings are available for coupling with pulley and belt with high radial load. (except for frames 80-100; please refer to
par. B.17)
Frame 200
Standard arrangement uses ball bearings on both DE and NDE, grease lubricated, with ball nipple and drainage of used grease,
single shield (Z type).
DE roller bearings are available for coupling with pulley and belt with high radial load (please refer to par. B.17).
Frames 225-800
Standard arrangement uses ball bearing on NDE and roller bearing on DE, grease lubricated, with ball nipple and drainage of
used grease

The recommended lubrication intervals and the amount of grease to be used are given on the data plate. To define the
lubrication programme, complete grease changing and changing the bearings, strict compliance with the Instructions for
Installation, Use and Maintenance is necessary.
Bearings allow a radial and/or axial load in relation to the speed of rotation, type of load and theoretical life calculated on the
basis of statistic data made available by the bearing manufacturers. In case of radial and/or axial loads, please ask
SICMEMOTORI.
Bearings normally used are shown in the Technical Catalogues. Anyway, table b.16 shows the standard ones.

Table b.16

B.17 Pulley coupling Maximum admissible radial loads Special bearings for direct coupling

When the torque transmission is made through a pulley-belt system, it is necessary to verify the radial load F r applied to the
shaft end and to the DE bearing, to avoid to incur in serious problems on the shaft end and DE bearing themselves.
The radial load Fr is generated by the belt pull, necessary for the correct torque transmission, every time there is such a type
of coupling between motor and load.
Please refer to Appendix, paragraph 1g, to calculate the type of bearing to use.

B.18 Axial load

The axial load may be induced by the coupled machine, or caused by the type of coupling adopted. The Customer should
always inform SICMEMOTORI of the amount and direction of any axial load.
In general, machines built for operation with vertical axis accept a coupling element with steady axial load of 10% of the rotor
weight with no need of constructional alterations.

B.19 Axial thrusts

These thrusts (instantaneous stresses, possibly repeated) can lead from the coupled machine. Please always ask
SICMEMOTORI in cases like these.

B.20 Balancing and vibrations

All the machines in this catalogue are balanced according to IEC 60034-14 Class N. Balancing is carried out with the half key
(therefore the half-coupling must be balanced with half key). Machines with special balancing (class R or S) are supplied upon
request.
Limits of vibration severity are given in table b.20 (tolerance 10%).

B.21 Noise level

According to IEC 34-9, noise levels to be warranted refer to a machine operating with no load, powered at the nominal supply
voltage, with the ventilation system on.
Noise levels expressed in sound pressure are detected using a phonometer positioned at the centre of the 4 sides of the direct
current machine tested and of the nosepiece of the fan for PVA motors, or of the asynchronous motor for machines with heat
exchangers, at a distance of approx.1 metre.
The mean of these values is the noise rating adopted by SICMEMOTORI.
Typical values of the sound pressure and of the associated power, obtained by the methods described above, valid for motors
with combined fan with 50 Hz filter are given in table b.21.

B.22 Main terminal box

The main terminal box is in welded steel (excepted for frames 80-112, where
it is in aluminium), and very generously sized inside, in compliance with CSA
and NEMA Standards.
It contains:
- the main terminals (armature circuits), formed of generously-sized copper
bars, fastened in insulated supports, pierced to simplify the fitting of the
plant cables.
- a terminal block for the separately excited field circuit
- a terminal block for the auxiliary protection circuits
- a box earth terminal distinguished by a special data plate.
The standard terminal box has IP54 degree of protection. Higher degrees of protection can be obtained upon request. Terminal
box is normally located at right (viewing from the DE); on request, when ordering, it can be positioned on top or left side (see
B.10); frames 80-112 have terminal box on top as standard.
The diagrams for connection to the terminal box for motors with separate excitation and compensation windings are shown in
fig.b.22.1 and b.22.2 (terminals marked according to IEC 60034-8).
On the standard version, two plates, 4 mm or more in thickness are screwed on opposite walls of the box, to be drilled by the
Customer.
The terminal box is rectangular, with the longer side normally at right angles to the machine axis. The box can be fitted turned
90 on its own axis, if this is requested when ordering.

B.23 Painting of finished products

SICMEMOTORI has standardized certain painting cycles, which should be

chosen considering the machine operating environment. Any other cycles may
be defined in agreement with the Customer when ordering.
The final standard colour is green RAL6011; other colours are available upon
prior agreement when ordering.

B.23.1 Preparation of the surfaces

Regardless of the specified painting cycle, all the machines undergo surface
preparation treatment to ensure excellent adherence of the paint.
The shields and terminal boxes are always degreased and painted with one or
more coats of epoxy primer; the lids and hatches are treated with electrolytic
galvanising; the wound stator packs are covered with impregnation insulating
paint which acts as a perfect base coat; the cooling systems (fans, heat
exchangers) are degreased and painted with primer.
Thus all parts of each machine have received at least one coat of primer in
preparation for final painting with the specified finish.

B.23.2 Standard painting cycles

The painting cycles standardised by SICMEMOTORI are described in table
b.23.2.The primer adherence index is 1 (according to DIN Std.53151).
The paints used contain no lead, chromium or zinc or their components.
Technical characteristics of paints are available on request to
SICMEMOTORI.
The Customer must previously check if the paint cycle is suitable for its
application.
In lack of other instructions, all machines are painted according to cycle 1.

C. ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE RATINGS

C.01 Form factor, ripple and dissymmetry of the armature current

m
The ratio between the effective value I e and the mean value I of the current is defined as the Form Factor ff. For perfectly
continuous currents, Ie and Im coincide, therefore ff = 1.
If the current is not perfectly continuous , Ie is greater than Im and ff is higher than 1.
The fact that Ie is greater than Im causes on increase in the heating of the circuits with respect to what would occur with I e = Im,
thus ff = 1.
The presence of an alternating component in the armature current also tends to adversely affect commutation, because it
introduces an instantaneous lag between the current itself and the flux produced by the auxiliary poles and compensating
windings.
The machines in this catalogue have the magnetic stator circuit completely laminated so that this lag is minimised and they are
suitably sized from the thermal point of view so that they can operate correctly under all the load and overload conditions and
through the whole speed range specified, provided that the ff of the armature current is:
<= 1.05 for three-phase fully controlled bridge supply;
<= 1,4 for single-phase fully controlled bridge supply.
The ripple Rp of a current I is the ratio between the effective value of the alternating component I ea and its mean value Im
expressed as a percentage:
Rp%=100xIea/Im
The ripple is a quantity to which reference is often made in electronics. The conversion from the Ripple to the Form Factor of a
current is obtained as follows:
2
ff= 1+(Rp%/100)

The alternating component of the armature current is not generally perfectly

symmetrical, due to factors inside the converter.
This dissymmetry has consequences both on motor heating and on
commutation capability, and it must therefore be contained within appr.10% of
the nominal current rating (dwg. c.01).

c.01
C.02 Armature current with rotor locked

The direct current motor can be required to supply a torque even at standstill, in which case it needs to be appropriately
energised and the armature circuit must be conducting current.
The limits to the value of this current and its duration in time are of a thermal nature, meaning that the heating in the contact
area between brushes and commutator can lead to localised changes of the molecular structure of the commutator surface.
For preliminary assessment of the possibility of a machine to cope with this kind of operating conditions, refer to table c.02. For
application requirements outside the standard range, please consult SICMEMOTORI.

C.03 Current gradient

Automatic control systems associated with static rectifiers often involve sudden step changes of the reference signal, followed
by transient stages during which the limit current allowed by the system is established extremely rapidly, which persists until the
value set for the controlled quantity is reached. The current gradient dl/dt in relation to time mainly affects commutation, and it is
very important that the machines built into modern systems be capable of coping with high dl/dt values without impairment. The
machines in this catalogue can withstand extremely rapid current changes, with gradient up to 200 I n/sec (the permitted rate of
th
change allows the current to pass from 0 to the nominal rating in 1/200 of a sec).

 D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

C.04 Compensating windings

The electrical machine is often required to supply or to absorb the shaft torque
above the nominal rating as motor or generator.
Th is occurs when the coupled load requires it, and also during acceleration
and deceleration, when the torque needed to change the speed of the inertia
is added to the load torque.
At nominal excitation, torque and current are roughly proportional, but the
armature reaction caused by the current that circulates in the armature tends
to reduce the flux generated by the main poles, thereby making more than
proportional armature current necessary to obtain a certain torque.
In order to dramatically reduce the effects of the armature reaction and make
torque delivered almost linearly proportional to the armature current, the
compensating winding is added on the stator, which embraces pairs of
adjacent poles and conducts the armature current itself.
A not compensated machine is generally less expensive, but the
corresponding static converter is often more expensive: in fact its power
device must be sized for the maximum current required, even if of short
duration.
Compensating windings are not available for sizes 80-112.
Sizes 132-250 are available both with and without compensating windings.
Sizes 280-800 are always with compensating windings.

C.05 Overloads in torque and current

The maximum torques and currents and their allowable duration for the machines in this catalogue are given in table c.05.
With regard to the duration, the root mean square current rating lte must never exceed the nominal current rating In (see C.08).

C.06 NEMA Standards overload capability

All P-NP machines can electrically comply with NEMA MG.1-23.41 Standards.
In particular, motors can be selected according to the following loads, with successful commutation (metal rolling mills,
excluding reversing hot mills, open, forced ventilation IC06 or totally enclosed with air-water cooler IC86W):

- 115% of rated load continuously at rated voltage throughout the rated speed range; under this load, temperature rises
will be higher and other characteristics may differ from those specified for operation under rated conditions
- 125% of rated load for 2 hours at rated voltage throughout the rated speed range, following continuous operation at
rated load, without exceeding the temperature rises specified for operation at rated load; other characteristics may
differ from those specified for operation under rated conditions
- the following momentary (1 minute) loads:

% of rated load
% of base speed Occasionally Frequently
applied * applied **
100 200 175
200 200 160
300 or over 175 140

* Occasionally applied momentary load capacity: denotes the ability of a motor to carry loads in excess of its continuous
rating for a period not to exceed 1 minute on an infrequent or emergency basis
** Frequently applied momentary load capacity: denotes the ability of the motor to carry loads in excess of its rating on a
repetitive basis, such as a part of a regular duty cycle.

Important: operation at the momentary or frequently applied loads must be followed by light load operation such that
the rms load value of the complete load cycle does not exceed the continuous motor rating. Also, the time of operation
at momentary or frequently applied loads must be limited to a period such that rated temperature rise is not exceeded.

For selecting motors according to abovementioned NEMA Standards ( or according to NEMA Standards for reversing hot mills),
please always ask SICMEMOTORI.

D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

C.07 Excitation

The ampere turns required to generate the flux of the direct current machine are produced by the excitation current (field
current) which circulates in the coils of the main poles (excitation or field windings).
The latter is normally connected to a different rectifier than the armature, thereby obtaining separate excitation. The rectifier for
the excitation circuit can be either a simple rectifier with nominally constant voltage, or a true voltage regulator, when speed
adjustment above base speed is required (see C.09.3).
If the excitation winding is supplied from the same source as the armature, shunt excitation is obtained.
If a suitable excitation winding is connected in series to the armature winding so that the armature current also becomes
excitation current the result is series excitation.
A series winding can be used in combination with the main separate or shunt excitation winding, thereby forming separate plus
series stabilizing or compound excitation.
Separate excitation plus stabilizing winding is usually specified when there is: the need to have particularly high starting torques;
to enhance the stability inherent in the mechanical characteristic up to the maximum pre-determined loads (independent of any
stabilizing action of supply and control itself, for example through tachometric control); need to balance the mechanical
characteristics of different motors operating in parallel; etc..
Normally the motors of this catalogue are supplied with separate excitation. This type of excitation makes it possible to regulate
the motor speed, increasing it with respect to the nominal value, by the utilisation of a static converter. A reduction of the field
voltage (current) gives as result an increasing of the motor speed (field weakening) at constant power (refer to Appendix 4f).
The other types of excitation are available on request.

C.08 Forcing of the independent field

The independent field circuit generally has a high inductance with respect to the resistance, hence a high time constant.
Because of this, when the excitation voltage is applied the corresponding current is not established instantaneously, but it grows
exponentially up to the normal operating value.
To reduce the time needed to reach the required excitation rating, forcing can be carried out by applying a higher voltage than
the nominal rating to the field in the transient stage.
For the machines in this catalogue, the maximum allowed forcing voltage is 1.5 x nominal.
For higher forcing rates, enquiries should be made with SICMEMOTORI.
Regardless of the forcing rate of frequency of repeated forcings, the root mean square value of the excitation current should
never exceed the nominal rating.

C.09 Rotation speed

The direct current machine excited and supplied at a certain armature voltage V a tends to set itself in motion and reach such a
speed that the back e.m.f. force that is generated inside balanced the actual V a (operating as motor).

C.09.1 Base speed

This is the speed obtained supplying the armature at nominal voltage and circulating the nominal excitation current in the
excitation winding, when the load requires nominal torque from the shaft.
Thus the base speed is the equivalent of nominal speed.

C.09.2 Minimum speed

To reduce speed below the base speed the armature voltage must be reduced with excitation constant. Under these conditions,
since the machine conducting by nominal armature current, it can deliver nominal torque to the shaft: thus speed change below
the nominal speed is also said to be at constant torque.
Since the armature current is constant, losses due to the Joule effect in the windings remain roughly constant, thus the machine
can work in continuous service at reduced speed and nominal torque only if the cooling system so permits (i.e. if its
effectiveness is independent of rotation speed).
This is normally the case for the machines in this catalogue. The minimum speed for continuous operation depends on the
importance given to regularity of shaft rotation (constant angular speed during the turn), and on the total moment of inertia
(motor and coupled load): roughly operation down to a few tenths of a turn per minute may be considered acceptable.

C.09.3 Maximum speed under field weakening

The maximum speed that is permitted above base speed is essentially limited by commutation requirements, as shown by the
curves given in the performance tables in the technical catalogues, and it must never exceed the maximum mechanical speed
allowed (given in technical catalogues too).
To rise above the base speed, the excitation current needs to be reduced with the armature voltage constant. Since the
machine is supplied at nominal armature voltage, under these conditions it can deliver nominal power to the shaft: hence, speed
change above the base speed is said to be at constant power. In practice, there are technical factors which place an effective
on the highest speed at which true constant power operation is possible with any given armature winding. Beyond this speed,
operation is usually possible at a reduced power rating which may nevertheless be adequate.
Accordingly, the necessary derating curves are shown in the technical catalogues adjacent to the associated power rating
tables.

 D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

C.10 Power

In electrical machines the output power, i.e. the power leaving the actual machine is taken into consideration. In a motor, the
electric power is that supplied by the shaft which equals the product of torque by rotation speed.
Conversely, in a generator, the output power is that supplied at the terminals when the machine, connected to an electrical load
and duly energised, is kept in rotation by a prime mover: the output power from a generator equals the product of the voltage at
the terminals by the current delivered.
The output power corresponds to an absorbed power (electric in the case of a motor, mechanical in the case of a generator)
which is increasingly higher as the efficiency of the machine reduces below 1.

C.10.1 Nominal power

This is the power that a machine supplied (excited) under nominal conditions can deliver in continuous service at nominal speed
without exceeding the overtemperatures allowed by its insulation system.
For a variable speed direct current motor (the most common case) the nominal power can be of little interest.
In fact, repeated speed changes during service involve acceleration and deceleration torques (and currents) which are added to
those of the load; additionally, in the case of self-ventilated machines there is a reduction of the heat dispersion capability when
the speed is below the nominal rating.
Also generators can be subjected to overloads of amount and duration that cannot be neglected which prevent utilisation of the
nominal continuous rated power.

C.10.2 Equivalent thermal current

The equivalent thermal current lte of a current no matter how variable during a defined period of time (cycle) is the constant
current that has the same thermal effect (heating of the elements of the circuit due to the Joule effect) as the current given. If the
effective current can be represented with sufficient accuracy in relation to time by a series of horizontal lines of different heights,
lte is calculated simply by the following formula:
2 2 2
I1 xt1 + I2 xt2 + + In xtn
Ite =
t1 + t2 + + tn

A formula of this type can be reached with some acceptable simplification in

most practical cases (fig.c.10.2). It is interesting to note that the sign, i.e. the
direction of the current (thus of the torque if the flux does not invert) does not
affect the equivalent thermal current, as all the current values in the formula
are squared.

Fig. c.10.2
C.10.3 Equivalent thermal power

If one associates the nominal voltage of the machine with an equivalent thermal current l te, a Pte is obtained, i.e. an equivalent
thermal power.
This can be a good guide in the preliminary choice of the machine.

C.11 Different types of duties

IEC Std. 60034.1 defines a certain number of Services for electric motors (designated with an abbreviation from S1 to S10), with
reference to the course of the output power over time.
Because of the above considerations, the application of these Standards to direct current machines is not always possible
without suitable adjustment (through preliminary calculation of the equivalent thermal current, examination of the particular type
of cooling specified).
The purchaser is always responsible to declare the duty; in case the duty is not declared, SICMEMOTORI assumes that
duty S1 (continuous running duty) applies.
Please refer also to Appendix (paragraph 2).

C.11.1 Continuous running duty Duty type S1

This consists in constant continuous service which lasts at least until thermal balance with the environment is reached (constant
overtemperature).
This service condition is referred to when speaking about nominal power, and the performance rates of the machines in this
catalogue refer to this condition.
Except where otherwise stated, service S1 is considered achieved under nominal supply (armature voltage, excitation current)
and load conditions (nominal torque) with constant environment temperature.

C.11.2 Short-time duty Duty type S2

This consists in loaded service for a limited amount of time, below that required for reaching thermal balance. The shorter the
time taken into consideration, the higher the allowed load with respect to that of service S1. The end of this time must
necessarily be followed by an adequate cooling period.
Times normally considered are 30 min and 60 min.

D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

C.11.3 Intermittent or continuous periodic duties , other duties

These are duties known as S3 and over (up to S10) by the above-mentioned Standards. The definition of these duties is given
in the IEC 60034-1Standards. Please refer also to Appendix (paragraph 2).

C.11.4 Service Factor

The Service Factor is used especially in environments influenced by the American Technical culture to give a quantitative
indication of the continuous overload capability of the machines, beyond the overtemperature ratings allowed by reference
Standards, but always within limits which warrant satisfactory life of the actual machines. It is however clear that operating the
machines above their nominal power even within the limits of the guaranteed Service Factor, should only be an exceptional
occurrence, to be limited to the time strictly indispensable for adapting the installed capacity.

C.12 Power rating variation with different environmental conditions

The data given in technical catalogues are valid under the following environmental conditions:
- max. environment temperature 40C;
- max. altitude of installation 1000 m. above sea level
Environment temperatures above 40C involve a reduction of the power rating available at the motor shaft (or at the generator
terminals), to maintain the winding overtemperature within the limits established by the Standards.
If the machine is to operate at an altitude of over 1000 m. above sea level (up to 4000 mt) it is jointly admitted , unless otherwise
agreed between the parties, that the effects of the altitude and of the reduced temperature compensate one another.

C.13 Power rating variation with different types of cooling

The data given in technical catalogues are valid for the types of cooling given in table c.12. Other types of ventilation cause a
reduction of the power available at the motor shaft (or generator terminals) to compensate the lower effectiveness in ventilation.

C.14 Power rating variation with different allowed temperature rise

The data given in technical catalogues are valid for class H temperature rise (same as the insulation class).This means that the
hottest parts of the windings can reach an absolute temperature of 165C (40C environment temperature plus 125C allowed
by Standards for the insulating materials of class H).
Sometimes the winding temperature rise is requested to be limited to lower ratings, relating to class F or B (or intermediate).
In this case, the powers available at the motor shaft (or generator terminals) must be reduced to contain in the temperature rise
within the established limits.

C.15 Corrective coefficients

These are the coefficients that need to be used to bring the power ratings (and speed) required by the application to values
compatible with the power and speed data given in technical catalogues, when the type of service, ventilation, environment
temperature and temperature rise differ from the standard ones indicated in the previous paragraphs. The various coefficients
are multiplied together when multiple deviations from standard occur, obtaining 2 overall coefficients:

coefficient Kp referring to the power;

coefficient Kn referring to the speed.

To select a frame size suitable for required power/speed:

- the power rating to be found in the technical catalogues should be divided by K p.
- the speed rating to be found in the technical catalogues should be multiplied by K n

C.15.1 Corrective coefficients for duties other than S1 (table c.15.1)

Care should be taken to ensure that the ratio between maximum torque and nominal torque does not exceed 1.9 for
compensated machines nor 1.6 for not compensated machines.

Duty S1 Mounting IM1001 (B3)
Insulation and temperature rise class H
There are no corrective coefficients to be considered.
Checking in the performance tables on the technical catalogues it is found that the motor NP280KM winding 45 gives 440 V 450
kW at 1299 g/1.
Looking at the appropriate table we find the integrating code for winding 45 is 6.
So that the motor to offer is:
NP 280 KM6-PVA/B3.

2 Motor with separate excitation, with field weakening.

P = 130 kW
n = 700/1200 RPM at constant power
V = 400 V
Ambient temperature 40 C Degree of protection IP23 Type of cooling C06-PVA
Duty S1 Mounting IM1001 (B3)
Insulation and temperature rise class H
There are no corrective coefficients to be considered.
The first thing to look for on the performance tables in technical catalogues is the motor with winding able to supply 130 kW at
700 RPM.
We find that motor NP250KS winding 55 supplies 146 kW at 691 RPM with 400 V.
Now, we take a look at what happens on the field weakening curve for winding 55 at 1200 RPM (on technical catalogues too).
We find a Kp of 0.9, thus the power this motor is able to supply at 1200 RPM is:
146 x 0.9 = 131.4 kW
This value is still higher than the 130 kW required, therefore the motor is suitable for supplying the performance rating required.
The selection code for winding 55 is 5, therefore the motor to offer is:
NP 250 KS5-PVA/B3.

This is a section of duct with two flanges for connection to the air inlet vent in the motor and to the fan delivery vent. It may be
necessary when the fan and the terminal box are required on the same side of the direct current machine, to prevent
interference.

E.01.2 Air-water heat exchanger

The standard heat exchanger is mainly comprised of a cooling battery of

copper pipes for the circulation of water and a surrounding pack of aluminium
vanes through which the air passes. Before reaching the cooling battery the
air, which is circulated by an electric fan, passes through a removable,
washable and self-extinguishing VILEDON filter (see E.01.1.1). The water
must be soft, industrial water with a maximum inlet temperature of 26 C and
a maximum inlet pressure of 7 bar. For higher temperatures or different types
of water (e.g. salty) please ask SICMEMOTORI. The environmental
temperature in the place of installation must be between +5 and 40 C. For
other temperatures please ask SICMEMOTORI.
The main specifications concerning air-water heat exchangers are given in
technical catalogues
The exchanger is usually fitted on the top of the direct current machine, upon
request it may also be fitted on the side (please ask SICMEMOTORI). The
CBARH version is chosen when a good degree of protection is required (IP 44
or over) and the water needed is available. Type of cooling IC 86 W.
Protection devices for air-water heat exchanger.
Figures e.01.2.1 and e.01.2.2 show the different solutions adopted for P-NP

D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Flow switch
This is a relay type FF81, with flexible blade dipped in the fluid to be controlled which operates the switching of a microswitch.
Maximum operating pressure 10 bar. Operating current 4A at 250 Vac (SICMEMOTORI code 1.00.0.9.77.02).

Water losses device

Under the cooling battery, a cup is placed to collect any eventual water loss. The device is a magnetic level sensor type ILSP
S2 (SICMEMOTORI code 1.00.0.9.77.03), 250 V 3 A.

E.01.2.2 Terminal box for air-water heat exchanger

Each heat exchanger is supplied with a terminal box (degree of protection IP54 or over), containing the terminals of the
protection devices listed under E.01.2.1 and those of the asynchronous motor of the electric fan. The terminal box contains also
the ventilation failure device and the inner air thermostat.

E.01.3 Air-air heat exchanger

The heat exchanger essentially comprises a cooling battery with finned

aluminium pipes. The air inside the direct current machine is circulated in a
closed circuit by an electric fan, and before entering the battery it passes
through a removable, washable, self-extinguishing VILEDON filter (see
E.01.1.1).
The cold ambient air is drawn through, from bottom to top, by another electric
fan. The main specifications of the air-air heat exchangers are given in
technical catalogues.
The exchanger is usually fitted on top of the direct current machine, but upon
request it may also be fitted on the side (please ask SICMEMOTORI). This
type of heat exchanger is chosen, despite the derating it involves in the
performance of the direct current machine, when a good degree of protection
is required (IP 44 or over) and water of the suitable quality and/or sufficient
quantity for the air-water heat exchanger is not available. A typical instance of
the use of machines in the CBARO version is that of outdoor installation in a
duty or aggressive environment, when the environment temperature can fall
below 0C.

E.01.3.1 Protection devices for air-air heat exchangers

The standard devices specified for air-air heat exchangers are the following

Ventilation failure detector

2 devices are foreseen, one for each air circuit:
Inner air circuit: this is the differential pressure switch type LGW 10 A2 already described under E.01.2.1 (SICMEMOTORI code
8.1.59.1.2.070.0.).
Outer air circuit: this is the pressure switch HUBA 625-90-40 already described under E.01.1.2 (SICMEMOTORI code
8.1.59.1.1.006).

Inner air thermostat

A thermostat C03A is specified as described under E.01.2.1 (SICMEMOTORI code 1.00.0.9.7701).

E.01.3.2 Terminal box for air-air heat exchanger

Each heat exchanger of this type is supplied with a terminal box (degree of protection IP 54 or over) containing the terminals of
the protection devices listed under E.01.3.1 and those of the asynchronous motors of the 2 electric fans.
The box also contains the inside air ventilation failure detector and the thermostat.

E.01.4 Natural convection heat exchanger

A channel in welded sheet metal connects the two upper vents of the direct
current machine. The release of heat to the walls of the channel is aided by
inner ribbing.
The heat is transmitted from the channel to the environment air by natural
convection.
The version CNVC is with degree of protection IP 44 or over.
Type of cooling IC 610.
This version, available only for sizes 132-250 may be chosen for installation in
very dusty or outdoor environments.

E.01.6 Noise reduction devices for machines with fitted heat exchanger

The reduction of the noise level is more evident in machines with air-air heat exchanger, where the high level of noise is caused
by the high speed of the cooling air of the outside circuit. SICMEMOTORI has developed a special type of air-air cooler with
lower noise level, as shown in e.06.1 (average values measured as described in point B.21). For more details please contact
SICMEMOTORI.

E.02 Accessories for protection and control

E.02.1 Devices for protection against overtemperature

These are temperature sensors which are normally applied in the machine to detect the temperature of an element of the
armature circuit (auxiliary poles coil), and give a signal to operate the release relays of the main contactor.
The same types of sensors can be used to detect the temperature of other points of the machine (main poles, inside air) and
supply release signals or only alarm signals.

E.02.1.1 Klixon thermal protectors

These are bimetal NC contacts which open when the temperature exceeds a predetermined value and close again when it falls
below the trip level by a predetermined margin. Type 9700-K-4611 is used (SICMEMOTORI Code 8.1.47.1.0.150).
All SICMEMOTORI D.C. motors are normally supplied with 1 Klixon on an auxiliary pole (sizes 80-315) or with 1 Klixon on an
auxiliary pole and 1 on a main pole (sizes 355-800). Other klixons can be supplied upon request.
The main specifications of klixon 9700-K-46-11, referring to 250 Vac, 50/60 Hz, are as follows:
operating current at cos . 0.6 : 1.2 A
operating current at cos . 1 : 2A
maximum continuous capacity : 4A
cut-in temperature : 150C (5C)
maximum capacity of contacts
<= 18 A at 24 Vdc
<=18 A at 115 Vac
<=13 A at 230 Vac
The klixon terminals are contained in the main terminal box of the direct current machine.
The protection is against slow overloads or insufficient ventilation.

E.02.1.2 PTC thermistors

These are elements with a positive temperature coefficient with a low resistance rating, practically constant below the set rating,
which increases sharply above the set rating. Type Q-63100-P2390-C833 is used (SICMEMOTORI code 8.1.80.1.02.03). The
PTCs are used upon request in place of the klixons, in the same manner.
Their main specifications are as follows:
Operating voltage : 220/265 V
Nominal current : 35 mA at 25C
Cut-in current : 50 mA at 25C
Commutation current : 70 mA at 25 C
Resistance : 120 ohm at 25C
Reference temperature : 140 C
Tolerance : +7% on set rating
The PTC terminals are contained in the main terminal box of the direct current machine.
For use the PTCs need a power supply (indicative consumption 3,5 VA at 24 V dc), including a release relay with closed contact
at rest which can break 1,5 A at 230 Vdc or 1,25 A at 24 Vdc.
This appliance must be installed in the control equipment associated with the machine and is excluded from SICMEMOTORI
supply.
The protection is against fast and high overloads or insufficient ventilation.

D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

E.02.2 Overtemperature measuring devices

These are sensors which, fitted in different points of the direct current machine, are each capable of transmitting a signal
proportionate with the temperature detected, as their resistance changes linearly with the temperature itself.

E.02.2.1 Pt100 platinum thermal detectors

The sensitive elements are type 1 PT100 FKG 430.6 (SICMEMOTORI code 8.1.80.1.0070.0) and they have the following
specifications:
Range of use : 0-200C
precision at 0C : 0,3C
precision at 100C : 0,8C
The two wires leading from each platinum element are taken to the main terminal box of the direct current machine. For the use
of these elements a control unit is needed which powers them at stabilised voltage and is complete with an indicator calibrated
in C and switch (manual or automatic) for periodical measurement of the overtemperatures in the various points under control.
The control unit is excluded from SICMEMOTORI supply. Normally only one such unit is used to monitor both the direct current
machine and the coupled load.

E.02.3 Brush wear control device CR1 system

All P-NP machines may be fitted with a system that warms when the maximum brush wear limit has been reached, so that they
can be changed before any damage to the commutator. Al2 relays, supplied as part of the device and normally supplied loose
(for assembling into the control box), gives a signal which can be properly utilised by the operator.

E.02.4 Overspeed switch

The centrifugal switch is normally fitted on the NDE of any direct current machine designed for operation under field weakening
(speed adjustment at constant power). Its purpose is to provide backup protection against excessive overspeeds, in addition to
the protection already given by a current relay inserted in the excitation circuit control equipment; in fact, this relay is not very
reliable when field-weakening is very heavy. Types normally foreseen and their specifications are given in table e.02.4.

Operating speed NC contact capacity

RC2 600 6300 3% 2A
FSL 800 5200 3% 2A
Table e.02.4

The cut-in speed of the centrifugal switch is set 12% higher than the maximum speed at which the direct current machine to be
protected should work (unless otherwise agreed upon at the time of ordering).
The centrifugal switch is usually requested together with a tachogenerator and/or with a pulse generator (see E.03.04).

E.02.5 Bearing vibration control sensor

This is a sensor fitted in the immediate vicinity of each rolling bearing, capable of transmitting an alarm signal at the first sign of
abnormal noise.
Unless particularly agreed upon, this accessory is not included in our supply; but upon request and according to precise
indications, holes are drilled for their installation in correspondence with the bearing housings.
In lack of instructions, connection for this instrument is made with a suitably chamfered M8 hole

E.02.6 Bearing temperature control sensor

This is normally a PT 100 heat detector fitted in contact with the outer surface
of the bearing, which detects its temperature.
The specifications of the heat detector and the control unit for its use are listed
under point E.02.2.1.

E.03 Accessories for speed measurement and control

E.03.1 Tachogenerators

The tachogenerator produces a signal in continuous voltage proportionate with its speed. Normally it is fitted on the NDE of the
direct current motor with the interposition of a special provision and coupling (see E.03.1.1. and E.03.1.2) or directly on the
motor shaft (see E.03.1.3).

E.03.2 Pulse generators

The pulse generator (encoder) emits a series of pulses with frequency proportionate with the speed of the direct current motor
to which it is coupled. The pulse generator is usually used for extremely precise control of the speed linked with the use of
modern digital control systems.
The pulse generator is fitted on the direct current motor in the same way as the tachogenerator.
Main characteristics of the standard model are shown in table e.03.2.1.

E.04.1 Anticondensation heaters

The use of anticondensation heaters is recommended and specified for machines installed in environments with high levels of
difference in temperature, or for closed machines, where the danger of the formation of condensate water exists, that could
cause loss of insulation of the actual machines.
The heaters must be set to work only with the machine stopped, and they must be disconnected when it is started.
The NP machines frames 225-800 with air-water and air-air heat exchangers are always supplied with anticondensation
heaters.
The heater terminals are located in an auxiliary terminal box, separated from the direct current machine main terminal box.
Table e.04.1 shows the specifications of standard heaters.

Notes: a) numbers defining the type of brakes correspond to the dynamic braking torque of the brake in DaNm
b) brakes shown in above table are referred to motors with maximum performances; in case of derated motors, smaller brakes can be
assembled. Please ask SICMEMOTORI.

NIA brakes are disk brakes, with braking torque generating by springs and with
electromagnet for its release. These brakes can work in a dusty environment too, but
without oil; they have degree of protection IP60 (IP65 for the electric circuits), when the
brake is coupled to the motor. Standard brakes are for horizontal mounting only in case
of vertical mounting, it is necessary to specify that when ordering.
Table e.04.5.2 shows main electrical and mechanical characteristics of standard brakes.

D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1. TORQUE TRANSMISSION
1.a General description

During the transmission of torque between the electric machine and the coupled load the most highly stressed parts to be
checked are:

a the shaft if the load is solidly coupled (stress due to twisting torque);
b the shaft and coupling end bearing, if coupling is indirect, through pulleys and belts or corresponding systems (stress due to
radial load Fr);
c the NDE ball bearing if, due to the type of assembly (vertical axis) and/or coupling, the shaft transfers more than slight axial
loads (stress due to axial load Fa).

Case a will be examined in paragraphs 1g, case b has been examined in paragraphs B.19; case c is examined in the following
paragraphs.

1.b Shaft

As described in paragraph B.15, the shaft is normally in carbon steel.

The heavier or lighter load classification can limit transmittable nominal torque to lower ratings than those available from the
electromagnetic point of view; in this case the order should include one (or both) of the following provisions:

1 use of special steel shaft

2 a higher shaft diameter

For particularly heavy loads it is necessary to change from the keywayed shaft to a keyless cylindrical shaft on which the half
coupling should be a hot-shrink interference fit.

In this case too, it can happen that the transmittable torque is below the torque available from the electromagnetic point of view
and the order should include one of the following provisions:

1 increased length of the shaft end (passing from the short series to the long series);
2 use of special steel shaft;
3 specification of a higher diameter. Tables 1b give the standard and maximum diameters of the keywayed shaft ends of the

1.c Nominal torque

The nominal torque Tn is the torque corresponding to the nominal or data plate power rating P and to the base speed n,
remembering that P represents power yielded to the motor shaft in duty S1. Therefore, if the data plate power is for a duty other
than S1, the valid value for S1 must be obtained (in case of doubt, please ask SICMEMOTORI).
For a given P (in S1) and n, the nominal torque Tn is obtained by the following formula:

Tn = 9555,2 x P / n

Where:
Tn is expressed in Nm
P is expressed in kW
n is expressed in rpm

1.d Classification of types of load

This classification concerns the driven load coupled to the direct current machine and it is made with reference to the
transmittable torque and thus to the sizing of the motor shaft.
A partly different classification should be considered in order to assess the electromagnetic and/or thermal sizing of the direct
current machine (see section C of this general catalogue).
For the classification criteria and typical examples of driven machines, refer to table 1d, which shows the co-relation between
type of load and actuation. The definitions of the three types of loads considered for sizing the shaft are given below.

Uniform or light load

The load requires a practically constant torque over the time, with slight overloads and no mechanical shocks or fatigue
stresses. The shaft of the D.C. machine is consequently sized, with adequate safety coefficients, for mechanical loads with:
- maximum running torque < 1,6 Tn
- starting or instantaneous loads < 2 Tn
Specifications of IEC Std. 60034-1 and NEMA Std. MG 1.23.41 for general industrial use are valid. The shaft end is sized for
much higher transmittable torques.

Medium load
The load is considered as medium when it induces continual pulsing fatigue stresses and moderate shocks to the D.C.
machine shaft. The shaft of the D.C. machine is sized, with adequate safety coefficients, for mechanical loads with:
- maximum running torque < 2 Tn
- starting or instantaneous loads < 2,5 Tn
Specifications of IEC Std. 60034-1 (except the maximum torque rating) and NEMA Std. MG 1.23.41 for cold siderurgical plants
are valid. The shaft end is sized for much higher transmittable torques.

Heavy load
In that case the load induces continual fatigue stresses alternated with heavy mechanical shocks to the D.C. machine shaft. The
shaft of the D.C. machine is consequently sized, with adequate safety coefficients, for mechanical loads with:
- maximum running torque < 2 Tn
- starting or instantaneous loads < 3 Tn
Specifications of IEC Std. 60034-1 (except the maximum torque rating) and NEMA Std. MG 1.23.41 for hot siderurgical plants
are valid. The shaft end is sized for much higher transmittable torques

1.f Cylindrical keyless shaft ends

Keyless shaft ends are taken into consideration only in case of special applications, with rapid and frequent overloads,
accelerations and reversing of the direction of rotation, or in case of double or triple motors.
The half coupling must be shrunk-on, with suitable interference.
Nominal transmittable torques Tn for direct coupling, with normal shaft diameter Dn or maximum Dmax (maximum diameter
without changing the standard design). Of course by changing the standard design higher shaft end diameters and higher
transmissible torques are available) are given in table 1f (referring to keyless shafts of the short series). See 1e for the types of
steel.
For higher torques special alloy steel shafts are used; upon request special keyless shafts of the long series are specified
(please ask SICMEMOTORI).

1.g Pulley coupling Maximum admissible radial loads

The radial load Fr applied at the shaft end corresponds reasonably closely to the belt pull needed for correct torque
transmission, when the torque transmission is made through a pulley-belt system.
Admissible radial load Fr (in N) for motors with horizontal shaft and load applied at a distance X (calculated for the longest
machines and for standard DE bearings) is shown in table 1g.1.

Table 1g.3

Radial load Fr is calculated using the following formula:

6
Fr = 19,1 x P x K x 10
Dp x n

Where:
Fr = radial load on shaft in N
P = nominal power of the motor in kW
n = motor speed in rpm
Dp = pulley pitch diameter in mm
K = belt tension coefficient approximating to:
K = 1 for toothed belts
K = 2.35 for trapezoidal belts
K = 3.75 for flat normal leather belts

The point X of application of the load F r on the shaft depends on the type and number of belts used and in the case of
trapezoidal belts it can be determined making reference to table 1g.4.

D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Under all circumstances dimension X should always be:

< 50 mm for size 80

< 60 mm for size 90
< 80 mm for sizes 100-112
< 170 mm for sizes 225-250-280
< 210 mm for size 315

Please refer to SICMEMOTORI for conditions with higher X.

SICMEMOTORI is willing to verify suitability by calculations, once F r and X are known.

Example of check for radial load Fr

Supposing we need to check the radial load of a motor defined as follows:

motor type: NP 250 KS5

transmission: trapezoidal belt
power P:206 kW
speed n: 1000 rpm
number of belts: 11
type of belts: SPC
pulley diameter: 330 mm
Applying the formula and replacing the figures we have:

Fr = 19,1 x 206 x 2,35 x 1.000.000/(1000x330) = 28019 N

From table 1g.4 dimension X is 153 mm.

Knowing the radial load and the distance of application, the max. allowable load should be checked on the table 1g.1 for motor
NP 250 KS in relation to X = 153.
The pulley chosen is unsuitable because the radial load is higher.
The check should be carried out again with a higher pulley diameter to reduce the load. Supposing the use of a 410 diam.
pulley, we would obtain a load Fr of 22551N, which is below the allowable load.
The new transmission parameter is suitable. The result of this check established that with the number and section of belts
required by the customer, the pulley must have a minimum diameter of 410 mm.
If any doubts arise always please ask SICMEMOTORI.

1h Special bearings for direct coupling

When coupling between motor and load is direct (by coupling or by cardan joint), a DE ball bearing can be used instead of the
standard DE roller bearing (for frames 225-630). Table 1h shows the type of DE ball bearing are used in that case.
In case of doubt please ask SICMEMOTORI.

2. INFORMATION ON DUTY CYCLES

The correct definition of the duty cycle is essential to design electrically and mechanically the best D.C. machine to suit the load
requirements.
For that reason, the Customer must contact SICMEMOTORI any time it has difficulty in defining the right duty cycle of the D.C.
machine, and cannot relate it to one of the duty cycles defined by IEC 60034-1 Standards.
IEC Std. 60034-1 defined 10 types of duty, names with the letter S followed by a number from 1 to 10, which describe all types
of possible duties a D.C. machine can work.
For all motors with duty from S4 to S10, SICMEMOTORI has an internal quality procedure to check that all motor parameters
are suitable for the application required.
In table 2 a short description of duties as defined by IEC Std. 60034-1 is given. For more information please ask
SICMEMOTORI or consult the Standards.

 D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

4. SOME NOTES ABOUT D.C. MACHINES

Though direct current machines are subdivided into generators and motors, we are going to talk generically about D.C. motors,
as they are by far the most widely used.
A D.C. motors is an electrical machine which transforms electrical energy into mechanical rotating energy.
In the following paragraphs we are going to briefly cover some of the basic properties of this type of machine.

4.a General features

A D.C. motor basically comprises two parts:

- a static section, known as stator, which has the purpose of creating the main magnetic flux; main and auxiliary (or
commutating) poles form part of the stator;
- a rotating section, known as rotor (also called armature), cut by the magnetic field created by the stator. The rotor is
composed of the rotor pack and the commutator. Rotor pack and commutator are shrunk-on the shaft.

Mechanically, rotor and stator are held together by the end shields.

4.b Stator and stator windings structure

In all P-NP motors the stator (frame) is made by a series of iron laminations pressed and held together by suitable welded rods.
This type of construction (which distinguishes the D.C. motors with laminated frame) improves the exploitation of the space, the
dynamic response, the commutation and therefore also improving the exploitation of the motor (greater specific torque).
Main and commutating poles are made by magnetic laminations with low losses, and are fastened to the stator.
Excitation coils and, when foreseen, the slots with the compensating coils are fitted on the main poles. The excitation coils,
when crossed by the energising current (field or excitation current) create the main magnetic flux.
The compensation coils, set in special slots made expressly on the polar expansions of the main poles, are crossed by the
armature current, to reduce the effect of the armature reaction.
The auxiliary (or commutating) coils are fitted on the auxiliary (or commutating) poles. These have the task of enabling current
commutation to the brushes on the commutator.

4.c Rotor structure

The rotor is comprised of the shaft, the rotor pack and the commutator.
The rotor pack is formed by pressed magnetic laminations, held by aluminium end flanges which also have the task of
supporting the rotor end windings.
The rotor has on its external surface a series of slots which house the rotor winding. Number and shape of slots depend on the
type of winding.
The commutator is made by copper bars insulated with mica plates. Rotor winding ends are strongly welded to the commutator
bars.
The rotor pack and the commutator are shrunk-on the shaft, without using any key. This makes the motor sturdier, especially in
case of operation with sharp acceleration and deceleration or sudden speed changes, as the torque generated in the rotor pack
is transmitted to the load by the whole shaft-pack surface, and not only by the shaft key.

4.d Brushes

Carbon brushes slide on the commutator surface. Their number and size depend on the rating of the armature current, and their
function is to transmit the current which is fed by the outside supply source to the rotor winding (commutation).

4.e General operating principles and main formulas

Generally speaking, the creation of the torque available at the motor shaft is due to the combined action of two separate electric
circuits, each one generating a magnetic field, the combination of which generates the torque.
The two separate electric circuits are the following:
- the energising circuit, placed on the stator, the coils of which are crossed by the energising current I e, which originates
the main flux ; this is the excitation circuit crossed by the excitation (of field) current I e;
- the rotor circuit, the winding of which is crossed by the armature current I a.
Anybody wishing to go deeper into the knowledge about D.C. motor can consult the numerous books on this subject in
commerce.
Here we are only going to examine some of the main formulas which govern its operation and its behaviour as certain external
parameters vary.
To start with, let us define the quantities to be considered:
- armature voltage Va (V) : continuous voltage applied at the terminals of the armature winding;
- nominal speed rate n (rpm) : it is the motor speed when it is supplied with the nominal armature voltage V a and
the nominal excitation current (voltage) Ie (Ve);
- armature current Ia (A) : direct current that passes through the armature winding;
- nominal power rating P (kW) : power delivered by the motor at nominal speed, when it is supplied with nominal
voltage Ia and nominal excitation current Ie;

 D.C. MOTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

- armature resistance Ra (ohm) : electrical resistance of the armature circuit;

- efficiency
- excitation voltage Ve (V) : continuous voltage applied to the excitation winding;
- excitation resistance Re (ohm) : electrical resistance of the excitation winding;
- excitation current Ie(A) : direct current that flows through the excitation winding;
- nominal torque Tn (Nm) : torque delivered by the motor at nominal speed, when it is supplied with armature
voltage Va and nominal excitation current Ie;
- main magnetic flux (Wb) : flux created by the passage of the excitation current Ie through the excitation
winding.
The above-mentioned quantities are governed by the following main formulas:

- Pn = Va x Ia x
- Ie = Ve / Re
- Tn = K x x Ia
- Pn = (Tn x n) / K

Following comments can be made:

- Pn and Va are directly proportional;

- Pn and n are directly proportional (with constant Ie);
- Va and n are directly proportional (with constant Ie);
- Tn and Ia are directly proportional (with constant Ie);
- Tn and are directly proportional;
- Tn and n are inversely proportional in the constant power range;

Therefore, in a motor increasing or decreasing Va increase or decrease proportionally n and Pn (with constant Ie).
In the same way, Tn increases if Ia increases (with constant Ie). Tn also increases as increases (i.e., as I e increases), though Ia
is kept constant (this means a reduction of speed).

4.f Speed adjustment

From the above it may be derived that in order to change the D.C. motor speed, it is sufficient to change its armature voltage Va
(maintaining constant Ie and Ia), which is extremely easy to do with modern static power converters; this type of speed
adjustment is called at constant torque, as the flux and the currents which create the torque (Ie and I e and Ia) remain
constant, while the power increases because increasing the Va from 0 to the nominal rating increases the product Va x Ia.
But another way exists to change the speed of a D.C. motor: it is that of reducing the excitation current I e, and thus also the flux
, keeping constant the armature voltage Va and current Ia. This type of speed adjustment is called at constant power,
because Va and Ia remain unchanged and so the power also remains constant, while the torque rating is lowering (this way of
adjusting the motor speed is normally called field weakening, as it is obtained by reducing the Ie and thus the excitation flux.
The choice of one type of speed adjustment rather than the other depends on the type of application.
The above is valid in case it is possible to supply the excitation circuit from a source independent from the armature circuit one:
a motor allowing that is calling with separate excitation.
Separate excitation is by far the mostly used type of excitation in modern D.C. motors, as it gives the greater flexibility to it.

4.g Some note about D.C. generators

A D.C. motor transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Vice versa, a D.C. generator transform mechanical energy into direct electrical energy.
Its configuration, like its operation, is quite similar to that of the motor, with the difference that while in the motor I a enters into the
armature windings, in the generator Ia exits by them.
Nowadays D.C. generators are very rarely used, and their use is generally restricted to cases in which there is no ac network to
be rectified by bridges, or when an interruption of the working cycle caused by a drop in the network is absolutely to be avoided.

Notes:
The present General Description is completed by the Technical Catalogues for d.c. motors codes:

- P-NP series frames 80-200 code C-NP 80-200-E-09

- NP series frames 225-450 code C-NP225-450-E-09
- NP series frames 500-800 code C-NP500-800-E-08

It is necessary to consult all sections in order to obtain complete and correct information. Please ask these catalogues
to SICMEMOTORI or download them from SICMEMOTORI web site www.sicmemotori.com.
Customers can determine whether a specific product is suitable for their needs and are thus responsible for the selection, use
and results obtained by any product showed in this catalogue. The information contained in the present catalogue does not
guarantee the characteristics for the use.

The products listed in this catalogue are exclusively designed and built for industrial purposes.

For particular cases in NON-industrial environments, or where other types of protection must be provided (for example against
contact with children fingers, etc.), these guards or additional protections must be realized by the customer.

Any non-observance of the rules for installation, use and maintenance or any modification/tampering with the motor makes the
guarantee rights invalid and exempts us from any responsibility.

All data and indications shown in this catalogue have to be considered only as a guideline.

Any use of the motor differently from the specifications indicated in this catalogue does not involve any liability for us as
manufacturer.

SICMEMOTORI reserves the right to modify at any time and without notice the data, the technical characteristics, the
dimensions, the weights and the illustrations.

SICMEMOTORI refuses all responsibility for direct or indirect damages caused by possible errors and/or omissions in the
present catalogue.

The reproduction, even in part, of the present catalogue must be authorized in writing by SICMEMOTORI.

WARNING
The motors and the electrical devices feeding them are electrical components installed on machines and industrial
systems subject to high voltage. During operation, these components can be dangerous since they are live and have
non-insulated and rotating parts. Therefore, they can be extremely harmful to personnel and objects if the instructions
for the installation, the use and the maintenance are not respected.
The motors are always supplied complete with the installation, use and maintenance instruction manual. It is
necessary to read and understand all the information contained before proceeding to connect and to start up the
installation.
If the above mentioned documentation is lacking, please request a copy to SICMEMOTORI.
