than 230 V or 380 V, the locked-rotor current shall be inversely proportional to the voltages. (For example, for a 460 V
motor, the maximum locked-rotor current at a given horsepower rating is half the maximum value at 230 V.)

Examination Standard for Electric Fire Pump Motors

4.6. CYCLE TESTING


4.6.1. One sample of the motor is to be started at no load. The loading device is to then be adjusted so that the motor operates at
rated voltage, frequency, and horsepower, including the service factor, for 5 minutes. After five minutes, the load is to be
reduced to no load, the sample is to be disconnected from the power source and is to coast to a complete stop.
Immediately after a complete stop is attained, the sample is to be started again. A total of twelve cycles of starting and
stopping the motor are to be performed with 5 minute cool-down periods between each cycle.
4.6.2. When the characteristics of the intended pump are known and quantified and when agreeable to those concerned the total
number of cycles shall be reduced by "modeling". The modeling method shall create the same level of heat that is
generated in the field when the motor is connected to the pump. The modeling is to use the inertias and load levels and
acceleration and deceleration times that would be experienced by the motor when coupled to the intended pump. When
using inertias, consideration is to be given to the motor-pump inertia versus the motor-test load (Dynamometer, for
example) inertia.
4.6.3. Throughout these test cycles, the machine under test must produce the rated speed and power without exceeding the
maximum allowed winding temperatures as stated in Table 4.3

4.7. ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING


4.7.1. To protect against water ingress, electric motors for fire pump service require minimum rating equivalent to a NEMA open
drip-proof type, Type 2, or have a minimum IEC rating of IP22.
4.7.2. One sample of a fire pump motor is to be subjected to the test requirements of NEMA 250, meeting those requirements for
a rating of NEMA Type 2 or greater, or to the test requirements of IEC 60529, meeting those requirements for a rating of IP22
or greater.
4.7.3. Alternatively, the manufacturer may supply evidence of NEMA 250 or IEC 60529 ingress protection testing from an
accredited laboratory.

4.8. DIELECTRIC TESTING


4.8.1. A sample of the electric motor for fire pump service shall withstand, without electrical breakdown, the application of an AC
voltage at a frequency of 40 – 70 hertz or a DC voltage at a magnitude and duration as described in section 4.8.2, between
the primary winding and accessible dead metal parts that are capable of becoming energized.
4.8.2. The test voltage is to be obtained from a continuously adjustable source. Starting at zero, the applied voltage is to be
gradually increased to 1000 V + Vrating when using an AC test source, or 1400 + 2.8Vrating when using a DC source, where
Vrating is the electric motor voltage rating in volts.
4.8.3. The maximum test voltage is to be applied for 60 seconds.
