3. General
3.1. Documentation
A specification suitable for enquiry or purchasing can be derived from this section of the GIS by
retaining the technical body unaltered but omitting the data page and all commentary.
This section of the GIS shall be read in conjunction with an enquiry or purchase order and all
data sheets associated therewith.
The purchaser and vendor shall both complete the data sheets.
3.2. Exceptions
Tenders for the supply of equipment against this section of the GIS shall either include an
unqualified affirmation regarding compliance with this section of the GIS or a complete list of
exceptions.
Page 6 of 16
A vendor may offer other suitable proposals where price or technical advantage may accrue, but
such proposals shall form a supplement to the main tender.
3.3. Conflicts
If any of the reference documents conflict and the provisions of this GIS do not establish
definition, then the vendor shall highlight this, and shall state the basis of design used.
3.4. Quality assurance
Verification of the vendor's quality system is normally part of the pre-qualification
procedure, and is therefore not specified in the core text of this section of the GIS. If
this is not the case, clauses should be inserted to require the vendor to operate and
be prepared to demonstrate the quality system to the purchaser. The quality system
should ensure that the technical and QA requirements specified in the enquiry and
purchase documents are applied to all materials, equipment and services provided
by sub-contractors and to any free issue materials.
4. Standard design requirements
4.1. General
Motors shall comply with relevant parts of IEC 60034.
Any requirement to meet other national interpretations of IEC 60034, with or
without CENELEC Harmonisation Document requirements, must be identified and
agreed in writing between the purchaser and the vendor. This procedure is intended
to be the means by which particular local needs can be met whilst at the same time
properly documenting deviations from the normal BP requirements.
The following requirements are considered to be normal unless site specific conditions call for
other, more stringent, requirements that shall be specified on the data sheet:
Motors shall be capable of providing the momentary excess torque as specified in IEC 60034-1.
Synchronous machines are not suitable for reconnecting to a supply just after being
switched off or if synchronism is lost. To avoid this condition suitable controls and
protection should be provided. This could be provided as part of the switchgear
supply where generator protection is included in that package but it is not
uncommon for this to form part of a generator control package where that package
includes the generator protection.
The motor torque characteristics during run up shall be adequate for starting the driven load
under the applied voltage, and load torque and inertia conditions specified.
The motor shall be suitable for a maximum of 1000 starts per year.
The motor shall be capable of the following starting performance with the conditions specified:
Two starts in succession, coasting to rest between starts, with the motor initially at ambient
temperature
One start with the motor initially at its rated load operating temperature
The manufacturer shall assign safe stalled times for cold and hot conditions. These
are the times that the motor may remain stalled without damage.
The cooling arrangement shall be IC511 for air-cooled machines and IC71W for water-cooled
machines. Cooling arrangement shall be in accordance with IEC 60034-6.
Cooling water for water-cooled motors shall normally have a maximum temperature
of 25
C unless higher temperatures are specified in the data sheet. Cooler materials
shall ultimately be matched to the cooling water analysis (furnished to the successful
Page 7 of 16
bidder) and the proposed materials shall be identified. Provision should be made
within the motor to prevent leakage of cooling water on to the windings or rotating
parts of the motor. Air-cooled motors shall not draw their air from the drive end of
the machine and should be designed for the maximum average ambient temperature
specified in the data sheet. If electrically operated fans are employed these shall
have full redundancy and bidders shall clearly state the output achievable with a
single fan operating.
All motors for use in hazardous areas shall comply with the relevant parts of IEC 60079 or
alternatively the relevant parts of the CENELEC 500XX series of documents or national
variants.
Motors for use in hazardous areas in the European Economic Area must comply
with the relevant EN 500XX series CENELEC standards or national variants and
these should be referenced in place of the IEC 60079 series for the relevant
protection concepts.
Horizontally mounted machines shall be IM 1001 and vertical flange mounted machines shall
be IM 3011 in accordance with Code II of IEC 60034-7.
Component parts of the motor shall be bonded together and to the earth terminal in
order to prevent arcing and sparking in service.
All components of the excitation circuit shall be sized to continuously satisfy the
maximum flux demand of the synchronous motor.
4.2. Certification for use in hazardous areas
Motors for use in Zone 1 or Zone 2 Hazardous Areas shall have certification from a recognised
National Certifying Authority.
The manufacturer shall submit copies of the relevant certification documents with the tender.
5. Special design requirements
5.1. Duty and rating
Motors shall have a continuous running duty designated as type S1 in accordance with
paragraph 4.2.1 of IEC 60034-1.
Motors shall be capable of meeting their specified duty for 26,000 hours (3 years) without being
stopped for maintenance purposes.
5.2. Construction
The motor frame and enclosure shall be of welded steel plate and sheet to form a rigid, self-
supporting and torsion-resistant assembly that can be shipped in one piece. The base structure
shall have adequate facilities for lifting, levelling, aligning and anchoring the entire motor.
The preferred configuration of the motor and brushless exciter shall be of horizontal
construction with two or three pedestal-type sleeve bearings on a common base plate, allowing
the separate removal of the main motor and exciter.
5.3. Environmental protection
The degree of ingress protection shall be in accordance with IEC 60529 and suitable for the
application and installation site. Where no data is available to indicate a more stringent
specification and where an outdoor installation is involved, the protection shall be IP55.
The degree of ingress protection required (IP55) is entirely suitable for situations
where machines are not subject to excessive dust settlement or immersion in water.
Page 8 of 16
If any doubt exists then the particular conditions pertaining should be evaluated and
a special enclosure agreed between purchaser and vendor. Where the machine will
be installed inside an enclosure a rating of IP20 may be contemplated. However
where the enclosure is large and there could be moisture or dust/debris above the
machine the minimum protection to be specified should be IP23
Machines shall be suitable for a Relative Humidity of 90% with occasional condensation.
Vertically mounted motors having a single shaft extension at the bottom shall be protected with
a rain cowl (IPX2) supplied by the manufacturer.
Anti-condensation heaters shall not be provided unless specified on the data sheet. If heaters are
provided, they shall be easily accessible without requiring dismantling of the motor.
The purpose of an anti-condensation heater is to preclude the possibility that the
specified insulation level of the machine is seriously reduced by the entry of water or
water vapour into the machine. Modern non-hygroscopic insulation materials
largely obviate the possibility of this occurring and manufacturers generally take
good care to ensure that all conducting items are insulated to a high standard.
In order to prevent the ingress of water or other harmful matter prior to cabling, open cable
entries shall be adequately sealed (IP55) before the motor is despatched from the manufacturer's
works.
Where a drain hole is provided, it shall be at the lowest point on the stator, subject to
accessibility for the removal of the threaded plug when the machine is mounted in the service
position. In the case of motors for use in hazardous areas, the drain hole shall be sealed with a
draining device approved by the Certifying Authority.
Care must be exercised to ensure that the means of removing and replacing drain
plugs are not impeded by the position in which the motor is mounted. This is not
always the responsibility of the motor manufacturer but often the responsibility of a
'package' (e.g. pump set) vendor who provides the mounting (e.g. bedplate) for the
motor.
5.4. Windings and cable terminations
Stator and rotor windings of the motor and exciter shall generally be constructed using Class F
insulation materials. During normal service, the temperature rise values of Class B materials
shall not be exceeded.
The temperature rises shall be limited to Class B unless the manufacturer offers
Class H insulation of proven design in which case the temperature rise to Class F
shall be considered.
The required rating of a motor for a particular piece of driven equipment is usually
defined by the supplier of the driven equipment, after taking into account any BP
requirements. This rating takes account of any design uncertainty and
manufacturing tolerances that may arise and therefore the motor should be suitable
for all eventualities that may arise. Traditionally, industry has also 'built-in' a
further safety margin for the motor by specifying Class B temperature rises (80C)
whilst employing Class F insulation materials (105C rise), both pertaining to
operation in a 40C ambient air temperature or with 25C cooling water. If
operating conditions are such that the machine is unlikely to be overloaded and if
the ambient conditions are well removed from standard then consideration should
be given to specifying Class F rises for Class F materials, especially when large
machines are involved and significant weight or cost savings can be obtained. A
similar argument may be used with regard to Class H materials.
Page 9 of 16
The insulation system provided must generally be suitable for unrestricted service under the
environmental and service conditions listed in this specification for a minimum service life of
20 years.
Mechanical and thermal stresses on the windings encountered during normal and
fault conditions shall not lead to fracture, deformation or loosening of the windings.
For this reason, vacuum-pressure impregnated (VPI) insulation systems using
solvent-free (temperature cured) epoxy resins and submersion of the entire stator
assembly is preferred. Field repairs to these insulation systems must be possible.
At least 2 winding temperature detectors shall be provided per phase.
RTDs should be embedded in the slot portion of the stator windings between coil
sides. Additionally thermocouples can be fitted in the end winding portion of the
stator winding.
Windings shall be supported to ensure sufficient rigidity during normal conditions including
direct on line starting.
Insulated windings shall be non-hygroscopic and resistant to contamination and flame
propagation.
Stator windings shall be connected in star unless shown otherwise on the data sheet. Star points
shall be formed internally but shall be disconnectable and accessible for measurements.
The insulation level of machines that are required to operate on unearthed or on resistor earthed
neutral systems with one line at earth potential for prolonged periods shall be highlighted by the
manufacturer for specific approval be the purchaser.
Details shall be provided of the Quality Assurance Specification that stator coils shall be
manufactured and tested in accordance with section 7.2.
Such a specification should be the method by which the insulation system is
qualified. It should contain details of type tests and routine tests, and should
demonstrate coil dielectric loss analysis and surge withstand capability.
IEC 60034-15 contains details on impulse voltage withstand levels. A suitable
Quality Assurance Specification is Electricity Association Technical Specification
44-5, Testing the insulation system of stator coils for rotating electrical machines.
Conductors shall not be random but shall be layered or sectionalised (form wound) to ensure
that the maximum design interturn voltage cannot be exceeded.
The insulation system and the rotating diodes of the exciter/field circuit and the associated
protective components shall be dimensioned such that a failure due to overload or loss of
blocking/insulation capability is remote. The loss of a diode shall be detected by the monitoring
system.
Motor terminations shall preferably be of the separable insulated connector type in an enclosure
with ingress protection IP21 minimum for mechanical protection, and an adequate method of
supporting the cables. Alternatively, terminal boxes shall be of the pattern specified on the data
sheet.
The main terminal boxes of the motor shall be sealed towards the motor interior and shall have
ample room to terminate the feeder cables. Terminal boxes shall have rupture-diaphragms or
equivalent means for the safe relief of ionised gases towards the motor enclosure in case of a
terminal short-circuit.
The exciter shall have its own terminal box with provision for terminating the low-voltage
supply cables.
Motors, including the terminal box, windings and cable terminations, shall be entirely suitable
for operation at the fault level specified in the data sheet when started and protected by the
means also specified in the data sheet.
Page 10 of 16
Means shall be available for electrically isolating individual stator windings from each other and
from the main incoming cables without involving extensive dismantling of the machine or
risking damage to either the windings or the cables.
Space shall be provided for the installation, at the manufacturers works, of current transformers
to be supplied by the purchaser.
Heater or other auxiliary connections shall be clearly identified and brought out to a dedicated
terminal box separate from the main terminal box. Exposed auxiliary wiring on the motor shall
be run in galvanised conduit, or with cables in such a way that they cannot be damaged
accidentally.
When a threaded entry is required for an auxiliary cable, as identified on the data sheet, a
detachable plate or box incorporating a threaded entry shall be supplied. The minimum
thickness of the material used for this purpose shall be 8 mm.
Threaded entries shall be tapped ISO metric, with a constant pitch of 1.5 mm and to medium
fit tolerance Class 6H. The size of thread required shall be as specified on the data sheet.
5.5. Bearings and lubrication
5.5.1. General
All motors shall be capable of operating continuously when uncoupled from the driven
equipment.
It is a common practice during commissioning and also during operational 'trouble
shooting' to run motors disconnected from the driven machinery. All motors
operated by BP should incorporate this facility and no special arrangements should
be necessary in order to accomplish this.
Sleeve bearings fitted to machines rated 2000 kW and above shall be equipped with resistance
temperature detectors.
It is common practice to provide temperature-sensing systems for complete drive
'packages' (i.e. driver and driven machinery). The provision of the overall system
may not be by the motor vendor but he should provide the facilities for
accommodating such a system. Provision of a complete temperature monitoring and
protection system is outside the scope of this GIS but may be the subject of a related
GIS.
Vertical motor thrust bearings shall be equipped with resistance temperature detectors.
5.5.2. Rolling element bearings
Rolling element bearings are preferred if an acceptable bearing life can be achieved. The life of
rolling element bearings calculated in accordance with ISO 281 shall be in excess of
40000 hours when considering the forces generated by the motor alone, and in excess of
32000 hours when considering the additional forces generated by the driven equipment.
Rolling element bearings shall be in metric sizes and comply with ISO 492 recommended
dimensions.
It shall be possible to relubricate rolling element bearings safely without stopping or
dismantling the motor. The relubrication interval shall be specified by the vendor.
Relubrication intervals should not incur an unreasonable maintenance burden. A
minimum of 4000 hours for horizontal or 3000 hours for vertical motors is
reasonable.
Grease lubricated bearing regreasing facilities shall be arranged such that a maximum amount of
old grease is displaced and ejected to the outside of the motor enclosure. The bearing shall be
packed with grease before the motor is despatched.
Page 11 of 16
5.5.3. Sleeve bearings
Motors with sleeve bearings shall be provided with means to measure the air gap between stator
and rotor at both ends, or any alternative means to ensure concentricity between stator and rotor.
Motors with sleeve bearings shall be constructed to ensure an adequate supply of oil to all parts
of the bearing surface under all conditions including rundown. This may be achieved with oil
rings, discs or similar devices. Means shall be provided to prevent the escape of oil and oil level
indicators shall be fitted.
When a pressure fed or oil mist lubrication system is proposed by either the purchaser or
vendor, full details shall be made available for consideration and acceptability.
Motors without thrust or location bearings shall be defined as such and shown on the vendors
documentation. The amount of permissible end float shall be stated to allow selection of a
suitable coupling. The correct running position and limits of permissible movement of the rotor
shall be permanently marked on the motor, and these markings shall be visible at all times. The
motor rating plate shall be marked Limited End Float.
All bearings shall be fully insulated to prevent the flow of shaft current unless type tests
demonstrate that the shaft voltage measured at any operating conditions across the ends of the
shaft is less than 150 mV rms. An earth connection, removable for test purposes shall be
provided at the drive end bearing and no other connection shall bridge the insulation.
5.6. Critical speeds
The manufacturer shall state the design value of the first critical speed on the data sheet.
The critical speeds of the rotor shall not be within 20% of the normal operating speed, twice
normal operating speed, and any other significant exciting frequencies.
Due to manufacturing tolerances there can be significant differences between the
predicted and actual values of critical speed. The 20% tolerance on the design
figure is used to provide an adequate safety margin.
Critical speeds that lie below the operating speed shall be determined by run up and coast down
of the machine during works test.
For all flexible rotor machines a rotor dynamic analysis shall be undertaken by the manufacturer
and the results submitted to the purchaser. The analysis shall include evaluation of the damped
critical speeds allowing for bearing oil film together with housing, end shield and bedplate
stiffness effects.
5.7. Vibration
Two-pole motors rated 1500 kW and above shall be fitted with dual non-contacting vibration
probes at each bearing in accordance with API 670.
In a manner similar to temperature monitoring either a complete ' package'
vibration monitoring system may be required or a motor system alone may be
required and will be separately specified. In either event motors shall be capable of
accepting the necessary probes, either at the time of supply or later.
Four-pole motors rated 3000 kW and above shall be fitted with vibration monitoring devices at
each bearing. Non-contacting vibration probes, in accordance with API 670, or accelerometers
(rms velocity reading), in accordance with API 670, are acceptable.
The limits of bearing housing vibration for motors not fitted with non contact vibration
monitoring equipment shall meet the requirements of IEC 60034-14, Table 1, Vibration
grade R.
The vibration amplitude of motors fitted with non contact vibration monitoring equipment shall
meet the requirements of IEC 60034-14, Table 2, Vibration grade R.
Page 12 of 16
If vibration probes are fitted to the motor and if the complete vibration monitoring
system can be made available at the manufacturers works during works test then
these shall be employed for vibration testing. It is not necessary that the motor
manufacturer purchase the vibration monitoring system, it is acceptable that it be
borrowed from others (e.g. the 'package' vendor).
The vibration levels for machines fitted with flexible rotors when passing through the first
critical speed shall be within the following limits:
a. Motors fitted with sleeve bearings shall have peak to peak amplitude less than 75% of the
nominal bearing clearance.
b. Motors fitted with rolling element bearings shall operate at less than three times the limits
given in IEC 60034-14, Table 1, Vibration grade R.
5.8. Plant identification
In addition to the motor rating plate, a separate motor plant equipment identification plate shall
be attached to a non-removable part of the frame in a readily visible position. The plate shall be
fabricated from stainless steel and the means by which it is attached to the frame shall allow for
the plate to be removed and replaced by a similar plate.
The identification plate shall be engraved with the Plant Tag Number and the Works
Identification Number (WIN) if made known to the manufacturer before despatch.
5.9. Mechanical handling
Facilities shall be provided for the application of jacking screws in all three planes, and their
location shall be identified on the motor general arrangement drawing.
Where it is intended to use spreader bars for lifting all or part of the machine, or where other
special handling precautions are necessary, these requirements shall be identified on a suitable
plate attached to the external surface of the motor.
5.10. Painting
Details of the manufacturers standard paint (or other type of finish) specification shall be
submitted to the purchaser at the time of tender.
6. Noise
6.1. Noise emission
The manufacturer shall provide details of the noise emission from his equipment in octave
bands. He shall also provide details of any narrow band noise emitted by his equipment that is
noticeable to the ear, together with the octave band or bands in which it occurs.
6.2. Noise reduction
Where the noise-limiting requirements of this document cannot be met without the provision of
noise-reducing features, the levels with and without these features shall be stated in any
proposal.

Page 13 of 16
7. Tests
7.1. Standard tests
The following tests shall be undertaken irrespective of motor rating: -
(a) 'Complete' tests in accordance with the list in Table 1 for the first motor of each new
design. The manufacturer may substitute validated test certificates in-lieu of carrying out the
tests marked with an asterisk (*).
(b) 'Abbreviated' tests in accordance with the list in Table 2 on all motors not subject to
'complete' tests.
(c) For motors with flexible rotors any critical speed which lies below the operating speed
range of the motor shall be determined by means of a run up and coast down test.
The tests included in the following tables are required to be carried out on all high
voltage motors, although it is appreciated that, on occasion, manufacturers may
have good reason for not being able to meet all requirements. In such a case the
purchaser must be assured that adequate testing will be arranged so that the
capability of a motor to meet the specified duty will be properly demonstrated.
