Foreword
This British Standard revises and supersedes the 1962 edition of BS 170 and
gives (optional) metric dimensions for small-power machines, corresponding
approximately to the inch dimensions given in BS 2048-1:1961. It is primarily
intended to cover light type single-phase electric motors but may also be used
for 3-phase or d.c. machines, particularly where mechanical interchangeability of
machines suitable for different supplies is of importance.
This standard forms a Part of BS 5000 that, together with BS 4999, will
eventually contain a comprehensive series of British Standards for rotating
electrical machines. A list of the contents of BS 5000 showing all the Parts
envisaged in the foreseeable future is given in the General Introduction and
Index, which will be brought up to date as new Parts are published. The contents
of BS 4999 are given in Part 0 of that standard.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
Summary of pages
This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i to iv,
pages 1 to 18, an inside back cover and a back cover.
This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had
amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the

1 Scope
--`,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Section 1 of this British Standard specifies the

performance of a.c., d.c. and universal rotating
electrical machines of any continuous rated output
up to and including 0.75 kW or kVA
per 1 000 rev/min (synchronous speed for induction
machines), and rated voltages up to 250 V d.c. or
single-phase a.c., and up to 650 V three-phase a.c. It
also applies to short-time rated machines having an
equivalent continuous rating to the above. It is
primarily intended to cover light type single-phase
electric motors but may also be used for three-phase
of d.c. machines, particularly where mechanical
interchangeability of machines suitable for different
supplies is of importance.
Section 2 specifies a range of metric dimensions
affecting interchangeability. These dimensions are
optional whereas the requirements of section 1 are
mandatory. It is therefore important when
enquiring or ordering to state whether the machine
is to comply with the dimensional requirements of
section 2 in addition to the constructional and
electrical performance requirements of section 1.
It is primarily intended to cover light type
single-phase electric motors but may also be used
for three-phase or d.c. machines, particularly where
mechanical interchangeability of machines suitable
for different supplies is of importance.
NOTE 1 It is recognized that in practice there is some overlap
between this standard and BS 5000-10 or BS 5000-99 and that
therefore certain ratings of machines may be constructed to
comply with either one or the other but not necessarily with both.

4 Ratings
4.1 General
The assignment of rating shall be made by the
manufacturer to indicate the capabilities of the
machine and marked on the rating plate 1) in
accordance with Clause 21. Since electrical
machines have a time-rate of temperature rise, and
since the rise of temperature in accordance with this
standard is limited, a qualifying term shall be
included in the rating to give an indication of the
duration for which the machine may run at the
assigned values while complying with this standard.
Where a machine is manufactured for general
purposes, it shall be capable of supplying its rating
indefinitely and the qualifying terms shall signify
this.
4.2 Classes of rating
In assigning the rating, the manufacturer shall
select one of the following rating classes:
1) Continuous rating (CR): A statement of the
load and conditions, assigned to the machines by
the manufacturer, at which the machine may be
operated for an unlimited period while complying
with the requirements of this standard.
2) Short-time rating (STR): A statement of the
load time and conditions, assigned to the machine
by the manufacturer, at which the machine may
be operated for a limited period, starting at the
ambient temperature, while complying with the
requirements of this standard. The preferred
times for short-time ratings are 5, 10, 15, 30
and 60 minutes. The value of short-time shall be
marked on the rating plate.
4.4.2 Variable-speed motors. For variable-speed

motors, definite ratings shall be assigned for the
highest and lowest speed of the range specified. If
ratings at intermediate speeds are important they
shall be specified.
4.5 Voltage ratings
4.5.1 Rated voltage. The rated voltage is the
voltage between the line terminals of the machine at
rated output.
4.5.2 Generators rated for specified operation
over a limited range of voltage. The
requirements for a.c. and d.c. generators are
described separately below.
4.5.2.1 D.C. generators. For d.c. generators rated to
run over a limited range3) of voltage the rated
output and current shall relate to the highest
voltage of the range, unless otherwise specified.
4.5.2.2 A.C. generators. For a.c. generators rated to
operate over a limited range3) of voltage the rated
output and power factor shall relate to any voltage
within the range unless otherwise specified.
4.5.3 Motors rated for specified operation over
a limited range of voltage. The requirements for
a.c. and d.c. motors are specified separately below.
4.5.3.1 D.C. motors. For d.c. motors rated to operate
over a limited range3) of voltage, the rated output
shall relate to the mean voltage of the range unless
otherwise specified.
4.5.3.2 A.C. motors. For a.c. motors rated to operate
over a limited range3) of voltage, the rated output
shall relate to the mean voltage in the range.
5 General conditions

5.3 Preferred number of phases for alternating

current machines
6 Limits of temperature rise and

methods of temperature measurement
The preferred number of phases for alternating

current machines is either one or three.
6.1 Limits of temperature rise
5.4 Machines for non-preferred voltages,

frequency and number of phases
Machines for use on systems employing voltages,
frequencies and phases other than those specified
in 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, but which comply in all other
respects with the requirements of this standard,
come within the scope of this standard.
5.5 Waveform (a.c. machines)
The voltage waveform of an a.c. generator shall be
virtually sinusoidal.
NOTE Where the waveform is of importance the deviation from
a true sine wave and the load at which this should occur should
be the subject of agreement between the manufacturer and the
purchaser.
A.C. motors shall be capable of working on a supply

having a waveform which is virtually sinusoidal.
NOTE Where the waveform is not sinusoidal (e.g. where a
motor in fed from a static inverter) the performance of the motor
should be the subject of agreement between the manufacturer
and the purchaser.
5.6 Preferred outputs

The preferred outputs in W for all types of motors
are:
2.5, 4, 6, 10, 16, 25, 40, 60, 80, 90, 100, 120, 180,
250, 370, 550, 750, 1 100. 1 500 and 2 200.
NOTE
Large outputs can be expressed in kW.
5.7 Preferred speeds

The preferred speeds are approximately 950, 1 425
and 2 850 rev/min except for universal and series
commutators and series d.c. machines.
--`,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
NOTE In the case of induction machines the preferred speeds

given above refer to machines designed to operate from a 50 Hz
a.c. supply. The speeds are intended to be approximate only and
those given on the rating plate of individual machine may differ
somewhat from those given above.
It should be noted that shaded pole motors normally run
somewhat slower than the above speeds.
To obtain the best characteristics for a.c./d.c. motors for general
purposes the full load speed should preferably be not less
than 6 000 rev/min.
The limits of temperature rise4) of machines, as

specified in Table 1 for different classes of
insulation, are based on a cooling air temperature
of 40 C at an altitude not exceeding 1 000 metres.
This condition is standard, and where other
conditions of cooling air temperature and/or altitude
apply the adjustments to the limits of temperature
rise specified in Table 1 shall be made in accordance
with 6.3 and 6.4.
The temperature rise4) of continuously rated motors
when tested at rated voltage, or at the mean of the
voltage range, under rated conditions, and in
accordance with the requirements of this standard,
shall not exceed the limits specified in Table 1 or,
where applicable, the adjusted limits.
Motors shall, however, be capable of operating
without injurious heating over a range of voltages
exceeding 6 % of either the rated voltage or the
extremes of the rated voltage range.
For machines having a short-time rating, the limits
specified in Table 1 or, where applicable, the
adjusted limits, may by agreement be increased
by 10 C. Where such an agreement is made to
increase the limits, the increased limits shall be
indicated on the rating plate.
Where the windings and the commutators (or slip
rings) to which they are connected are insulated
with different classes of insulating material, the
temperature rise associated with the lower class
shall apply to the commutator (or slip rings).
NOTE If the duty includes lengthy periods on light-load or
no-load, the advice of the manufacturer should be sought at the
time of enquiry or order. This applies particularly to
capacitor-start-and-run motors.
6.2 Methods of temperature measurement

6.2.1 Resistance method. When using the
resistance method (the preferred method of
temperature measurement for windings) the
temperature rise of the winding shall be determined
by the increase in the resistance of the winding.
Since the resistance of copper over the range of
temperature referred to in this standard varies in
direct proportion to the temperature above
minus 235 C, the hot temperature for copper
windings is obtained from the following formula:
t2 = (R2/R1) (t1 + 235) 235
4)
Temperature rise = maximum temperature recorded minus temperature of the cooling air at the time of the maximum
machine temperature.
BSI 04-2000

Not for Resale
BS 5000-11:1973
where R2 is the resistance of windings hot (7)

R1 is the resistance of windings cold (7)
t2 is the temperature of windings hot (C)
t1 is the temperature of windings cold (C)
NOTE For materials other than copper replace 235 in the above
formula by the reciprocal (to the nearest whole number) of the
temperature coefficient of resistance at 0 C for the material.
Where it is not possible for readings R2 to be taken

within 20 seconds of shut-down, then four readings
shall be taken at 15 second intervals as soon as is
practicable after shut-down of the heat run, and a
curve plotted back to zero time.
6.2.2 Thermometer method. When using the
thermometer method, the temperature shall be
measured by thermometers, suitable lagged,
applied to the hottest accessible surfaces of
stationary parts during the test period and by these
and other thermometers applied to the accessible
surfaces of rotating and other parts following the
stopping of the machines after test5).
The term thermometers means mercury or alcohol
bulb thermometers but, at the option of the
manufacturer, may also include thermocouples and
resistance thermometers when applied to surfaces
accessible to bulb thermometers.
NOTE Measurements by both the thermometer method and the
resistance method are not required to be taken and the figures of
temperature rise given in Table 1 for the thermometer method
and the resistance method should not be used as a check against
one another.
6.3 Corrections of temperature rise for

variations in cooling air temperature
NOTE This subclause applies to all machines in which no
medium other than air is used for cooling or heat removal.
6.3.2 When a machine is specified to operate with a

cooling air temperature always less than 40 C but
not less than 30 C, the permissible temperature
rise shall be increased above the value given in
Table 1 by an amount by which the specified cooling
air temperature6) is less than 40 C. The permissible
adjustment shall be taken to the nearest whole
celsius degree.
cooling air temperature exceeding 40 C but not
exceeding 100 C, the permissible temperature rise
shall be reduced below the value given in Table 1 by
an amount by which the specified cooling air
temperature exceeds 40 C. The permissible
adjustment shall be taken to the nearest whole
celsius degree.
cooling air temperature greater that 100 C, the
permissible temperature rise shall be agreed
between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
Tests of temperature rise may be carried out at any
convenient cooling air temperature. When the
temperature of the cooling air during test is lower
than the stated site cooling air temperature by 30 C
or less, no correction shall be made on account of
such difference. When the temperature of the
cooling air during test is lower than the stated site
cooling air temperature by more than 30 C, the
permissible temperature rise on test shall be the
permissible temperature rise under the specified
site conditions reduced by a percentage numerically
equal to one-fifth of the difference between the
specified temperature of the cooling air on site and
the temperature of the cooling air on test where both
temperatures are expressed in C.

cooling air temperature always less than 30 C, the
permissible temperature rise shall be increased
above the value given in Table 1 by 10 C unless
otherwise agreed.
5)
The maximum temperature may occur after the machine has stopped.
6)
On preference, such cooling air temperatures should be specified to the nearest 5 C, e.g. 35, 40, 45, etc.

For example, if the specified temperature of the

cooling air on site is 80 C, and the temperature of
the cooling air on test is 20 C, the percentage
reduction in temperature rise to take account of the
difference is:
80
20- = 12
-----------------5
The permissible temperature rise on test is

therefore:
100 12 = 88 %
of the temperature rise adjusted in accordance
with 6.3.1 to 6.3.4 as appropriate.
6.4 Correction of temperature rise for
variations in altitude
For machines specified to operate at an altitude
higher than 1 000 m but not higher than 4 000 m7),
no correction shall be made if the difference between
the altitude during test and the specified altitude in
service does not exceed 1 000 m but, if the specified
altitude exceeds the test altitude by more
than 1 000 m, the temperature rise during the
Factory Test shall be reduced from that specified
in Table 1 at the rate of 1 % for each increment
of 100 m in excess of 1 000 m difference between the
site altitude and the test altitude.
7 Momentary overloads
7.2.1 Unless otherwise agreed between the

manufacturer and the purchaser, motors rated in
accordance with this standard shall be capable of
providing to test, without injury, the excess torque
specified in Table 2, after having attained
temperature rise corresponding to their rated load.
During the tests the voltage (in the case of a.c.
motors, the frequency also) shall be maintained at
the rated value.
7.2.2 For motors of special types e.g. of speeds less
than 700 rev/min, or for frequencies outside the
range of 40 to 60 Hz, the values of the excess torque
shall be agreed between the manufacturer and the
purchaser.
NOTE For motors designed specifically for driving fan loads no
excess torque is necessary provided the loading requirements
under the worst running conditions are specified by the
purchaser to the manufacturer.
8 Commutators, brush gear and slip

rings
The machine shall work with fixed brush setting
from no load to the momentary overload specified in
clause 7 without injurious sparking or damage to
the commutator, brushes or slip rings.
Table 2 Momentary overload for motors
Type of machine
The values of momentary overload for generators

and motors specified in this clause are intended as a
check on the ability of the machine to withstand
momentary overload without injury. These values
are not intended to govern the setting of protective
devices in the control gear or other ancillary
equipment. The period of 15 seconds is merely a
convenient time for test purposes.
7.1 Momentary overload for generators
--`,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Unless otherwise agreed between the manufacturer

and the purchaser, a machine rated in accordance
with this standard shall be capable of providing on

current after having attained the temperature rise
corresponding to the machines rated load, the
voltage being maintained as near the rated value as
possible. The exact value of the voltage is not
important.

during the tests shall be a matter of special
arrangement before the order is placed.
Three categories of test are normally recognized,
and these are described in 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4.
11.2 Performance tests
--`,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Performance tests on a specific machine shall be

made at the rated voltage, or at the mean of the
voltage range and, for a.c machines, at rated
frequency. They shall include, where appropriate,
tests for temperature rise (see Clause 6) momentary
overloads (see Clause 7) high voltage
(see Clause 16) commutation (see Clause 8)
electrical input at rated load and tests for
establishing current, speed and torque
characteristics.
The results of all performance tests shall be
recorded.
11.3 Type tests
Type tests shall include all tests referred to under
performance tests. They shall be taken on a

13.5 Temperature rise test for machines

having more than one rating
16.4 High voltage tests on assembled

apparatus
If a machine has more than one rating, the

temperature rise test shall be carried out at that
rating which produces the greatest temperature
rise. In cases where this cannot be determined
beforehand the machine shall be tested separately
at each of its ratings.
A repetition of the tests in Table 3 should be avoided

if possible.
When the test is made on assembled apparatus
including a small-power electric motor which has
previously passed its high voltage test in accordance
with 16.2 and 16.3, the test voltage applied to the
motor shall be limited to 80 % of the test voltage
shown in Table 3. Before making the high voltage
test the windings shall be clean and the machine
shall be thoroughly dry.
14 Torque tests
Test for torque normally be made at the rated
voltage, or at the mean of the voltage range, with
the machine starting at the normal ambient
temperature which shall be not less than 15 C.
15 Commutation test
A commutation test shall be made at the conclusion
of the temperature rise test on the machine and the
requirements of Clause 8 shall be complied with.
16 High voltage tests

16.1 General
A high voltage test in accordance with Table 3 shall
be applied once only to each new machine in
working condition with all its parts in place8) and
shall, unless otherwise agreed, be made at the
manufacturers works, preferably at the conclusion
of the temperature rise test when this is taken.
The high voltage test in accordance with Table 3
shall be made between the windings and the frame
of the machine with the frame connected to any
windings not under test.
16.2 Performance and type tests
The prescribed test voltage shall be maintained for
one minute.
16.3 Routine test
For routine tests the duration of the test voltage
shall be not less than 5 seconds for the values
specified in Table 3, or 1 second for test voltages
of 120 % of the values specified in Table 3.
The test voltage shall be alternating, of any
frequency between 25 and 60 Hz of approximately
sinusoidal waveform.

If requested at the time of ordering, the appropriate

test certificates shall be supplied by the
manufacturer.
18 Tolerances on characteristics of
machines
Where a statement of characteristics is given, the
tolerances shall be in accordance with Table 4
unless otherwise agreed. Where a tolerance is stated
in only one direction the tolerance in the other
direction is considered unimportant.
19 Terminal and lead markings

For connections to the supply, machines shall be
provided with either terminals or leads.
The identification of terminals or leads shall be in
accordance with BS 822-6.
Where machines are provided with leads only, these
may be identified by colours in accordance with
BS 822-6 as an alternative, or in addition, to
marking. When machines are fitted with terminals,
it is recommended that the leads within the same
machine between the windings and terminals
should be identified by the same colours as for loose
ends.
20 Radio interference
When radio interference suppression is required it
should be by agreement between the manufacturer
and the purchaser and shall comply with BS 800 for
land installations and with BS 1597 for marine

Appendix A Notes on the torque characteristics and application of induction

motors
A.1 This appendix on torque characteristics is intended to serve only as a guide to generally accepted
practice in regard to small-power induction motors. These motors are generally available with torque
characteristics as shown in Table 5, expressed as percentages of full load. The figures apply to motors
designed for the preferred speed, at 50 Hz, of approximately 1 425 rev/min operating at rated voltage, or at
the mean of the voltage range.
It will be noted that in items (1), (2), (3) and (6) of Table 5 alternative torque characteristics are available.

A.2 Motor applications

A.2.1 Split-phase9). Owing to their high locked rotor current, split-phase motors are generally used for
loads of low inertia and infrequent starting. When the higher locked rotor currents can be tolerated, motors
of the higher torque rating (1) b of Table 5 can be used.
A.2.2 Capacitor start induction run9). These motors, having higher locked rotor torques and lower locked
rotor currents than split-phase motors, are generally more suitable for loads of higher inertia and more
frequent starting.
A.2.3 Capacitor start, capacitor run9). These motors have characteristics similar to those covered by A.2.2
but are more suitable for use when a greater degree of quietness or a higher efficiency and power factor are
desirable.
A.2.4 Capacitor start and run. These motors are for use where low locked rotor torques are acceptable. They
are also generally quieter than split-phase or capacitor start induction run motors.
A.2.5 Shaded pole. These motors are suitable for all applications where only a very low locked rotor torque
is required and motor efficiency is unimportant.
A.2.6 Polyphase. Polyphase motors will generally satisfy all requirements which are met by single-phase
machines of similar torque ratings.
NOTE Locked rotor, run-up and pull-out torques of motors vary approximately as the square of the voltage at the motor terminals.
Unless the wiring is adequate to carry the locked rotor current without excessive voltage drop, the torque available during starting
will be seriously reduced.
9) Unless
otherwise specified, these motors are provided with some means of switching out or modifying the auxiliary or starting
winding, e.g. centrifugal switches or electro-magnetic relays. The information required in B.1.2 7) is particularly important in
these cases.
