Motor Data Table

The motor data table's purpose is to provide the capability of replacing the default Intelliquip motor data (normal NEMA and IEC motor ratings) with custom motor data which is used in determining the "Minimum recommended motor rating". Other data such as motor speeds and efficiencies can also be defined. This is accomplished by defining criteria which drives the motor data.

To populate the Motor data table:

1. In the navigational tree, open the engineering data folder for the product line to edit.

2. Click on Motor data in the navigational window.   

3. The data manager window will display the motor data table. Click here to see the table.

   

   The motor data table yellow sections is where rule criteria is populated to drive the motor information.

4. Insert the numbers of rows needed to populate motor ratings that will be defined.

5. Double click the first yellow cell to enter the rule criteria for which the motor selections will be based. This is accomplished via the compatibility rule generator.

6. If applicable, double click the yellow row to enter rule criteria that will be applied to all the column sections.

7. Enter the motor data (motor ratings, nominal speed, full load speed, etc.)

8. Click to save changes.

Example:

An organization only offers a specific set of motors for a product line which don't follow normal NEMA and IEC motor ratings. The organization had determined that the frequency, poles, and required kilowatts drive the motor ratings, speeds, and efficiencies. To have the Selector evaluate the custom motor data the motor data table must be populated.

Below shows how the motor table data would be populated:

This example demonstrates how custom motor data can be defined for a product line. For example the 3.4kW motor information will be applicable  if the condition of service requires less than 3.4 kilowatts for a 2 pole, 50 hertz application.

How pump speeds are determined by the different product line "selection criteria options" and motor data defined.

 When it's necessary to have the Selector determine pump speeds based on motor speeds instead of curve speeds, the "selection speed criteria" option selected in the General Product Line Table controls how the speeds are determined. The options include:

• Motor nominal - The Selector will use the Nominal speed [rpm] defined in the Motor Data Table.

• Motor full load speed - The Selector will use the Full load speed [rpm] defined in the Motor Data Table.

• Motor rated load speed - This tells the Selector to use the calculated motor rated load speed. For example, using the information in row 5 above: A 2 pole, 60 hz, 3600 rpm application, determined from the conditions of service that the power required is 16kW. The rated load would then be calculated from the data above as 16kW (rated power)/17kW (motor rating) = ~94%. The pump speed @94% = ~3527rpm.
