Engine installation report

Three-phase squirrel cage

1. Goals

 Apply the concepts learned in the Electromechanics Electric Motors course.

 Illustrate procedure for estimating nominal current.

 Calculate the different elements that must be taken into account for the

installation of an electric motor.

 Select the elements in the manufacturer's catalogue for the installation of an

electric motor, based on the calculations obtained.

2. Introduction

Three-phase induction motors are a type of alternating current motor, where they convert

electrical energy into mechanical energy. In the process of installing a starting circuit in three-
 4

phase motors, the characteristics of the motor plate are taken into account, and it is also carried

out in accordance with the provisions of NTC 2050 in section 430, which sets out the elements

that must be used during the process (bibliography).

The purpose of this report is to analyze the proper installation process of a three-phase

induction motor, under the mathematical models agreed upon in the Colombian technical

standard 2050. When selecting the installation elements, it is necessary to take into account

different variables such as nominal current, conductor selection, selection device, among others.

In the development of this report, we will focus on a three-phase induction motor for

refrigeration systems of air conditioning plants in naval units, since its operation is continuous

service, which is of vital importance for the work carried out by these types of motors.

Illustration 1. Three-phase motor plate

Illustration 1 is the selection of the three-phase electric motor, such plate contains the

characteristics necessary for the development of the calculations. The corresponding data for

such a plate are presented below (Table 1):

Motor plate data

Power 3 HP (2.2KW)
Speed 3450 RPM
Voltage 220-440 V
Amperage 7.95-3.97 A
FREQUENCY 60Table 1. Motor plate data

- Nominal current estimation procedure for calculations:

According to the provisions of NTC 2050 in its article 430-6ª, it is established that table
430-150 (Table 2) is used to estimate the nominal current.

Three-phase alternating current

A voltage of 220 V is taken according to the data on the plate, but such voltage is not

found exactly in table 430-150, so the values are interpolated (Table 3).

With the power supplied (3 HP) by the plate, said characteristic was located in Table 2.

From this, the motor power equivalent to 2.238 KW was obtained. Regarding the nominal

amperage, the result was 10.05 A at full load. It can be seen that the higher the voltage, the lower

the amperage will be.

In the calculations of conductors, switches, short circuit protection, the nominal current

will be used.

- Calculation of the driver for the three-phase motor:

For conductors that supply a single motor, they must have a capacity greater than or equal
to 125% (≥125%) of the motor's capacity at full load. This capacity will be taken into
account for the calculation of the conductor with a nominal amperage at full load of 10.05
A.

Conductor =Amperaje∗125 %
Equation 1. Driver

Conductor =10 , 05 A∗125 %=12 , 56 A

The conductor must support a minimum of 12.56 A, since if a lower amperage conductor
is used, it may tend to have insulation problems, overheat and melt.

Now we proceed to calculate the caliber:

To calculate the caliber, the Colombian technical standard 2050 is necessary, specifically table
B-310-3 (Table 4).

0 to 2000 V in open air.
Taken from Table B-310-3, NTC 2050

The maximum temperature from Table 4 is selected due to the high temperatures in the engine
rooms of naval units, so the copper conductor was taken at the nominal temperature of 90 °C,
which is equivalent to 32A with 12AWG gauge.

- Calculation of the disconnecting device for the three-phase motor:

Disconnecting devices for motor circuits rated 600V or less shall have a current rating of

at least 115% of the full-load current rating of the motor. According to the conditions and

exceptions of a sectioning device we can determine that none of them apply to this motor,

for the following reasons:

Dispositivo seccionador =Amperaje∗115 %

Equation 2. Disconnecting device

Dispositivo seccionador =10 , 05 A∗115 %=11,55 A

A device with a minimum rating of 11.6 A must be selected.

- Calculation of short circuit protection device:

This element is intended to protect circuit conductors, motor controllers and the motors

themselves from countercurrent due to short circuits or ground faults. For the

development of the respective calculation, the data from Table 430-152 of NTC 2050

(Table 5) are taken into account.

Thermal Relay - Thermal Relay 9-13a Description: Thermal Relay Brand CHINT

Reference NR2-25/Z 9-13 Amperage range 9

to 13 Amps.

The thermal relay is a mechanism that serves

as an element of protection of the motor

against overloads and heating. Its mission is to

disconnect the circuit when the intensity

consumed by the motor exceeds a certain

intensity time, preventing the winding from

“burning”.
