Product Ranges
More than a century of experience has supported the development of the range of AC Induction motors. The product ranges cover ratings from 100 kW to 20 MW, from 3.3kV up to 13.8kV for all industrial and marine applications. The rationalised but versatile ranges allow rapid adaptation to meet customers specific requirements. They include Norac/Puma series heat exchanger motors, M series TEFC and E series flame proof motors. The machines are of simple and robust construction having proven reliability and cost effective operation in a wide variety of industries and environments. In addition, The Company has gained a particular and highly regarded reputation for the design and application of low starting current motors and large 2 pole motors.

Poles
From 2 poles to in excess of 20 are available. Multi-speed designs are available using PAM (Pole Amplitude Modulated) windings or alternatively machines with separate windings for each of the speeds can be specified.

Specification
In standard form, the machines are manufactured to EN60034. Where specified, however, machines can be supplied to meet other national and international standards, as well as contractors and end users specifications such as; NEMA CSA API541 EEMUA 132 Shell DEP

Hazardous Areas
Hazardous area electrical machines are a speciality, and we have been responsible for many advances in design for use on offshore platforms and petrochemical plants. our product ranges are suitable for operating in hazardous areas in all types of Ex enclosure; Ex n EN60079-15 Ex e EN60079-7 Ex p EN60079-2 EEx d EN60079-1

All products are independently certified to European Norm and incorporate the latest ATEX requirements. Certification to IEC and other national standards also available.

Supply
The product ranges are designed for voltages from 3.3kV to 13.8kV, appropriate to the required output and are available for 50 or 60Hz supplies on fixed speed drives. Variable speed machines and drives are designed to satisfy the particular requirements of individual applications.

Starting
All motors are designed to withstand the stresses associated with direct-on-line (DOL) starting. Where appropriate other starting methods such as auto-transformer, capacitor and reactor start or AC frequency converter can be employed. As a viable alternative to the above we can offer reduced current starting designs, with extensive references down to 270% of full load current. Employment of such designs has helped eliminate the associated cost and maintenance requirements of soft starters.

Ambient Conditions
Unless otherwise stated, air cooled motors are designed for operation in a maximum air temperature of 40C and an altitude not exceeding 1000 metres. We are experienced in designing motors for operation in extreme ambient conditions from -50C to +60C.

Noise
The reduction of environmental pollution by noise has been given special attention during the development of present product ranges. Therefore the noise requirements of EN60034-9 can be met without difficulty. Further noise reduction is possible by means of various special provisions, dependent upon machine type, operating speed and the degree of attenuation required.

Transient and Surge Conditions

Stator winding insulation systems have been designed and developed to withstand both the electrical and mechanical forces generated under transient conditions. Such conditions include starting, supply system short circuits and rapid re-switching. In particular the insulation systems have been developed to endure the surge withstand levels required by EN60034-15.

Product Range - Construction

Frame and Enclosure
Ranges include fin-cooled frames manufactured from grey cast iron, spheroidal graphite iron or fabricated carbon steel. CACA and CACW box frame motors and larger motors employing unit construction on a base plate with pedestal-mounted bearings are all fabricated from carbon steel.

Stator Winding
The standard stator winding insulation is the NORFAST Vacuum Pressure Impregnation Class F system using Class H materials. The insulation system is based on mica tape and employs a split resin impregnation technique that gives a low viscosity and highly reactive system, which ensures maximum penetration with minimum drain-out characteristics. Once fully impregnated, the system provides a consolidated winding which exceeds the requirements of NEMA MG. 1-20.18 for sealed windings. Stator windings consist of coils all having the same level of turn insulation. Each coil is formed from pre-insulated rectangular copper conductor and insulated with mica tape. For higher voltages, the slot portion includes a resistive corona shield to reduce voltage stress on the edges of core laminations. An additional semi-conducting layer is applied at the slot ends for the purpose of grading surface voltage stress. Once coils are assembled into the open slots of the core, the end windings are securely blocked and braced for excellent mechanical strength against electrical starts and short circuit. The whole assembly is consolidated through impregnation under vacuum. The wound stator is finally baked at high temperature, whilst being continuously rotated on rollers to cure and fully consolidate the insulation system.

Stator Core Pack

The stator core is assembled from varnish insulated laminations produced at the same time as rotor laminations on an automated lamination precision punching and notching line, thus ensuring the best electrical and mechanical compatibility for rotor/stator packs. Lamination packs with the endplates are assembled onto a mandrel and consolidated before welding/fixing to produce a high integrity core pack.

Rotor
The rotor core pack is shrunk onto the shaft assembly while clamped under pressure to ensure maximum integrity. Cage-type rotors have copper or copper alloy bars brazed to jointless short-circuiting endrings of material appropriate to the electrical and mechanical requirements. Alternatives include various copper alloy bars, non-standard bar profiles or slip-ring rotors, which are available for individual applications.

Shafts are normally manufactured from either normalised carbon steel bar or carbon steel forgings. Various shaft ends are available including parallel shaft end with keyway, tapered shaft end or integral flange. All rotors are dynamically balanced to ISO 1940/1. All rotors have at least two-balance planes. On larger and higher speed rotors, a third balance plane may be utilised. Motors are normally fitted with shaft mounted uni-directional fans to minimise energy losses.

Bearings
Bearings are dependent on application and machine type but typically rolling element bearings are endshield mounted and grease lubricated. Some high speed arrangements may utilise a circulating oil bath arrangement. Rolling element bearings are designed to have an L10 life greater than 40,000 hours. Where required, bearings are electrically insulated to prevent damage from circulating shaft currents. Where appropriate to suit output, duty, ambient conditions or customer-requested, oil lubricated sleeve bearings may be specified either as self-contained or force lubricated. Depending on frame size, sleeve bearings may be either endshield mounted or pedestal mounted. All sleeve bearings are supplied with oil rings, sight glasses and insulation between the bearing shell and housing; the drive end bearing is supplied with a shorting strap for normal operation. On sleeve bearings for force lubrication the oil rings provide a run down facility in the event of oil supply failure. Single bearing machines with solid couplings, forged integrally with the drive shaft, are available on request. For vertical machines, there are several bearing arrangements available to suit the application. These can range from angular contact rolling element bearings, which could be either grease lubricated or oil bath lubricated, to white metal and tilting pad bearing arrangements.

Cable Terminations
Various forms of cable terminations are available including fault rated, pressure-relieved terminal boxes. A selection of available terminal boxes includes: Air insulated Phase insulated Phase segregated BEAMA/CEGB Elastomeric type bushings Terminal enclosures to house Lightning Arrestors, Surge Capacitors and Current Transformers are also available.

P-Series
An extension of Laurence Scotts long established and acclaimed NORAC range, the P-Series maintains the strengths of the NORAC and the flexibility to adapt but now incorporates fabricated steel "Box" frame construction for the smaller frame sizes. With proven reliability and cost effective operations in a wide variety of industries and environments, the P-Series continues the concept of satisfying the need of individual users with a rationalised but versatile range of machines. The range covers ratings up to 20MW for supply voltages from 3.3kV to 13.8kV at 50Hz or 60Hz. Machines with a centre height of 450 to 710mm utilise box frames of fabricated steel construction with end shield mounted bearings, while machines of centre height 900mm and above are of unit construction with pedestal mounted bearings. The rigid steel fabricated base frame has machined facings to provide seatings for the stator core pack, bearing pedestals and enclosure. The range is designed to accommodate top mounted enclosures or heat exchangers. As such, the IP code can range from IP22 for simple open ventilated motors to IP55 or IP56 with air or water cooled heat exchanger. NEMA I or NEMA II enclosures are also available. The strength and versatility of the range has allowed us to design and apply its technology in many arduous and difficult environments, including as examples the two largest off-shore induction motors currently in operation, one on a North Sea Oil Production Platform, rated at 14.5MW and the other in the Caspian area rated at 15.3MW.

2 Pole Applications
The proven design has allowed The Company to record an enviable reference list for large 2 pole motors. One of the largest 2 pole motors in operation is an 8.5MW motor driving an air blower on a North Sea platform. Our ability to supply large two pole motors has proven to be beneficial to the pumping industry whereby gearboxes for large P-Series drives can be omitted and the pump driven directly by the motor. Over the years we have supplied many 2 pole motors for pumps and compressors ranging up to 7.5MW for both 50Hz and 60Hz supply.

Low Starting Current Applications

With the flexible and effective ventilation system of this range, we have designed and manufactured some of the worlds largest motors with reduced starting current. Low starting current designs have been installed on many offshore platforms and FPSOs, where the power generation is limited and in onshore facilities fed from low capacity lines. Use of DOL low starting current designs can provide a cost-effective solution, removing the need for expensive electronic variable frequency starters or other forms of soft starters. In conjunction with the system designer and the driven equipment designer, motors with starting currents down to 270% of full load current (FLC) have been produced. These designs minimise the impact on the line during starting of the motors but have sufficient torque to accelerate the driven equipment up to full speed. Typically most applications are in the region of 300 to 350% which provides an acceptable value of pull out torque, allowing sufficient margin for the motor to ride through momentary voltage depression. Designs with starting current as low as 240% have been produced but are generally not offered due to the associated unacceptably low value of pull out torque. We have supplied nearly 350 motors with starting current of 450% FLC or less, which have been commissioned for operation around the world. The ratings range from 500kW to 15.3MW. One of the lowest starting current designs was a 10.6MW motor driving a gas compressor for a FPSO. The starting current of this motor was 270% of full load current.
