Table 21: Quick Comparison of NEMA and IEC Enclosure/Cooling Designation

II. MECHANICAL DESIGN FRAME DESIGNATION SYSTEM For footed machines, in NEMA the first 2 digits are taken and divided by 4, the resultant value indicates the height of the shaft center from the ground in inches. A historical reference on how NEMA frame size was reduced over the years can be found at page TR.52 (on ANNEXURE B). For example NEMA Frame 182; has a shaft center height of 18/4=4.5”. For foot-mounted machines, the IEC frame designation system consists of the frame number that indicates the height of the shaft center from the ground in millimeters (mm). For example IEC Frame 112S; has a shaft center height of 112mm. In the Table 20: S, M and L are variations in B (i.e. equivalent to NEMA 2F) dimension; refer to IEC 60072-1 for more details.

DRAINS AND BREATHERS Enclosed Motors (except explosion-proof)

Standard enclosed motor construction includes drain holes in the bottom of the motor. XSD Ultra ® severe-duty motors, special plugs designed to serve as both drains and breathers are inserted into the drain holes. Available as an option is a sintered-metal breather and drain which acts as a one-way vent preventing entrance of contaminants while allowing the moisture to drain out. Explosion-Proof Standard explosion-proof motors are furnished without drains or breathers. Available as an option is the UL listed Crouse-Hinds breather/drain which acts as a one-way vent, preventing the entrance of contaminants while allowing the moisture to drain out. MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS The following diagrams illustrate the various mounting possibilities for “horizontal” motors in NEMA and IEC.
