1 General

1.1 Project Description

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) owns and operates a research centre in the City of Swift

Current, Saskatchewan. The Centre is known as the Swift Current Research and Development Centre

(SCRDC) and irrigation is an integral part of the work undertaken at the facility.

The “Centre Farm” (see Figure 1) is located on the main campus of SCRDC in land locations SE, SW and

NW 29-15-13-3 and irrigation water is sourced from the Swift Current Main Canal (SCMC). The “Centre

Farm” is currently irrigated from a 30-year-old pump station, which requires replacement.

As part of this work, the Contractor shall dispose of the existing pump station and replace it with a new

pump station, including a new intake from the SCMC Canal.

Method of Measurement

Unless otherwise indicated in the Contract Documents:

Earthwork materials will be measured net in place after compaction, with no allowance for

bulking, shrinkage, compression, foundation settlement, or waste.

Products will be measured net, with no allowance for waste.

Dimensions used in calculating quantities will be rounded to the nearest unit of dimension

as follows:

Quantity Dimension

Volume of earth centimetre

Volume of concrete millimetre

Length of pipe centimetre

Area of land decimetre

The survey station system adopted will be at minimum 5 linear metres spacing, or more

frequent as determined necessary by the Owner, for measuring earthwork quantities.

Contours may be based on aerial photograph interpretation and are approximate only.

Actual ground elevations and location co-ordinates will be determined in the field during the

course of the Work for measurement purposes.

Measurement and payment will not be made for work carried out beyond measurement and

payment lines and limits specified in the Contract Documents.

When boundaries between different items of Work are not specified in the Contract

Documents, such boundaries will be established by the Owner.

Mass:

1. Mass will be measured by weigh scale or by estimated or theoretical mass taken from

reference documents, as specified.

2. Mass will be measured to 3 decimal places.

Length:

1. Length will be measured at the item centreline or mean chord.

2. Items to be measured by linear dimension will be measured parallel to the base or

foundation upon which such items are placed.

3. Items to be measured by station will be measured horizontal to the base or foundation

upon which such items are placed.

4. Centre line for pipes, ducts, culverts, and similar items will be the line equidistant

between inside faces of pipe walls.


465-1-16-C47, Rev. B

Page 13 of 88



Area:

1. For rectangular and regular shaped objects, area will be measured using mean length

and width or radius.

2. For irregular objects, area will be measured by the sum of squares, triangles, and circles,

etc., as selected by the Owner.

Volume:

1. Unless otherwise indicated, volume will be measured using mean length, width, and

height or thickness.

2. Excavation and fill volumes will be computed using the average end area method or

survey data input into EMXS, LDD or CIVIL 3D software programs.

Time:

1. Construction Equipment to be paid for on a time basis will be measured in hours of

actual working time, and necessary travelling time, when under its own power to the

nearest tenth thereof.

2. Hauling equipment to be paid for on a time basis will be measured in hours of actual

working time to the nearest tenth thereof.

Number of items will be measured on a per item basis.

Lump Sum items will not be measured for payment.

When standard manufactured items are identified by their physical characteristics, such

characteristics will be considered as nominal. Unless more stringently controlled by

specified tolerances, manufacturing tolerances established by the industry involved will be

accepted.

Measurement Computation

Formulae and computer programs used for measurement computation will be as specified

or, when not specified, as selected by the Owner.

Measurement of Work

Unless otherwise specified, the Owner will measure the Work for the purpose of determining

payment to the Contractor.

The Owner will request the Contractor to attend with the Owner in making measurements.

If the Contractor does not attend measurements made or approved by the Owner will be

considered to be the correct measurement for such part of the Work.

The Owner will prepare survey records and drawings for payment purposes as the Work

progresses. The Owner will request the Contractor to attend, within 14 days, to examine and


465-1-16-C47, Rev. B

Page 14 of 88



verify such records and drawings. If the Contractor does not attend to examine and verify

such records and drawings, they will be considered to be correct.

If, after attending the Contractor disagrees with such measurements or records or drawings,

they will nevertheless be considered correct until the Contractor notifies the Owner of the

aspects in which they are considered incorrect. On receipt of such notice, the Owner will

review the measurements or records or drawings and either confirm or vary them.

Quantities

Unless otherwise indicated, quantities specified in the Schedule of Prices for Unit Price Work

and throughout this specification are estimated quantities and will not be considered as

actual quantities of Work to be performed. Subject to the Contract terms, unit prices stated

in the Schedule of Prices will be applied to actual quantities of Work performed as measured

in accordance with the Contract Documents.

When it is stated that the Contractor will be paid only for the quantity specified for an item

of Work, such quantity will be considered as a fixed quantity and the Contractor will be paid

for the quantity specified, regardless of the actual quantity performed. If a change in the

Work directed by the Owner results in a change in a fixed quantity, the quantity will be

adjusted in accordance with the Contract Documents and payment will be made for the

adjusted quantity.

Scales

Not Used

Schedule of Prices

The Schedule of Prices is divided into items for purposes of measurement and payment of

Work. Price each item in accordance with the methods of measurement specified in the

Contract.

Item names in the Schedule of Prices identify the work covered by the respective item, but

do not define the size or nature of the unit.

Read item names in the Schedule of Prices as part of the item scope, measurement, and

Quality Control

Perform quality control tests of fill materials as specified in Section 6.2 Earthwork Materials.

Quality Assurance

The Owner may test fill materials at any time to assure suitability for the intended uses.

The Owner will perform any testing of fill material to assure conformance with the specified

requirements after the material has been placed and compacted.

The Owner may reject fill material during excavation, in the borrow areas, in the stockpiles, in

the transport vehicle, or in-place.

Preparation

Remove debris, snow, ice, water, and loose material prior to starting fill placement. Do not

place fill material when the material, the foundation, or the surface on which it would be

placed is frozen. Moisten, if required, and scarify the foundation surface to a minimum

depth of 200 mm to obtain a good bond prior to placing the first lift of fill. Scarification of

bedrock foundation surfaces is not required. Grade and compact the scarified foundation

surface to the same density specified for the overlying fill.

Protection

Suspend fill placement operations at any time when, in the opinion of the Engineer, work

cannot be performed in accordance with the specifications on account of rain, flooding, cold

weather, or other unsatisfactory conditions. Immediately prior to any suspension in fill

operations, slope the fill surface as specified and roll with rubber tire equipment or smooth

cylindrical roller so as to leave the surface area in a smooth, even condition for drainage.

Protect compacted fill and foundation surfaces that have been prepared for receiving fill

from freezing by a using a temporary layer of soil or insulating materials, or other means

authorized by the Engineer. Remove protection only when ready to place fill, and

authorization is provided by the Engineer. If deemed necessary by the Engineer, condition,

rework, and re-compact or remove and replace any portion of the fill or foundation that has

suffered a reduction in quality due to drying, frost, rain, or any other reason to the specified

requirements before placing succeeding layers. Reroute construction traffic away from or

stabilize areas to the satisfaction of the Engineer where the fill or ground surfaces begin to




465-1-16-C47, Rev. B

Page 51 of 88

rut or exhibit instability. Do not allow construction traffic, including foot traffic, to cross

unless adequate measures, acceptable to the Engineer, are in place to prevent

contamination, degradation, and over compaction of these materials.

Fill Placement

Do not place fill material on any surface until the prepared surface has been inspected by

the Engineer. Rectify any defects, including any identified by the Engineer.

Construct fill zones at the locations, and to the lines, grades, slopes, and elevations specified

in the Contract Documents, or as established by the Engineer, using fill materials that are

placed, conditioned, and compacted to the specified requirements. Overbuild final fill slopes

and then trim them to the lines, grades, slopes, and elevations specified in the Contract

Documents.

Maintain the top surface of fill zones approximately horizontal. During spreading and

compaction, provide the surface of the fill zone with a gentle transverse gradient of 3% to

5% so that water from precipitation will drain freely toward the extremities of the fill zone

but away from any filter materials.

Place and spread fill materials in continuous and approximately horizontal layers of uniform

thickness in such a manner as to prevent segregation and stratification and to obtain a

homogeneous mass. Place, spread and compact fill materials in a continuous operation to

avoid freezing of the materials before the specified compaction can be achieved.

Place and spread fill for the barrier system in a direction parallel to the barrier centreline to

minimize the potential for formation of preferential seepage paths.

Prior to or during fill placement operations, Contractor to mix or blend material as required

to obtain a consistent fill material, and to scarify, blend, condition and break up fill materials

to the full depth of the uncompacted lift.

Commence placement of fill materials at the lowest elevation of the foundation, and

progress in an upslope direction

Moisten each previously placed lift, if necessary, and work with discs to a minimum depth of

50 mm to provide a bonding surface prior to placing the overlying lift of fill material except

when, in the opinion of the Engineer, such work cannot be performed because of cold

weather.

Place fill materials in layers not exceeding a loose thickness of 200 mm

Join new fill onto all natural, excavated, or fill slopes by terracing or stepping into the slopes.

Stagger fill joints to minimize the potential for preferred seepage paths in any direction

Place fill material equally on all sides of structures and pipes to minimize unbalanced

loading.

Apply compaction effort for a minimum horizontal distance of 600 mm on each side of joints

in the fill zones.




465-1-16-C47, Rev. B

Page 52 of 88

During placement and compaction operations, direct the movement of equipment to obtain

uniform coverage. Disc and re-compact areas of non-uniformly compacted ridges or

troughs resulting from placement or spreading equipment

Unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer, maintain no more than 1000 mm maximum

difference in elevation between adjacent fill zones, and maintain the temporary slopes within

fill zones no steeper than 5H:1V.

Moisture Control

Compact each layer of fill material within the moisture content limits specified in Section

6.3.10.

Add water to the fill material when its moisture content is below that specified. Use

methods that permit water to be added in controlled amounts and which do not cause finer

materials to be washed out. Work the water into the fill material until the specified moisture

content is uniformly obtained throughout the material.

When the moisture content of the fill material exceeds the specified limits, dry the fill

material prior to compaction by spreading, discing, and harrowing the fill material until the

specified moisture content is uniformly obtained throughout the material.

Add sufficient quantities of water to sand and gravel fill materials during compaction, even

when moisture content limits have not been specified, to achieve the required densities.

Do not add water to the fill material or perform drying operations such as spreading, discing,

and harrowing when, in the opinion of the Engineer, such work cannot be performed

because of cold weather. Mixing of suitable materials having different in situ moisture

contents to obtain the required moisture content is permitted. Use discs or other methods

to obtain a consistent material with the required uniformity of moisture content.

Compaction Equipment

Use compaction equipment of the type, size, and efficiency capable of achieving the

densities specified in Section 6.3.10.

specified otherwise.

Mixing and Transporting Concrete

Mix and transport concrete in accordance with CAN/CSA-A23.1, clauses 18.3 and 18.4 unless

specified otherwise.

Use mixers capable of producing concrete that is thoroughly mixed, of a uniform mass, and of

discharging the concrete so that the uniformity requirements of CAN/CSA-A23.1, clause 18.3.5

are met. Replace any mixer that does not produce concrete of the specified uniformity.

Provide sufficient numbers of truck mixers and monitor and schedule their departure times

from the batch plant and their arrival times at the point of placement to avoid waiting periods

or delay in arrival. Provide equipment for direct communication between the Contractor’s


465-1-16-C47, Rev. B

personnel at the job site and the batching plant during concrete placement.

Concrete Temperature

The permissible concrete temperature at the point of placement is as follows:

Thickness of

Structure Section (m)

Permissible Concrete Temperature at the Point

of Placement (C)

Minimum Maximum

< 0.3 10 30

0.3 to 1 10 30

Do not use concrete that fails to meet the permissible temperatures at the point of placement.

To avoid cracking of the concrete due to sudden temperature change, do not remove weather

protection measures until the concrete has cooled to the temperature differential specified in

CAN/CSA-A23.1, Table 18.

Hot Weather Requirements

Hot weather requirements apply when the air temperature is at or above 25C, or is forecast

to rise to 25C within 24 hours of placement.

Protect formwork, reinforcement, and concrete equipment from the direct rays of the sun, or

cool by fogging and evaporation. Dampen subgrade surfaces prior to concrete placement.

Provide adequate personnel and equipment to transport, place, consolidate, and finish the

concrete at the fastest possible rate. Obtain prior authorization from the Owner for the

proposed equipment and procedures for hot weather concreting.

Provide protection from drying in accordance with CAN/CSA-A23.1, clause 21.2.2.3.

Cold Weather Requirements

Cold weather requirements apply when the air temperature is at or below 5C, or is forecast

to fall below 5C within 24 hours of placing.

When concrete is to be placed in cold weather, have all materials and equipment needed for

adequate protection and curing on hand and ready for use before concrete placement is

started. Obtain prior authorization from the Owner for the proposed enclosures, equipment,

and procedures for cold weather concreting.

Do not place concrete against any surface that has a temperature of less than 5C. Remove all

snow and ice. Preheat such surfaces for 24 hours or as required to obtain surface temperatures

of 5C minimum, whichever is longer, prior to placing concrete.

Design and construct heating and hoarding protection measures including heated enclosures,


465-1-16-C47, Rev. B

Page 74 of 88



coverings, insulation, or a suitable combination of these methods in accordance with

CAN/CSA-A23.1, clause 21.2.3.4.

Inspect heating and hoarding measures at least every 4 hours and verify that enclosures,

coverings, and insulation are in place, there is adequate heater fuel, and the specified

temperatures are being maintained.

Provide a sufficient number of adequately sized and properly vented heaters. Do not place

heaters at locations that may cause rapid drying of freshly placed concrete. Use fans to

constantly circulate warm air within the enclosure. Do not use tiger torches or other open

flame burners as heaters.

Placing of Concrete

Place concrete in accordance with CAN/CSA-A23.1, clause 19 unless specified otherwise.

Do not schedule or place concrete during periods that have a high probability of rain or snow.

Provide adequate materials on Site to protect concrete from the harmful effects of rain or

snow during placement.

Convey concrete from the point of supply to its final position as rapidly as practicable, by

methods that will prevent segregation, loss of ingredients, or damage by exposure to the

elements.

Completely discharge and place concrete within the forms no later than 90 minutes after the

cement has been mixed with the water or aggregates. Reduce the time between batching and

complete discharge to 60 minutes when the ambient air temperature exceeds 25C.

Place the concrete in a continuous operation until the unit section is completed. Use a concrete

placing rate that ensures that each layer is placed while the previous layer is soft or plastic; the

two layers become monolithic by penetration of the vibrators; and cold joints are not

produced.

Do not place concrete faster than the rate for which the forms have been designed or at which

the concrete can be properly consolidated. Regulate the deposition of concrete such that it is

properly consolidated in horizontal layers 500 mm in thickness with minimum lateral

movement.

Use placing equipment of such size, design, and condition so as to steadily supply concrete at

the point of placement. Provide equipment that has devices necessary to permit the prompt

and complete discharge of concrete without segregation and with the required slump.

Limit the unrestricted drop of concrete to less than 1500 mm. If the drop of concrete is in

excess of 1500 mm, use chutes or trunks to prevent segregation of the materials.

Maintain all placing equipment free from hardened concrete and foreign materials and clean

such equipment at frequent intervals. Do not use conveying equipment made from aluminum

alloys.


465-1-16-C47, Rev. B

Page 75 of 88



If concrete is to be placed at night, supply a lighting system that will illuminate the inside of

the forms, and provide a safe workplace.

Whenever concrete is being placed by pumping, provide a standby concrete pump unit or

other appropriate placement equipment at the Site as authorized by the Engineer.

Consolidating Concrete

Uniformly and thoroughly compact concrete as it is being placed. Use vibrators, of the proper

size, frequency and amplitude, supplemented by hand spading and tamping when required,

to secure a dense, homogeneous concrete, a good bond with the reinforcing steel and

embedded items, and a smooth formed surface free of air pockets and surface blemishes.

Do not use concrete vibrators for moving concrete laterally. Thoroughly and systematically

vibrate concrete in the previously placed layer before placing the overlying layer.

Operate vibrators in a vertical position and allow the vibrating head to penetrate the top

portion of the underlying concrete at a uniform spacing over the entire area of placement.

Maintain the distance between insertions at approximately 12 times the radius of action of the

vibrator so that the area under vibration overlaps the just-vibrated area by several centimetres.

Do not allow segregation of the ingredients or laitance to appear on the surface.

Do not allow vibrators to disturb embedded parts.

Provide spare vibrators at the point of placement to maintain production.

Construction Joints

Prepare construction joints to provide an adequate bond between successive and adjacent

lifts of concrete. Roughen the construction joint interface to an amplitude of 5 mm. Use air-

water cutting, sandblasting, high pressure water jets, or other authorized means to remove all

laitance, unsound mortar, and inferior surface concrete, and to expose clean, sound, fine

aggregate without undercutting the edges of coarse aggregate particles.

Provide a clean concrete joint that is saturated surface dry at the time new concrete is placed

on it.

Dispose of wastewater employed in cutting, washing, and rinsing of concrete surfaces such

that the wastewater does not stain, discolour, or affect exposed surfaces of the structures, or

damage the environment.

Concrete Finishing

Provide a finished surface that is smooth, uniform in texture, and free from streaks,

discoloration, or other imperfections.

Surface Irregularities:


465-1-16-C47, Rev. B

Page 76 of 88



Local surface irregularities are classified as “abrupt” or “gradual.”

Abrupt irregularities mean offsets or fins caused by displaced or misplaced form

sheeting, lining, or form sections or by defective form lumber, or improper

screeding or trowelling.

Gradual irregularities mean bulges or depressions resulting in gradual changes in

the concrete surface.

Measuring Surface Irregularities:

Measure irregularities as deviations from a surface, with a 3 m long straightedge

or shaped template authorized by the Minister. Move the position of the

straightedge about the irregularity as necessary to locate the point where the

maximum height and slope exists.

For irregularities protruding above the surface, place 1 end of the straightedge

on top of the irregularity. The height of the irregularity is determined by

measuring the existing gap that is perpendicular to the straightedge. The length

of the irregularity is determined by measuring the distance along the

straightedge from the gap to the point of contact at the top of the irregularity.

The slope of the irregularity is the ratio of the height to length.

For irregularities extending below the surface, place the straightedge across the

irregularity. The height of the irregularity is determined by measuring the gap

between the straightedge and the surface. The length of the irregularity is the

distance along the straightedge from the gap to the point of contact with the

surface. The slope of the irregularity is the ratio of the height to length.

Finishes for Formed Surfaces:

F1:

F3:

o Applies to permanently concealed formed surfaces upon or against which

fill or concrete is to be placed.

o F1 surfaces require no treatment beyond the repair of defective concrete

and dry packing of tie-rod holes. Cut back form ties to a minimum depth

of 25 mm from the concrete surface.

o Applies to permanently exposed formed surfaces and formed surfaces

exposed to water.

o Limit the height of abrupt irregularities to no more than [3 mm]. Limit the

height of gradual irregularities to no more than 6 mm and the ratio of

height to length to no steeper than [1:16].

o Immediately after removing forms, dry pack tie-rod holes and surface voids

in excess of 10 mm diameter. Cut back form ties to a minimum depth of


465-1-16-C47, Rev. B

Page 77 of 88



25 mm from the concrete surface. Repair defective and damaged areas.

Finishes for Unformed Surfaces:

U1:

U3:

o Applies to permanently concealed unformed surfaces that will be covered

by fill or concrete. It is also the first stage for a U3 finish.

o Level and screed the concrete surface to produce a uniform surface.

o Applies to permanently exposed unformed surfaces and unformed surfaces

exposed to water.

o Limit the height of abrupt irregularities to no more than [3 mm]. Limit the

height of gradual irregularities to no more than [6 mm] and the ratio of

height to length no steeper than [1:16.]

o Level and screed the concrete surface followed by floating and applying a

steel trowel finish to produce a dense uniform surface, free of blemishes,

ripples, and trowel marks to the required lines, slopes, and elevations.

Curing and Protection

Maintain all material and equipment required for curing and protection on hand at the Site

prior to placing any concrete.

Do not commence curing until after finishing.

Commence curing of exposed surfaces as soon as the concrete has hardened sufficiently to

prevent surface damage.

Continuously moist cure all concrete for a minimum duration of 7 consecutive days at an

ambient temperature maintained above 10C.

Continuously moist cure concrete by covering with absorptive mat or fabric kept wet by using

a system of perforated pipes, mechanical sprinklers, porous hoses, or by other methods that

keep all surfaces continuously wet. Initially cure formed surfaces by leaving forms in position

and keeping such forms continuously wet.

Do not use curing water that is more than 11C cooler than the concrete temperature.

Repair of Concrete

Examine all concrete surfaces and clearly mark out defective areas to be repaired. Obtain the

Engineer’s authorization of the delineated repair areas and the proposed method and

equipment to be used for the repairs prior to commencing with the work.

Completely remove all damaged, deteriorated, loosened, or unbonded concrete down to


465-1-16-C47, Rev. B

Page 78 of 88



sound concrete. Remove microfractured surfaces resulting from the initial concrete removal

process.

Sawcut the perimeter of areas requiring concrete removal and replacement perpendicular to

the surface to a minimum depth of 25 mm. Do not use any repair method that produces a

featheredge.

Prior to filling, provide a repair area that is clean and saturated surface dry except where the

repair technique requires a dry surface.

Use dry-pack mortar for filling holes left by the removal of form ties, for narrow grooves cut

for repair of cracks, and for repair of small honeycombed areas where lateral restraint can be

obtained. Pre-soak the repair area, allow the area to attain a saturated surface dry condition,

and apply a cement paste bond coat prior to filling with mortar. Dry-pack mortar is to consist

of 1 part Portland Cement to 2.5 parts sand, by mass.

Mortar filling with a polymerized mortar placed under pressure by use of a mortar gun or head

box may be used for repairing defects that are too wide for dry-pack filling, too shallow for

concrete placement, and no deeper than the far side of the reinforcement that is nearest the

surface. Treat the surface of the concrete to be repaired with a compatible acrylic bonding

agent as authorized by the Engineer prior to mortar filling.

Completely remove honeycombed areas down to sound concrete or to the required depth

behind the reinforcing steel, whichever is greater. The depth required beyond the reinforcing

steel is 1.5 times the maximum aggregate size of the replacement concrete or 25 mm,

whichever is greater. Treat the surface of the concrete to be repaired with a high percentage

solids epoxy bonding agent or acrylic bonding agent as authorized by the Engiener prior to

concrete replacement. Construct the repair area slightly proud of the general surface and then

grind it to match within the specified tolerances.

Provide replacement concrete that has the same strength and durability characteristics as the

adjacent specified concrete. Use cement that provides a finish colour that matches the

surrounding concrete surfaces in areas that are permanently exposed.

Following repairs, promptly initiate curing. Provide completed repair areas that are tightly

bonded to the underlying concrete, and are free of shrinkage cracks or hollow void areas.

Environmental Requirements

Contain all wastewater including that from washing truck mixers. Do not release any

wastewater on site.

Provide disposal bins on site for collecting waste concrete and other test materials. Empty the

bins when required by the Engineer.

Place waste rejected concrete and other waste materials in waste disposal areas on-Site

as authorized by the Engineer or off-Site waste disposal facilities.

General Information for Integral Horsepower (IHP) Motors

on Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)

vii www.usmotors.com

Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)

A VFD is a type of controller used to vary the speed of an electric motor.

The VFD takes a fixed AC voltage and frequency and allows it to be adjusted in order to get different speeds from the motor. Motor speed

can be varied by changing the frequency of the input power waveform.

The equation below shows how the frequency affects the speed of a three phase induction motor.

120* Fundamental Input Frequency

• VFD dv/dt - winding end turn differential in voltage

versus differential in time

• High temperatures or high humidity

• Grouding system

Wider speed ranges, higher voltages, higher switching frequencies, insufficient grounding and increased cable lengths all add to the severity

of the application and, therefore, the potential for premature motor

failure.

Speed =

Number of Motor Poles How does a VFD affect the motor? There are many things to consider when a motor is powered using a

How does a VFD work?

A VFD takes the fixed frequency and voltage sine wave from the power

grid or power station and puts it through a few steps in order to allow

the VFD user to vary the frequency and in turn control the motor speed. First it rectifies the AC power into DC Power. Because of this step, a

term commonly used instead of VFD is inverter. This only describes one

step of what the VFD does to the power waveform. Once rectified into

a DC voltage the drive sends the power through a set of transistors or

switches. These switches can take the DC waveform and by opening

and closing at certain speeds and durations can create an output waveform that mimics the sine wave that is required to drive a three

phase electric motor. The output wave form is known as a Pulse Width

Modulation (PWM) waveform because the waveform is created by multiple pulses of the switches at short intervals.

Figure 1 PWM Waveform

What variables should be considered when deciding whether to power a motor with a VFD?

VFD compatibility with motors is complex. As a result, many variables

must be considered when determining the suitability of a particular motor

for use with a VFD. These variables include:

• Torque requirements (Constant or Variable)

• Speed Range

• Line / System Voltage

• Cable length between the VFD and the motor

• Drive switching (carrier) frequency

• Motor construction

VFD or PWM power. When a motor is powered by a PWM waveform the motor windings very often see a large differential voltage, either from

phase to phase or turn to turn. When the voltage differential becomes

large enough it creates a reaction at the molecular level that converts available oxygen into O3. This phenomenon is called partial discharge or

corona. This reaction creates energy in the form of light and heat. This

energy has a corrosive effect on the varnish used to protect the motor

windings. PWM waveforms can also magnify shaft voltages which lead to arcing across the bearing and causing premature bearing failure.

Corrective action must be taken to mitigate these issues that arise when

using an electric motor with a VFD.

How do I protect the motor?

Nidec Motor Corporation (NMC) has developed specific motor designs

to decrease the harmful affects that a VFD can have on a motor.

NMC’s INVERTER GRADE® insulation system is the first line of defense against corona and phase to phase faults that can be common

when a motor is powered using a PWM waveform. The INVERTER

GRADE® insulation system is standard on all of NMC’s Inverter Duty products. Along with the INVERTER GRADE® insulation, thermostats

are installed as a minimum protection against over heating the motor.

Special consideration must also be given to bearings in motors powered by VFD’s. In order to create a low resistance path to ground for built

up shaft voltages a shaft grounding device can be used. On larger

horsepower motors an insulated bearing system should be used in

conjunction with the shaft grounding device when installed, to force the stray shaft voltages to ground. The bearing failures are more prominent

on motors with thrust handling bearings. NMC has created an Inverter

Duty vertical motor line that not only uses the INVERTER GRADE®

insulation system, but that also comes standard with a shaft grounding device. On motors that are 100 HP and greater the thrust bearing is also

insulated for additional protection.

What does "Inverter Duty" mean?

An Inverter Duty motor should describe a motor that helps mitigate potential failure modes of a motor that is powered by a VFD. Inverter

duty motor windings should be able to withstand the voltage spikes per

NEMA MG1 Part 31.4.4.2 and protect against overheating when the motor is run at slow speeds. On thrust handling bearings it is apparent

that the bearings require additional protection. Inverter Duty vertical

motors should have a shaft grounding device to protect the motor

bearings from fluting due to voltage discharge through the bearing. On larger motors (100HP and larger) the shaft should also be electrically

isolated from the frame in order to aid the shaft grounding ring in

discharging the shaft voltages to ground.

Motor / Inverter

Compatibility

www.usmotors.com viii

Thermal Overloads and Single Phase Motors

Motors with thermal overloads installed may not operate properly on a VFD. The current carrying thermal overload is designed for sine wave power. Operation on a VFD may cause nuisance tripping or potentially not protect the motor as would be expected on line power. Thermostats or thermistors installed in the motor and connected properly to the VFD may provide suitable thermal overload protection when operating on a VFD. (consult codes for installation requirements)

Single phase motors and other fractional horsepower ratings are not designed to be operated on a VFD. Within Nidec Motor Corporation standard products, all motors NEMA®† 48 frame (5.5” diameter) and smaller are not suitable for VFD applications. Three phase 56 and 143/145 frame applications should be noted on the catalog price page; or if in doubt ask an Nidec Motor Corporation technical representative for recommendations on compatibility with a VFD.

Slow Speed Motors

Motors with a base design of slower than six poles require special consideration regarding VFD sizing and minimizing harmonic distortion created at the motor terminals due to cable installation characteristics. Additional external PWM waveform filters and shielded motor cables designed for PWM power may be required to provide acceptable motor life. Harmonic distortion on the output waveform should be kept to a minimum level (less than 10%) mismatch impedence.

690V Applications

Motors that are rated for 690VAC and that will be powered by 690VAC PWM VFDs require the use of an external filter to limit peak voltage spikes and the use of an INVERTER GRADE® motor. Where available, an alternative to using an output filter is to upgrade to a 2300V insulation system.

Low Voltage TITAN® Motors

When using 449 frame and larger motors on PWM type VFDs consider the use of an external filter and shielded motor cables designed for PWM power to minimize harmonic distortion and peak voltages at the motor terminals. Harmonic distortion on the output waveform should be kept to a minimum level (less than 10%).

Bearing Currents Related to PWM Waveforms

Protection of the motor bearings from shaft currents caused by common mode voltages is becoming a standard feature on Inverter Duty motor products. Some installations may be prone to a voltage discharge condition through the motor bearings called Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) or fluting. Vertical HOLLOSHAFT and HOSTILE DUTY World Motor come with grounding devices installed as standard. EDM damage is related to characteristics of the PWM waveform, and the VFD programming, and installations factors.

Bearing Protection on Inverter Duty Vertical Motors All U.S. MOTORS® brand “Inverter Duty” vertical products have a shaft grounding system that allows damaging shaft currents a low resistance path to ground. Bearings on vertical motors fed by VFD power without this bearing protection are not covered under any warranty. All other bearing failure is covered per NMC’s standard warranty. An electric motor repair shop approved to service U.S. MOTORS® brand motors must verify that the cause of the bearing failure was not due to EDM damage.

Multiple Motors on a Single VFD Special considerations are required when multiple motors are powered from a single VFD unit. Most VFD manufacturers can provide guidelines for proper motor thermal considerations and starting/stopping of motors. Cable runs from the VFD and each motor can create conditions that will cause extra stress on the motor winding. Filters may be required at the motor to provide maximum motor life.

Grounding and Cable Installation Guidelines Proper output winding and grounding practices can be instrumental in minimizing motor related failures caused by PWM waveform characteristics and installation factors. VFD manufacturers typically provide detailed guidelines on the proper grounding of the motor to the VFD and output cable routing. Cabling manufacturers provide recommended cable types for PWM installations and critical information concerning output wiring impedance and capacitance to ground.

Vertical Motors on VFDs Vertical motors operated on VFD power present unique conditions that may require consideration by the user or installation engineer:

• Locked rotor and drive tripping caused by non-reversing-ratchet operation at low motor speeds. It is not recommended to operate motors at less than 1/4 of synchronous speed. If slow speeds are required contact NMC engineering.

• Unexpected / unacceptable system vibration and or noise levels caused by the torque pulsation characteristics of the PWM waveform, a system critical frequency falling inside the variable speed range of the process or the added harmonic content of the PWM waveform exciting a system component

• Application related problems related to the controlled acceleration/ deceleration and torque of the motor on VFD power and the building of system pressure/ load.

• The impact the reduction of pump speed has on the down thrust reflected to the pump motor and any minimum thrust requirements of the motor bearings

• Water hammer during shutdown damaging the non-reversing ratchet

Humidity and Non-operational Conditions

The possible build-up of condensation inside the motor due to storage in an uncontrolled environment or non-operational periods in an installation, can lead to an increased rate of premature winding or bearing failures when combined with the stresses associated with PWM waveform characteristics. Moisture and condensation in and on the motor winding over time can provide tracking paths to ground, lower the resistance of the motor winding to ground, and lower the Corona Inception Voltage (CIV) level of the winding.

Proper storage and maintenance guidelines are important to minimize the potential of premature failures. Space heaters or trickle voltage heating methods are the common methods for drying out a winding that has low resistance readings. Damage caused by these factors are not covered by the limited warranty provided for the motor unless appropriate heating methods are properly utilized during non-operational periods and prior to motor start-up.

(IHP)* Motors on Variable Frequency Drives

Warranty Guidelines

The information in the following section refers to the motor and drive application guidelines and limitations for warranty.

Hazardous Location Motors

Use of a variable frequency drive with the motors in this catalog, intended for use in hazardous locations, is only approved for Division1, Class I,

Group D hazardous location motors with a T2B temperature code, with a limitation of 2:1 constant torque or 10:1 variable torque output. No other stock hazardous location motors are inherently suitable for operation with a variable frequency drive. If other requirements are needed, including non-listed Division 2, please contact your Nidec Motor Corporation territory manager to conduct an engineering inquiry.

575 Volt Motors

575 volt motors can be applied on Inverters when output filters are used. Contact the drive manufacturer for filter selection and installation requirements.

Applying INVERTER GRADE® Insulated Motors on

Variable Frequency Drives (2, 4, 6 pole)

The products within this catalog labeled “Inverter Duty” or “Vector Duty”

are considered INVERTER GRADE® insulated motors. INVERTER GRADE® motors exceed the NEMA®† MG-1 Part 31 standard. Nidec Motor Corporation provides a three-year limited warranty on all NEMA®† frame INVERTER GRADE® insulated motors and allows long cable runs between the motor and the VFD (limited to 400 feet without output filters). Cable distance can be further limited by hot and humid environments and VFD manufacturers cable limits. These motors may be appropriate for certain severe inverter applications or when the factors relating to the end use application are undefined (such as spares).

Nidec Motor Corporation’s U.S. Motors® brand is available in the following INVERTER GRADE® insulated motors:

• Inverter Duty NEMA®† frame motors good for 20:1 Variable Torque

& 5:1 Constant Torque, including Vertical Type RUSI (10:1 V.T.)

• Inverter Duty motors rated for 20:1 Constant Torque

• ACCU-Torq® and Vector Duty Motors with full torque to 0 Speed or

5000:1

• 841 Plus® NEMA®† Frame Motors

Applying Premium Efficient motors (that do not have INVERTER GRADE® insulation) on Variable Frequency Drives (2, 4, 6 pole)

Premium efficient motors without INVERTER GRADE insulation meet

minimum NEMA®† MG-1, Section IV, Part 31.4.4.2. These motors can be used with Variable Frequency Drives (with a reduced warranty period) under the following parameters:

• On NEMA®† frame 447 and smaller motors, 20:1 speed rating on variable torque loads & 4:1 speed range on constant torque loads.

• On TITAN® 449 and larger frame motors, 10:1 speed rating on variable torque loads.

• On TITAN® frame motors, inquiry required for suitability on constant torque loads.

Cable distances are for reference only and can be further limited by hot and humid environments (refer to Table 1). Refer to specific VFD

Table 1 - Cable Distances

manufacturers cable limits. Refer to the Motor/ Inverter Compatibility page for special consideration of vertical motor bearings.

Warranty Period Clarifications and Exceptions

Standard Energy Efficient Exclusion Applying Standard & Energy Efficient Motors on Variable Frequency Drives is not recommended. VFD related failures on standard and energy efficient motors will not be covered under warranty.

Vertical Motor Windings Premium efficient vertical motors without INVERTER GRADE® insulation that are installed using the criteria described in this document and applied in the correct applications shall have a warranty while powered by a VFD for 12 months from date of installation or 18 months from date of manufacturing whichever comes first. See limited warranty page for horizontal motor warranty periods.

Bearing Exclusion for Thrust Handling Bearings Bearings used in premium efficienct vertical motors, and all thrust handling bearings, that are powered by VFDs without shaft grounding devices or insulated bearings (when required) will not be covered under any warranty for damages caused from being powered by a VFD. All other bearing failure is covered per NMC’s standard warranty. An electric motor repair shop approved to service U.S. MOTORS® brand motors must verify that the cause of the bearing failure was not due to Electrical Discharge Machining.

Medium Voltage and Slow Speed Considerations Motors that are rated above 700 VAC or that are eight pole and slower require special consideration and installation and are not covered under the warranty guidelines in this document. Motors that are rated above 700VAC have special cable length and voltage differential issues that are specific

to the VFD type and manufacture. The motor construction and cost may vary dramatically depending on the VFD topology and construction. Contact your NMC representative with VFD manufacturer name and model type for application and motor construction considerations. Motors that are designed eight pole and slower also require special installation and filters per the drive manufacturer.
