DUTY CLASSES
The various operating cycles of driven machines can be classified into nine basic duties, ranging from S1 to S9 separately indicated below.
Suitable motors can be offered to match the duty cycles of the driven machines.
CLASSES OF DUTY
The following are the duty types:
S1 Continuous Operation at constant load maintained for sufficient time to allow the machine to reach thermal Pumps, Blowers, Fan
duty equilibrium. These are our standard motors. Compressors
S2 Short time Operation at constant load for a given time, less than that required to reach thermal equilibrium, Operation of gates of
duty followed by a time de-energized and at rest of sufficient duration to re-establish machine dams, siren, Capstan,
temperatures within 2K of the coolant temperature. Valve Actuators,
The recommended values for the short-time duty are 10, 30, 60 and 90 minutes. Mixers etc.
S3 Intermittent A sequence of identical duty cycles, each including a time of operation at constant load and a Valve actuators, Wire
periodic duty time de-energized and at rest. In this duty, the cycle is such that the starting current does not drawing machines
significantly affect the temperature rise. Unless otherwise specified, the duration of the cycle is
10 minutes.
The recommended values for the load factor are 15, 25, 40 and 60 percent.
These motors also come in crane duty applications and the duty cycle is designated as S3-40%,
S3-60%. The no. of starts are also less; either 45 or 60 st/hr.
S4 Intermittent A sequence of identical duty cycles each consisting of a period of starting, a period of operation Hoists, cranes, lifts
periodic duty at constant load and a rest period, the operating, rest & de-energized being too short to attain
with starting thermal equilibrium during one duty cycle.
In this duty the stopping of the motor is obtained either by natural deceleration after
disconnection of the electricity supply or by means of braking such as mechanical brake which
does not cause additional heating of the windings.
These are generally suitable for crane duty / lift duty applications.
The duty is mentioned as S4-60% CDF, 150 st/hr etc.
S5 Intermittent A sequence identical duty cycles each consisting of a period of starting, a period of operation Hoists, Cranes,
periodic duty at constant load, a period of braking and a rest period. The operating and de-energized periods Rolling Mills

and braking In this duty braking is rapid and is carried out electrically through electromagnetic DC brakes or
by injection of DC voltage in the rotor. Since the braking is done electrically, the braking losses
are also added to the starting losses, thus making this duty most stringent and heavy.
The duty is mentioned as S5-60% CDF, 300 st/hr etc.
S6 Continuous A sequence of identical duty cycles each consisting of a period of operation at constant load Conveyors, Machine

loading
The recommended values of CDF are 15, 25, 40 and 60 percent. This duty is different from S2
duty, as in S2 Duty there is a period of rest after the load operation.
Normal S1 duty motors are suitable to operate on S6 duty provided the load Inertia is maximum
equal to motor inertia.
S7 Continuous A sequence of identical duty cycles each consisting of a period of starting, a period of operation Machine Tools,
duty with at constant load & a period of electrical braking. There is no rest and de-energized period. Balancing machines,

S8 Continuous A sequence of identical duty cycles each consisting of a period of operation at constant Special applications
duty with load corresponding to a determined speed of rotation, followed immediately by a period where the motor is
periodic of operation at another load corresponding to a different speed of rotation (carried out, for required to run at
speed example, by means of change of the number of poles in the case of induction motors), the different speeds and
changes operating periods being too short to attain equilibrium during one duty cycle. There is no rest different loads
and de-energized period.
These motors are always Multi-speed Motors for e.g. 4P/2P, 8P/4P, 6P/4P etc.
Here the Speed change is done by Pole Changing method. This is achieved by connecting the
motor terminals in two different ways to achieve 2 different speeds.

DESIGNATION
A duty type is designated by means of the abbreviation given below. For the duty type S2 the abbreviation is followed an indication of the duration
of the duty. For duty type S3 and S6 the abbreviations are followed by an indication of the cyclic duration factor.
Examples: S2 60 minutes • S3 25 percent • S6 40 percent
For the duty types S4 and S5 the abbreviation are followed by the indication of the cyclic duration factor, the number of starts per hour (st/hr) and
the factor of inertia (FI)
Examples: S4-25%, 120 st/hr, load factor = 2 (load factor = load inertia/motor inertia)
For the duty type S7 the abbreviation is followed by the indication of the number of cycles per hour and the factor of inertia.
Examples: S7-500 st/hr, load factor = 2
For the duty type S8 and S9 the abbreviation is followed by the indication of the number of duty cycles per hour and the factor of inertia together
with the load. In addition, the cyclic duration factor should be indicated for each speed.

INVERTER DUTY MOTORS
Introduction:
These motors are fed with variable voltage & variable frequency from inverter supply to achieve speed variation required by the process /
application & also to gain energy savings related with speeds. Typical VFDs have a very high switching frequencies which results in generating very
high dV/dt (up to 1.2kV/µs). Such high pulses impress severe stresses on the windings. If the motors with standard insulation systems are fed from
inverters, the repeated pulses of such surge waves reduces the insulation strength & the life of the motor unpredictably.“HINDUSTAN” Inverter duty
motors are wound with special insulation system viz. dual coated class H wires, special vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI).
Unless specified, following details are assumed for motors with drives;
Rated Voltage - 415V Mechanical Dimensions:
Rated Frequency - 50Hz
Ratio V/f - 8.3
V/f - Constant for frequency in the range 0-50Hz
V - Constant for frequency > 50Hz
Separate Cooling:
When the motor is run from 5Hz to 50Hz & expected to deliver the rated
torque, the motor will draw the rated current. The heating due to the rated
current will be equal to the rated heating. At lower speeds, the cooling of
the motor is reduced significantly resulting in increased temperature rise.
To control this, inverter duty motors are fitted with separate cooling fans.
This ensures that the rated cooling is maintained even at reduced speeds.

TESTING
The standard test programmes are divided into three parts; routine tests, type tests & optional tests. The routine tests are done to every machine &
are included in the price of the machine. Type tests are performed in addition to routine tests normally to one of the machines of a series of similar
machine or by request of the customer. Optional tests are additional tests subject to mutual agreement between purchaser & manufacturer.
