Motor Winding Temperature
In case of LBP refrigerant system
The motor winding temperature should not exceed 120 ℃ (248 ℉ ) in the continuous operation and 130 ℃
(266 ℉ ) in the Pull-Down operation at the expected ambient temperature(43 ℃ )
In case of HBP refrigerant system
The motor winding temperature should not exceed 120 ℃ (248 ℉ ) in the continuous operation and
130 ℃ (266 ℉ ) in the Pull-Down operation at the expected ambient temperature(26.7 ℃ , 81 ℉ )
The limit motor winding temperature should not exceed 130 ℃ (266 ℉ ) at the expected maximum ambient
temperature(32.2 ℃ , 90 ℉ ).
If the temperature exceeds, the motor is overloaded, then it shortens the motor life. The winding
temperature of the motor can be calculated by below equation.
