The standard ambient temperature assumed in motor ratings is

  • A.100 °C
  • B.40 °C
  • C.20 °C
  • D.0 °C

Answer: B

Correct answer: 40 °C

Standard ratings assume an ambient of 40 degrees and an altitude up to 1000 metres. A machine used in a hotter room has less temperature rise available before the insulation limit, so it must be derated or a larger frame chosen - and one used in a cooler room may carry more, though the manufacturer’s permission is needed to claim it.
