Electrical insulation systems are rated by standard NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) classifications according to
maximum allowable operating temperature:
Allowable
Allowable
Temperature Rise at
Maximum Operation Temperature Rise
Temperature full load
Temperature Allowed 1.15 service factor
Tolerance Class 1.0 service factor

B 130 266 80 90
F 155 311 105 115
H 180 356 125 -
T(oF) = [T(oC)](9/5) + 32
1)
Allowable temperature rises are based upon a reference ambient temperature of 40oC. Operation temperature is reference temperature
+ allowable temperature rise + allowance for "hot spot" winding.
40 oC + 105 oC + 10 oC
= 155 oC
In general a motor should not operate with temperatures above the maximum. Each 10 oC rise above the rating may reduce the motor
lifetime by one half. It is important to be aware that insulation classes are directly related to motor life.
Temperature Tolerance Class B is the most common insulation class used on most 60 cycle US motors. Temperature Tolerance Class F
is the most common for international and 50 cycle motors.
