3. RATING OF ELECTRICAL ROTATING MACHINES

The rating of a rotating machine implies the service conditions and loading conditions at which the
machine can operate indefinitely. In general, the rating of a machine is also associated with
warranties by the manufacturer for a certain period of time, although such warranties should be
always obtained in written form. Rotating machines are rated in terms of output capabilities, as are
most other types of rotating machines. The principal parameters used in rating a machine are listed
on the nameplate of the machine. These generally include:
1) Output (Kilovolt-amperes in a generator; horsepower in a motor).
2) Terminal voltage, line to line.
3) Frequency (in case of a.c.).
4) Speed.
5) Current.
6) Power factor (in case of a.c.).
7) Temperature rise at rated kilovolt-ampere (or horsepower) output.
8) Service conditions.
The rating of a machine on its nameplate is its continuous, or indefinite, rating. For short periods of
time, most rotating electric machines can operate at load conditions far exceeding these
continuous, or steady-state, ratings. Ratings for shorter time periods, such as 1 h down to 1 min.
