Standard electric motors are based on frame sizes and specifications established by the National Electrical Manufacturer Association (NEMA®*) or the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC®*). But what about those large industrial motors required for heavy duty and extreme applications? For these applications that require industrial motors with frame sizes larger than NEMA 449 or IEC 315, we must turn to Above NEMA motors.
Above NEMA Motor Basics
Above NEMA motors, sometimes also known as ANEMA motors, are large AC low, medium or high voltage motors. While NEMA & IEC regulated motors typically run through 500hp respectively, Above NEMA motors can range upwards to 10,000hp.
Since there are not predetermined frame sizes to match these motors, Above NEMA motors are not regulated in the same way that NEMA motors are. Instead, each manufacturer has their own standards and specifications that Above NEMA motors are built around.
Where Are Above NEMA Motors Used?
So where can you expect to find these biggest of the big industrial motors? Generally speaking, Above NEMA motors are found in any place with a need for additional horsepower capabilities. While this can vary as far as specific industries, we often see this type of industrial motor in refrigeration, paper or pulp mills, and mining operations.
Additional Capabilities to Consider for Above NEMA Motors
All Above NEMA motors are also available with the following capabilities, determined by environmental needs:
ODP (Open Dripproof)
WPI (Weather Protected Type I)
WPII (Weather Protected Type II)
TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled)
TEAAC (Totally Enclosed Air-to-Air Cooled)
TEWAC (Totally Enclosed Water-to-Air Cooled)
Replacing Above NEMA Motors
Above NEMA motors are typically manufactured for a specific application or to specific customer requirements as opposed to general use. However, when a failed motor needs to be replaced immediately, having a drop-in replacement available immediately or with little lead time can save thousands of dollars of unplanned downtime.
Regal Rexnord makes some of the world's leading NEMA motors and Above NEMA motors. To learn more about Regal’s Above NEMA motor capabilities, please visit Marathon Motors Endurance Series®.
