37-1) Name the two standards organizations that publish standards for electric
motors.
37-2) List the important motor electrical data you need to know when replacing
an electric motor.
Important motor electrical data includes the following:
37-3) List the important motor mechanical data you need to know when replacing
an electric motor.
Important motor mechanical data include the following:
37-4) What is the service factor of an electric motor?
37-5) What motor rotation is indicated by CCWOE?
37-6) What is the distance from the center of the shaft to the bottom of the
mounting base of an IEC 112 frame motor?
37-7) Describe the difference between the three types of starting relays: current
relays, solid-state relays, and potential relays.
37-8) Why do motors mounted on resilient rubber mounts require a ground wire
from the motor to the frame?
