0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Interplant Standard (First Revision) prepared by the Standards Committee on
Rotating Electrical Machinery, IPSS 1:3 with the active participation of representatives of
the steel plants and other associated organizations, was adopted by the Approval
Committee on Consumable Stores and General Equipment, IPSS 1 on 13 February 1992.
0.2 Interplant Standards for steel industry primarily aim at achieving rationalization and
unification of parts and assemblies used in steel plant equipment and accessories, and
provide guidance in Indenting stores or equipment (or while placing orders for additional
requirements) by individual steel plants. For exercising effective control on inventories, it
is advisable to select a fewer number of sizes (or types) from among those mentioned in
this standard, for the purpose of company standards of individual steel plants. It is not
desirable to make deviations in technical requirements.
0.3 This Interplant Standard was first published in 1987. This revision has been carried
out to update the standard based on the requirements of the steel plants.
0.4 In this standard, frequent references have been made to the following Indian
Standards:
IS 555:1979 Specification for electric table type fans and regulators (third revision)
IS 4691:1985 Degrees of protection provided by enclosures for rotating electrical
machinery (first revision)
IS 6362:1971 Designation of methods of cooling of rotating electrical machines
IS 6680:1972 Specification for railway carriage fans
IS 8354:1977 Code of practice for packaging of electric fans
1. SCOPE
1.1 This Interplant Standard specifies the requirements of ac cabin fans suitable for
operation on 240 V single phase ac 50 Hz square or sine wave form, or 250 V dc in
conjunction with an inverter for use in operator's cabin in EOT cranes.
2. SITE CONDITIONS
2.1 The following shall constitute normal site conditions for the purpose of this
standard:
a) Ambient Temperature - The ambient temperature or the cooling medium
temperature not exceeding 50 deg C.
b) Relative Humidity - The relative humidity can be up to the maximum of 100 percent.
Maximum ambient temperature and 100 percent relative humidity may not occur
simultaneously.
c) Ambient air - This may contain fair amount of conductive dust.
d) Altitude - Not exceeding 1000 m.
3. RATING
3.1 Air Delivery - 30 m3/min.
3.2 Speed - 900 rpm.
4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
4.1 The cabin fan shall have a sweep of 400 mm and shall be of tilting type, but nonoscillating. Provision shall be made for locking it in any desired position.
4.2 The fan shall be suitable for operation on 240 V (+ 6/- 10 %) single phase, 50 Hz, ac
supply.
4.3 The fan shall conform to IS 555:1979 with regard to general and safety requirements,
air delivery, service value, test requirements etc, unless otherwise specified in this
standard.
4.4 There shall be minimum of 3 numbers of holes on the base, to accommodate bolts of
at least 9 mm diameter for mounting.
4.5 It shall be possible to mount the fan on a vertical plane or in an inverted position and
the fan shall be capable of working efficiently in any position of mounting.
A knob shall be provided at the centre of the guard for the purpose of tilting the
5.5 Base - The base shall be even and large enough so that the fan does not topple in any
position of the tilt and with the fan running.
5.6 Resilient Pad - For damping the vibration normally encountered on EOT cranes, a
resilient pad of at least 12 mm thickness shall be secured firmly to the bottom of the base
by a suitable adhesive with holes drilled to accommodate bolts of the required size.
5.7 Noise Level - When measured at a distance of one metre from the plane of the
blades along the axis, the noise level of the sound coming from the fan shall not exceed
50 dB at a reference of 20 micro-pascal.
6. MARKING
6.1 Each fan shall be provided with a name plate indelibly marked with the following
information:
a) Manufacturer's name, trade-mark (if any),
b) Type designation or serial number,
c) Rated Voltage,
d) Input in Watts,
e) Size of fan in mm,
f) Class of insulation, and
g) Details of bearing.
6.2 Earthing terminal or contact shall be indelibly marked with the symbol
7. PACKING
7.1 The assembled fan shall be packed in strong wooden case in accordance with IS
8354:1977. Paste board fillers shall be provided to prevent damage during transit.
8. SPARES
8.1 The manufacturer shall supply full information of the recommended spares.
9. TESTS
9.1 Type Tests - The following type tests shall be conducted:
a) Air delivery tests (clause 18.2 of IS 6680:1972), and
b) Temperature rise test (clause 15.3 of IS 555:1979 except that the temperature rise test
for insulated winding of the motor shall be suitable for class B insulation, the other values
remaining the same).
9.2 Routine Tests - The following routine tests shall be conducted
a) Flash test (clause 15.13 of IS 555:1979),
b) Insulation resistance test (clause 15.14 of IS 555:1979), and
Input voltage
:
From 190 V dc to 270 V dc depending on position of EOT
crane with respect to feeding point of power rails
Output voltage
Output frequency
input supply
Output wave-form :
Overload capacity :
Square wave
200 percent continuous
operation of the inverter. In other words, it shall be possible to connect the dc supply to
the inverter terminals without having to ensure correct polarity.
NOTE: It may also be noted that the inverter is to be fitted on EOT cranes subjected
to vibrations, dust and heat.
