Centrifugal Pump Driver Specifications

The document discusses requirements for electric motor drivers, couplings and guards, and base plates for centrifugal pumps used in oilfield service. It specifies that electric motors shall have a maximum continuous rating not lower than 125% of the rated pump power or the maximum power indicated on the pump data sheet. It also notes that coupling guards must be non-sparking and open at the bottom to allow manual shaft rotation, and that base plates must be of a continuous self-supporting type constructed with channel side and cross-member supports.

5) Addition
The words “when specified” stand deleted.
Casting Repair procedures shall be submitted for approval prior to any repair.
5.11 (3.1) Drivers
(3.1.4) Modification
Electric motor drivers shall have a maximum continuous rating (MCR) (i.e.
service factor equal to 1) nor lower than the following:

Motor Name Plate Rating Motor MCR (% of Pump Rated BKW)


Up to 22 kW :To suit maximum BKW indicated on pump
data sheet or 125% of rated pump BKW,
whichever is higher.
The electric motor shall be suitable for the electrical area classification
specified on the data sheet.
Note:
1. Over and above the requirements specified in Table 3.1 and the above
modifications, the motor nameplate rating for pumps under parallel
operation shall not be less than the max BKW indicated on pump data
sheet (Power at End of the curve for the rated impeller) and the pump
motors shall be suitable for start-up under open discharge valve
condition.
2. The motor nameplate rating for applications where the specific gravity
of pumped fluid is less than 1.0 shall either be 100% of the BKW of
pump at minimum continuous stable flow with clean cold water of sp.
gravity 1.0 or shall have the specified margin as per this clause,
whichever is greater.
(3.1.8) Amendment
The use of hollow shaft motors is not acceptable.
5.12 (3.2) Couplings and Guards
(3.2.2) Addition
The coupling service factor shall not be less than 1.5 over the driver rating.
(3.2.12) Addition
Coupling guard shall be non-sparking and shall be open at the bottom to
permit manual shaft rotation. The guard shall be sufficiently rigid to withstand
deflections as a result of bodily contact of nominally 100 kgs
5.13 (3.3) Base plates
(3.3.1) Addition
Base plates shall be suitable for oilfield installation as follows:-
a. The baseplate shall be of a continuous self-supporting type,
constructed with channel side and cross-member supports.
