Standards for engineering drawings of motors?
(OP)
[Cross-posted from the "Electric motors & motor controls engineering" forum]
Are there any standards which apply to the information and notation contained on engineering drawings of motors (particularly brushless DC motors)? The drawings in question are for procurement control of motors designed by other companies.
ASME Y14.24 (Types and applications of engineering drawings) includes a number of mechanical and electrical special-application drawing types, such as cable assemblies, wiring diagrams, and various types of schematics, but not motors specifically. Are there any IEEE, NEMA, UL, etc. standards which discuss notation for timing diagrams, and the motor-specific wiring diagrams (e.g., "star" & "delta" configs)?

There are standard notes that are associated with each type of drawing.

If including any electrical information, I suggest you add "as defined by NEMA MG-1" or whatever standard you use to the notes.

Thanks, I think that's what we need. A poster in the electric motors forum had the same recommendation, and it's the only standard referenced in Machinery's Handbook's section on electric motors.
