British Standard Motors
(OP)
Hi
We have some old BRitish Standard Ac Motors and I’m looking for information to allow me to plan on changing them to IEC Motors. I asked locally for the drawings but they did not have anything on them. I would appreciate and drawings or information you can share with me to help with this. I’m thinking the mechanical aspect will be slightly different been imperial but I’m not sure how different, maybe the frame sizes are similar but any help would be appreciated
Regards
E.S.T.O

RE: British Standard Motors
I might be able to get access to the older standards in the works collection, but obviously I can't upload them - what specifically are you looking for?
RE: British Standard Motors
Thanks for the reply, these motors are probably from 1975 on. Some are the brand Nash and are unusual looking but I have not checked the dimensions. I was hoping for general drawing to cross check vs IEC but if you say they are the same then it may not be as difficult as I thought. Just one thing, I think the Nash may be Canadian or from the USA typically would they have followed the same if they were built to the BS std of the day and could you give me the BS no from that era.
Thanks

RE: British Standard Motors
Our plant is full of motors from that era and they're all metric frames apart from the occasional oddity from across the pond. The latter are a pain in the arse because it's
impossiblerather difficult to buy a replacement NEMA type with ATEX certification, unless it's a GE motor in which case it is literally impossible to buy one.RE: British Standard Motors

RE: British Standard Motors
I'll see what drawings I have at work and upload them.
