SGA & HGA Series motors

Standard (SGA) & MEPS2-compliant (HGA) range of motors, three phase squirrel cage TEFC with IEC frame sizes from 71 to 355. They combine high efficiency and excellent electrical characteristics with the robust strength of cast iron.

The standard design includes single speed 2, 4, 6 and 8 pole as well as a comprehensive selection of 2 speed motors.

HGA Series (MEPS2)
MEPS2 Compliant

Building on the proven performance of the popular SGA series, CMG has developed the HGA series to meet the demands of more efficient motors.

Incorporating all of the mechanical features of the SGA series, the HGA series complies with the new Australian standard for minimum efficiency (MEPS2).


SGA Features
Standards and Specifications
The main dimensions and rated outputs of CMG type SGA motors generally conform to Australian Standard AS1359 and International Standards IEC60034 and IEC60072.

Compliance with IEC60034 means that many standards from other countries based on IEC60034 can normally be complied with.

SGA MEPS compliance
SGA motor efficiency levels comply to the Minimum Efficiency Requirements as per AS/NZS 1359.5:2000, test method B. Many of the motors in the SGA range actually comply to the high efficiency requirements of the same standard.

Degree of protection
Standard levels of enclosure protection for all SGA frame sizes for both Motor and Terminal box is IP55, with IP56, IP65 and IP66 available on request.
In addition to the standard design the range includes:
SGAB - Brake motors
SGAE - Hazardous location Ex 'e'
SGAN - Hazardous location Ex 'n'
SGAD - Hazardous location DIP
SGASS - Smokespill application
SGACT - Cooling tower application
SGAM - Aggressive environment / mining application
SGAR - Airstream rated for Axial flow fans


Insulation
All units are supplied with class 'F' insulation, with temperature rise being limited to less than 80K (unless otherwise marked). This provides the end user with a wide safety margin under general operating conditions.

In addition we offer motors wound with H Class insulation, and temperature rise still limited to 80K.
SGAH - High ambient temperature application
SGAHS - H Class smokespill application

Additional protection is provided by installation of thermistors in all units from SGA 160 frame upward, to continuously protect the winding. The conservative rating of CMG type SGA motors provides additional operational safeguards, ensures long unit life, and renders this series inherently suitable for most arduous mining, industrial or agricultural applications.



Applications
Airstream motors for axial fans – SGAR
CMG offer a comprehensive range of motors specifically built for use with axial flow fans, where the motor is mounted in the airstream.

Provided the airstream ensures ample cooling, the fan and cowl normally fitted to a standard TEFC motor is redundant. Enclosure rating of the motor is also improved with the use of a solid rear endshield. Due to the elimination of losses associated with the motor fan SGAR motors have a higher efficiency than standard SGA motors.

For ease of installation in the fan duct the motor terminal box is usually fitted with the conduit entries facing the rear of the motor.

SGAR series motors are normally available ex stock in frame sizes 80 to 180, 4 pole 0.55 to 22 kW and 6 pole 0.37 to 15 kW. (Other sizes available on request).

Cooling tower – SGACT
CMG SGACT cooling tower motors are specially developed for operation in air stream rated cooling towers. SGACT motors are available in frame sizes 80 to 355, and rated power outputs of 0.37 to 315 kW.

Applications
SGACT motors are ideally suited to the cooling tower application, in industries such as food and beverage, airconditioning, chemical processing, and petrochemical.

Protection
CMG SGACT motors have a protection rating of IP66 for maximum protection against water and dust.

Additional enhancements
  • 2 part Epoxy coated for excellent protection against corrosive solids and liquids
  • Stainless steel name plate
  • Corrosion protection on threads
  • Extra insulation coating (Red Isonel 300)
  • Shaft seal fitted
  • Silastic sealed
  • Cut off non-drive end shaft extension and fit blanking plate (or use SGAR as base motor).
Motors for hazardous areas – SGAE/SGAN/SGAD
Motors used within a hazardous location require a higher level of protection against the risk of harmful occurrences. CMG SGA motors are available in the three most common high protection configurations, Ex e, Ex n and DIP, supplied with protection ratings IP65 or IP66. SGA Hazardous area motors are available in motor frame sizes 71 to 250. Larger sizes are under development.

Combinations of protection such as Ex e and DIP or Ex n and DIP are also available.

Australian Standards
AS 2381.1-1991 and AS 2381.10-1995 specify general requirements for the selection of electrical equipment, and its installation and maintenance to ensure safe use in areas where flammable materials are generated, prepared, processed, handled, stored or otherwise used, and which are therefore potentially hazardous. The term ‘flammable material’ includes gas, vapors, liquids, mists, solids and dusts, but does not include those materials which are specifically manufactured as explosives or materials which are inherently explosive. The requirements of the listed standards apply only to the use of electrical equipment under normal or near normal atmospheric conditions. The requirements specified for hazardous location electrical equipment are supplementary to and not alternative to any requirements which would apply to equipment and installations in non-hazardous areas. (see AS3000-1991).

Paint
Standard color finish for the hazardous area range is grey, with primary options of yellow for SGAE and SGAN, and green for SGAD. Other colors are available on request.
Smokespill application - SGASS/SGAHS
Smokespill application motors are designed to withstand the extreme environmental conditions associated with a building fire. Ventilation systems within public buildings are required to continue providing smoke extraction for 2 hours at smokespill air temperature of 200°C or for 30 minutes at 300°C, designated respectively as rating-1 or rating-2 in accordance with AS/NZS1668.1-1998.

The standard SGASS range, wound with F class insulation in frame sizes 80A to 180L- 0.55 to 22kW- 2 to 8Pole meet the rating-1 requirements. SGAHS range, wound with H class insulation in frame sizes 80A to 200L- 0.55 to 30kW- 2 to 8Pole meet either rating-1 or rating-2 requirements.

The standard SGA motor is inherently suitable for upgrading to the smokespill application due to its low temperature rise. When SGASS motors are ordered SGA F class motors are modified and when SGAHS motors are ordered SGA H class motors are modified in accordance with our standard operating procedures which include the following:
  • C3 internal clearance bearings lubricated with extra high temperature specification grease
  • Special name plate specifying smokespill suitability
  • Double insulated terminal leads
  • Double varnish system for winding end turns
  • Fan and cowl removed if present on the original motor; cowl may sometimes remain to protect from bare shaft
  • Motors tested prior to despatch
  • Extra High Temperature Grease (Magnalube G)
