North American Blowers J.I.C. Standards
Sheet 2000-9
The Joint Industry Conference, initiated by Detroit automobile manufacturers, has set up uniform standards to be followed by their companies in purchasing industrial equipment. The specifications by this conference are now popularly known as "J.I.C. Standards".
Some jobs require North American blowers to meet J.I.C. Standards regarding electrical specifications for motors and starters. This sheet explains which North American blowers meet J.I.C. Standards.
J.I.C. Standards Applying to Blowers. BLOWERS MOTORS up to and including 3 hp are to be totally enclosed (TE) with fan cooling optional. Motors over 3 hp are to be TEFC. Motors of all sizes are to be 230-460/3/60 (unless other voltage is specified) with antifriction bearings and standard plain round shaft.
STARTERS must be combination magnetic type in NEMA 12 enclosure, and are not to be smaller than NEMA size 1 for across-the-line motor starting. Starters are to be non-fusible with 115 volt control circuit.
North American Blowers Meeting J.I.C. Standards. All North American V-Belt and Coupled Drive Blowers and all single staged Direct Drive Blowers meet J.I.C. Standards when the proper motor and starter are selected. No North American multistage direct drive blowers meet J.I.C. Standards, because they require motor shaft extensions.
