The ambient temperature factor (B) is 0 .93 from Table 4, and the altitude factor (B) 1 2 and ambient air velocity factor (B) are 1 .0 from Table 5 and Table 6 . The duty 3 cycle factor (B) is 1 .0 from Table 8 . 5 7 . The application-adjusted thermal capacity is 120 x 0 .93 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 111 .6 hp . This is not adequate because the actual brake hp is 135 hp . 8 . The basic thermal capacity for a 425A3, 38 .44:1 with two shaft fans is 170 hp . This is adequate since 158 .1 (170 x 0 .93 x 1 x 1) is greater than the 135 hp required . Note that the ambient air factor (B) is no longer used the in the calculation of application- 3 adjusted thermal capacity because the drive is now fan-cooled . 9 . Shaft ratings do not need to be checked because the drive is connected by flexible couplings at both the high-speed and low-speed shafts .
