Petrochemical standards a comparison between IEEE 841-2001, API 541 and API 547

Many motor users may be confused when it comes to calling out the appropriate standard or specification for their applications. Some standards are better suited to certain applications than others. By thoroughly understanding what each specification was developed for, the most appropriate standard can be chosen. This work discusses the IEEE 841-2001, API 541 4th edition, and API 547 standards, and provides guidance as to the applicability of each.
