    2. Insulation classification is F only for steering gear motor. In some cases it is H. It can withstand with 200% of FLA as per SOLAS requirement, because it is designed to carry that much current. It has a thin wire in winding. there is a difference between Insulation Classification and Current carrying capacity of Motor.
