 Safety Instructions for the Operation of Electrical Machines
(Three-phase squirrel cage induction motors)
1. General
Electrical machines have dangerous live and rotating parts and may have
hot surfaces. All operations serving transport, connection, putting into
service and maintenance shall be carried out by responsible skilled
persons (in conformity with EN 50110-1 / DIN VDE 0105 / lEC 60364).
Improper handling may cause serious personal injury and damage to
property.
Danger!
2. Intended Use
These electrical machines are intended for industrial installations. They
comply with harmonized standards of the EN 60034 / DIN VDE 0530 series.
Their use in hazardous areas is prohibited unless they are expressly
designed for such use (follow supplementary instructions). On no account,
use degrees of protection ≤ IP 23 outdoors. Air-cooled models are designed
for ambient temperatures of –20 °C to +40 °C and altitudes
≤ 1000 m above sea level. Ambient temperature for air-/water-cooled
models should be not less than +5 °C (for sleeve-bearing machines, see
manufacturer’s documentation). By all means, take note of deviating
information on rating plate. Field conditions must adhere to all rating plate
particulars.
Electrical machines are Components for installation in machinery within the
meaning of the Machinery Safety Directive (MSD) 2006/42/EEC. Putting
into service is prohibited until conformity of the end product with this
directive has been established (follow the particular local safety and
installation rules as e.g. EN 60204).
3. Transport, Storage
Immediately report damage established after delivery to transport
company. If appropriate, prevent putting into service. Ring bolts (lifting
eyes) are designed for the weight of the high-voltage machine, do not apply
additional loads. If necessary, use suitable, adequately dimensioned
means of transport (e.g. rope guides). Remove shipping brace (e.g. anti-
friction or sleeve bearing locks, vibration dampers) before putting machine
into service. Reuse it for further transports. When storing electrical
machines, make sure of dry, dust-free and low-vibration (veff ≤ 0,2 mm/s)
location (danger of bearing damage at rest). Measure insulation resistance
before putting machine into service. At values of ≤ 1 kΩ per Volt of rated
voltage, dry windings.
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
4. Installation
Make sure of even support, solid foot or flange mounting and exact
alignment in case of direct coupling. Avoid resonances with rotational
frequency and double mains frequency as a result of assembly. Turn rotor,
listen for abnormal slip noises. Check direction of rotation in uncoupled
state (follow clause 5).
Mount or remove couplings or other drive elements only with appropriate
means (Heat!) and cover them with touch guard. Avoid excessive radial
and axial bearing loads (note manufacturer’s documentation).
The balance of the machine is indicated (H = half-,F = full key). With half-
key models (H) the coupling, too, must be half-key balanced. In case of
protruding visible part of the key, establish mechanical balance.
Make necessary ventilating pipe connections. Models with shaft end
pointing upwards to be provided with cover by the customer. The ventilation
must not be obstructed and the exhaust air –of neighbouring sets also - not
taken in directly.
5. Electrical Connection
All operations must be carried out by skilled persons only on the electrical
machines at rest. Before starting work, the following five safety rules must
be strictly applied:
• De-energise
• Provide safeguard against reclosing
• Verify safe isolation from supply
• Connect to earth and short
of
• Cover or provide barriers against neighbouring live parts.
De-energise auxiliary circuits (e.g. anti-condensation heating).
Exceeding of limit values of range A of EN 60034 part 1 - voltage ± 5 %,
frequency ± 2 %, form, symmetry – leads to higher temperature rise. Note
rating plate particulars and connection diagram from terminal box.
The connection must be made so, that permanently safe electrical
connection is maintained. Use appropriate cable terminations. Establish and
maintain safe equipotential bonding. The clearances between uninsulated
live parts and between such parts and earth must not be below the following
values: >8 mm at UN ≤ 500 V, >10 mm at UN ≤ 750 V, >14 mm at
UN ≤ 1000 V, 36 mm at UN ≤ 3,3 kV, 60 mm at UN ≤ 6,6 kV, 100 mm at
UN ≤ 11 kV.
No presence of foreign bodies, dirt or moisture is allowed in the terminal
box. Close unused cable entrance holes and the box itself in a dust- and
watertight manner. For trial run without coupling elements lock fitting key.
For electrical machines with accessories, check satisfactory functioning of
these before putting into service.
The proper installation (e.g. segregation of signal and power lines, screened
cables etc.) lies within the installer’s responsibility.
6. Operation
Vibration severities in the „satisfactory“ range according to DIN ISO 10816-3
(vrms ≤ 4,5 mm/s) are acceptable in coupled-mode operation. In case of
deviations from normal operation – e.g. elevated temperature, noises,
vibrations – disconnect machine, if in doubt. Establish cause, consult
manufacturer, if necessary.
Do not defeat protective devices, not even in trial run. In case of heavy
dirt deposits, clean cooling system at regular intervals. From time to time,
open closed condensate drain holes, if any!
Regrease anti-friction bearings with relubricating device while machine is
running. Follow the instructions on lubricating plate!
In case of sleeve-bearing machines, observe time limit for oil change.
Refer to manufacturer’s documentation for sound power level and
information about the use of appropriate sound-reducing measures.

1. Instruction manual

1.1 Transport

1.1.1 Reception
On the receipt of the machine it is recommended to check for visible transport damages
immediately.
Possible damages should be recorded on the consignment note and the supplier should be
notified.
All official reservations should be made to the supplier and to ourselves within 24 hours by
fax or by registered e-mail.

1.1.2 Lifting
The machine will be shipped in a completed manner. On DE it is suited with a special shaft
block to lock the rotor. Without the shaft block any transport and lifting/setting down
operations are permitted!
In principle for lifting and transport there should be used the ring bolts and lifting eyes
respectively on the stator frame, also using suitable adequately dimensioned means of
transport (e.g. rope guides). The lifting eyes are designed for the weight of the motor, do not
apply extra loads.
The lifting eyes of several components (e.g. terminal box, cooler, fan cowl or separate
cooling fan) are intended for the weight of these parts only.
Setting down has to be carried out without impact and to a flat and smooth foundation
having sufficient weight.
For forklift transport it has to be observed, that the load is hold by the motor feet and that
there is no pressure on the motor frame – danger of dents!
If there is no suitable lifting beam for the machine having upside mounted cooler or fan cowl
and side lifting eyes, and adjustable slings may impair these components, then these
components have to be removed before transport.
Attention! No items must infringe into the opened machine.
It is not allowed to put slings around shaft end, pedestals, coupling, cowls or similar parts.
Machines with bedplate shall be lifted using the bedplate lifting eyes – do not use the lifting
eyes of the sole machine! Units, which are not allowed to be handled completely mounted,
are marked by an appropriate marking plate on the bedplate.
For transport of dismantled machines it is not allowed to put steel slings around shaft end
for rotor lifting – protections is required!
In case of doubt please contact the manufacturer.

Issue 01/2015 page 1 of 26

Moving of a vertically mounted machine:
Vertical machines sometimes have to be moved from vertical to horizontal position or vice
versa, for transport or bearing removal e.g. considering the adhering safety rules, skilled
personnel and suitable transport means are required. Avoid damages of machine parts and
paint! The rotor locking device must not be removed or installed unless the vertical position
is reached.

1.2 Storage
Whether there is no immediate putting into service or a long time out of service, the
machine has to be stored in a dry room, dust- and vibration free, at average temperature of
–5 °C to +50 °C, relat. humidity less than 60%. There shall be no corrosive ambient. Avoid
undesirable condensation.
For long term storage corrosion protection for all bare metallic surfaces is required.
Electrical machines should not be stored outdoors without packaging.
In the case of high temperature volatility or high humidity it is recommended to use the
space heater. If necessary, please contact the manufacturer for upgrade.
For larger machines having anti-friction bearings (roller bearings) without rotor locking
device we recommend to turn the shaft from time to time to avoid stand-still-marks upon the
bearing raceway due to one-point load stress. If possible, use vibration restraining support
(e.g. elastomers).

Issue 01/2015 page 2 of 26

1.3 Installation of Machines
For installation/operation, the provisions of local authority installation regulations apply, as
do generally accepted engineering practice and this Instruction Manual.
The motor complies with the requirements of Directive 2006/42/EEC (MSD) provided that
the design criterion given from the manufacturer and this Instruction Manual are met. In
particular the observance of threshold values of voltage, current and speed plays an
important role.

1.3.1 Mounting
The degree of protection and cooling type shall be chosen in accordance with the local
requirements by the machine order. For uncertainty, please contact the manufacturer.
On factory site you have to check whether the machine type of protection adheres to the
environmental conditions. Free access to terminal boxes, lubricant and control devices is
required.
Dismantle anti corrosion means. No soiling shall impair the machine interior. Damaged
painting shall be touched up.
For the installation of machines which are not delivered fully assembled, only the
components may be used marked as matching together.
Flange of Vertical machines: Vertically mounted machines are fitted with a mounting
flange according EN 60072. That flange should be mounted to an opposite complete base
flange. We recommend a mounting adapter to ensure a simple coupling and inspections in
the course of operation.
Before mounting of transmission elements (coupling, belt pulley etc.) the shaft end is to be
carefully cleaned (remove corrosion protection paint). Apply gliding lubricant and remove
the rotor locking device or locking parts - if any. Observe supplementary notes.
In general the parts to be mounted will be heated at first to avoid excessive power
requirement for pulling them onto the shaft end. Use suitable pulling devices. Hammer
impacts or similar shocks may impair bearing damages! Observe the application notes of
coupling manufacturers.
Our machines are balanced in accordance with ISO 8821 and EN 60034-14 standards.
In general, the rotor is balanced with half the feather key.
In accordance with the motor balance (indicated on shaft end face, H = half-key model, F =
full-key model), the transmission element has to be dynamic balanced correspondingly.
In the case of doubt please contact the manufacturer to ensure vibration free operation and
optimum bearing life cycle.
Coverage of transmission components shall be provided.
Test run with the feather key fitted without a transmission element half is not
permitted due to the key!

Issue 01/2015 page 3 of 26

Only couplings with flawless fit and pitch shall be used. All of the elastic intermediate blocks
must have identical elasticity factor and quality.
Each dissimilarity will cause (for very high torque especially) torque vibrations of the shaft
due to cranking power and therefore the danger of friction contact between rotor and stator
and severe machine damage.
Especially for special transmission elements, manufacturer’s notes must be observed.
Transmission elements shall be dynamically balanced, with operation speed if necessary.
Whether with the motor order the question of belt pulley or gear coupling was not
discussed, you should contact us for the technical requirements (including dimensions) to
check the permissible load on shaft and bearings.
Having high radial belt tension maybe a separate pedestal and a separate wheel are
required.
Please let us know some axial compression and tension load also to figure out the design of
guided- / axial- bearing.
For special circumstances there may be another fact for machines having empowered
bearing (cylindrical roller bearing DE side):
Are fast running motors (2-/4-poles) of smaller or middle frame mounted with bolt coupling
(e.g. ELCO) and excellent aligned, so the DE roller bearing wears hardly no radial load.
Then a slip of the rolls to their raceway and an unexpected rise of the bearing temperature
may occur. Remedy shall be created by using different bearings (light sized roller bearings
or ball bearings, but considering the complex assembly of motor / drive and the guided and
strained / non guided bearing behaviour according to manufacturer’s supervision).
It is necessary to take into account the complete drive concept including thermal longitude
increases and radial and axial loads etc.

For air-cooling machines the ventilation air inlets and outlets are to be free and you have to
ensure that no warmed ventilation air can be taken (consider neighbouring equipment).
For separate ventilated machines the necessary amount of cooling air must be supplied
(see name plate) considering pressure loss of the pipes. That is important in particular for
noise reduced machines (noise protection hood). Then we recommend an effective air
control (mechanically or thermally).
For water-cooling machines the inlet temperature of cooling water must adhere to the range
+15 °C to +25 °C. To avoid cavitation damages the flow velocity of water shall not be more
than 2.5 m/s. No corrosive ingredients are allowed. Avoid freezing of the cooling water
circuit!
In the case of long term deviation of local water temperatures from technical data, in
adherence with the manufacturer there should be an appropriate reduce of machine power
(or increase for lower water temperature).

The machine shall be securely mounted to a most possible vibration and shock-free base.

Issue 01/2015 page 4 of 26

The upper surface of the base-plates must be adjusted as shown by the following diagram.
Alignment shims must be positioned as close as possible of lightning screws:

Attention: All motor feet are uniformly levelled on the metallic base!
Fit height differences by alignment shims and thereafter tighten the fundamental bolts.
Otherwise the damage may occur due to bending the machine frame!
Especially for mounting on steel constructions observe the required rigidity against
resonance vibrations. This may occur for high speed machines especially (2- / 4-poles).

Issue 01/2015 page 5 of 26

1.3.2 Alignment
Align the machines carefully to ensure smooth running. Axial deviation and deviation of
parallel surfaces of both coupling halves must be as low as possible considering the heat
extensions and the oil film floating of sleeve bearings if necessary.
Please observe the instructions of the manufacturer of the driven machine and the coupling,
too.

For coupling mode you have to align the shafts in axial and radial direction against each
other. Dial gauges must be rigid mounted, measurements are to be taken in four positions
(90° turn each, simultaneously both coupling halves).

Right upper figure shows a combined measuring methode.

„E“-value adhering coupling manufacturer’s advice.

Middle figure shows an axial measuring.

Differences must be fitted by shims.
The alignment tolerances shall adhere to 30 µm according
to a measuring diameter of 200 mm.

Lower figure shows a radial measuring.

Differences must be fitted by shims.
The alignment tolerances shall adhere to 30 µm according
to a measuring diameter of 200 mm.

Issue 01/2015 page 6 of 26

The modern, most exact method will be the computer aided alignment (e.g.ROTALIGN).
Exactly machined couplings made of steel may be satisfactorily aligned by the use of
gauges and measuring ruler if necessary.

For belt pulley you have to observe that both belonging pulleys have exactly parallel axis.
Therefore, the assumed line between middle points of both pulleys and the shafts shall form
a right angle. Even the pre-tension of the belt must adhere to the belt manufacturer’s rules.
Unnecessarily high pre-tension may affect damages for shaft and bearings.

After alignment the machine feet are recommended to be pinned to the base using two
pinning holes at NDE feet.
The alignment behaviour shall be checked in appropriate time (8000 operation hours).

When for special cases extreme torque shocks (blocked rotor, heavy starting) shall be
considered, the hazard of mechanical breakage or overheating of the motor and the
resulting ignition risk must be prevented by mechanical protecting devices.

Issue 01/2015 page 7 of 26

1.4 Electrical Installation

1.4.1 Insulation Resistance

The insulation resistance between windings against earth and between winding parts
against each other must be measured before operating the motor the first time and must
adhere to the local installation standards. Test voltage: (500 V D.C.) 1000 V D.C. or more
respectively for high-voltage machines and dry windings.
Permissible insulation resistance for 20 °C windings temperature (Consider: each 10 K
winding temperature rise results in a resistance decrease by half):
Min. Resistance
Low-voltage motors up to 690 V 1 MOhm
Rotor- / secondary windings 50 kOhm each 100 V
High-voltage motors 15 MOhm each kV

Note: Clean and dry windings are having much higher values than the specified
lower limits!
Lower frame sizes shall have higher values than larger machines. In case of doubt contact
manufacturer before putting into service.
For larger high-voltage machines the Polarization Index (PI) may be used for further
evaluation of the winding insulation:
PI = R10 min R1 min
Measure the insulation resistance (or charging current resp.) after one minute and
after ten minutes, and divide the 10 min.-value by the 1 min.-value.
Another criterion may be the charging number (CN):
CN = R60 s R15 s
Measure the insulation resistance (or charging current resp.) after 15 seconds and
after 60 seconds, and divide the 60 s.-value by the 15 s.-value.
Permissible values for windings insulations are shown with the following table:
Richtwerte PI CN
Not satisfactory <2 < 1,3
Satisfactory 2 to 3 1,3 to 1,4
Good > 3 to 4 > 1,4 to 1,6
Excellent > 4 ... > 1,6 ...

If these values are failed, the winding must be dried out by appropriate means.

Issue 01/2015 page 8 of 26

1.4.2 Dry out

The appropriate measure depends on the local equipment and shall be negotiated with the
manufacturer (drying with oven, current, hot air, space heater).
During dry out by d.c. supplied winding heating, the current shall not be more than half the
rated a.c. current. Squirrel-cage machines can be dried by three phase supply of the
windings using reduced voltage (approx. 5 – 6 % rated voltage), but the rotor must be
locked. This procedure may cause inductive excess heating problems for slip ring rotors
having steel rovings. On the other hand, on stand-still rotors the occurrence of current
transition marks on slip rings must be strictly prevented!
Alternate the winding strings periodically.
For each case the maximum temperature of the winding shall not exceed a 90 °C
maximum. It has to be observed while drying out. (measuring the copper resistance rise –
read the cold resistance prior to dry out and then record the resistance value periodically.
Advice for optimum drying temperature: - 1.4 times resistance rise for prior temperature at
20 °C).
Reading the insulation resistance at three-hours intervals, the drying procedure should be
stopped two or three hours after the insulation resistance reaches the required value.
It should be noted that the insulation resistance reading measured after the machine has
cooled may be higher than the value obtained with the machine hot at the time when drying
was stopped.
Closed frame types shall be opened by removing of cooling elements or at least by
inspection hatches, doors, covers, air gap record covers to ensure satisfactory air changes
– if necessary simply blow in dry air.
Condensed water often may be dried by hot air (fan heater).
For machines having thermal motor protection (PTC resistors) you have to ensure
especially the drying temperature not exceeding the 120 °C value (max. 180 °C for motors
Insulation Class „H“). Test voltage for PTC must not exceed 0.8 V!
Slot thermometers Pt 100 (100 Ω at 0 °C) are used for exact measurement of winding
temperature corresponding with suitable control unit.
Control will also be possible using low-resistance measuring instrument with low current
measuring:
Change of resistance = 0,385 Ω/K;
e.g. measured 138,5 Ω = winding temperature of 100 °C.

Issue 01/2015 page 9 of 26

1.4.3 Electrical installation
All mounting and installation works must be performed by skilled and experienced
personnel in accordance with local authority regulations.
And they must be carried out on standstill machine.
Before starting work, the following five safety rules must be strictly applied:
• De-energise
• Provide safeguard against reclosing
• Verify safe isolation from supply
• Connect to earth and short
• Cover or provide barriers against neighbouring live parts.
This also applies for auxiliary circuits.
Supply and operating data shall be checked against marking plate data – observe the circuit
diagram. Unless otherwise stated, the rated data are valid (tolerance acc. EN 60034) for
max. 40 °C ambient temperature and maximum altitude of 1.000 m above sea level, and
requested cooling water or air data if any.
Exceeding of the tolerances specified by EN 60034-1 (i.e. voltage ± 5%, frequency ± 2%,
waveform, symmetry) leads to elevated temperatures affecting the permitted surface
temperatures.
Line cables and their installation shall adhere to local authority regulations for installation.
For the cable entry into the terminal boxes observe the degree of protection IP 55 especially
(sealings). No presence of foreign bodies, dirt or moisture is allowed in the terminal boxes.
Unused entry openings should be closed off with dummy plugs in a dust- and watertight
manner.
With the installation the clearance and creepage distances inside of the terminal boxes
must be observed in particular considering the cable connection and lugs.
Clearance distances between live parts against each other and earth must adhere to
following minimum limits:
Voltage clearance [mm] creepage [mm]
≤ 250 V ≥ 2,5 ≥4
≤ 500 V ≥5 ≥8
≤ 800 V ≥7 ≥ 12.5
≤ 1000 V ≥8 ≥ 13
≤ 4000 V ≥ 28 ≥ 40
≤ 6300 V ≥ 45 ≥ 63
≤ 10000 V ≥ 70 ≥ 100
≤ 15000 V ≥ 105 ≥ 150

All terminals must be correctly fastened due to avoid severe heating and damage of the
insulation material.

Issue 01/2015 page 10 of 26

The connections must be made as to maintain a permanent safe electrical connection with
appropriate cable terminals, permissible cable type and wiring system and safe
equipotential bonding. Take care of the mounting of cable entries, self loosening prevention,
permanent sealing of the entries and temperatures of entry and cable (70 °C max.).

Observe the circuit diagram inside the terminal box.

Be careful for voltage-changing or pole-changing machines. For any request do not hesitate
to contact us prior to putting into service.
For natural sequence connection of mains supply lines L1, L2, L3 to the motor terminals
U1, V1, W1 the shaft end shall rotate clockwise – looking against the shaft end face on DE
side. For counter-clockwise rotation two phases of the supply must be reversed.

Issue 01/2015 page 11 of 26

Attention:
Machines having only one direction of rotation (e.g. due to direction-adhering fan)
are marked on the name plate and by an additional marking plate on the end shield,
fan cowl or frame. Vice versa operation is not permissible because of motor
overheating due to the lack of cooling air. Direction change requires in that case a
change of the fan or the use of a new fan respectively. New rotor balancing will be
necessary if required.

Terminals for temperature control devices (e.g. PTC or PT 100 resistors) for windings and
bearings and for space heaters and similar devices are located with additional terminal
boxes suited with circuit diagram and technical data. For safe operation the use of these
auxiliary is requested. To avoid severe damages in the case of misconnections, for further
information please contact the manufacturer.
The motor must be connected to the local grounding system.
Protective Earth Terminals are suited inside the mains terminal box and near that on the
motor foot.
Having operation with separate driven fan, external lubricant supply, cooling water supply or
similar, you have to assure by appropriate circuitry interlock that the motor operation is only
possible with fault-free operation of the auxiliary devices and that the space heater can only
be operated when the machine is disconnected from mains otherwise. If not, there is a
hazard of exceeding the maximum permissible surface temperature.

For mains supply protection there is required a switchgear equipped with (designed suited
with the motor) short-circuit current trip and thermal trip for rated current (overload
protection). Further protection devices may be included, e.g. phase-failure relay).

Attention:
For Star-Delta-Starting of Squirrel-cage motors the thermal trip has to be designed
for the rated operation current of one phase between motor and star-delta-switchgear
(= 0,58 x name plate rated current).

Issue 01/2015 page 12 of 26

1.4.4 Temperature Monitoring
a) Temperature detectors (PTC) are electronic components with an abrupt change
characteristic for a certain temperature (detectors nominal operating temperature
NOT). Below that temperature you can measure some hundred Ohms (2 terminals
each PTC), above that temperature some kiloOhms using a normal Ohm meter.
Attention: Measuring current is permitted being a few mA only! Do not connect
higher voltage (e.g. mains 240 V). This causes instantaneously
destruction of the component, due to arcing also winding defects
possible!
Windings of larger machines often equipped with two sets of PTC for different
temperatures for Alarm and Trip.
Each set is connected to one control unit, having potential-free relais contacts for
machinery control.
Supplementary change of temperature values is impossible – via Implementation of
supplementary PTC in the winding-overhangs only.
b) Klixons or Mikrotherm switches are especially designed, similar to a) mounted and for
direct use in control circuitry intended thermo switchgear. Testing: for Cold hardly no
resistance on terminals (direct connection), for Warm exceeding the rated
temperature there is interruption.
Attention: These contacts may not switch inductive load
- Coils of contactors must be suited with an R-C-element!
c) Direct thermometers with limit contacts are used in general for bearing temperature
control only. For contact load see b), for adjustment see f).
d) Thermocouples (e.g. Ni / CrNi) create with their special diagram a temperature
depended thermo voltage to be controlled with special tripping unit observing the
installation rules, equipped with limit contacts acc. c) if required. Thermocouples are
low-resistance components (mΩ) and create voltages for millivolts. They are used for
sleeve bearing shells, seldom for windings.
e) Resistance thermometers (RTD) are calibrated measuring resistors (mostly platinum
wire = Pt 100 having 100 Ω at 0 °C and 0,385 Ω resistance change per Kelvin; they
have a strictly linear diagram: 138,5 Ω at 100 °C and 153,9 Ω at 140 °C).
Each thermometer is connected to two terminals at least (often 3-wire / 4-wire
connection), if necessary equipped with overvoltage protectors in an auxiliary terminal
box. Sometimes the terminals for output wire are united together. As described by a),
reading the resistance can lead to control of the resistors and to temperature
measurement after conversion.
Each thermometer shall be connected with an own control unit, calibrated and fitted
with relais contacts for Alarm and Tripping temperatures (modern units are intended
for connection to 5 or 8 PT 100-loops in one housing, e.g. for 3 / 6 loops for windings
and 2 loops for bearings).

Issue 01/2015 page 13 of 26

f) Determination of limit points for c), d) and e) according to Insulation Class:
1.) max. limit temperatures for initialisation prior to operation:
Alarm Trip
B/F B/F
Stator winding 110 °C / 130 °C 120 °C / 140 °C
Cooler warm air inlet 60 °C / 60 °C 70 °C / 80 °C
Cooler cold air outlet 30 °C / 45 °C 40 °C / 55 °C
Sleeve bearings-lower shell 80 °C 90 °C
Antri-friction bearings 80 °C 90 °C

Any exceed of these values should be recorded to us for evaluating the cause.
In special cases higher values may be applicable.
2.) After putting into service and satisfying operation at rated conditions the limit
points should be adjusted in relation with the actual operating temperatures:
Recommendation:
1. Limit (e.g. Alarm): 5 K for bearing – 10 K for others
2. Limit (e.g. Tripping): 10 K for bearing - 15 K for others
above operating temperature considering the maximum expected ambient or
coolant temperature.
In special cases deviating values are possible – please contact the
manufacturer.

1.4.6 Start-Up
a) Prior to start-up rotate the rotor by hand and observe for unusual noises.
Star-Delta-Start: The switching time-relais must be adjusted for a switch from star to
delta after actual exceeding of the star- breakdown torque, i.e. after decrease of the
star-current. Only for special cases and computing the starting time deviating values
seem attainable (e.g. exhaustor drives with high moment of inertia).
b) It is recommended, to run the machine for one hour at least without load, uncoupled
to the drive. Satisfying run may be stated unless non-permissible vibrations or bearing
noises appear. Beating or knocking noise from bearings showing bearing problems
(transport, long term storage). Screeching noise leads to sliding bearing rolls or
improper lubricant film – seen for unloaded roller bearings but should disappear after
some run.
Suitable for expert judge are rod, stethoscope, handheld instruments (e.g. SPM).
You have to consider also the frame construction of the machine for all kinds of noise
(cast iron housings seem more silent than welded steel-constructions with pipe-
cooler).

Issue 01/2015 page 16 of 26

c) Our machines are factory rested for noise and vibrations. In case of abnormal
vibrations at first the motor should be divided from the drive and be started again.
With continuing abnormal vibrations check the balance of coupling or pulley (half key /
full key balancing) or the foundation resonance frequency (near by the motor rotation
frequency). To check the balance quality of the sole motor, it has to run with free shaft
and half-key fitted and rigid mounted (or upon elastic support – springs, rubber, or free
suspension). Recorded will be the velocity (mm/s). Fundamental problems mostly
occur for 2-pole motors only i.e. for 3000 / 3600 r.p.m.
d) Coupled and radial less loaded motors sometimes show despite correct balance and
alignment unexpected vibrations due to „rattle“ or „climb“ of the rotor with high bearing
clearance.
Change: Use bearings with lower clearance. For machines with two ball bearings (one
of them axially unguided) bend the unguided bearing by springs or similar.
e) Anti-friction bearings are factory fitted with the required amount of lubricant in
optimum quality (ask for specification) for first lubrication.
Sleeve bearings are provided without lubricant.
Please observe lubrication and maintenance recommendations for anti-friction and
sleeve bearings strictly.
The temperature of anti-friction bearings may occur up to 50 K beyond the coolant
temperature (standard e.g. 40 °C) – higher values up to operating temperatures of
140 °C could be possible in special cases after manufacturer’s supervision .
The operating temperature of sleeve bearings should state for continuous duty not
more than 75 °C (approx. 10 K more for direct measuring in lower shell) – in special
cases please contact manufacturer.
In general, sleeve bearings should be temperature monitored, RTD’s Pt 100 are built.
For all machines fitted with removable inspection hatches on housings or end shields
those should be closed to ensure satisfactorily cooling at load (against non-
permissible temperature rise).

1.4.7 Starting Conditions

It is permitted
• having ambient temperature status, three continuous startings are allowed, but
there should be a natural stopping between them
• the next starting needs a 30 min interval when there was a natural stopping
• having rated running temperature status, starting twice is allowed
• for further startings a cooling interval of 4 hours is required
• max. permissible 1000 starts per year, but starts having counter voltage are not
allowed.

Issue 01/2015 page 17 of 26

1.5 Operation and Maintenance of Squirrel cage Motors (see clause 3, too)
For maintenance/overhaul/testing, the provisions of local authority regulations apply, as do
generally accepted engineering practice and this Instruction Manual.
When performing maintenance work, pay special attention to checking those parts that
govern the equipment’s safe operation.
Maintenance work must be performed by the manufacturer or properly qualified workshop
personnel using original spare parts only.
Due to the adherence to the permitted surface temperatures the ambient temperature shall
meet the range provided with clause 1. You have to observe the effect of external heat
sources (sun influence, nearby equipment heat e.g.) for the temperature evaluation.
The operation shall be accompanied by correct metering of the installed temperature
sensors.

Maintenance means in the first line periodical control of operational conditions (noise and
vibrations) and bearings and the cleaning considering the local circumstances, too.
Therefore, you should adhere to the instructions for lubrication and maintenance of anti-
friction and sleeve bearings as well as the recommendations for maintenance and
operation. Please contact the manufacturer, if any doubt.
Dust cleaning requires the use of vacuum cleaners or compressed air – but that must be oil-
and water-free! Please observe that no dirt can be blown into the machine. Machines
having tubular cooler require free and clean tubes, cleaning is suitable to be done with
brushes or full blast cleaners.
Low voltage machines may be put into service after long term storage under severe climatic
circumstances (ambient temperature 40-45 °C and relative humidity more than 95 %)
whether they have an insulation resistance of more than 0.5 MΩ and they are clean.
For outdoor operation without canopy (permissible for machines min. IP 44 and normal
climate) higher maintenance effort is required, after long term storage especially. These
machines are advised to run at least one hour per month to reduce corrosion by
condensated water and rain. In winter period the icing and blocking of the external fan has
to be prevented.
The windings of electrical machines shall be cleaned corresponding to the operation
conditions in 1-3 years periods. They have to be refurnished with electro-insulation varnish.
Fastening of overhang wrappings, fasteners and slot sealing wedges is to be observed.
Visual control of all components.

1.6 Spare Parts

For the order of spare parts the machine name plate data and the serial number are to be
indicated, in particular the complete type including all supplementary letters and figures.
Replacing rotating parts the dynamic balancing is advised for high speed machines
considering the half-key and full-key specifications of the part.

Issue 01/2015 page 18 of 26

2. Lubrication and Maintenance of anti-friction Bearings

2.0 General
Anti-friction bearings are precision parts. Strictly necessary for safe operation is satisfying
lubrication. Even vibration-free running and adherence to permitted bearing load are
required.
In general the lubricant quality and the regreasing intervals stated with the supplementary
marking plate shall be adhered to avoid bearing damages caused by wrong lubrication.
Overgreasing may also cause problems.
Difficult local conditions may affect requirement changings – please contact the
manufacturer.

Importance of Regreasing :
The following list points out the risks associated with over-hasty excessive or poorly
implemented greasing procedures:
• grease leaks past baffles due to excessive grease pressure within the bearing for over-
hasty or excessive greasing
• bearing temperature increases for 10 to 25 K (or more) over normal operating
temperatures, until the excess grease is expelled
• surplus grease may produce a braking effect in the ball races, which might cause
moving parts (balls and rollers) to shift from their raceway, leading to heating,
intermittent noise and bearing wear (scaling, micro-seizures), as well as loss of grease
performance (shearing in the lubricant film and localized excessive grease temperatures
in the affected area, or grease pollution caused by metallic particles breaking away from
un-lubricated parts)
• seizing of the bearing within a few minutes following lubrication, especially at rotation
speed above 3000 rpm
• these risks are aggravated where grease is injected too quickly, where internal radial
play within the bearing is too small, and for high-speed operation (3000 – 3600 rpm).
First Greasing :
When the motor is commissioned for start-up, inject two „doses“ of grease at five minute
intervals. The quantity of grease is indicated on the marking plate or with above mentioned
table. Unless bearing noises typical of insufficient initial greasing can be heard, do not re-
grease for 24 hours because several hours are required to expel all the excess grease by
the expel disk.
After one week in service, inject one „dose“ of the recommended grease, followed by a
second dose 24 hours later.
Thereafter, follow the normal service plan indicated on the marking plates on the bearings
(grease quantity and interval). Under severe operating conditions, e.g. bearing temperature
above 80 °C, the greasing intervals can be halved.

Issue 01/2015 page 19 of 26

Regreasing :
So as to inject the exact quantity of grease specified, carefully check and calibrate the
quantity of grease injected by your grease-gun.
For example 1 pump stroke = 5 gram – therefore the 30 g quantity requires 6 strokes
The grease nozzle should be cleaned at first, in order to avoid injecting dirt or foreign
particles into the bearing. Similarly, both the grease-gun and grease should be clean.
Procedure: While the machine is running press the required number of strokes by the
grease-gun into the nozzle, leaving intervals of at least 5 seconds per gram per stroke (e.g.
5 grams per stroke leads to a 25 second gap between pump strokes).
Observe the bearing temperature rise. There is a need of several minutes or hours to expel
the excess grease.
The used grease is collected in the grease chamber of the external bearing cover. This old
grease should be removed, e.g. as part of inspection works, after approximately 5 re-
greasings.
Grease Renewal:
Under normal conditions, the quality of grease guarantees an operation of the motor
considering the regrease instructions above.
A renewal of the grease is only required after long storage period or for special
environmental obstacles or for a renewal of the bearings in particular.
Then provide the bearings with a new grease only after a thorough cleaning using suitable
solvents. The same type of grease shall be used. Please bear in mind that the bearings
should be filled up to about 2/3 of their free space and that the bearing commissioning and
servicing procedure (see above) is to be adhered.

2.1 Machines without Grease nipple

In general the factory filling is sufficient for the bearing life cycle. Whether after long term
storage a grease renewal is necessary, the old grease must be removed completely,
bearing chamber and bearing are to be carefully cleaned with suitable solvent. After that the
bearing and both bearing covers will be filled up to about 2/3 of their free space.
Excessive greasing results to excessive heating and must be avoided.
After fastening of the bearing covers the rotor should be rotated by hand to check the
easiness. For the start-up you should monitor noises and temperature increases.

2.2 Machines with Grease nipple and without Grease removal

Regrease the running machine. The machine is equipped with a marking plate showing the
lubricant quantity and the regreasing intervals. After approximately 5 regreasings the
external bearing covers shall be opened to remove the used grease.
After fastening of the bearing covers the rotor should be rotated by hand to check the
easiness (compare clause 2.1).
Attention: Only regrease the running machine. Consider grease pipe extension if necessary,
pipe must always be grease filled!

Issue 01/2015 page 20 of 26

2.3 Machines with Grease nipple and automatic Grease regulator
Regrease on operating machine. The machine is equipped with a marking plate showing
the lubricant quantity and the regreasing intervals. An implemented expelling disk leads the
used grease from the bearing into the grease chamber (drain box) of the external bearing
cover. This chamber is located as shown with the following table, even showing the
cleaning procedure. An opening of bearing covers is not required.

Grease chamber below DE fan Unscrew threads, pull out the chamber,
housing evacuate
Grease chamber below external Pull out slide, evacuate chamber
bearing cover
Grease chamber below internal Reach into end shield opening, pull out
bearing cover slide, evacuate chamber
Horizontal pipe below fan housing Unscrew both plugs, push out used grease
with suitable rod

Attention: Excessive grease quantities may affect bearing temperature increases!

There is a need of several minutes or hours to expel the surplus grease.
For different constructions these informations are valid analogously.

2.4 Miscibility and recommended Grease

Mounting optimized lubricating grease and quantity of grease are shown with the marking
plate. The recommended lubricant is valid for ambient temperature range from – 20 °C to
+ 40 °C. Change without manufacturer’s permission is not allowed, because as well as a
change of the mounting position it may cause dry run or higher temperatures.

We recommend using the grease specified above or any equivalent miscible grease after
manufacturer’s permission. For temperatures outside this mentioned range, please refer to
specific information.
The anti-friction bearings are fitted with a lithium based mineral-oil grease, type K3K in
accordance with DIN 51825, unless there is expressly designed a different grease quality.
Recommended standard grease is shown with the following table 1.1.
For extremely short regreasing intervals due to high bearing temperatures (> 85 °C), we
recommend special high temperature grease.
Recommended high temperature grease is shown with the following table 1.2. Please
observe the maximum permissible temperature.

Miscibility:
In the case of a required change between lubricant qualities it is important to observe their
miscibility.
Mixing incompatible greases, their ingredient compound may dramatically change.Maximum
permissible operation temperature of mixed grease may perform such a low level that
bearing damage may occur!
Greases using the same grease base and a similar base oil in common are miscible without
detrimental results.
Mixtures may reduce the drip point.
Modern high performance greases often lose their excellent characteristics in mixtures.
