1 Safety instructions 1
1.1 Safety and application instructions

The safe use of electric motors


Danger
These electric motors are designed for use in industrial high-voltage installations. Rotating or
live and uninsulated parts pose a danger.
There is consequently a risk of fatal or severe personal injury or substantial damage to
property if the necessary covers are removed without authorization or if the equipment is
handled improperly, operated incorrectly or maintained inadequately.
If the motors are used outside industrial areas, the installation site must be safeguarded
against unauthorized access by means of suitable protection facilities (e.g. fencing) and
appropriate warning signs.

The persons responsible for the safety of the system are under an obligation to ensure that:
• the basic planning work for the system and all work relating to transportation, assembly,
installation, commissioning, maintenance and repairs are carried out by qualified persons
and checked by responsible, suitably skilled persons.
• these instructions and the motor documentation are made available at all times while
work is in progress.
• the technical data and specifications relating to the permissible installation, connection,
ambient and operating conditions are taken into account at all times.
• the system-specific erection and safety regulations are observed and personal protective
gear is used.
• work on these motors, or in the vicinity of these motors, by unqualified persons is
prohibited.
These instructions therefore only contain the information which is necessary for the motors
to be used by qualified persons in accordance with their intended purpose.

Note
We recommend engaging the support and services of your local Siemens service center for
all planning, installation, commissioning and maintenance work.

1.2 Electromagnetic compatibility

Instructions relevant to safety


When used in accordance with their intended purpose and operated in an electrical supply
system with characteristics to EN 50 160, the enclosed motors (IP 54 and higher) comply
with the requirements of the EC Directive concerning electromagnetic compatibility
89/336/EEC.

Notice
If the load torque is very irregular (e.g. when driving a reciprocating compressor) a non-
sinusoidal motor current will be induced whose harmonics might bring about an excessive
reaction on the supply system and so cause excessive emitted interference on the power
supply connecting leads.

Notice
If operated on a frequency converter, the emitted interference is varying in strength,
depending on the design of converter (type, interference suppression measures,
manufacturer). In order to avoid exceeding the limit values as per EN 50081 on the drive
system, consisting of motor and converter, the EMC information given by the converter
manufacturer must strictly be observed. On motors with integrated sensors (e.g. PTC
thermistors) it is possible that interference voltages caused by the converter occur on the
sensor lead.

The motor generally fulfills the requirements of interference immunity in conformity with EN
50082. If using motors with integrated sensors, the operator himself must ensure sufficient
interference immunity by selecting a suitable sensor signal lead and a suitable evaluation
unit. [ID 5]

Safety instructions
1.3 Electromagnetic fields

Warning
Electromagnetic fields "electro smog"
Electromagnetic fields can interfere with electronic devices, which could cause them to
malfunction. For example, the operation of heart pacemakers can be impaired, potentially
leading to damage to a person's health or even death. It is therefore forbidden for persons
with heart pacemakers to enter these areas.
Electromagnetic fields are generated by the operation of electrical power engineering
installations such as transformers, converters or motors.
The plant operator is responsible for taking appropriate measures (labels and hazard
warnings) to adequately protect operating personnel and others against any possible risk.

• Observe the relevant nationally applicable health and safety regulations. In Germany,
"electromagnetic fields" are subject to regulations BGV B11 and BGR B11 stipulated by
the German statutory industrial accident insurance institution.
• Display adequate hazard warning notices.

• Place barriers around hazardous areas.


• Take measures to reduce electromagnetic fields at their source.
• Make sure that personnel are wearing the appropriate protective gear.

Cooling and ventilation


The series 1LA8 motors are surface-cooled three-phase squirrel cage motors in an enclosed
design with an internal air cooling circuit to cooling method IC 411 or IC 416 in accordance
with EN 60034-6.
Located at the non drive end of the stator housing is an air intake cowl that guides the
external air. The external air is drawn in through an opening in the air intake cowl and flows
axially across the outer cooling ribs of the motor frame. The fan impellers for the inner and
outer cooling air flow are mounted on the motor shaft.

Caution
Normally, external fans for two-pole motors are unidirectional (with the exception of
1LA831_-2), and for machines with four or more poles and 1LA831_-2 they are bidirectional.
Machines with unidirectional external fans are identified on the end shield and on the rating
plate with an additional label showing the direction of rotation. The internal fans are
generally bidirectional. In the event that the level of cooling provided by the internal cooling
system is not sufficient it is also possible to attach a separate fan. This type of fan provides a
sufficient level of cooling irrespective of the speed of the main motor.

Temperature sensors are integrated in the stator winding to monitor the winding
temperature. Various supplementary devices can be integrated or mounted, depending on
the order. These include, for example, anti-condensation heating, bearing temperature
monitoring or other devices.

Description, technical data
2.4 Design

Rotor and rotor winding


The rotor assembly is pressed onto the shaft together with the cage winding. The drive end
of the shaft usually has a cylindrical shaft end.

Note
The rotors of the motors are usually dynamically balanced with a half featherkey which is
inserted in the end of the shaft. An "H" is added to the manufacturing number stamped on
the face of the shaft end in order to identify this type of balancing. The letter "F" indicates
that the rotor has been balanced with a full featherkey.

Bearings
The motors are equipped with different types of rolling-contact bearings depending on the
version and the operating conditions described in the order. The different types are listed on
the lubrication plate of the motor. There are three different bearing variants:

Table 2-5 Description of the standard bearing variants

Version for Description

Horizontal type of Drive end and non-drive end as a deep-groove ball bearing,
construction, power output Drive end as a fixed bearing,
via coupling Non-drive end as a floating bearing with axial pressure springs
Horizontal type of Drive end as a floating bearing (cylindrical-roller bearing)
construction, increased Non-drive end as a fixed bearing (deep-groove ball bearing)

Vertical type of construction Drive end as a fixed bearing, pairing of angular ball bearing / deep-
Shaft height 355 ... 400 groove ball bearing
Non-drive end as a floating bearing with axial pressure springs, deep-
groove ball bearing

In converter operation an insulated bearing is usually installed on the non-drive end.

Caution
Compliance with the permissible loads for the forces at the end of the shaft must be ensured
in accordance with the catalog data, as otherwise bearing damage may occur.

Terminal boxes
The terminal box can be arranged either on the left or right of the machine. It is not possible
to subsequently swap the position to the other side of the machine at a later date. Please
consult the manufacturer if you subsequently need to convert the machine to the next larger

2.5 Bearing design for increased degree of protection (optional)

Improved sealing by means of a sealing grease chamber


Improved sealing is available as an option on versions with a "bearing unit without bearing
housing". Improved sealing of the bearing units to prevent dust and water from getting in can
be achieved by positioning a grease chamber ahead of the actual bearing unit. Although the
same grease is used in both cases for reasons of convenience, a distinction is made here
between lubricating grease and sealing grease because of their different functions.

Layout
The spent lubricating grease collects in the space between the bearing housing and the
outer bearing cap. The latter also forms the sealing grease chamber with the Iabyrinth ring.
The second lubricating nipple containing the grease duct for pressing in the sealing grease is
also located in the outer bearing cap. The chamber is sealed off from the space that collects
the lubricating grease by a V-ring/felt ring combination to prevent the sealing grease in the
chamber from penetrating into the lubricating grease collecting space. During operation, the
sealing grease in the chamber slowly runs out via the labyrinth and seals it, additionally
removing dust from inside and around the outside of the labyrinth ring. [ID 12]

3 Transport, installation and assembly 3
3.1 Transportation and storage

Damage during transportation


The shipping company must be notified immediately of any damage detected after delivery
of the machine. The machine must not be put into operation if any damage is found.

Transportation
Caution
The supplied rotor locking device must be mounted during transportation in order to prevent
damage to the motor. Do not remove this device until before the power output element is
fitted. If the motor has to be transported after the power output element is fitted, other
appropriate measures must be taken to fix the axial position of the rotor (see illustration
below).
Vertical-design motors must always be transported in the vertical position if the rotor is not
fixed. If transport in a horizontal position should prove to be necessary in special cases, the
rotor must be fixed again before the machine is turned back up. Vertical motors with suitable
bearings can be supplied in the horizontal position from the manufacturing plant.

Warning
Motors may only be transported and hoisted in a position corresponding to their type of
construction. The motors may only be hoisted using the hoisting lugs provided on the stator
housing. Use appropriate rope guidance or spreading equipment (for weight see rating plate
or technical data).
The handling instructions and markings on the motors must be observed whenever they are
transported. The motor's center of gravity is also indicated in the dimension diagram of the
respective motor. If the center of gravity of a load is not located centrally between the
attachment points, the hoisting hook must be positioned above the center of gravity. Pay
attention to the possibility of different loading of the sling ropes or lifting straps and the
carrying capacity of the lifting equipment.

Warning
Only the intended openings, eyebolts and lifting pins on the baseplates may be used for
transporting motor sets. Always pay attention to the carrying capacity of the lifting device.
Motor sets must not be lifted by attachment to the individual motors.

Notice
If a motor is not put into operation immediately, it should be stored in a dry room free from
dust, frost and vibrations, and free of aggressive gases in the ambient air.

Storing outdoors
If possible choose a dry storage location safe from flooding and free from vibrations. Repair
any damage to the packaging before putting the equipment in storage in so far as this is
necessary to ensure proper storage conditions. Position machines, devices and crates on
pallets, wooden beams or foundations that guarantee protection against ground dampness.
Prevent the equipment from sinking into the ground and the circulation of air underneath the
equipment from being impeded.
Covers or tarpaulins used to protect the equipment against the weather must not make
contact with the surfaces of the equipment. Ensure adequate air circulation by positioning
wooden spacer blocks between the equipment and such covers.

3.2 Installation

Storing indoors
The storage rooms must be dry, free from dust, frost and vibrations and well ventilated. They
must also provide protection against extreme weather conditions. The motors must be
protected against shock and humidity. The rotor locking device should be installed when the
device is put into storage.

Caution
If storage conditions are inappropriate there is a risk of bearing seizure damage.

Preservation (mothballing)
If motors are to be mothballed for a period of longer than 6 months, they must be checked
every 6 months to ensure they are in good working order and the necessary maintenance
procedure must also be carried out. Document all preservation measures taken, so that they
can be reversed before the motors are put back into service. Slightly heat the windings of
motors constantly and ensure good air circulation.

Caution
If the motors were supplied with a transport lock, secure the rotor in accordance with the
instructions for the transport lock in order to prevent vibration damage to the bearings.
If the motors are equipped with condensate drain holes, remove the sealing plugs at regular
intervals, let the condensate drain off and refit the plugs. [ID 607]

3.2 Installation

Instructions relevant to safety


Caution
When routing cables or other parts or components close to or next to the motor enclosure, it
should be taken into account that the motor enclosure could be at a high temperature during
operation.

Take careful note of the technical data specified in the motor documentation and on the
plates on the motor frame. The following conditions must also be observed:

Shipping brace
If any shipping braces are in place, remove them before installation.

3.2 Installation

Cooling
The cooling air must be able to be drawn in and discharged unimpeded; ensure that warm
discharged air is not drawn back in at the air intake. On the vertical motor design with air
intake from above, the air inlets must be protected against the ingress of foreign bodies and
water.

Balancing quality
The rotors are dynamically balanced. For shaft ends with featherkeys, the balancing type is
specified using the following coding on the face of the drive end of the shaft:
• Code "H" means balancing with half a featherkey (standard version); this means that in
order to maintain the balancing quality, it may be necessary to cut back the part of the
featherkey protruding from the drive element and the shaft profile if the motor has a short
output element.
• Code "F" means balancing with a whole featherkey (this is a special version which must
be ordered separately).
Please make sure that the power output element is correctly balanced. Power output
elements may only be fitted or removed using suitable equipment.

Caution
The featherkeys are only secured during transport to prevent them from falling out. If the
motor has two shaft ends, and a power output element is only fitted to one end, steps must
be taken to secure the featherkey at the other end. If the rotor has the standard type of
balance "H", the featherkey must be cut back to roughly half of its normal length.

Noise emission
When assessing the noise that is emitted at a workplace (if any), it should be taken into
account that the A-weighted sound pressure level, measured in accordance with ISO 1680,
namely 70 dB(A), is exceeded if the three-phase AC motors are operated with the rated
output.

Water drain holes


In the bearing end shields on the drive end and non drive end, water drain holes are situated
in the foot area and opposite the regreasing devices. They are sealed with yellow plastic
plugs. If there is a risk of condensation forming in the motor (e.g. due to severe fluctuations
in ambient temperature or direct sunlight, even with high air humidity and intermittent
operation or load fluctuations), it may be useful to remove the plugs located at the bottom
(depending on installation position).

Note
Nominally the degree of protection of the motor is reduced to IP44 by removal of the plug.

3.3 Aligning

Rolling-contact bearings
The permissible values for longitudinal and transverse forces can be found in the catalog
and can be obtained from your local Siemens sales office if required.

Installation surfaces
Make sure that the surfaces for the foundations are level and that the installation surfaces for
the motor are parallel to the surface of the foundations. The undersides of the feet of the
machine must be cleaned before installation. [ID 606.01]

3.3 Aligning

Instructions relevant to safety


Detailed specialist knowledge of the necessary measures is required in order to correctly
align and securely mount the equipment, e.g. for
• preparing the foundation,
• selecting and mounting the coupling,
• measuring the concentricity and axial eccentricity tolerances,
• axial and horizontal positioning.
If personnel are not familiar with the necessary measures and procedures, we recommend
using the services of the local SIEMENS service centre.

Vertical and horizontal position


The following measures are required in order to compensate any radial offset at the coupling
and to horizontally adjust the electric motor with respect to the driven load:
Place shims under the motor feet to position it vertically and to prevent stress/distortion. The
number of shims should be kept as low as possible, i.e. stack as few as possible.
To position the motor horizontally, push it sideways on the foundation and ensure that the
axial position is maintained.
When positioning the motor, ensure that there is a uniform axial gap around the coupling.

Alignment accuracy
A diameter of 0.05 mm is required to satisfy the coaxial requirements for the shafts of the
motor and the driven machine. [ID 208]

3.4 Mounting

3.4 Mounting

Overview
In order to ensure smooth, vibration-free motor operation, a stable foundation design in
accordance with DIN 4024 is required, the motor must be precisely aligned, and the
components, which are to be mounted on the shaft end, must be correctly balanced. In
addition, vibration speeds must meet the requirements of DIN ISO 10816-3.

Note
Where a belt drive is used, it is of advantage to use sliding rails to mount the motor so as to
be able to set the correct belt tension.

Caution
The bearings and shaft can be damaged if the belt tension is too high. It is essential,
therefore, that you adhere to the permissible values.

Motors that are attached by their mounting feet to the wall because of their design must be
supported from below by a wall strip, for example, or pinned.
Use machine fixing bolts with the necessary strength class to ISO 898-1 (e.g. 10.9) for
reliable mounting and safe transmission of forces resulting from torque. When selecting the
bolts and the design of the foundation you must take into account the maximum forces
occurring in the case of a fault (e.g. short circuit or system transfers in phase opposition).
The values for the foundation forces can be found in the configuring documentation or are
available on request from the manufacturer. [ID 15.02]

3.5 Connecting the ground conductor

Connection to the motor


The cross-section of the motor ground conductor must comply with the installation and
erection regulations, for example in accordance with IEC / EN 60204-1, for phase conductor
cross-sections greater than 35 mm2, with a minimum of 50% of the cross-section of the
phase conductor.
There is a hexagon bolt with flat and spring washer on the stator frame at the designated
connecting point for the ground conductor. This is suitable for connecting multi-core
conductors with cable lugs or straps with appropriate conductor ends.
When making connections, ensure that
• the connecting surface is bare and is protected against corrosion using a suitable
substance, e.g. acid-free Vaseline
• the flat and spring washer are located under the bolt head

Overview
Danger
All work on the motor must be performed by qualified personnel only, with the motor in a
stationary state in which it has been locked out and secured so that it cannot be switched
back on again. Check that no voltage is present before commencing work.

The type designation of the terminal box for connecting the power cables can be found in the
"Technical data" section; see "Main terminal box" in the spare parts list for a diagram of the
terminal box. Connecting cables can be sealed and secured at every entry point into the
terminal box. Suitable entry plates can be rotated through 180°.

Select the connecting cables in accordance with DIN VDE 0100 and in accordance with the
rated current and the installation-specific conditions (e.g. ambient temperature, routing
method etc. according to DIN VDE 0298 or IEC/EN 60204-1).
The necessary connection data regarding
• the direction of rotation,
• the number and arrangement of the terminal boxes,
• the circuit and connection of the motor winding,
are specified in the section entitled "Technical data". The permissible direction of rotation
can also be seen on the motor rating plate.

Connection
Note
Ensure that there is a safe and reliable PE ground connection before starting any work.

The connection must be made in such a way that a permanent, safe electrical connection is
maintained (no protruding wire ends). Use the matching cable end pieces. Depending on the
parts fitted, the connecting parts may be suitable for connection with or without cable lugs.
The available connection techniques, permissible conductor cross-sections, terminal sizes
and the associated tightening torques for the main terminals can be found in the following

Figure 3-3 Connection of the power cable in the main terminal box
In some cases a terminal strip is installed in the main terminal box for the auxiliary circuit
connections. The connecting terminals of the auxiliary circuits are suitable for cable cross-
sections of up to 1.5 mm2 (fine-wire) or 2.5 mm2 (single-wire). The required insulation
stripping length on conductors for auxiliary terminals differs according to terminal type (6 to 9
mm). When the length is correct, the conductor should reach the stop in the terminal and at
the same time the conductor insulation should reach the contact part of the terminal.

3.6 Connection of the motor

Direction of rotation
Connection of the power cables in the phase sequence L1, L2, L3 to U, V, W results in
clockwise rotation. If two of the connections are swapped then the resulting direction of
rotation is counter-clockwise (e.g. L1, L2, L3 to V, U, W). On motors which are only allowed
to run in one direction, the rating plate shows an arrow which indicates the permitted
direction of rotation, and it also specifies the terminal connections in the required phase
sequence.

&ORFNZLVH &RXQWHUFORFNZLVH

Figure 3-4 Direction of rotation of the motor when looking at the drive end

Note
These restrictions in terms of the direction of rotation relate to the particular type of motor
design and result, for example, from the use of unidirectional fans. Any restrictions in terms
of the direction of rotation resulting from the installation itself are not shown in the
information on the rating plate and need to be considered separately when making the
connections.

Terminal designations
The following definitions apply in principle to the terminal designations of three-phase motors
in accordance with DIN VDE 0530 Part 8 or IEC 60034-8:

Table 3-4 Terminal designations (on the example of 1U1-1)

1 U 1 - 1 Designation

x Index showing the pole assignment for pole-changing motors (where applicable,
a lower number indicates a higher speed) or, in special cases, for a subdivided
winding
x Phase designation (U, V, W)
x Index showing the start (1) / end (2) or tapping point of the winding (if there is
more than one connection per winding)
x Additional index for cases in which it is obligatory to connect parallel power feed
cables to several terminals with otherwise identical designations

Connecting using cable lugs


When using cable lugs to make the connection, the choice of cable lug size must match the
required conductor cross-section and the bolt size. A sloped/angular arrangement is only
permitted provided the required air insulation gaps are met. Remove the insulation from the
conductor ends so that the remaining insulation is almost long enough to reach the cable lug.

Transport, installation and assembly
3.6 Connection of the motor

Note
The current-carrying capacity of the connection is guaranteed using the CuZn contact nuts.
These nuts must not be replaced by parts made from other materials.

Connection without cable lugs


The design of the terminals makes it possible to connect fine-wire conductors without the
use of wire end ferrules. Wire end ferrules should only be used if they are attached to the
conductor before connection, using an appropriate, current-carrying compression
connection.

Notice
If terminal links are used, the current-carrying connection is guaranteed using CuZn contact
nuts. These nuts must not be replaced by parts made from other materials.

Aluminum conductors
If aluminum conductors are connected, we recommend removing the oxide coating layer
using a brush or file prior to inserting them in the clamps. The conductors should then be
immediately greased using neutral Vaseline in order to prevent re-oxidation.

Notice
Aluminum flow is likely to occur after the conductors have been connected due to the contact
pressure. This should be compensated for by re-tightening the clamping nuts after
approximately 24 hours and then again after approximately 4 weeks.

Use of single-stranded cables


If high currents occur when using several single-stranded cables instead of multiple-stranded
cables for three-phase supply cables, high temperatures can be generated at the materials
around the entry points to the terminal box as a result of eddy currents. Once the system has
been taken into operation it is therefore necessary to check that the temperature limits of the
connected power cables are not exceeded in operation.
This temperature effect can be reduced by altering the conditions at the entry points or by
using modified cable entry plates after consultation with the manufacturing plant.

Cable entry and routing


Connecting cables and in particular the PE ground conductor in the terminal box should be
laid out in an open arrangement, and they should preferably have spare length to prevent
chafing of the cable insulation.

Operating Instructions 1LA831 ... 1LA845, 082006 3-11
Transport, installation and assembly
3.6 Connection of the motor

Auxiliary cables fed in externally must be routed separately from the main cable and
secured. Elements with cable ties are located on the floor of the terminal box next to the
walls for this purpose.
Screw-type cable connections should normally be used (not included in the delivery scope).
In special cases the connecting cable is sealed at the cable entry point using a cut-out seal
insert and is fastened using a strain relief device. The strain relief device can be located
either in the terminal box or externally.
We recommend the following procedure:
• Cut out the seal insert in such a way that its opening is 1 to 3 mm smaller than the cable
diameter. If the cable diameter is too small, this should be increased by applying a layer
of suitable sealing tape around the conductor.
• After inserting the seal, make a termination to match the cable and connect a grounding
cable to it. If the cable has external armoring, do not route it directly into the terminal box,
but just up to the strain relief device, which in this case should also be fitted externally.
This prevents moisture from penetrating into the terminal box.
• Unscrew the upper section of the strain relief device and release the mounting screws for
the lower section. Insert the cable with seal insert into the gland opening. When the cable
is positioned concentrically inside the gland opening, screw the strain relief clip together
and secure it.

Figure 3-5 Strain relief device and sealing insert

Note
Tighten the clamping screws of the strain relief clip as much as necessary to produce the
required effect but not so much as to damage the insulation. The recommended
tightening torque is 5 Nm (see illustration).

On cables without secured routing, cable entries should be used with a strain relief device
which is protected against twisting (e.g. similar to DIN 22419).

3.6 Connection of the motor

Internal PE ground conductor connection


The PE ground conductor connection between the grounding terminal in the box enclosure
and the motor enclosure is made by means of the mounting screws of the terminal box. The
standard terminal box cover mounting screws are adequate as potential bonding between
the terminal box cover and terminal box itself.
The equipotential bonding between the terminal box cover and the box enclosure is provided
by means of the standard cover mounting screws. A special external ground cable is only
installed if, for example, flat seals are mounted without additional support. When performing
any installation work you must always take care to ensure that all equipotential bonding
measures remain effective.

Final checks
Please check that:
• the electrical connections in the terminal box have been made in accordance with the
specifications above and tightened to the required tightening torque.
• the air gaps between non-insulated parts are maintained:
≥ 8 mm to 500 V, ≥ 10 mm to 660 V and ≥ 14 mm to 1000 V.
Pay attention to protruding wire ends.
• the connecting cables are laid in an open arrangement, so that the cable insulation
cannot be damaged during operation.
• the motor is connected up corresponding to the specified direction of rotation.
• the inside of the terminal box is clean and free of any cable pieces.
• all gaskets and seals are undamaged.
• unused openings in the terminal boxes are properly closed off.
• with U-shaped box enclosures the associated entry plate is aligned without any steps all
around and is screwed down.
• the pressure relief device must be undamaged (depending on the type of terminal box,
either cast-in slots or an overpressure diaphragm). Any damage may only be repaired
after prior discussion with the person responsible for the safety of the installation and only
by using original parts.
Then close the terminal box and tighten the terminal box cover screws to 22 Nm.

3.7 Connection to a converter

3.7 Connection to a converter

Avoiding bearing currents


When the motor is operated on a converter, insulated bearings are used in the motor. The
bearing insulation must not be bridged. Damage may be caused to the bearings if there is a
flow of current. Make sure that in addition to the grounding of the motor via the solid PE
conductor, the radio-frequency grounding is supplemented with braided flat copper cables or
RF stranded conductors with contacting on a large surface area. Solid copper cables are not
suitable for RF grounding because of the skin effect.

Selecting and connecting the cable


Use symmetrically constructed, shielded connection cables to connect the motor to a
converter. The cable shielding, made up of as many strands as possible, must have good
electrical conductivity. Braided shields made of copper or aluminum are well suited. The
shield must be connected at both ends to the motor and the converter; unshielded cable
ends must be kept as short as possible. To ensure good discharging of high-frequency
currents, provide contacting over a large surface area. 360° contacting is required at the
converter and the motor, for example by means of EMC screwed glands at the cable entry
ports.

Measures to reduce bearing currents


In order to specifically reduce and prevent damage caused by bearing currents, you must
consider the system as a whole, made up of the motor, converter and driven machine.
Important points which help to prevent bearing currents include:
• Setting up a properly meshed grounding system in the system as a whole, with low
impedance for high-frequency currents
• No potential difference between the motor, converter, and working machine.
– Use symmetrical, shielded connection cables.
– Connect the cable shield at both ends with the greatest possible surface area (360°
contact).
– Use equipotential bonding conductors between the motor and the driven machine, the
motor and the converter, within the motor, as well as between the terminal boxes and
the HF grounding position on the motor housing.
• Attaching iron cores above the motor connection cable at the converter output (selection
and dimensioning through your Siemens sales partner)
• Insulation of a motor bearing
• Limit the voltage rate of rise by using an output filter to dampen harmonic components in
the output voltage
• Implement common-mode filter by employing damping cores to reduce common-mode
components

cases a sufficiently dimensioned parallel PE conductor needs to be installed. This can then
be connected to the ground terminal positioned on the motor enclosure. [ID 612]

Safety note
Warning
Only expert persons should be entrusted with work on power installations.
All covers which are designed to prevent active or rotating parts from being touched, or
which are necessary to ensure correct air guidance and thus effective cooling, must be
installed prior to commissioning.

Checking the insulation resistance


Caution
The insulation resistance needs to be checked prior to startup and again after any extended
periods of storage or periods during which the equipment is not in operation. Before you
begin measuring the insulation resistance, please read the manual for the insulation
resistance meter you are going to use. Any cables of the main circuit which are already
connected should be disconnected from the terminals in order to carry out the insulation
measurements.

Warning
During the measurement, and immediately afterwards, some of the terminals are at
hazardous voltage levels and must not be touched. Carry out a check with the power cables
connected that no voltage can be applied.

Preferably measure the insulation resistance of the winding to the motor enclosure when the
winding temperature is between 20 and 30°C. Different insulation resistance values apply at
other temperatures. When making the measurement, you must wait until the final resistance
value is reached (approx. 1 minute).

4.1 Preparations

Limit values
The following table indicates the measuring circuit voltage together with the minimum
insulation resistance and the critical insulation resistance.

Minimum insulation resistance with new, cleaned or 10 MΩ

Critical specific insulation resistance after a long operating 0.5 MΩ/kV
time

(values apply at a winding temperature of 25°C)


Note the following points:
• If the measurements are performed at winding temperatures other than 25°C, the
measured value will need to be converted to the reference temperature of 25°C in order
to be able to compare the values with the table above. The insulation resistance is
reduced by a factor of a half for every 10 K increase in temperature, and it is increased by
a factor of two for every 10 K decrease in temperature.
• New, dry windings have an insulation resistance of between
100 and 2000 MΩ, or even higher values, if required. If the insulation resistance is close
to the minimum value, then the cause could be humidity and/or dirt accumulation.
• Over its operating lifetime, the motor winding insulation resistance can drop due to
ambient and operational influences. The critical insulation resistance for a 25°C winding
temperature can be calculated, depending on the rated voltage, by multiplying the rated
voltage (kV) by the specific critical resistance value (0.5 MΩ/kV);
e.g. critical resistance for a rated voltage (UN) 690 V:
690 V x 0.5 MΩ/kV = 0.345 MΩ

Notice
If the critical insulation resistance is less than or equal to this value, the windings must be
dried or, if the fan is removed, cleaned thoroughly and dried.
Please note that the insulation resistance of dried, clean windings is lower than that of
warm windings. The insulation resistance can only be properly assessed after conversion
to the reference temperature of 25°C.

Notice
If the measured value is close to the critical value, the insulation resistance should be
subsequently checked at appropriately frequent intervals. [ID 612.01]

4.6 Switching on

Measures during commissioning


The following measures are normally recommended after installation or inspection work for
standard commissioning of the motors:
• Start the motor without a load; to do this, close the circuit-breaker and preferably do not
switch it off prematurely. Switching the motor back off again while it is starting up and still
running at slow speed should be kept to a bare minimum, for example for checking the
direction of rotation or for checking the operation of the motor. Allow the machine to run
to a standstill before switching it back on again.
• Check the mechanical operation for noises or vibrations at the bearings and bearing end
shields.
• If the motor does not run smoothly and/or there are any abnormal noises, switch it off and
determine the cause as it slows down.
• If the mechanical operation improves immediately after switching the motor off, then the
cause is magnetic or electrical. If the mechanical operation does not improve immediately
after switching the motor off, then the cause is mechanical: e.g. an imbalance in the
electrical machines or in the driven machine, inadequate alignment of the machine set,
operation of the machine with the system resonating (system = motor, base frame,
foundation etc.).
• If the motor runs perfectly in terms of its mechanical operation, switch on any present
cooling devices and continue to monitor the motor for a while as it idles.
• If it runs perfectly connect a load. Check that it runs smoothly, and read off and document
the values for voltage, current and power. As far as possible, read off and document the
corresponding values for the driven machine as well.

4.7 Deactivation

Warning
The vibration values encountered during operation must be satisfied in accordance with
DIN ISO 10816-3, as otherwise the motor could be damaged or destroyed.

• Monitor and document the temperatures of the bearings, windings etc. until the system
reaches a steady state, in as much as this is possible with the available measuring
equipment. [ID 718.01]

4.7 Deactivation

Measures during de-energizing


If the corresponding control action does not take place automatically, switch on the anti-
condensation heating if present.
You must not switch on the anti-condensation heating until at least one hour after the motor
has been switched off. This prevents damage to the winding insulation. [ID 618.01]

5.1 Safety instructions

Energizing the motor with anti-condensation heating (optional)


Caution
Before energizing the motor, always make sure that the (optional) anti-condensation heating
is switched off.

Operating machines
Warning
All covers which are designed to prevent active or rotating parts from being touched, or
which are necessary to ensure correct air guidance and thus effective cooling, must not be
opened during operation.
All deviations from normal operation (higher power consumption, temperature or vibration
level, unusual noises or odors, tripped monitoring devices, etc.) are indications that the
motor is no longer functioning correctly. In this case, the maintenance engineer must be
immediately notified in order to prevent disturbances that could either directly or indirectly
lead to severe personal injury or substantial material damage. If in doubt, power down the
motor immediately in accordance with the system-specific safety requirements!

Caution
The surfaces of the machines can reach high temperatures, which can lead to burns if
touched. That is why appropriate measures against accidental contact must be taken.

Cleaning
To ensure proper functioning of the machine cooling system, the air ducts must be free of
pollution (grilles, ducts, ribs, pipes).

5.2 Stoppages

Caution
With varying machine temperatures, humid air can condense inside the machine. Depending
on the environmental and operating conditions, therefore, remove the condensation water
plug to drain the water. Afterwards, reinsert the plug. [ID 619.1]

5.2 Stoppages

Overview
If the motor remains out of service for an extended period of time (> 1 month), it should be
started up about once a month or at least the rotor should be turned. Refer to the instructions
in the "Energizing" section before restarting the motor. If a rotor locking device has been
fitted to the motor, you must remove it before you spin the rotor.

Caution
If the motor is not to be used for a period in excess of 12 months, suitable anti-corrosion,
mothballing, packaging and drying measures must be taken.

Switching on the anti-condensation heating


If an anti-condensation heating is provided, switch it on during the machine stoppages.
You must not switch on the anti-condensation heating during stoppages until at least one
hour after the motor has been switched off. This prevents damage to the winding insulation.

Taking the machine out of service


For details of required measures see "Transport, Storage" section.

Shaft grounding device


If non-standard shaft grounding devices are used at the non-drive end shaft end/bearing unit
with brushes in a design that is not encapsulated and sealed, corrosion can occur on the
brush track (shaft) during lengthy stoppages. The corrosion must be removed the machine is
put (back) into operation.

Instructions relevant to safety


Warning
Before starting any work on the motors ensure that the plant or system has been
deenergized and locked-out against re-closure in full compliance with all of the appropriate
specifications and regulations. In addition to the main phases, also ensure that
supplementary and auxiliary circuits are also deenergized, especially the anti-condensation
heating!
Certain parts of the motor may reach temperatures above 50°C. Physical contact with the
motor could result in burn injuries! Check the temperature of parts before touching them.
When cleaning the motor with compressed air, ensure that suitable exhaustion measures
are used and you use personal protective gear (goggles, face mask/filter or similar)!
If chemical cleaning agents are used, observe the instructions and any warnings. Chemical
agents must be compatible with the motor's components/parts, especially when they contain
plastics.

6.1.2 Regreasing intervals for rolling-contact bearings, grease type

Grease types
The regreasing intervals and the grease types are stated on the lubrication instruction plate
of the motor. The motor must be regreased at least once every 12 months. The greasing
instructions can be found on the lubrication instruction plate.
For the standard range of applications, a grease for temperatures down to -20 °C is normally
used for the initial greasing of the bearings. If the motors were ordered for use in the
extended temperature range of below -20 °C, the permissible type of grease is indicated on
the lubrication instruction plate. The following high-quality greases for rolling-contact
bearings are suitable and tested for temperatures down to -20 °C.

Table 6-1 Suitable greases for rolling-contact bearings (down to -20 °C)

K3N-greases

ARAL / Aralub 4340


DEA / Glissando 30
ESSO / Beacon 3
ESSO / Unirex N3
FUCHS / Renolit FWA 220
SHELL / Alvania RL3
WINTERSHALL / Wiolub LFK 3

These greases have Lithium soap as thickening agent and mineral oil as the base oil. They
exceed the standard requirements of DIN 51825 in several important respects, and are
therefore compatible with the specified regreasing intervals.
If other K3N greases are used, that possibly only fulfill the minimum requirements laid down
in DIN 51825 the greasing intervals have to be halved.

Caution
Greases with different thickening agents and base oils must not be mixed.

Relubrication
For regreasing, clean the grease nipples and press in, portion by portion, the appropriate
quantity of the suitable grease as per greasing instruction plate. The shaft must rotate so that
the new grease can be distributed throughout the bearing. The bearing temperature rises
sharply at first, then drops to the normal value again when the excess grease is displaced
out of the bearing. The space for the spent grease is desgined for at least 10 regreasing
sessions. To remove the spent grease, loosen the outer bearing cap. Escaping oil at the
bearing or oil escaping during regreasing is an indicator that the space for the spent grease
has been over-filled.

Warning
Whenever you work on the locating bearing when the three-phase motor is in its vertical
position, support/unload the rotor. [ID 633]

6.1.3 Regreasing with sealing grease (option for increased degree of protection)

Relubricating with sealing grease


In order to achieve optimum sealing and to reliably seal the labyrinth joints with grease, the
chamber must be relubricated at regular intervals. The procedure is the same as that for
lubricating grease. The necessary relubrication intervals depend essentially on the level of
dirt in the environment and on the ON time of the motor. For this reason, they can only be
defined taking into account the respective operating conditions.
The sealing effect during operation is optimum as long as a small amount of relatively clean
grease is forced out. At the very latest, the chamber must be relubricated when no more
grease escapes through the joints. The relubrication intervals during stoppages can be
extended accordingly as long as the sealing grease forced out during relubrication is
relatively free of dirt. [ID 129]

6.2 Servicing

6.2.1 Servicing instructions

Faults
An inspection should be performed immediately in the event of faults or exceptional
operating conditions which represent an excessive load (either electrically or mechanically)
for the motor (e.g. overload, short circuit).

Instructions for inspecting rolling-contact bearings


When servicing a motor, it is generally not necessary to dismantle it. The motor only has to
be dismantled if the bearings are to be replaced.

Caution
The required regreasing intervals for rolling-contact bearings are not the same as the
servicing intervals. It is essential to adhere to them.

Operating Instructions 1LA831 ... 1LA845, 082006 6-3
Maintenance
6.2 Servicing

Caution
The spent-grease chambers of the rolling-contact bearings only have enough room to take
up a limited amount of spent grease. When the grease chamber is full, you must remove the
spent grease before relubricating, because it will otherwise escape into the inside of the
motor. Escaping oil at the bearing or oil escaping during regreasing is an indicator that the
space for the spent grease is full. [ID 53]

6.2.2 First service after installation or corrective maintenance

Service criteria
After approximately 500 operating hours, at the latest after 1 year
• check, while the motor is running, that:
– the equipment conforms to the stated electrical characteristics.
– the permissible bearing temperatures are not exceeded.
– the smooth running characteristics and motor noise in operation have not deteriorated.
• check, while the motor is at standstill, that:
– the motor foundation has no indentations or cracks
Further checks may be required in addition as a result of additional operating instructions or
in accordance with the plant-specific conditions. Any impermissible discrepancies or
changes found during the checks must be rectified immediately. [ID 56]

6.2.3 Main service

Service criteria
After approximately 16,000 operating hours, at the latest after 2 years
• check, while the motor is running, that:
– the equipment conforms to the stated electrical characteristics.

Note
If the motor has to be transported, please observe the information and instructions in the
"Transport, storage" section.

Warning
When working on the locating bearing when the motor is in its vertical position, support the
rotor.
Pay attention to the following points when attaching rotors: the centering recesses in the
shaft ends have a recessed thread, i.e. DIN 580 eye-bolts are unsuitable because only a few
threads would be engaged. Depending on the weight of the rotor and the direction of the
load, it may be necessary to use other suitable elements with an engagement length > 0.8
times the thread diameter. [ID 622.101]

6.3.2 Dismantling

overview
The drawings and part lists do not include any detailed data about the type and dimensions
of the fixing elements, etc.; when dismantling the motor, you should therefore make a note of
where the parts belong and label them so that they can be easily reassembled.
Use pullers or suitable devices to disassemble parts and components attached to the motor
shaft. Before you pull off screwed parts and components, replace two of the fixing screws in
the top of the parts to be removed by long bolts or stud bolts, so that the parts are still
supported after they have been removed.

6.3.3 Dismantling instructions

Fans
Plastic radial fan impellers have two integrally molded tongues which engage with the
circumferential groove of the shaft to provide axial fixing. Before the impeller is pulled out,
these tongues must be disengaged and provisionally arrested in the raised position, e.g. by
means of inserted shim plates. The fan discs each have two openings for the insertion of a
pull-off device, which should be applied so as to act on the hub. Always use the appropriate
tool for pulling fan impellers. Do not use a hammer.

Bearing units
We recommend that you label the components that comprise the active part of the bearing to
ensure correct assembly.

labyrinth ring when pulling it off.
[ID 640.01]

6.3.4 Re-assembly

Sealing
Clean and coat the bare joints between the parts and components (e.g. between frames, end
shields and bearing units) with a non-hardening, permanently flexible sealing compound, e.g.
Hylomar MQ32 (follow the manufacturer's application and safety instructions!).
Check the existing sealing elements, e.g. at the terminal boxes. Renew them if they no
longer provide a proper seal.

Installation of the rolling-contact bearings


Before fitting the bearings, ensure that the parts and components to be located on the shaft
inside the bearing are fitted first.
Take great care and pay attention to cleanliness when fitting and assembling the bearings.
To fit the rolling-contact bearings, heat them up to about 80°C in oil or air and then press
them onto the shaft. Avoid any heavy blows that might damage the bearings. Fill the
bearings with the specified grease so that they are flush.

6.3.8 Bolt locking devices and tightening torques

Bolt locking devices


Nuts or bolts that are mounted together with locking, resilient and/or force-distributing
elements must be refitted together with identical, fully functional elements. Always renew
positive-action locking elements.
Threads which are secured with liquid plastic must be treated accordingly when they are
tightened, e.g. using Loctite 243. Fixing bolts with a clamping length less than 25 mm must
be reinstalled using suitable retaining elements or soluble locking compound (e.g. Loctite).
The clamping length is taken as the distance between the head of the bolt and the point at
which the bolt is screwed in.

Tightening torques
The bolted connections with metal contact surfaces (end shields, bearing cartridge parts,
terminal box parts bolted onto the stator frame) should be tightened to the following torques,
depending on the thread size.

Table 6-3 Tightening torques (tolerance ± 10%)

M4 M5 M6 M8 M10 M12 M16 M20 M24


A 1,2 2,5 4 8 13 20 40 - - Nm

C 3 5 8 20 40 70 170 340 600 Nm

The tightening torques in the different rows apply to the following cases:
• Case A
applies to electrical connections in which the permissible tightening torque is normally
limited by the bolt materials and/or the load-bearing capacity of the insulators (with the
exception of the busbar connections in case B).
• Case B
applies to bolts/screws of property class 5.6 (acc. to ISO 898-1) or to bolts in components
of lower strength (e.g. aluminum).
• Case C
applies to bolts/screws of property class 8.8 or A4-70 (acc. to ISO 898-1), but only in
screwed connections of higher strength (e.g. gray cast iron, steel or cast steel).
Please refer to the relevant sections and drawings for all other tightening torques (electrical
connections and bolted connections for parts with flat gaskets). [ID 78]
