OPERATION MANUAL
Safety operating conditions for low voltage three phase asynchronous slip-ring motors
type AIM 100-280 and AIFM 100-180 according to EEC Relevant Directives
These motors have active parts (under voltage), components in rotation and
possible hot surfaces. All the works during conveying, installing, commissioning
and maintenance shall be done by authorized, skilled, technical personnel. The
improper performing of these works can bring about accidents and/or material
losses. The non-observance of the provisions of this Operation Manual annuls
any liability from the producer for the possible accidents and material losses
occurred and in warranty period the non-observance of these provisions brings
also about the warranty expiry of the product (motor).

4. Instrumentation
When commissioning and within the maintenance works it is required the following
instrumentation:
- Mega-ohmmeter of 1000 V for measuring the insulation strength
- Voltmeter for checking the supply voltage
- Ammeter for measuring currents on phase
- Tachometer for measuring the rotation speed
hexagonal seat, ball-bearings extraction presses, etc. All these do not belong to UMEB-SA
supply.
5.2 The spare parts are delivered at the request of the beneficiary. The list of spare parts is
shown in Appendix 4. At the same time, at the request of beneficiary there can be also
offered as spare parts some other marks or subassemblies.
Warning!
- Motors shall not be dried by short-circuiting!
- Motors shall not be dried by blocking the rotor when the motor is supplied with
electric voltage!
The drying is considered to be satisfactorily in the moment when the value of the insulation
strength remains constant but not lower than 50 MΩ.
6.2.4 The checking up of greasing state of ball-bearings is made with motor in no-load
running. If there are found out abnormal noises at ball-bearings, local heatings or a tendency
to their blocking, then the tight ball-bearings are replaced and at the others it is replaced the
grease that shall be of UM 185 Li3 or Shell Alvania R3 – type. If the phenomenon persists,
these shall be also replaced.

6.7.2 The coupling with driven mechanism must be rightly performed. It shall be paid a
special attention to alignment of rotation axis of motor with the rotation axis of the driven
mechanism in order to be avoided the emerging of vibrations, noises and additional loads at
the motor shaft and in its ball-bearings.
6.7.3 The screws and nuts providing the electric contacts should be tightened with values of
tightening couplings according to table 6.7.3, and the earthing should be rightly made.
6.7.4 All the parts bearing current should be covered, insulated and protected against
touching with hand.
6.7.5 All the connecting apparatus should be on „0” or „disconnected” position.
6.7.6 The apertures of fan bonnet should not be obturated.
6.7.7 The starting rheostat should be connected to the 3 terminals of brush-holder and it
should be on the maximum position of resistance.
6.7.8 The brushes should make a very good contact with the 3 collecting rings. The brushes
are chosen in such a way so that not to wear excessively the collecting rings. The brushes
shall be changed in the moment when their wearing reached approximately 50% from their
height.
- After checking the observance of all these conditions it is made a testing start-up in no-load
running for 3 hours of continuous running. In this case, it must be noticed and checked if

there are not abnormal noises because of some abnormal frictions of parts. A special
attention shall be paid to brush-collecting ring sliding contacts.
- At the same time there shall be checked the vibrations of motor and the heatings of ball-
bearings.
- After continuous no-load running as test, it is required to be made a number of 10....15
start-ups and direction reversals (also in no-load) with the starting rheostat on the maximum
value of resistance.
If, at the test operations, the motor is working normally, without noises and abnormal
vibrations, then the motor can be commissioned.

Observation:
For AIFM-type motors the check-ups and the adjustment of brakes shall be made according
to adjusting and operating instructions of brakes, depending on brake type the motor is
equipped with, enclosed to this Technical Book.
8. Motor Dismounting
The motor dismounting shall be made according to Appendices 1 , 2 and 3 depending on the
specified motor type.
Warning! Do not dismount motors when they are under electric voltage.
8.1 Change of Brushes
- It is dismounted the cap of terminal box.
- There are lifted the levers that push down and press the brushes.
- With a hexagonal spanner there are unscrewed and dismounted the clips of the
connections of the brushes on the brush-holder terminals.
- The brushes are removed and replaced with brushes of the same type supplied by UMEB-
SA.
8.2 Dismounting the Brush-Holder Subassembly
- The brushes are taken out of brush-holder cases.
- Then, the brush-holder subassembly is dismounted by complete unscrewing of the two
fastening screws from its ends.
- When mounting (replacing) the whole brush-holder subassembly, this one shall be
positioned (adjusted) in such a way so that all the brushes should make a good contact with
the collecting rings but, at the same time, not to be contacts between the insulating rings and
the steady parts of the brush-holder that can be materialized in frictions and noises during
working.
8.2 Fan Dismounting
- It is dismounted the fan bonnet after having previously dismounted the lubricator at the
devices at which the ball-bearings can be lubricated during working.
- It is removed the retaining ring.
- It is extracted the fan on shaft end and up to fan by means of an adequate extractor.
8.3 Rotor Dismounting
- The dismounting is made in the order shown in Appendices 1, 2 and 3.
- The traction shields and the fan are removed from housing either by means of a special
press with tie rods and central screw or manually. The extraction is made slightly pulling the
shield equally being thus avoided the damage of joining surfaces or the damage of ball-
bearings.
8.4 Ball Bearing Dismounting
For dismounting the ball bearings on shaft it shall be used a claw press.
8.5 Dismounting the Subassembly of Collecting Rings
- After dismounting the fan ball bearing it is removed the safety device of the collecting ring
subassembly.
- There are unscrewed the clips of the connections of the rotor winding on the three contact
lamellae of the collecting rings by means of a hexagonal spanner.
- It is extracted the collecting ring subassembly by extracting also by means of a press.
8.6 Brake Dismounting (only in case of AIFM-type motors)
- Before dismounting (mechanically) the brake there shall be removed its electric
connections.
- Then, there shall be removed the dowel pins that tighten the brake by unscrewing. After
dismounting the brake from the fan shield, the retaining ring (that fastens the brake driver to
