Item-ID: 27875444
1 Transport and storage

Only use the openings, lifting lugs and elements provided on the
baseplates to transport machine sets (e.g. motor and coupled load)! It is not
permissible to lift machine sets by just suspending them from the individual
machines or motors! Carefully check the load capability of the hoisting
equipment or crane being used to ensure that it is suitable!
Individual motors may only be suspended from their main lifting lugs or rails
provided for this purpose! Lifting equipment and cranes must be
dimensioned and selected corresponding to the motor weight (for motors
from shaft height 180 onwards, the weight is stamped on the rating plate).
If the motors have additional mounted equipment, then please use suitable
cable routing or spreader devices.
If secondary lifting lugs are provided – e.g. on fan shrouds, mounted

coolers etc. – then these are only suitable for lifting that particular individual
component.
1.1 Rotor shipping brace
Motors, e.g. with cylindrical roller bearings, individual angular-contact ball

bearings or sleeve bearings, have an axial rotor shipping brace. This avoids
bearing damage during transport. This rotor shipping brace may only be
removed just before attaching the drive output element. If the motor has to
be transported after the drive output element has been attached, other
suitable measures must be applied to axially retain the rotor in place.
For motors with a vertical type of construction with individual angular-
contact ball bearings, then the rotor must be retained before the motor is
brought into a horizontal position.

1.2 Short-time storage
If a motor isn’t commissioned immediately, then it must be stored in a dry

room or area that is free of any vibration. Details are, for example, provided
in the corresponding Operating Manuals.
1.3 Long-time storage
Motors that are to be stored for a longer period of time, must be stored in a
dry, well ventilated room or area (the atmosphere must be free of any
aggressive gases such as ammoniac, chlorine, sulfur etc.). This room or
area must, as far as possible, be free of dust and vibration. The relative air

Item-ID: 27875444
humidity must be kept below 60% and the temperature approximately 10°C
above the outside temperature. The motors must be well covered.
If storage rooms or areas are not available with the characteristics specified
above, then the motor must be completely wrapped in a polyethylene foil
and the seams of this foil must be welded or glued so that they are
absolutely airtight. Several bags of desiccant must also be placed in the
polyethylene foil to absorb the water vapor that penetrates through the foil.
The appropriate number of desiccant bags must be suspended within the
airtight packaging and a humidity indicating device must be provided inside
the sealed packaging. This device measures the humidity of the air in the
packaging in four stages. The desiccant must be monitored and if required,
replaced.
For motors with condensation water drain holes, the plugs must be
removed from time to time so that the condensation water - that has
accumulated in the motor - can drain out.

The shaft end has a special coating to protect it against corrosion. This
protective coating must be checked at regular intervals and if required
replaced.
If the time between shipping the motor and commissioning it – under
favorable conditions (where the motor is stored in a dry room or area that is
free of dust and vibration) for more than 3 years, or under unfavorable
conditions for more than 18 months, the bearings must be replaced or re-
lubricated.
For motors with sleeve bearings, the oil reservoir of the sleeve bearing
must be emptied. Open the bearings, remove the bearing shells, apply an
anti-corrosion agent – e.g. Tectyl 506 – to the bare bearing components,
bearing shells and bearing journals of the shaft and then re-assemble the
bearings.

2 Commissioning
2.1 Preparation
After mounting or carrying-out service work, please check or ensure that:
• The motor was mounted and the operating conditions with the
associated data match the data on the motor rating plate (voltages,
currents, circuit configuration, type of construction, degree of protection,
cooling etc.; also refer to the documentation supplied with the motor)
• As a result of the appropriately designed open-loop control and speed
monitoring it is absolutely ensured that the motor cannot reach speeds
that are higher than that stamped on the rating plate,
• The motor is correctly mounted and aligned
• The drive output elements, depending on their particular type have

been correctly set and adjusted (e.g. belt tension for belt outputs; tooth
edge and crest clearance for gearwheel output; aligning and balancing
of couplings; radial play, axial guidance and the correct axial position for
couplings of motors with sleeve bearings with two floating bearings)
• The minimum insulation resistances are maintained (this also applies
after longer periods of time where the motor was not operational), refer
to Point 1.4
• The motor is connected corresponding to the specified direction of
rotation
• The cooling air flow is correct and not restricted - and the warm air
discharged from the motor (also from adjacent equipment) isn’t directly
drawn-in again,
• There is sufficient clearance between the cooling air input and
wall/panel (e.g. ≥1/4 x diameter of the air intake opening)
• All retaining screws/bolts and connecting elements as well as electrical
connections are correctly tightened,
• The grounding and potential bonding conductor connections are
correctly established,
• Depending on the version, the bearings have been appropriately re-
lubricated and have sufficient oil supply according to that stamped on
the rating plate,
• For a newly installed motor that can be re-lubricated, or after a longer
period when it was not operational, immediately after commissioning,
the bearings must be re-lubricated at a minimum speed of n > 300 RPM
• If bearings are insulated, the insulation is not bypassed (the bearing
insulation is stamped on the rating plate),

Item-ID: 27875444
• Possible additional equipment (temperature monitoring in the winding or

bearings, anti-condensation heating etc.) have been correctly
connected and are functional
• All protective measures against moving or live (under voltage) parts
have been applied and if the second shaft end is unused, its keys are
secured so that they cannot be flung out
• If a separately-driven fan is being used, this is ready to operate and is
connected corresponding to the specified direction of rotation and when
operational, does not have a negative impact on the smooth running
characteristics of the motor
• If brakes are being used, then they must have been carefully checked
to ensure that they are operating perfectly,
• If air-to-water cooling is being used (e.g. heat exchanger), the this must
have been connected to a water supply, filled, vented and is ready for
operation (this also applies after longer periods where the motor was
not operational).
NOTE: This list cannot be complete and extensive. Additional tests and checks
may be necessary according to the appropriate supplementary instructions,
or may be necessary corresponding to the specific situation at the plant or
system.
2.2 Power-on
After motors have been mounted or service carried-out, we recommend

that the following procedure is adhered to when commissioning motors:
• Start the motor without any load connected; to do this, close the circuit-
breaker and after the motor starts, open the circuit-breaker again
(“briefly start the motor” and check the direction of rotation)
• As the motor coasts down, check for bearing noise and vibration and
check the bearing end shields.
• When the motor runs perfectly from a mechanical perspective, power-
up the motor again and accelerate it up the highest permissible speed
(according to that stamped on the rating plate).
• If the motor runs roughly or omits abnormal noise, power-down the
motor and as the motor coasts down, evaluate the cause of the
problems.

Item-ID: 27875444
• If, immediately after the motor is powered-down, the mechanical

running characteristics improve, then the reason for the problem is
either magnetic or electrical. If the mechanical running characteristics
do not improve after the motor is powered-down, then the cause is
mechanical: For example, the electric motor or driven load could be out
of balance, the machine set (motor plus driven load) is not correctly
aligned.
• If the motor runs perfectly smoothly, if cooling equipment is being used,
then power it up now (separately-driven fan, water cooler etc.).
Continue to monitor the motor for some time under-no load operating
conditions.
NOTE: Appropriately shorten the time for which the motor is powered-up if, for the
“preliminary” test run, the separately-driven fan is still not to be operated.
• If the motor runs perfectly, connect the load to the motor. Check that the
motor still continues to run smoothly and read-off and document the
voltage, current, and power values. If at all possible, read-off and
document the appropriate values for the driven load.
• Monitor the temperature of the bearings, windings etc. until steady-state
values have been reached, document these values – if possible, using
the available test and measuring equipment.
2.3 Powering-down
For motors, open the circuit-breaker and allow the motor to coast down
unbraked.
If a separately-driven fan and cooling system are being used – and are not
automatically controlled - then power them down and power-up the anti-
condensation heating.

3 Maintenance Instructions for standard LV Motors

3.1 Safety instructions
Before carrying-out any type of work on the motor (especially before

opening covers on the active parts), carefully ensure that the motor and/or
the plant is powered-down and disconnected from the line supply in
compliance with the applicable regulations. The safety rules listed in the
Operating Instructions should be especially carefully observed. In addition
to the main circuits, it is also important that any supplementary or auxiliary
circuits are also powered-down – especially anti-condensation heating
circuits!
The usual “5 safety rules” are as follows:

– Power-down and disconnect,

– Lock-out against accidental reclosure,

– Check and ensure that the system really is in a no-voltage condition,
– Ground and short-circuit (for voltage above 1000 V),
– Partition-off or cover adjacent, active parts and components.
3.2 Maintenance intervals
• Carry-out service & maintenance work carefully and at regular intervals

• Carry-out the appropriate inspections and audits in order to be able to
identify possible faults and disturbances early on and resolve these
before damage actually occurs.
• Adapt the service & maintenance intervals to the operating conditions
and the local situation (pollution, power-on frequency, load, brush wear,
insulation resistance).
• Carefully observe the re-lubrication intervals that are stamped on the
rating plate.

e) Main inspection Approx. every 16.000 h 2 years
3.3 Carrying-out an inspection
When carrying-out any inspection work, all of the appropriate safety

regulations must be carefully complied with. Only specialist personnel who
have been adequately trained may carry-out inspection work.
When operational, check that

• The specified technical data are maintained, for example
– Power drain,
– Temperatures (winding, environment, bearings, cooling air),
• No leaks occur (oil, grease or possibly water),
• Motor vibration levels remain below the highest permissible value (refer
to 1.6),
• No abnormal bearing running noise can be heard (if required, carry-out
an SPM measurement).
When stationary, check that

• The foundation is free of depressions and cracks,
• The motor alignment lies within permissible tolerances ,
• All of the mounting/retaining screws/bolts for mechanical as well as
electrical connections are tight,
• The winding insulation resistance is adequately high (refer to 1.3),

Item-ID: 27875444
• If insulated bearings are being used then the insulation is not bypassed
(if insulated bearings are being used this is stamped on the rating
plate),
• Cables and insulating parts, where accessible, are in an acceptable
state and there are no signs of discoloring.
Generally, when carrying-out standard inspections, it isn’t necessary to

disassemble motors. It only becomes necessary to disassemble the motor
when cleaning it or when replacing the bearings.

Item-ID: 27875444
4 Checking the insulation resistance

The insulation resistance is a measure for the insulating capability of the
insulation of live (under voltage) parts and components with respect to
ground and/or with respect to one another.
If the insulating resistance is too low, then this can be due to poor
implementation, damage, accumulated dirt or moisture condensation on the
insulation. A voltage check may only be carried-out when the insulation
resistance is adequately high.
The safety rules according to EN 50110-1 (VDE 0105) - Operation of
electrical plants and equipment and the appropriate Operating Instructions
of the measuring and test equipment must be carefully observed when
measuring the insulation value.
4.1 Preparation
All of the external feeder cables must be disconnected before measuring

the insulation resistance. If electronic components are installed and cannot
be subject to the specified DC test voltage – e.g. diodes, lightening/surge
arresters and capacitors – then these must be disconnected before the
measurements are carried-out. If so specified they should also be short-
circuited.
4.2 Execution
The DC test voltage must be connected between the live (under voltage)
parts or components to be tested or with respect to ground. The DC test
voltage should be connected long enough until the display practically no
longer changes. For motors, depending on the size (power rating) and
winding capacitance, this state can be achieved in between just a few
seconds and up to one minute. The DC test voltage is 500 V DC.
4.3 Values
Generally, the winding insulation resistances have a non-linear function

with respect to the DC test voltage and the winding temperature. This is the
reason that it should be carefully noted that reproducible results can only
be achieved under precisely the same test conditions.

Item-ID: 27875444
Nominal values for minimum insulating resistances of reasonably new

windings are listed in the following table. Generally, the actual insulation
resistances are significantly higher.
Rated voltage Minimum insulation resistance for a 500 V DC test voltage

At 25°C At 75°C
VN < 2 kV 10 MΩ 0.33 MΩ
VN ≥ 2 kV 100 MΩ 3.33 MΩ
While the motor is operational, the winding insulation resistance can

decrease as a result of environmental and operating effects.
For a winding temperature of 25°C, the critical value of the insulation
resistance is, depending on the rated voltage, obtained by multiplying the
rated voltage in kV by the specific, critical resistance value of

0.5 MΩ/kV at VN < 2 kV

5 MΩ/kV at VN > 2 kV
Example:
VN = 660 V Risol. > 0.66 kV x 0.5 MΩ/kV = 0.33 MΩ
If the measured insulation resistance lies above the calculated (theoretical)

critical value while operational, then the machine can continue to be
operated.
The minimum value of the insulation resistance Ris is related to
temperature. This is the reason that for different winding temperatures, it is
necessary to convert the insulation resistance. For clean, dry (hardened)
windings, the insulation resistance Ris should be converted so that 10K
temperature increase halves the insulation resistance Ris and a 10K
temperature decrease doubles the insulation resistance Ris (10°C rule).

Item-ID: 27875444
Example 1:
The measured winding insulation resistance on a winding temperature of
85°C is 0.1 MΩ.
Referring to a winding temperature of 25°C, according to the 10°C rule, this
corresponds to a value of 6.4 MΩ (see table)
0,1 MΩ 0,2 MΩ 0,4 MΩ 0,8 MΩ 1,6 MΩ 3,2 MΩ 6,4 MΩ

85°C 75°C 65°C 55°C 45°C 35°C 25°C
Example 2:
The measured winding insulation resistance on a winding temperature of
10°C is 200 MΩ.

Referring to a winding temperature of 25°C, according to the 10°C rule, this

corresponds to a value of 200 MΩ (see table)
200 MΩ 100 MΩ 75 MΩ
10°C 20°C 25°C
Minimum insulating resistances for parts that are integrated in the motor or
mounted on the motor:
Temperature sensor: 500 MΩ

Anti-condensation heating 1 MΩ
Other accessories: 100 MΩ
Insulated bearings 1 MΩ (100 V DC test voltage)

L - lower operating temperature, e.g. 30L = -30°C
As a result of the selected re-lubricating intervals, the permissible upper temperature at which the grease is used should be a
minimum of 20 K above the bearing operating temperature.

Item-ID: 27875444
5.2 Lubrication and relubrication intervals
For motors that can be re-lubricated (i.e. they have regreasing equipment),
as a result of defined re-lubrication intervals, the bearing lifetime can be
extended and/or unfavorable influencing factors such as temperature, the
effects of mounting, speed, bearing size and mechanical load/stress can be
compensated. From shaft height 280 and upwards, bearings can be
relubricated using a flat lubricating nipple M10 x 1 according to DIN 3404.
Bearings can be relubricated using an optional nipple for shaft heights 100
to 250 (K40).
Motors with bearings that can be relubricated always have a lubrication
instruction plate. This has information about the lubricating grease type, the
regreasing interval and quantity of grease required for each lubrication
point.
The specified grease change intervals apply for operation under normal
load conditions, operation at speeds that correspond to those stamped on

the rating plate, low-vibration operation, essentially neutral ambient air and
the use of high-quality rolling bearing grease specified on the re-lubrication
instruction plate (original lubrication).
K3N-Li or K3P-Li greases are to grease bearings of standard motors for

the first time:

Item-ID: 27875444
Motors 1LA6, 1LA8 – K3N-Li

Grease SHELL Alvania RL3 (old G3)

Only use suitable and tested, high-quality

K3N greases
roller bearing greases to re-lubricate bearings.
ARAL / Aralub 4340 Only re-lubricate the bearings when the motor
has a speed of at least n > 300 RPM.
DEA / Glissando 30
These greases have lithium soap as
ESSO / Beacon 3 thickening agent and mineral-based oil as
Fuchs / Renolit FWA 220 basic oil. When using other K3N greases that
may only comply with the minimum
SHELL / Alvania RL3 (old requirements according to DIN 51825 then the
G3) lubricating intervals must be halved.
SHELL / Alvania R 3

Caution: Greases may never be mixed with different thickening agents and
basic oils!
Motors 1LG4/6,1LA5/7/9 - K3P-Li

grease ESSO UNIREX N3
K3P grease Grease lifetimes and relubrication intervals

are only valid in conjunction with this grease
type.
ESSO UNIREX N3 Other greases must, as a minimum, comply
with DIN 51825-KL3N (refer to the Table
above). In this case, the lubricating intervals
for KT >25°C should be reduced. Only re-
lubricate bearings when the motor has a
speed of at least n > 300 RPM.
Special greases
Special greases are specified on the lubrication instruction plate. For
instance, Klueberquiet BQH72-102 is used for high-speed motors that are
fed from drive converters. This is grease with synthetic oil base that cannot
be mixed with standard greases (mineral oil).
