as axial and radial alignment of the shafts.
WARNING:
Excessive belt/chain tension will
damage the bearings and lead to a
probable shaft rupture.
Couplings used must be suitable to
withstand radial and axial vibrations during
operation. Special care must be taken to
avoid that the allowable load and speed
limit values showing in the catalogs are not
exceeded.
4.8 – Electrical Connection
Make sure the motor is connected to the
correct power supply.
 Voltage may be connected at motor
~ standstill inside the terminal box for
heating elements or direct winding
heating.
The capacitor on single-phase
motors can retain a charge which
~ appears across the motor terminals,
even when the motor has reached
standstill condition. So, avoid
touching them at such condition.
A wrong connection can
burn out the motor.
Voltage and connection are indicated on the
motor nameplate according to IEC 60034-1.
The acceptable voltage variation is ±5% and
the acceptable frequency variation is ±2%,
according Zone A - IEC
60034-1 Standard.
Note: For rated voltage range (multivoltage),
the acceptable variation is ± 5%.
4.9 - Starting Methods
The motor is rather started through direct
starting. In case this is not possible, use
compatible start methods to the motor load

When applying reduced voltage starting me-
thod, remember that the starting torque will
also reduce.

Rotation direction is clockwise when motor is
viewed from Drive Endshield side and if the
phases are connected according to sequence
L1, L2, L3. This phase sequence and power
system must be positive.
ENGLISH
To change the rotation direction, reverse two
of the connecting leads.
Note: For single-phase motor connections,
please check the motor nameplate.
The connection to the power
supply must be done by qualified
personnel and with full attention
to assure safe and permanent
connection. after connecting the
motor, check for any strange
body inside the terminal box. the
cable inlets not in use must be
closed.
Before energizing the terminals,
check if the grounding is made
according to the applicable
standards. this is essential to
avoid accidents.
4.10 – Protection Device
When the motor is supplied with protective
or monitor temperature device such
as thermostats, thermistors, thermal
protector etc, connect their terminals to the
corresponding devices on the control panel.
If this procedure is not followed accordingly,
warranty will be void.
Do not change protection devices settings as
they may not operate.

Notes:
The tables above are specifically intended
for relubrification with MOBIL Polyrex EM
grease and bearing absolute operating
temperature of:
 70ºC (158ºF) for 160 to 200 frame size
motors
 85ºC (185ºF) for 225 to 355 frame size
motors
For every 15ºC (59ºF) above these limits,
relubrification intervals must be reduced by
half. Shielded bearing (ZZ) are lubricated for
bearing life as long are they operate under
normal conditions and temperature of 70ºC
(158ºF).
 Relubrication periods given above are for
those cases applying MOBIL Polyrex ® EM
grease.
 When motors are used on the vertical
position, their relubrication intervals are
reduced by half if compared to horizontal
position motors.
 On applications with high or low
temperatures, speed variation etc., the type
11
of grease and relubrication intervals is given
on an nameplate attached to the motor.
We recommended to use ball
bearings for motors directly
coupled to the load
WARNING:
Excess of grease can cause
bearing overheating resulting
in complete damage.
5.1.3 - Compatibility of MOBIL Polirex EM
grease with other types of grease:
Containing polyurea thickener and mineral oil,
the MOBIL Polyrex EM grease is compatible
with other types of grease that contain:
 Lithium base or complex of lithium or
polyurea and highly refined mineral oil.
 Inhibitor additive against corrosion, rust
and anti-oxidant additive.
Note:
 Although MOBIL Polyrex EM is compatible
with the types of grease given above, we do
not recommend mixing it with any other types
of grease.
 If you intend to use a type of grease
different than those recommended above,
first contact WEG.
Before using standard motors
in specific areas or on special
applications, first contact the
grease manufacturer or weg
5.2 Assembly and Disassembly
Disassembly and assembly must be done by
qualified personnel using only suitable tools
and appropriate methods.
The bearing extractor grips must be applied
over the side face of the inner ring to be
disassembled or over an adjacent part.
It is essential to assemble bearings under
clean conditions to ensure good operation
and to avoid damages. New bearings shall
only be taken out from their packages when
mounting them.
Before installing a new bearing it is required
to check the shaft fitting for any sharp edge
or strike signals.
For bearing assembly, warm their inner parts
with suitable equipment – inductive process
– or use suitable tools.
