I\IAINTENANCE
A carefully planned program ol inspcction and main-
tenance will result in m¡ximum equipment availability
and minhnum m¡intcnance cost. If it is necessary to
repair, recondition,. or rebuild these nrotors, it is recom-
mended that the nexrest Westinghouse Apparatus Rcpair
shop be consulted.
Irr ¡ddition to thc daily observation of the overall
condilion and operr(ion of the motor, it is recommcndcd
lhat a general inspcction routine be esiablished to check
periodically the followirg itents:
l. Clcanliness
2. Insulation and winding
3. I.ubricrtion and berrings
4. Vibration

Clcaning Insulation
The insulated windings should be kept rcasonably clcan o[
dirt, oil, metal particles, and othcr cootanrinants. A fi¡nr I
¡
of oily dirt tends to accur¡rulate partic¡es that may intcrfcre
with the satisfactory ventilat¡on of the n¡achine. Cleaning
can be accomplished in several satis[actory mclhods,
since üerc is less possibility of dama8e to insulrtion and
less chance of getting conducting or harnr[ul particles into
a¡eas that mry later result !n damage durin8 opcr¡tion.
2. Cornpressed Air Clcaring
Compresscd air is effective and convenicnt'[or removing
Ioose dust and particles from inaccessible ¡re¡s such as air
ducts, and between coils at the end turns. Caution should
be takcn, however, to make sure that the air supply is dry,
and free of oil. Excessive air pressure (in excess of 30 psi),
should not bc used.
3. Solvent C'learing
Oil or grerse arc not har¡rful to the insulation, ho\¡'ever,
they do tend to accumul¡te dust which nliy i¡nPair tl¡c

Clcaning
The reservoir should be drained approxímately every six
months by removing the drain plug. More frequent
changes may be necessary iI discoloration or other
contamination of the oil is observed, oil temperature is
ne¡r the top(90oC) of t]le operating range, or for 3600
RPII machines. Flush with keroscne, if necesary, to
rc' .vc scdinrent. Chcck that nrcterirrg hole or holes are

l\lainter¡nce of Gre¡se Lubric¡ted Rolling Bearings
Vticn motor is inst¡llcd. nirke certain that thc motor
turns easily, particullrly rvhcn thc nrotor is not installed
until sornc ¡nonths after bcing shipped. Extcrnal
inspcction a[ter thc motor is put into opcration will
dctermine whe(hcr'.lrc bearings are operating quictly ¡nd
without unduc hcrt: l.
The grcase used rs a lubricanl in grease lubric¡tcd
ro¡ling bearings does not lose its lubricating ability
suddenly, but ovcr a pcriod o[ tirne. This time, ir¡ which
regressing would bc necessiry, dcpends upon thc typc of
grerse, the size of the bearings, üre speed rt which üe
bcaring oper¡tcs, and the scvcrity of operatinS conditions.
As a rcsult, it is not possiblc to rccuratcly prcdcterminc
when new Srecse must bc addcd. Sonlc ofthe cond¡tions
for rvhich morc frequent grclsing is required would bc
s{vcre d¡rt: expqsurc to wcathcr, high hunridity, splashing
watcr; or hiSlt rnrbient tentp€rature.
Regrcasilg
Too much grcasc will causc clrurning, ovcrhclting, rnd
greasc leakagc. Only a snrall'anrount of lubric¡nt is
necessary for lubrication, horvcver, this a¡nount nlust
always be prcscnt. Lubricünt also pcrforms other
functions such a prcvention of üater and conta¡ninants
[rorn entering the bcaring and corrosion protec!¡on. .
When regrcasing, care must be takei¡ against
introduction of di¡t. Clean thc ñttings as this h¡s been
found to be a primary cause of dirt introduction and
failure of bearings.
lfohigh pressure guns are used, great care must be taken
to avoid over'lubrication.
Wheir shipped frorn the factory, grease lubricated ball
bearings have sufflcient grease oI a rust inhib¡ted lithium
soap type to last for a ¡imited per¡od. flowever,o charge
of grerse should be addcd soon after the motor is put into
operation, and thereafter at suitable interv¡ls as
determined by experience.
NOTE ,)
Some motois for special app¡ications, such ,s high
ambient temperature conditions, will requirc a
special grade of grease. Thesc motors will be
identified by having a special nameplate giving
Eeasing instructions. In such cases, do not use thc
standard grease.
. when regreasing the motor, it is prcferable to s(op the )
motor. To regrease, procced as follows:

INSULATfON RESISTA
Before cnergizing motors, ¡t is recommended that the
i¡sulation rcsistance be measurcd, particu¡arly if the
motor has bcen exposed to excessiva moisture in shipment
o¡ in storage. Thc insulation resistance of the stator
winding c¡n be measured with a "Megger" type in.
itrument. This value should be not less than KV + ¡ ¡n
megohms. For example, a 2300 volt motor should have a
minimum insulation resistancc of 2.3 + | or 3,3 megohms.
lf the insulation resistance is lorver úan this value, it
advisable to eüminate the moisture in one of the follorving
ways:
l. lf space heat€rs were supplied, energize these until
nrctor dries out and until resistance becomes constant.
-YEnclose the motor with canvas or sinlilar covering,
lcaving a hole at the top for moisture to ercape. I¡rsert
heating units or lamps and le¡ve thcm on until the
insul¡tion resistance becomei practically const¡nt.
3, Wiü the rotor locked, using spproxinately l0% of
rated voltage, pass a currcnt through the stator windings.
This current may be grrdu¡ll:/ increased until the tempera-
ture of the stator rv¡nding re¡ches 90oC. Do not exceed
ü¡s tcmpersturc. Ilaintain a temperature of 90oC unti.l
thc insu:¡tion resistance becontcs practic¡Uy constant.
OPERATION
Stcps Prior to lnit¡¡l Start
Bcfore startiog a motor rvith oil lubricated bcarings,
re¡nove thc protective tapc on the oil g rges. Fill the oil
thc rcscrvoirs througlt tl¡c plug in tllc top br¡ckct and thc top
plug of thc lolcr oil lcvcl g¡ugc witlr thc propcr rust lnd

is in operat¡on. Sec p;rgc 8 for oil viscosities.
' lf possible, lurn tllc rotor to nlike sure that it rot¡tcs
freely; spherical rollcr bearings will lccl stiff due to spring
load,.but the(e shoultl be no binding.
Examine the rotor for loosc objccts or debris which
may have ¡ccumul¡ted to interfere w¡th operation. Chcck
factory mnde conncctions for tightness to make sure nonc
have become looscncd during shjpnrent or storaBe. Re-
move shipping braces from rotor. If
the upper berring
requ¡lrcs water cooling coils, connect the ñttings and
circulate üre water 8t thc flow rate ¡nd pressure spccificd
on the nameplate or instructions. Water pressure 75 psig
maximLm.
Initi¡l Start
It is recommended that the motor be initially started
uncoupled from the load. Check the direction of rotation.
After starting the motor, check the tempcr¡ture of the
bearing oil. If the oil is not water cooled, the normal oil
¡s operat¡ng temperature will be in the range of 75 to 90oC.
Bearing tempeiatures may be higher than this, s¡nce oil is
the cooling medium.
At initial start, thc rate of rise of the bearing
temperature is more indicative o[ trouble than the totd
temperature. When slarting I motor for the first time, thc
