Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 General information
This User's Manual contains information on the transport, installation, operation
and maintenance of AMG 0180-0500 type of synchronous machines supplied by
ABB.
This manual provides information regarding all aspects of installation, operation,
maintenance and supervision of the machine and shows how to disassemble/
assemble major components, if required. Careful study of the contents of this
manual and other machine related documentation before any actions are taken is
necessary to ensure proper functionality and a long lifetime of the machine.
Actions shown in this manual are only to be performed by trained personnel with
previous experience in similar tasks, and authorized by the owner of the
equipment.
ABB constantly strives to improve the quality of the information provided in this
User’s Manual, and will welcome any improvement suggestions. For contact
information, see
Chapter 9.1. After sales
.
NOTE: These instructions must be followed to ensure safe and proper
installation, operation and maintenance of the machine. They should be
brought to the attention of anyone who installs, operates or maintains
this equipment. Ignoring the instruction invalidates the warranty
1.2 European directives
Generators sold to European Union must meet the relevant local directives. The
generator is supplied as a component part of generating set, as it has itself no
intrinsic function without mechanical power input. Every generator is therefore
supplied with an
EC Declaration of Incorporation
according to
Machinery
Directive
.
As the standard generator is designed for industrial application, it meets the
industrial emissions and immunity standards. If the generator is to be used for
residential, commercial or light industrial applications, extra equipment may be
required. In this case, please contact generator manufacturer if you have not
specified this in advance.
Before the generator is coupled into machinery, it meets the following directives,
which are applicable for the component part of machinery–generator:
•
Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC.
•
EMC Directive 2004/108/EC
•
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
NOTE: Once the generator is coupled into generating set, the generating set
manufacturer has to ensure the generating set complies with the relevant
EC directives.
All the generators supplied by ABB are CE-marked (see
Figure 1-1. CE-label
) on
rating plates. The rating plate can be delivered as loose items in case the generator
has to be re-painted before delivered to end user.
