Fan Drive System Descriptions

Direct Drive Motors:

 For direct driven units the motor is TEAO epoxy 

coated IP66.

Belt Drive Motor:

 The fan motor used on belt driven units is a TEFC 

motor, with permanently lubricated ball bearings. The motor is 
installed fully outside of the wet air stream.

Electrical Connection (by others):

 All electrical connections should 

be carried out by qualified & approved/licensed electrical personnel 
and conform to all local authority requirements. All overload devices, 
fuses or other protective devices must be rated to suit motor running 
& starting characteristics.

Initial Start-up:

 

1.  Insulation resistance test - minimum value should be 1 Mega 

Ohm (1,000,000 Ohms).

2.  Thermistors, if fitted, should be checked for continuity with a 

multimetre but never mega-tested.

3.  Ensure supply voltage and frequency correspond to the motor 

nameplate rating.

4.  Ensure shaft turns freely.
5.  Wire the motor in accordance with the wiring diagram as shown 

on the motor nameplate and/or in the motor terminal box.

6.  Turn on unit and check amp draw does not exceed nameplate rating.

Note: If unit is not run for a prolonged time (or motor is stored with 
tower in kit form) the motor insulation should be checked with a 
“megger” insulation tester prior to starting the motor. If motor is 
stored it should be in a clean, dry place & have the shaft rotated 
occasionally. Storage areas should not be subject to vibration.

Inspection and Maintenance

•   Clean the outside of the motor at least quarterly to ensure proper 

motor cooling.

•   After prolonged shutdowns, check the motor insulation with an 

insulation tester prior to restarting the motor.

•   Check motor voltage and current following start-up and every three 

months while in operation.

Adjustable Motor Base

Coat the motor base slides and adjusting screws prior to start-up, every 
three months while in operation, and following shutdown. Use good 
quality corrosion inhibiting grease such as one of those recommended 
for lubricating the fan shaft bearings.

WARNING: 

Electricity is 

dangerous and has the potential 
to cause fatal injury. Work of any 
nature involving electricity must 
only be carried out by licensed 
electricians, who must take 
all the appropriate/regulated 
safety precautions prior to 
commencement of such work.
