5.4.1. General
Checks
Before connecting the blower, check that:
there are no objects in the blower, since they will be flung out forcefully,
the enclosure is not damaged or deformed, which will reduce effectiveness.
Safety
- Electrical installation and mounting may only be carried out by
personnel with the relevant training and qualifications.
- The electrical installation and cabling must be suitable for the blower to be connected.
- The blower may be fitted in the position of your choice, using the
blower mounting points.
- Fit the blower such that the air flow for motor cooling is not
obstructed; the maximum ambient temperature is 40°C.
Read the electric motor instructions prior to connection of the blower.
5.4.2. Installation
Fit a protective motor switch to protect the blower motor from thermal overload.
The blower should preferably be 'permanently' connected.
Fuses in the electric circuit must have sufficient capacity:
approx. 2.5 x the rated current with star/delta switching; in the case of direct-on-line
starting, the starting current will be approx. 6 x the rated current.
The switching on/off mode depends on the relevant user.
For information on this, read the electric motor manual.
6. Commissioning
Switch on the blower.
Switch on the power unit for the anti-static bar or the voltage for the
P-SH-N-Ex bar.
7. Functional check
7.1. Anti-static bar
A Simco-Ion bar checker can be used to verify that there is high voltage at the emitter points of
the bar.
A Simco-Ion electrostatic fieldmeter can be used to measure the efficiency of the anti-static
bar.
Measure the charge on the material before and after it has passed the air flow.
The charge measured should be much reduced after the air flow has passed.
Warning:
In an explosion-hazardous zone only measuring instruments approved for an
explosion-hazardous zone may be used.
