ELECTRIC MOTORS

 

 
This equipment contains HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES, 
ROTATING PARTS AND HOT SURFACES. SEVERE 
PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE CAN 
RESULT IF SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT 
FOLLOWED. Only qualified personnel should work on or 
around this equipment after becoming thoroughly familiar 
with all warnings, safety notices, and maintenance 
procedures contained herein. The successful and safe 
operation of this equipment is dependant upon proper 
handling, installation, operation and maintenance. 
 

 WARNING 

Explosion-proof motors-these motors are constructed to 
comply with the U.L. Label Service Procedure Manual. 
When repairing and reassembling a motor that has an 
underwriter’s label, it is imperative that the unit be 
reinspected and: 

1.  All original fits and tolerance be maintained. 
2.  All plugs and hardware be securely fastened. 
3.  Any parts replacements, including hardware, be 

accurate duplicates of the originals. 

Repair work on explosion-proof motors can only be done 
by the original manufacturing or U.L. certified shops. 
Violations of any of the above items will invalidate the 
significance of the U.L. Label. 
 

STORAGE 

Motors must be stored in a clean, dry, well ventilated 
location free from vibration and rapid or wide 
temperature variations. If the unit is to be stored longer 
than three months, consult factory. Ball bearing motors 
are shipped from the factory properly lubricated and 
ready to operate. When in storage, the motor shaft must 
be turned several rotations every month and bearings 
relubricated every year. On non-explosion-proof TEFC 
motors, a removable plug in the bottom of the frame or 
housing permits removal of accumulated moisture. Drain 
regularly if storage atmosphere results in formation of 
condensation. 
 

INSTALLATION 

Installation must be handled by qualified service or 
maintenance personal. 

 

 
 
 

OPERATION 

 CAUTION 

Repeated trial starts can overheat the motor and may 
result in motor burnout. If repeated trial starts are made, 
allow sufficient time between trials to permit heat to 
dissipate from windings and rotor to prevent overheating. 
Starting currents are several times running currents, and 
heating varies as the square of the current.

 

 
After installation is completed, but before motor is put in 
regular service, make an initial start as follows: 

 
1.  Check motor starting and control device 

connections against wiring diagrams. 

2.  Check voltage, phase, and frequency of line circuit 

(power supply) against motor nameplate. 

3.  If possible, remove external load (disconnect drive) 

and turn shaft by hand to ensure free rotation. This 
may have been done during installation procedure; 
if so, and conditions have not changed since, this 
check may not be necessary. 
a.  If drive is disconnected, run motor at no load 

long enough to be certain that no unusual 
conditions develop. Listen and feel for 
excessive noise, vibration, clicking, or 
pounding. If present, stop motor immediately. 
Investigate the cause and correct before 
putting motor in service. 

b.  If drive is not disconnected, interrupt the 

starting cycle after motor has accelerated to 
low speed. Carefully observe for unusual 
conditions as motor coasts to a stop. 

4.  When checks are satisfactory, operate at minimum 

load and look for unusual condition. Increase load 
slowly to maximum. Check unit for satisfactory 
operation. 

 

 CAUTION 

Guard against overloading. Overloading causes 
overheating and overheating means shortened insulation 
life. A motor subjected to a 10°C temperature rise above 
the maximum limit for the insulation may cause the 
insulation life to be reduced by 50%. To avoid 
overloading, be sure motor current does not exceed 
nameplate current when nameplate voltage is applied
