Maintenance
A uniform temperature must be maintained in the
motor to obtain constant resistance readings. When
the megger readings remain constant, the drying
process is complete and may be discontinued.
Check for other causes if readings are still low.
Warm Air Oven Drying
1. Remove bearing housings.
2. Remove rotor.
Bake in oven at temperatures specified in Insulation
Drying Temperature table, and follow procedures
described for drying insulation.
Electric Strip Heater Drying
1. Remove bearing housings.
2. Remove rotor.
3. Direct a fan on stator to carry away the moisture.
4. Attach temperature indicators to winding and
apply heat as specified in the Insulation Drying
Temperature table and follow procedures
described for drying insulation.
5. Radiant type heaters are not recommended
because some parts may become scorched
before remote parts reach desired temperature.
Circulating Current Drying
1. Remove bearing housings.
2. Center the rotor in the stator core.
3. Wedge fiber strips into the lower part of the air
gap so rotor does not touch stator core, or
remove rotor.
4. Direct fan on unit to blow away excessive
moisture.
5. Attach temperature indicators to windings. Do not
exceed the drying temperatures in the Insulation
Drying Temperature table.
6. An external source of current can be used to
circulate direct current through the winding of any
type of alternating current motor. A portable low
voltage motor-generator set, such as is used for
welding, is usually suitable.
CAUTION
High temperatures.
May cause damage to insulation.
Avoid hot spots and radiant type heat
When this method is used on the stator, the stator
phases may be connected in series or in parallel to
suit the available power supply if both ends of all
phases are accessible. If only three leads are
brought out of the motor, the current may be
circulated between one terminal and the other two
connected together. If this is done, the temperature
of the single lead connection must be checked
frequently, and it is desirable to shift the leads
occasionally. Usually 50 to 100% of full load current
will produce the required temperature. The dc voltage
required for this current will be 0.25
-
5.0% of the
normal voltage per phase, and the corresponding
power will be 0.50
-
3.25% of the rating.
Alternating current can be used on the stators of
squirrel cage induction motors if the rotors are
removed. Alternating current is usually not as easy
to control as required voltage control, and a.c.
requires a higher voltage source, approximately 10 to
30% of the rated winding voltage. In addition, care
must be taken that miscellaneous parts adjacent to
the windings, such as lead studs, core supporting
member, etc., do no overheat due to induced
currents and the lack of normal ventilation.
CAUTION
High temperatures.
May cause damage to insulation.
Avoid hot spots and radiant type heat
Bearings
Long life of bearings is assured only by maintaining
proper alignment and good lubrication at all times.
Some factors that can cause excessive bearing noise
and heat are:
1. Incorrect alignment of couplings.
2. Excessive or wrong direction of thrust.
3. Improper lubrication.
Bearing Lubricants - Grease
Prior to shipment, bearings are lubricated with the
proper amount and grade of grease to provide
satisfactory service under normal operation and
conditions. See the lubrication plate mounted on the
motor for regreasing intervals and recommended
type of grease. It is good practice, however, to check
bearings of newly installed machines for proper
lubrication.
