U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS Safety INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY FIRST High voltage and rotating parts can cause serious injury or loss of life. Safe installation, operation and maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel. Familiarization with and adherence to NEMA MG2, the National Electrical Code, and local codes is recommended.

U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS Shipment & INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE Handling SHIPMENT Prior to shipment, all Titan-II Motors undergo extensive electrical and mechanical testing, and are thoroughly inspected. Upon receipt of the motor, carefully inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipment.
Storage U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE III. STORAGE 1. When to put a Motor in Storage. If a motor is not put into immediate service (one month or less), or if it is taken out of service for a prolonged period, special storage precautions should be taken to prevent damage.

Storage U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE All motors must have the shaft rotated a few turns once a month to maintain a lubricant film on bearing races. 3. Periodic Maintenance/ Insulation History The only accurate way to evaluate the condition of the winding insulation is to maintain a history of the insulation readings.
Page 9
Storage U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE Insulation resistance readings must not drop below the value indicated by the following formula: Rm = Kv + 1 Rm = minimum insulation, in megohms, at 40°C Kv = rated motor voltage in kilovolts Dielectric Absorption Ratio: In addition to the individual test reading, a dielectric absorption ratio may be required.
Installation U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS Location & INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE Foundation INSTALLATION LOCATION When selecting a location for the motor and driven unit, keep the following items in mind: 1. The location should be clean, dry, well ventilated, properly drained, and provide accessibility for inspection, lubrication, and maintenance.
Initial U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS Installation INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INITIAL INSTALLATION 1. Coupling or Pulley Installation Remove the shaft locking device shipped on motor (as applicable). Wash protective coating from the motor shaft extension(s) with solvent. Install couplings or pulleys on motor shaft per manufacturers' recommended fit and mounting practices.
Initial U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE Installation B. Parallel Alignment (See Figure 3B) Fasten a dial indicator onto one coupling hub with the indicator button on the cylindrical surface of the opposite coupling hub. Rotate shafts together and take readings at four points, 90° apart. Relocate motor until total indicator movement in full rotation does not exceed .002".
Initial U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE Installation 5. Reversing Rotation The direction of rotation may be reversed by interchanging any two, of the three power phases to the motor leads. Be sure that the power is off and steps are taken to prevent accidental starting of the motor before attempting to change any electrical connections.
Normal U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE Operation When checks are satisfactory to this point, increase the load slowly up to rated load and check unit for satisfactory operation. 7. Vibration Motors are supplied as standard in accordance with NEMA MG-1, section 7, which dictates that motor no-load vibration when mounted on a resilient base shall not exceed the limits as outlined in the following table: TABLE 1 NO-LOAD VIBRATION LIMITS...
Normal Operation U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE & Doweling 2. Inspection & Cleaning CAUTION: See section on safety, page i). Stop the motor before cleaning. ( Clean the motor, inside and outside, regularly. The frequency depends upon actual conditions existing around the motor. Use the following procedures, as they apply: Wipe any contaminants from external surfaces of the motor.
Disassembly U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE & Reassembly DISASSEMBLY See Figure 4 for Bearing Housing Cross Section. A. Disconnect power. Refer to section on Safety, page i. B. Remove grills and/or weather protected tophat as required. C. Remove bearing cap screws. D.
U.S. ELECTRICAL MOTORS Lubrication INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE E. Reassemble motor by reversing the disassembly procedure in Section IX “Disassembly”. Bearings should be installed per bearing manufacturer's recommended procedure. Pack bearings with grease per Section XI "Lubrication". F. Torque bolts per values in Table 4. G.
