Due to reduced rotor losses, speed is higher.(5-15rpm) The driven equipment ( fan / pump ) should be designed accordingly
Due to reduced rotor and stator resistance, starting current is higher. This can go to 700 % in eff1 motors. When used with a VVVF drive, this does not matter as the drive takes care. In other cases, this should be taken care during system design.

Effects of rise time and voltages on the stresses in the insulation
Evaluation of suitability of the motor insulation for VFD operation: Determine phase to phase voltage at motor terminals. Determine the rise time ( from VFD manufacturer) . Short rise time : ( 0.01 to 0.5s ): The sharp voltage edge causes over proportionate voltage drop in the first coil sections of the winding. The maximum voltage value is based on the winding design and the turn insulation. Longer rise time : (more than 0.5s ): The maximum voltage value is constant and does not depend on the rise time. The limit is based on the phase and slot insulation.
Permissible Voltages
Graph showing permissible voltage vrs rise time for BBL motors
Peak Phase to phase voltage = 2 x 1.35 x 1.1 x Vn
( 2 for voltage doubling due to long cables, 1.35 for DC conversion and 1.1 for voltage variation)
Inform the above details to BBL while ordering the motors. We will select Insulation scheme I,II or III from the graph based on rise time and peak voltage. In case motor is already available and voltages are higher than permissible.
Use special circuit components between the VFD and the motor. eg. Sine filters Smoothing reactors dv/dt .filter circuits
Install one insulated bearing on the non drive end of the motor. Install Sine filters / dv/dt filters /smoothing reactors between drive and motor. Install two insulated bearings on the motor. Install a shaft grounding brush across one motor bearing.

Maintenance ( Ref IS 900) When an electric motor has been properly installed, It requires little attention later on to keep it working properly. If the motor is kept clean and dry, and properly lubricated periodically, it will give trouble free service for a long time. The operation of cleaning, lubrication and inspection at regular intervals should be carried out according to a schedule, and proper records should be kept of what has been done on each occasion. Motors should be cleaned by blowing air at regular intervals to keep their ventilating passages clear, particularly when operating in dusty atmospheres.
Precautions to be taken during maintenance ( Ref IS 900) Terminals and screw connections shall be kept clean and tight. If they become dirty or corroded, they should be disconnected and all contact surfaces made clean and smooth. Bad contact leads to sparking and ultimate breakdown. Only the required quantity of grease should be put into the bearings as too much grease will also cause overheating in the same ways as too little grease.
