Drain regu: lary ifstorage atmosphere results information of condensation, INSTALLATION — Installation should be handled by competent ser vice or maintenance personnel. The motor foundation should rigidly upper all four fect in the eam plane. Place chimo under the motor {oat, as required, so they wil not be pulled out of plane when mount ing bolts are tightened. All wiring to the motor and control should be in accordance with the National Electical Code and all local regulations. Before drive is connected, momentarily energize motor to check that direction of rotation is proper. For direct drive, accurate alignment and rigid mounting are essential. Acceptable paralel align- ment is 0.004" TIR. Acceptable angular alignment is 0.004 inch (adius to clalindicator = one foot) ‘Any change in shims requires rachecking alignment. When alignment is within limits, dowe! 2 feet of each unit. When installing flat belt pulley, V belt sheave, spur or helical pinion or chain drives, be certain that they are within NEMA limitations. Refer to NEMA Motor and Generator standards, MG 1-14.07 and 14.42. OPERATION — Initial Start. 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 shatt by hand to insure tree rotation, This may have been done during installation procedure; so, and conditions have ‘not changed since, this check may nol be necessary. 2, If drive is disconnected, run motor at no toad long enough to be certain that no unusual condition develops. Listen and feel for excessive noise, vibration, clicking, or pound- Ing. if present, stop motor immediately. Investigate the cause and correct before puting motor in service. b. I drive is not disconnected, interupt the starting cycle ater motor has accelerated to low speed. Carefully 0b: sere for unusual conditions as motor coasts to a stop. Repeat several times it necessary. (Ay cauTion Repeated tral stats can overheat the motor andl may result in motor burnout (particularly for across-the-line starting). if repeated trial starts are made, allow sufficient time between tials to permit heat to dissipate from windings or rotor to prevent overheating. Starting currents are several times running currents, and heating varies as the SQUARE of the curent, 4, When checks are salistactory, operate at minimum load and look for eny unusual condition. Increase load slowly to maximum; check unit for satisfactory operation. VOLTAGE REGULATION —Motors wil operate successfully under the following conditions of voltage and frequency variation, but not necassavily in accordance with the standards established for op- erating under rated conditions: ‘a. When the variation in voltage does not exceed 10% above or below normel, with all phases balanced, bb. When the variation in frequency does not exceed 5% above ‘or below normal ‘c. When the sum of the voltage and frequency variations does ot exceed 10% above or below normal (provided the tre- quency variation does not exceed 5%). REGULAR MAINTENANCE — Several of the more Important items of good maintenance are discussed in the following paragraphs. Others should ke added when adverse or unusual conditions exist. Cleanliness. The motor exterior should be kept free of oil, dust, dirt, water, and chemicals. For fan-cooled motors, it is particularly im: Portant to keep the air intake opening tree of foreign material. Do ot block air out. Moisture. On non-explosion préof T E FC motors, a removable plug in the bottom center of the motor frame or bearing housing permits removal of any accumulated moisture. Drain regularly Ay caution Loading. Guard agairst overloading. Overioading causes over heating and overheating means shortened insulation life. A mo- tor subjected to a 10°C temperature rise above the maximum limit forthe insulation will have its insulation Ife reduced 50%.
