Document last modified: 10 July 2014.

WesCEF disclaims any liability or responsibility for the use of this document

other than as authorised by WesCEF.

The motor thermistors shall be as recommended in AS1023 for Class B insulation with a trip point

Where the motor is rated for use in hazardous areas then thermistors shall not be bonded externallyto the stator windings except where specifically permitted by the certificate of compliance.

In general thermistors shall be fitted as follows;

4.3.1 

LV Motors Rating: <<<< 7.5 kW

Where it is found that a motor of less than 7.5kW is already fitted with thermistors then in this casethermistors shall be maintained and replaced if necessary during repairs.

4.3.2 

LV Motors Rating: ≥≥≥≥ 7.5 to 37 kW

All LV Motors rated at 7.5kW and up to 37kW inclusive shall be provided with three PTCthermistor sensors, one per phase.

4.6 

BEARINGS AND LUBRICATION

Bearings shall be replaced with the size, form and tolerance as per the motor manufacturer’sspecifications or as specified on CSBP’s motor data sheet.

Bearings shall be selected to give a minimum life expectancy of forty eight months. Unlessspecified otherwise, motors shall be provided with grease lubricated deep groove ball bearings or

alternatively deep groove ball bearing on the non-drive end with roller bearings on the drive end.The bearings shall be double shielded and either sealed for life or fitted with a grease flush through

relief system.

Where motors 185 kW or larger are intended to be used in conjunction with VSD's, but excludingany motor intended for use in hazardous areas, then the Supplier shall employ a scheme to limit

circulating currents between the rotor and the frame. Such schemes may include providingelectrical insulation at the non-drive end and fitment of earthing brushes on the shaft at the drive

end. Where earthing brushes are fitted they shall be shrouded to prevent direct access by personnelor airborne contaminants. Where other than insulated bearings/housings coupled with earthing

brushes are used, full details of the proposed scheme shall be highlighted by the Supplier in themotor repair sheet.

4.6.1 

Bearing Type

Motor bearings shall be of a sealed type only from reputable and proven manufacturers:

4.6.2  Lubrication Type

All lubrication products shall be to the manufacturer’s requirements

Bearing lubrication shall use Lithium base type grease with anti-oxidant, anti-wear and anti-rustadditives with a specification equal to or better than Shell Alvania RL3.

All grease nipples used are to be of the round button type or equivalent.

It shall be possible to regrease the bearings in safety without stopping the motor. Designs requiringre-greasing at intervals of less than 4,000 hours are not acceptable.

4.7  SHAFTS

within the ranges specified by the manufacturer.

The journal or seal areas shall be finish-machined to a standard size set by the bearing

manufacturer to accept the bearing or seal.

Knurling, peening or adhesives shall not be used as a means of retaining bearings to the shaft.

Shaft extensions, keyways and keys shall be in accordance with manufacturer specifications.

The shafts of all motors shall be drilled and tapped in accordance with AS1359-101. The tapped

hole shall be plugged with a grub screw and a suitable adhesive such as “Loctite” shall be used toensure the grub screw remains in place.

•  Mounting feet/flange

•  Terminal box housing

•  Fan cowling

•  Cooling fan

c.  Check bearing fit - record type.

d.  Following removal of rotor, check rotor bars, shorting rings for cracks or distortion, checkrotor laminations for deformation, e.g. poling.

For wound rotors, check: winding condition, slip rings/commutator, connections, andlaminations.

e.  Check and establish winding condition.

f.  Check stator laminations for damage.

g.  Check material of fan cowling. If made of plastic or fibreglass then remove and discard.

h.  Check cast iron fans for evidence of cracking and also use of rivets to repair the fan or toaffix balance weights. When cracking is found or rivets have been used then the fan shall be

discarded.

i.  If fitted with an eye bolt, remove the bolt and clean out the threads of the stator frame/eyebolt with a wire brush and re-tap/die if necessary. Visually inspect the hole for signs of

excessive corrosion or cracking which indicates that an eye bolt must not be installed. Ifthe eye bolt hole is OK but the eye bolt condition is poor, has incorrect threads or incorrect

thread length, then discard and re-supply a new eye bolt. Record findings on the Motor

Repair Data Sheet.

SPARES MANAGMENT

All High Voltage rotation spares are kept in the stores project warehouse.

These motors should be covered or sealed if possible with their anti-condensation heatersconnected to a temporary power supply.

At 6 monthly intervals the shaft should be rotated 60 to 90 degrees.
