Drain condensate

If there are condensation drain holes present, open these at regular intervals, depending on
climatic conditions.
Hazardous voltage
The winding can be damaged if objects are introduced into the condensation holes (optional).
This can lead to death, serious injury or material damage.
Note the following to maintain the degree of protection:
• Switch off the machine so that it is in a no-voltage condition before you open the
• Close the condensation drain holes, e.g. using T-plugs, before commissioning the machine.
NOTICE
Reduction of the degree of protection
If condensation drain holes are not closed, then this can result in material damage to the motor.
In order to maintain the degree of protection, after the condensation has been drained, you
must close all of the drain holes.
