Measures to be performed prior to commissioning
Overview
Warning
This list does not claim to be exhaustive.
It may be necessary to make additional checks and tests corresponding to the
actual plant/system situation.
After assembling the motor in line with technical requirements and before
commissioning the system, check that:
•= the motor has been assembled and aligned properly.
•= the operating conditions are in accordance with the data specified on the
nameplate.
•= any supplementary motor monitoring devices and equipment have been
correctly connected and are functioning.
•= appropriately configured control functions and speed monitoring equipment
ensure that speeds higher than the permissible speeds stated on the rating
plate do not arise.
•= the power take-off elements have the correct parameters for their type (e.g.
alignment and balancing of couplings, belt tension of a belt drive, backlash and
crest clearance of a gear PTO drive, radial clearance).
•= the minimum insulation resistance values are complied with.
•= the earthing and equipotential grounding connections have been correctly
made.
•= all mounting screws, connecting elements and electrical connections are tight.
•= the rotor can be spun without coming into contact with the stator.
•= all shock protection measures for moving and live parts have been taken.
•= if the second shaft end has not been used, its featherkey has been secured to
prevent it being thrown out.
•= all separately driven fans fitted are ready for operation and have been
connected such that they rotate in the direction specified.
•= the flow of cooling air is not impeded.
•= brakes (if fitted) function perfectly.
