Important notes
NOTICE
Do not brake the motor by short-circuit operation.
Short-circuit braking may damage the motor.
Before initial switch-on
That the drive does not show any visible signs of damage.
•
Is the mechanical fixing o.k.?
•
Has the electrical connection been implemented correctly?
•
Are all rotating parts and surfaces that may become hot protected against contact?
•
Is the featherkey radially secured during the test run without output elements?
•
Have all screwed connections of the mechanical and electrical parts been tightened?
•
Is it ensured that the cooling air can be freely supplied and discharged?
•
Has the PE conductor been connected correctly?
•
Have the protective devices against overheating (temperature sensor evaluation) been
•
activated?
Is the inverter parameterised correctly for the motor? (See operating instructions for the
•
inverter)
Are the electrical connections ok?
•
Is the phase sequence of the motor connection correct?
•
Is a protection against contact provided in front of rotating parts and in front of surfaces
•
that can get hot?
Is the contact of good electrical conductivity if a PE connection on the motor housing is
•
used?
Before initial switch-on, after a longer downtime or after overhaul of the motor, check the
insulation resistance because condensed water may have formed.
With values ≤1 kΩ per volt of rated voltage, the insulation resistance is inadequate and no
•
voltage may be applied.
Dry the winding until the insulation resistance is >1 kΩ per volt of the rated voltage.
•
Functional test
After commissioning, check all individual functions of the drive:
Rotating direction in decoupled state.
•
Torque behaviour and current consumption
•
Function of the feedback system
•
Brake function
•
During operation, carry out inspections on a regular basis. Pay special attention to:
Unusual noises
•
Irregular running
•
Increased vibration
•
Loose fixing elements
•
Condition of electrical cables
•
Speed variations
•
Deposits on the drive system and in the cooling channels
