7.2.1
Test run
After installation or inspection, carry out a test run:
1. Start up the machine without a load. To do this, close the circuit breaker and do not
switch off prematurely. Check whether it is running smoothly.
Switching the machine off again while it is starting up and still running at slow speed
should be kept to a bare minimum, for example for checking the direction of rotation or for
checking in general.
Allow the machine to run down before switching it on again.
2. If the machine is running smoothly and evenly, switch on the cooling equipment. Continue
to observe the machine for a while in no-load operation.
3. If it runs perfectly, connect a load.

NOTICE
Avoiding mechanical damage to the cylindrical roller bearing
Under all circumstances maintain the minimum load on cylindrical roller bearings of 50%
corresponding to what is specified in the catalog.
NOTICE
Thermal overload of motors connected directly to the line supply
In addition to the load torque, the ramp-up (accelerating) time is essentially influenced
by the moment of inertia to be accelerated. While ramping up when connected to the
line supply, the inrush (starting) current is a multiple of the rated current. This can result
in thermal overload. This can damage the motor.
As a consequence, when ramping up, observe the following:
• Monitor the ramp-up time and number of consecutive starts.
• Comply with the limit values and/or ramp-up conditions specified in the catalog or the
order documentation.
