Synchronous motors (PMSM) – Manual with installation instructions 1 Safety information 1.1 Intended use The motor is used to generate a rotational movement. It is intended for use as a drive system in commercially used plant and machinery. The motor is exclusively intended for operation with frequency inverters.
1 Safety information 1.5 Personnel qualification All transport, storage, installation, commissioning and maintenance work must be carried out by qualified specialist personnel. Qualified specialist personnel are persons who have the training and experience to recognise and avoid any possible risks. 1.6 Safety for particular activities 1.6.1 Check for transport damage Transport damage may cause malfunctions of the drive, which may cause personal injury.
Synchronous motors (PMSM) – Manual with installation instructions 1.7 Hazards 1.7.1 Hazards due to electric shock An electric shock when touching live components may lead to severe injuries or death. • Before switching on the voltage supply, ensure that all associated covers are closed and all associated protective devices are installed and functional.
1 Safety information 1.7.3 Hazards due to unexpected movement of driven machinery The motor shaft may start moving under certain conditions, e.g. when the supply voltage is switched on or a holding brake is released. This way, the machinery driven by the drive can start to move unexpectedly.
Synchronous motors (PMSM) – Manual with installation instructions 1.8 Explanation of markings DANGER Indicates an immediate danger, which may result in death or very serious injury if it is not avoided. WARNING Indicates a dangerous situation, which may result in death or very serious injury if it is not avoided.

Synchronous motors (PMSM) – Manual with installation instructions 2.3 Description 2.3.1 Rotary encoders (option: IG, MG) Rotary encoder with zero track (option: IG) Depending on the application and customer requirements, a variety of rotary encoders are used. If possible, these encoders are adjusted by NORD. If this is not possible, an offset is determined and stated on a sticker inside the terminal box.
2 Description of the drive 2.4 Requirements for the use of the drive 2.4.1 Ambient conditions The motor must be protected against intensive sunlight, e.g. by the use of a protective cover. The insulation is tropicalised. Installation altitude: maximum 1000 m Ambient temperature: -20°C to +40°C For standard motors (without options), an extended ambient temperature range from -20°C to +60°C is permissible.
Synchronous motors (PMSM) – Manual with installation instructions 2.4.4 Frequency inverters and encoders The motors must only be operated with suitable frequency inverters. For energy-efficient operation, the frequency inverter must detect the position of the rotor. For this, different options with and without an encoder are possible, see also TI60_0010.
2 Description of the drive 2.4.5 Motor to frequency inverter assignment The following assignments of the motors to the suitable frequency inverters apply to nominal operation. Deviating operating conditions require planning and, if necessary, an adjustment of the inverter assignment. Motor data -370-340 71N1/8...
Synchronous motors (PMSM) – Manual with installation instructions 2.4.6 Interference emission and resistance to interference NORD motors comply with the EU Directive 2014/30/EU. Assembly or installation work must not cause impermissible interference emissions. Resistance to interference must still be given.

Synchronous motors (PMSM) – Manual with installation instructions 3.2 Storage Under favourable conditions, the drive can be stored for several years. • If necessary, treat the unprotected, finished surfaces (e.g. flange surface, shaft end) with corrosion protection agents. • Store the drive in a dry, dust-free space.
3 Transport, storage, assembly 3.4 Installation Either tighten the eye bolts used for transport or remove them completely. Protect the motor, rotating shafts and unused shaft ends against contact. Secure unused shaft keys against being thrown out or remove them. The top section of the terminal box can be rotated by 4 x 90 degrees.
Synchronous motors (PMSM) – Manual with installation instructions On IEC B14 motors, all four fastening screws must be screwed into the flanged bearing plate even if they are not required. The maximum insertion depth of 2 x d must not be exceeded. The fastening screw threads must be inserted with a sealant, e.g.
3 Transport, storage, assembly 3.7 Electrical connection WARNING Electric shock Touching live components causes an electric shock. This may result in severe injuries or death. • Installation of the drive may only be carried out by qualified personnel (qualified electricians). •...

Synchronous motors (PMSM) – Manual with installation instructions 4 Commissioning 4.1 Check encoder Check the alignment of the rotary encoder. If the rotary encoder is not aligned, or has come out of adjustment due to an impact or removal of the motor, the zero track of the encoder must again be adjusted to the rotor position.
4 Commissioning 4.5 Checklist Checklist Subject of check Date Information of check: see Section Is the vent screw activated or the pressure vent screwed in? Does the required orientation comply with the actual installation position? Are rotating parts covered with a contact guard? Is the rotary encoder aligned? 2.3.1, 4.1 Is the insulation resistance sufficiently high?
Synchronous motors (PMSM) – Manual with installation instructions 5 Service and maintenance 5.1 Service and maintenance intervals The service and maintenance intervals highly depend on the ambient and operating conditions. They must therefore be individually adapted for the driven machine during project planning.
5 Service and maintenance 5.3 Service and maintenance work 5.3.1 Check for running noises If the motor produces unusual running noises or vibrations, this could indicate damage to the motor. In this case, the motor must be repaired immediately. Please contact the NORD Service department. 5.3.2 Visual inspection Check the drive thoroughly considering valid standards and regulations.
