Inspection and maintenance table.
Listen for any abnormal noise or increased vibrations
Verify that the liquid cooling system connections for inlet and outlet are free from dust or any parts
that block the flow. If required, clean the inlet and outlet areas.
Check that there are no fluid leakages. The pressure drop may not exceed the rating on the separate
rating plate, see Figure 3.
Verify that the temperature sensors in the stator winding are functioning properly.
If there is a potential safety risk, inform management and take necessary emergency
measures.
The points described in 6.3.1.
Look for any visual damage to the structure of the motor such as cracks in the structure and
corrosion in screw joints, etc. If external damage to the motor is observed and to such an extent that
it prevents operation or represents a safety risk, replace the motor as soon as possible.
