Conformity declaration can be supplied when requested. 1.2 Validity The instructions are valid for the following TECHTOP electrical machine types, in both motor and generator operation. Series: MS1/MS2 (TM), MSB, MSD, MSC/MYC, MSV (TMV), MYV, T1A,T2A,T3A,TXA Series: MY/MYT, ML, MC Series: Y/Y2 ( TM ), YC, T1C ( TM ), T2C ( TM/TCF ), T3C ( TCF ), TCI/TCP, TG,TXC in frame sizes 56-500 LOW VOLTAGE MOTORS - Installation, operation, maintenance and safety manual - rev.
2.3 Lifting All TECHTOP motors above 25 kg are equipped with lifting lugs or eyebolts. Only the main lifting lugs or eyebolts of the motor should be used for lifting the motor. They must not be used to lift the motor when it is attached to other equipment.
The total machine weight can vary within the same frame size (center height) depending on different output, mounting arrangement and auxiliaries. The following table shows estimated maximum weights for machines in their basic versions as a function of frame material. The actual weight of all TECHTOP’s motors is shown on the catalogue. Aluminum...
3. INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING WARNING! Disconnect and lock out before working on the motor or the driven equipment. 3.1 General All rating plate values must be carefully checked to ensure that the motor protection and connection will be properly done. WARNING! In case of motors mounted with the shaft upwards and water or liquids are expected to go down along the shaft, the user must take in account to mount some means capable of preventing it.
WARNING! The motor frame must be grounded and the windings should be discharged against the frame immediately after each measurement to avoid risk of electrical shock. If the reference resistance value is not attained, the winding is too damp and must be oven dried. The oven temperature should be 90°C for 12-16 hours followed by 105°C for 6-8 hours.
Re-check the alignment after final tightening of the bolts or studs. 3.6 Slide rails and belt drives Fasten the motor to the slide rails as shown in Figure 2. Place the slide rails horizontally on the same level. Check that the motor shaft is parallel with the drive shaft. Belts must be tensioned according to the instructions of the supplier of the driven equipment. WARNING! Excessive belt tension will damage bearings and can cause shaft damage.
The voltage and connection are stamped on the terminal box cover. Direct-on-line starting (DOL): Y or D winding connections may be used. For example, 690 VY, 400 VD indicates Y-connection for 690 V and D-connection for 400 V. WARNING! from 10KW Start/Delta (Y/D) starting is recommended Star/Delta starting (Y/D): The supply voltage must be equal to the rated voltage of the motor when using a D-connection.
WARNING! Ignoring any of given instructions or maintenance of the apparatus may jeopardize the safety and thus prevents the use of the machine. 4.2 Cooling Check that the motor has sufficient airflow. Ensure that no nearby objects or direct sunshine radiate additional heat to the motor. For flange mounted motors (e.g.
Grease can cause skin irritation and eye inflammation. Follow all safety precautions specified by the gease manufacturer. Bearing types are specified in the respective product catalogs. Reliability is a vital issue for bearing lubrication intervals. TECHTOP uses mainly the L1-principle (i.e. that 99% of the motors are certain to make the life time) for lubrication.
These values are valid for permitted load values given in the product catalog. Depending on application and load conditions, see the applicable product catalog or contact TECHTOP. Data above reported will be in compliance with item 5.2, and are refered at the following motor working conditions, ambient temperature 25°C, max bearing working temperature 80°C.
Bearings lifetime values below reported, are valid for permitted load values given in the product catalog. Depending on application and load conditions, see the applicable product catalog or contact TECHTOP. Data above reported will be in compliance with item 5.2, and are refered at the following motor working conditions, ambient temperature 25°C, max bearing working temperature 80°C.
As a guide, adequate lubrication for motors with regreasable bearings can be achieved for the following duration, according to L1. For duties with higher ambient temperatures please contact TECHTOP. The formula to change the L1 values roughly to L10 values: L10 = 2.7 x L1.
5.2.4 Lubricants WARNING Do not mix different types of grease. Incompatible lubricants may cause bearing damage. When regreasing, use only special ball bearing grease with the following properties: – good quality grease with lithium complex soap and with mineral- or PAO-oil –...
7.1 Noise levels Most of TECHTOP’s motors have a sound pressure level not exceeding 80 dB(A) at 50 Hz. Values for specific machines can be found in the relevant product catalogues. At 60 Hz sinusoidal supply the values are approximately 4 dB(A) higher compared to 50 Hz values in product catalogues.
