    4.6 COOLING The motor cooling system type may vary according to its application. Only the correct installation of the motor and of the cooling system can ensure its continuous operation without overheating. ATTENTION The protection devices of the cooling system must be monitored periodically. The air and/or water inlets and outlets must not be obstructed, because this could cause overheating and even lead to the motor burnout.

    Motors with a single rotation direction must only rotate in the indicated direction, since fans and other devices are unidirectional. In order to operate the motor in the rotation direction opposite to the specified, consult WEG.
  • Page 26: Grounding

    ATTENTION Before making the connections between the motor and the power supply, it is necessary to perform a careful measurement of the winding insulation resistance. In order to connect the motor main power supply cables, unscrew the cover of the stator terminal box, cut the sealing rings (standard motors without cable gland) according to the diameter of the cables to be used and insert the cables in the sealing rings.
