"Machinery Directive" and the EMC Directive is the responsibility of the machine's manufacturer. According to EC Regulation no. 640/2009, starting from 01/01/2015 the motors of the TH series (IE2, high efficiency) with power greater than or equal to 7.5 kW can be started in the European Union only if supplied by an inverter.
USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS 4. ELECTRIC MOTOR IDENTIFICATION The electric motor is equipped with a metal silk-screen printed and/or punched nameplate or an adhesive label glued on metal support. Symbols and abbreviations are detailed in the following page. NAMEPLATES THREE-PHASE MOTOR SINGLE-PHASE MOTOR...

USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS 5. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Before installation please check that: 1) the electric motor is not visibly damaged (whether damaged in transit or during storage). 2) the information on the nameplate corresponds with the features of the electric motor and its intended use; the power supply voltage matches the mains voltage;...
6. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND START UP 1) Connect the motor to the mains as shown in the diagram inside the terminal block box (the wiring diagrams are also included at the end of this manual). 2) Do not connect up or start the motor if the wiring diagram is absent.
USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS 7. INCREMENTAL ENCODER Motors can (optionally) be supplied with standard or low-resolution incremental encoders (for further information see product catalogue). Safety information 1) Wiring must always be done by fully qualified specialist personnel. 2) Shut off the power to all equipment/machinery involved in the wiring process.
8. FORCED VENTILATION It may be necessary on all model sizes to resort to forced ventilation (cooling method IC416), obtained by means of an axial flow servo-fan whose air flow rate is independent of the speed of rotation of the drive shaft. The power supply, independent from that of...
USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS 9. ELECTRIC MOTOR PROTECTION All electrical equipment must be protected against damage deriving from trouble or abnormal operation. The following phenomena must be taken into consideration: - overcurrents deriving from short-circuiting; - overload currents; - break or dip in supply voltage;...
In the event that the motor needs to be disassembled and its internal components examined, then qualified personnel must be enlisted who use appropriate equipment and follow the relevant procedures; Motovario is in no way responsible for any damage or injury that results from the improper use of its parts by unauthorised personnel. Removing parts without the manufacturer's authorisation voids the warranty and the manufacturer is not liable for any claims resulting therefrom.
USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS 13. STORAGE The motors must be stored in temperate, dry, clean conditions away from bad weather, vibrations and collisions. The shaft ends must be protected with rustproofing paint or grease (do not allow such products to come into contact with the seal rings, if present). Condensation heaters (where present) should ideally be kept energised.

USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS Connecting up the MS brake the brake is powered directly off the motor's terminal block; when the motor is powered up, the brake coil is 1. Direct brake power: automatically energised and the brake is released; when power to the motor is shut off, the brake coil is automatically de-energised and the brake brakes the motor.
