Guidelines for Handling Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD)

CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge
Electronic modules contain components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge.
These modules can be easily destroyed by improper handling.
To protect your equipment against damage, follow the instructions given below.

● Never touch electronic modules unless absolutely necessary in the course of

maintenance and repair procedures.
● If the modules have to be touched, the body of the person concerned must be
electrostatically discharged immediately beforehand and be grounded.
● Electronic modules should not be brought into contact with electrically insulating materials
such as plastic foil, plastic parts, insulating table supports or clothing made of synthetic
fibers.
● Always place electrostatic endangered assemblies on conductive bases.
● Always store and transport electronic modules or components in conductive packaging
(e.g. metallized plastic or metal containers).

CAUTION
Use conductive packaging material
Electronic modules must be stored, transported and dispatched in conductive
packaging.
Electronic modules which are not correctly stored, transported or dispatched can be
damaged.
Pack electronic modules in appropriate conductive packaging (e.g. foam rubber or
aluminum foil).

4.2 Transport and storage

WARNING
Always transport and lift the motor on the lifting eyebolts
If you lift the motor by the cooling water pipe system, the pipes will be damaged and the
motor might be dropped. Death, serious injury, or material damage to the motor - even a
write-off - can result.
Do not attach the motor at the cooling water pipes when you have removed the bearing end
shields. The bearing end shields must always be mounted when you transport the motor.
There are two lifting eyebolts for horizontal transport of the motor. In addition there are two
threads for vertical lifting with the shaft end pointing downwards. For this, the lifting eyebolts
and the threaded plugs have to be swapped around.
Only lift the motor at the lifting eyebolts on the bearing end shields. To hoist the motor, in
particular if there are built-on assemblies, use suitable cable-guidance or spreading
equipment.
Pay attention to the lifting capacity of the hoisting gear. See the rating plate or the table
below for the weight of the motor.

CAUTION
Transport damage if the rotor shipping brace device is not used.
The motor can be damaged if it is jolted during transport. Material damage can result.
Always transport the motor with the rotor shipping brace supplied. It must be securely
attached during transportation. Only remove it before pushing on the drive element. When
the motor has to be transported after the drive element is pushed on you must take other
appropriate measures to fix the axial position of the rotor. Please refer to the illustration
below.

4.2.2 Storage
The motors can be stored for up to two years in dry, dust-free and vibration-free rooms
without reducing the specified storage time.

CAUTION
Seizure damage to bearings
If the motors are stored incorrectly there is a risk of bearing seizure damage such as
brinelling, for example as a result of vibrations.
Read the following storage instructions.

Preparation
● Fit the rotor shipping brace.
● Apply a preserving agent such as Tectyl to bare external components such as shaft ends,
if this has not already been applied in the factory.

Storing indoors
● Store the motor in an area that meets the following criteria:
– Dry, dust-free, frost-free and vibration-free The relative air humidity should be lower
than 60% and the temperature should not drop below -15 °C in accordance with
EN 60034-1.
– Well ventilated
– Offers protection against extreme weather conditions
– The air in the storage area must not contain any harmful gases.
● Protect the motor from shocks and humidity.
● Cover the motor properly.
● Avoid contact corrosion:
– Every three months, remove the shipping brace and rotate the shaft end by hand.
– Then reattach the rotor shipping brace.

Protection against humidity

● If a dry storage area is not available, then take the following precautions:

A5E02098977A AB
26 Siemens AG Operating Instructions 3.00 1PH818
 Preparations for use
4.2 Transport and storage

– Wrap the motor in humidity-absorbent material and then wrap it in film to create an air-
tight unit.
– Include several bags of desiccant in the seal-tight packaging. Check the desiccant and
replace as required.
– Place a humidity meter in the seal-tight packaging to indicate the level of air humidity
inside it.
– Inspect the motor regularly.

Long-term storage
If you are storing a machine for more than six months, you must check its condition every six
months.
● Check the machine for damage.
● Carry out any necessary maintenance work.
● Document all preservation measures taken so that they can be reversed before the
machines are put back into service.
● Provide air-conditioning for the storage room.

Condensation water
Condensation water can collect in the machine as a result of sharp fluctuations in ambient
temperature, exposure to direct sunlight, high levels of humidity in the storage location or
intermittent operation/variations in load during operation.

CAUTION
Damage caused by condensation water
If the stator winding gets damp, its insulation resistance decreases. This results in voltage
flashovers, which can destroy the winding. Condensation can also cause rusting inside the
machine.

In the bearing end shields on the drive end and non-drive end, water drainage holes are
situated lower down or opposite the regreasing devices. These always remain open. Make
sure that the condensation can always drain away freely.

4.2.3 Protecting the cooling-water system

When the units are delivered, the high-grade steel cooling-water pipe system is not filled with
cooling water.
● When you put the motor into storage after use, drain the cooling water ducts and purge
with air to ensure that they are completely empty.
● For operation, add a maximum of 20 % to 30 % of an anti-freeze agent to the cooling
water; use Antrifrogen N or Tyfocor, for example, as the anti-freeze.

5.1 Installation

CAUTION
Temperature-sensitive parts
Some parts of the frame of electrical machines can reach temperatures in excess of 100°C.
Parts that are sensitive to temperature such as cables etc. can be damaged by direct
contact with the machine housing.
When positioning temperature-sensitive components make sure that they are not in contact
with the motor enclosure.

Note
Note also the technical specifications on the rating plates on the motor enclosure.

General cooling conditions

● Take account of the following:
– The conditions of the IP degree of protection must be observed.
– The assemblies and pipework must be mounted free of stress.

Noise emission
Motors of the 1PH818 series reach a measuring surface sound pressure level Lp(A) of
approx. 70 dB(A) + 3 dB (tolerance) in a speed range from 0 to 5000 rpm.
The motors are certified for a wide range of installation and operating conditions. These
conditions such as rigid or vibration-isolated foundation design influence noise emission,
sometimes significantly.

5.2 Pushing on the power output elements

5.2 Pushing on the power output elements

Balance quality
The rotors are balanced dynamically. For shaft extensions with featherkeys, the balancing
type is specified using the following coding on the face of the drive end of the shaft:
● "H" means balancing with a half feather key
● "F" means balancing with a whole feather key.

Pushing on the power output elements

● Make sure that the balancing method of the output element is correct!
● If the power output element is shorter than the feather key with balancing type "H", then
you must machine off the section of feather key protruding from the shaft contour and
output element in order to maintain the balance quality.
● Power output elements may only be pushed on or pulled off with the correct equipment.

WARNING
The feather key can fall out
The featherkeys are only secured during transport to prevent them from falling out. If a
machine with two shaft extensions does not have an output element on one shaft
extension, the feather key can fall out during operation.
Death or serious injury can result.
On shaft extensions without output element, make sure that the feather key cannot fall
out and shorten it by approximately half for balance type "H".

5.3 Fixing

Requirements
In order to ensure smooth, vibration-free motor operation, a stable foundation design in
accordance with DIN 4024 is required, the motor must be precisely aligned, and the
components, which are to be mounted on the shaft end, must be correctly balanced. In
addition, vibration speeds must meet the requirements of DIN ISO 10816-3.

Fixing by means of motor feet

● The contact surfaces of the motor feet must lie on one plane. If the motor needs to be
aligned, position metal shims underneath the feet in order to prevent machine
deformation.
The number of shims should be kept as low as possible i.e. stack as few as possible.
● Select M12 size screws to ISO 898-1 suitable for the load conditions.

5.4 Open the condensation water drain holes

Alignment accuracy for coupling output

The maximum concentricity of the shafts of the motor and the driven machine is a diameter
of 0.05 mm.

NOTICE
Fixing by means of flange only
The flange is only used to transfer the torque. Due to the empty weight or as a result of
vibrations that arise if the flange is too soft, the motor can be damaged if it is only fastened
via the flange.
If the motor is to be fixed by means of the flange only, reduce the speed to max. 3000 rpm
with a rigid flange.
Fasten the flange motors via a stable motor suspension and support them via the end
shield feet (foot flange type of construction). When carrying out commissioning, make sure
that the vibration values permitted in accordance with DIN ISO 10816-3 are maintained.

5.4 Open the condensation water drain holes

In the bearing shields at the DE and NDE, a water drain hole ① is situated in the foot area
and another opposite the regreasing device. On delivery, the water drain holes are sealed
with a plug.

6.2.12 Connection to a converter

Selecting and connecting the cable

● Use Motion Connect cables or symmetrically constructed, shielded cables to connect the
motor to a converter. The cable shielding, made up of as many strands as possible, must
have good electrical conductivity. Braided shields made of copper or aluminum are well
suited.
● The shield must be connected at both ends to the motor and the converter; unshielded
cable ends must be kept as short as possible.
● To ensure effective discharge of high-frequency currents, make the shield contact over
the largest possible area, i.e. as a 360° contact on the converter and motor, e.g. using
EMC glands at the cable entry points.

Measures to reduce bearing currents

To specifically reduce and prevent damage caused by bearing currents, you must consider
the system as a whole, which comprises the motor, converter, and driven machine. The
following precautions help to prevent bearing currents:
● Setting up a properly meshed grounding system in the system as a whole, with low
impedance for high-frequency currents
● No potential difference between the motor, converter, and working machine.
– Use symmetrical, shielded connecting cables.
– Connect the cable shield at both ends over the greatest possible surface area (360°
contact).
– Use equipotential bonding conductors between the motor and driven machine, motor
and converter and inside the motor
● Use iron cores mounted above the motor connecting cable at the converter output. These
help to reduce common-mode components. The Siemens sales representative is
responsible for selection and dimensioning.
● Limit the voltage rate of rise by using an output filter to dampen harmonic components in
the output voltage

6.2.13 Converter operation on a grounded network

Parallel PE conductor
In the case of current-limited converters without ground fault monitoring, PE conductor
currents of up to 1.7 times the external conductor current can arise if there is a ground fault
on the output side. Neither the PE conductors of normally rated multi-core connecting cables
nor the PE connecting points of normal terminal boxes are suitable for this purpose.
● Use an appropriately sized parallel PE conductor.
● Connect the parallel PE conductor to the grounding terminal on the motor enclosure.

7.3 Checking the insulation resistance

Checking the insulation resistance

After long storage or shutdown periods, the insulation resistance of the windings must be
measured to ground with direct voltage.

CAUTION
Before you begin measuring the insulation resistance, please read the manual for the
insulation resistance meter you are going to use.

WARNING
Hazardous voltage
During the measurement, and immediately afterwards, hazardous voltage levels are
applied on some of the terminals and they should not be touched. Touching live
components can be result in death or serious injury.
Never touch the terminals when measuring or immediately after the measurement.
Check the supply feeder cables connected in order to ensure that the line supply voltage
cannot be connected.

● Always measure the insulation resistance of the winding to the motor enclosure when the
winding temperature is between 20 and 30°C.
● When measuring, wait until the final resistance value is reached; this takes approximately
one minute.

Limit values
The table below specifies the measuring circuit voltage as well as the limit values for the
minimum insulation resistance and the critical insulation resistance with a rated motor
voltage of UN < 2 kV:

Table 7-1 Stator winding insulation resistance at 25 °C

Rated voltage UN < 2 kV

Measuring circuit voltage 500 V (at least 100 V)
Minimum insulation resistance with new, cleaned or repaired 10 MΩ
windings
Critical specific insulation resistance after a long operating 5 MΩ/kV
time
Note the following:
● Dry, new windings have insulation resistance of between 100 and 2000 MΩ, or possibly
values that are even higher.
If the insulation resistance is close to the minimum value, then the cause could be
humidity and/or fouling.
● Over its operating lifetime, the motor winding insulation resistance can drop due to
ambient and operational influences. The critical insulation resistance for a temperature of
25°C on the winding can be calculated by multiplying the rated voltage (kV) by the
specific critical resistance value (5 MΩ/kV);

A5E02098977A AB
Siemens AG Operating Instructions 3.00 1PH818 45
Commissioning
7.4 Switching on

Example: Critical resistance for a rated voltage (UN) of 500 V:

500 V x 5 MΩ/kV = 2.5 MΩ

NOTICE
Cleaning and/or drying the windings when reaching critical insulation resistance
If the critical insulation resistance is less than or equal to this value, the windings must
be dried or, if the fan is removed, cleaned thoroughly and dried.
Note that the insulation resistance of dried, clean windings is lower than that of warm
windings. The insulation resistance can only be evaluated accurately when measured
on a winding that has been cooled down to room temperature (approx. 20 to 30°C).

NOTICE
Measured value close to critical value
If the measured value is close to the critical value, the insulation resistance should be
subsequently checked at appropriately frequent intervals.
Values apply for measurement at a winding temperature of 25 °C.

7.4 Switching on
● Before you switch on the motor ensure that the parameters of the frequency converter
have been assigned correctly.
● Use appropriate commissioning tools, such as "Drive ES" or "STARTER".

CAUTION
Operation noise or abnormal noises
The motor can be damaged by improper handling during transport, storage or set up. If
a damaged motor is operated damage to the winding, bearings or, complete destruction
of the motor can be the result.
If the motor is not running smoothly or is emitting abnormal noises, de-energize it, and
determine the cause of the fault as the motor runs down.

NOTICE
Pay attention to the maximum rotational speed
The maximum rotational speed nmax is the highest permissible operating speed.
The maximum rotational speed is specified on the rating plate.

8.1 Safety notes during operation

WARNING
Do not remove covers when the motor is running
Rotating or live parts are dangerous. Death, serious injury, or material damage can result if
the required covers are removed.
All covers that are designed to prevent active or rotating parts from being touched, ensure
compliance with a particular degree of protection, or that are required for ensuring proper
air guidance and, in turn, effective cooling must not be opened during operation.

WARNING
Faults in operation
Deviations from normal operation such as increased power consumption, temperatures or
vibrations, unusual noises or odors, tripping of monitoring devices, etc., indicate that the
machine is not functioning properly. This can cause faults which can result in eventual or
immediate death, serious injury, or material damage.
Immediately inform the maintenance personnel. If you are in doubt, immediately switch off
the motor, being sure to observe the system-specific safety conditions!

CAUTION
Fire hazard
Certain parts of the machine may reach temperatures above 100 °C. Touching them can
result in burns.
Check the temperature of the parts before touching them and take appropriate protective
measures if necessary.

CAUTION
Risk of corrosion due to condensate
During motor operation, humid air can condense inside the machine. Condensate can
collect inside the motor. Damage such as rust can result.
The motor is equipped with condensation water drain holes. Make sure that the
condensation can drain away freely.

8.2 Stoppages

8.2 Stoppages

Measures when motors are at standstill and ready for operation

● For longer periods when the motor is not being used, either energize the motor at regular
intervals (roughly once a month), or at least spin the rotor.
● Please refer to the section "Energizing" before restarting the motor.

NOTICE
Damage due to improper storage
The motor can be damaged if it is not stored properly.
If the motor is out of service for extended periods of time, implement suitable anti-
corrosion, preservation, and drying measures.
When restarting the motor after a long shutdown period, carry out the measures
recommended in the section entitled "Commissioning".

8.3 Do not operate without cooling water supply

The motor must always be connected to the cooling water supply during operation.

CAUTION
Cooling water supply
If the cooling water supply fails or if the motor is operated for a short time without water
cooling, the motor will overheat. This can result in material damage or even a write-off.
Never operate the motor without the cooling water supply switched on. Monitor the
permissible water inlet temperatures.

WARNING
Risk of burning from hot steam
If the cooling water supply fails, the motor will overheat. If cooling water runs into the hot
motor, hot steam suddenly forms, which escapes under high pressure. The cooling water
system can burst. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Do not connect the cooling water supply until the motor has cooled down.

8.4 Switching off

Measures when switching off

● When switching off, pay attention to the operating instructions of the frequency converter.
● Switch off the cooling water supply if the standstill period is expected to be lengthy.

9.1.2.3 Rolling-contact bearings

The motors have rolling-contact bearing bushes for grease lubrication. Depending on the
version, the motors are permanently lubricated or are equipped with a regreasing device.
Depending on the type of load, a deep-groove ball bearing or a cylindrical-roller bearing is
fitted as a floating bearing on the drive end. For the bearing assignments as well as the
associated permissible lateral forces and minimum loads when cylindrical-roller bearings are
installed at the drive end, refer to the catalog or contact your sales partner.
The DE bearing contains built-in compression springs that help to rebalance the axial play of
the external bearing rings.

9.1.2.4 Cleaning the spent grease chamber

The rolling-contact bearing's spent grease chamber only has room for a limited amount of
spent grease. When the spent grease chamber is full, the spent grease must be removed,
otherwise it will penetrate into the interior of the machine. The amount of grease used for
each regreasing operation is shown on the lubricant plate. When changing the bearings
remove the spent grease that has collected in the spent grease chamber and in the outer
bearing cover.
To remove the spent grease, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the transmission element.
2. Remove the spent grease:
– At the DE, unscrew the outer bearing cover and empty the spent grease from the
outer bearing cover.
– At the NDE, remove the cover of the speed sensor and the cover of the spent grease
chamber. Empty the spent grease chamber.

9.1.2.5 Lubrication

NOTICE
Comply with the lubrication intervals
The bearings can be damaged if the lubricating intervals are not maintained.
Keep to the general lubrication interval, see Maintenance intervals.

The lubrication intervals apply for normal loads, operation at speeds corresponding to those
specified on the rating plate, precision-balanced running, almost neutral ambient air, and the
use of high-quality rolling-contact bearing greases.

Grease types
The following high-quality rolling-contact bearing greases have been tested and are suitable:

Table 9-2 Rolling-contact bearing greases

K3N greases
ESSO / Unirex N3
ARAL / Aralub 4340
DEA / Glissando 30
ESSO / Beacon 3
FUCHS / Renolit FWA 220
WINTERSHALL / Wiolub LFK 3
LUBRICANT CONSULT / Thermoplex 2TML
These greases have lithium soap as the thickening agent and mineral oil as the base oil.
They exceed the standard requirements of DIN 51825 in several important respects and are,
therefore, compatible with the specified regreasing intervals.

NOTICE
Damage from mixing lubrication types
Mixing greases with different thickeners and thickening agents can worsen the lubricating
properties of the rolling-contact bearing grease. This can damage the rolling-contact
bearing.
Never mix greases that have different thickening agents and different base oils.

Initial lubrication
ESSO / Unirex N3 grease is used for initial lubrication of the bearings (prior to delivery).

10.1 Ordering data
When ordering spare parts, in addition to the precise designation of the spare part, specify
the motor type and the serial number of the motor. Ensure that the spare part designation
matches the designation in the spare part lists and add the associated part number.
Example:

Bearing shield, drive end (Part 5.00)

Motor type 1PH818
Serial number N-1234567010001
The machine type and the serial number are indicated on the rating plate and in the technical
data, and are also embossed on the drive end of the shaft.

Note
You can also read the machine type and serial number from the bar code on the rating plate.

The graphical representations in this chapter show schematic diagrams of the basic
versions. They are used for spare parts definitions. The supplied version may differ in details
from these representations.

10.2 Replacing rolling-contact bearings

When ordering rolling-contact bearings, in addition to the bearing identification code, the
supplementary specifying code is also necessary for the bearing version. Both of these
codes are stamped on the lubricant plate and specified in the motor documentation, or can
also be taken from the installed bearings.

10.3 Using commercially available spare parts

You can use commercially available, standard components, but ensure that they have the
same construction type, dimensions, strength class etc.

11.1 Disposal

Components
Sort the components for recycling according to whether they are:
● Electronics waste, e.g., sensor electronics
● Iron to be recycled
● Aluminum
● Non-ferrous metal, e.g., motor windings
● Insulating materials

Process materials and chemicals

Sort the process materials and chemicals for recycling according to whether they are:
● Oil
Dispose of the spent oil as special waste in accordance with the spent oil ordinance.
● Grease
● Solvents
● Cleaner solvent
● Paint residues
Do not mix solvents, cleaner solvents and paint residues.

Insulating materials
Electrical insulation materials are mainly used in the stator. Some supplementary
components are made of similar materials and must, therefore, be handled in the same
manner. The insulating materials in question are used on the following items of equipment:
● Various insulators which are used in terminals boxes
● Voltage and current transformers
● Electric cables
● Instrument wiring
● Surge arrester

A5E02098977A AB
Siemens AG Operating Instructions 3.00 1PH818 79
Decommissioning
11.1 Disposal

● Capacitors

Copper recovery
Some components, such as the stator, contain a considerable amount of copper. This
copper can be recovered from the electrical insulation in a heat treatment process which
involves gasifying the organic binding materials. To ensure proper burning of the vapors, the
oven must have an appropriate afterburner. The following conditions are recommended for
heat-treating and afterburning in order to minimize the emissions from the process:

Table 11-1 Heat treating

Temperature 380 to 420 °C (716 to 788 °F)

Duration Once 90% of the target temperature has been reached, the
object must be kept at that temperature for at least five hours.

Table 11-2 Afterburning of the binding material vapors

Temperature 850 to 920 °C (1562 to 1688 °F)

Flow velocity ° The binding material vapors must remain in the combustion
chamber for at least 3 seconds.

NOTICE
Emissions
The emissions primarily consist of O2-, CO-, CO2-, NOx-, CxHy gases and microscopic
particles. As the operator, it is your responsibility to ensure that the heat treatment process
complies with local regulations.

Anti-corrosion agent
Anti-corrosion agents that cover the motor's surface can be removed by means of a
gasoline-based cleaning agent and a rag. Dispose of the rag in accordance with local
regulations.
