OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

SUPERBREED MOTORS
TYPES 1LAO/1PD0/1MAO

General :The Superbreed motors are 3phase cage induction motors, totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) type for low-voltage supply.
General purpose motors type 1LA0 and textile motors type 1PD0 generally conform to IS:325. 1MA0 motors are increased
safety motors generally conforming to IS:6381.The motors comply with type of protection IP55 in accordance with IS : 4691.
The degree of protection of the motor supplied isspecified on the rating plate.
Unless otherwise specified, the rated outputs apply to continuous duty(S1) at a frequency of 50Hz, an ambient temperature of
40 centigrade and site altitude not exceeding 1000m above mean sea level.
Terminal Box
The Terminal Boxes conform to type of protection IP55 in accordance with IS : 4691.
For foot mounted motors the terminal box is provided on top as a standard feature. If specifically ordered terminal box position
on right to left hand side(When viewed from Drive-end)can be supplied.
In order to provide for different directions of cable entry the orientation of the terminal box can be altered in steps in 90.The
larger terminal boxes are normally provided with detachable inclined cable gland plate which can also be rotated in steps of
180.
For detail information about terminal boxes refer supplementary instructions `Terminal Boxes 1XB7
.
Inspection storage & transport
Check the packing of the motor on arrival and in case any damage is observed please repo
rt to out office.
Make sure that the right type of motor as ordered by you has arrived.
In the motor is not be installed immediately, it should be stored in dry and vibration free room.
The rotor of the motors with cylindrical roller bearing or angular contact ball bearing is axially locked in position with the
help of sheet steel rotor locator at the shaft extension. This is to prevent damage to the bearings due to standstill vibrations
during transport. Do not remove this rotor locator until the motor is being coupled to the driven equipment. In special cases
where the motor is to be transported after the fitting of the transmission elements like coupling/pulley, other suitable
arrangement to secure the rotor must be made.
The motors of vertical type of construction with angular contact ball bearing (2pole motors of frame 315 and above) should be
transported in vertical condition only. If horizontal transportation is a must, lock the rotor axially in position with the help of
rotor locator.
Mounting :All standard motors up to frame size 315M (except 2 pole motors of frame 315M) are suitable for horizontal as well as vertical
mounting. i.e. Standard foot mounted motor can be used in IM-B3,B6,B7,B8,V5,V6 constructions or flange mounted motor
can be used in IM -B5,V1,V3 construction.
Whenever the foot mounted motors have facility for mounting with alternative fixing distances corresponding to S&M or
M&L frame designations, two holes are provided on the mounting feet at non-drive end. Corresponding letters S,M.L are
indicated near the fixing holes on the mounting feet.
Installation :Remove rotor locator (when provided) from the shaft extension .Check the free running of the rotor by rotating the shaft by
hard.
The shaft extension of the motor is coated with an anticorrosion agent. To remove this coating use kerosene/thinner. Do not
use sandpaper or scraper.
Before mounting the motor see that the motor feet are properly cleaned.

The transmission elements to be fitted should be dynamically balanced. Please note that the rotors of the motors are
dynamically balanced with half key inserted in the shaft extension of the motor. Transmission elements must be fitted and
removed only by means of suitable tool.
Install the motor in such a manner that the cooling air has free access and can escape unobstructed. Clean the entire path of the
motor at regular intervals to remove any foreign deposits, preferable by means of compressed air.
Motor are provided with plugged drain-holes, located at lowermost point on both the endshields for drainage of condensate
water. If the water drain holes are to be used in case of machines with type construction IM-B6,B7,B8(Mounting feet at side or
top), it is necessary to rotate the endshields so that these holes are no longer between the mounting feet, but at the lowermost
point of the motor.
For foot mounted motors to be fixed on the wall a support should be provided for the mounting feet from below.
Initial lubrication of bearings is carried out in works. The bearings should relubricated if the time between delivery and
commissioning of the motor is more than 4 years with ideal storage conditions(dry,vibration free rooms) or more than 2 years
if storage conditions are unfavourable.
If the drive end of machinesfaces upwards, ensure that water is prevented from entering the upper bearing.
If belt drive is used, install the machine in such a manner that it can be shifted on its base(e.g. on slide rails) to obtain correct
belt tension. Excessive belt tension mayresult in damage to the
bearing and/or shaft. For permissible radial load on shaft extension and recommended pulley sizes refer the SIEMENS
Catalogue or contact our office.
Due attention should be given to the measures necessary to prevent accidence touching of rotating parts(coupling, pulleys,
etc.).
Connecting up :Examine the rating plate data and ensure that it matches with the power circuit to which the motor is to be connected. Select
the size of supply cables as required for the particular current rating. Connect the supply cables in accordance with the
connection diagram shown inside the terminal box cover.
Ensure that direction of rotation of the motor is as required. For induction motors, the direction of rotation can be reversed by
interchanging two supply phase connections in the terminal box. All motors of types 1PD0,1LA0 and 1MA0 are suitable for
bi-directional rotation
Before closing the terminal box ensure
that :
- Interior of the terminal box is clean and free of cable residue.
- All terminal screws and bolts are firmly tightened.
- Minimum air-clearance (>10mm unto 500V > 14mm unto 1000v) is maintained.
- Unused cable entries are sealed off with the plugging elements firmly screwed in.
- All sealing surfaces have adequate contact.
Clean the area underneath the earthing terminal and smear it with petroleum jelly before making earthling connections.
When the motors are provided with anti-condensation heaters, ensure that the supply to heaters is switched off before
switching on the motor.
Before starting and during operation, make sure that all relevant safety regulations are complied with.
Insulation Check
Before commissioning and after long periods of storage or standstill, the insulation resistance of the windings to the frame
should be measured at 500V DC. Minimum insulation resistance value in Mega Ohm(at 40 C) As specified in IS : 7816 is Rm
= kV + 1 where kV is the rated voltage of the machine. Thus insulation resistance of the windings should not be less than 2
Mega Ohm. If the value is found less than 2 Mega Ohm, the windings must be suitable dried as per IS : 900.

Bearing & Lubrication :

All motors, as a standard feature, are provided with floating bearing at drive-end and fixed bearing at non-drive end.
Motors up to and including frame size 225 are provided with prelubricated bearing (without grease nipples) and motors of
frame size 250 and above are provided with regreasing arrangement (grease nipples). If required and ordered motors up to
frame size 225 also are provided with regreasing arrangement.
Prelubricated Bearings :
For initial lubrication of bearings lithium base grease of Grade-3 (NLGI No.3) as per IS : 7623 is used e.g. SERVOGEM
3of Indian oil or MP3of Bharat Refineries. Under normal operating conditions the grease charge of bearings without
regreasing arrangement normally lasts for several years. If the operating conditions allow, the bearing should be cleaned and
regreased.
- After 20,000 operating hours or 3 years in case of motors with speeds upto 1800 rev/min.
- After 10,000 operating hours or 1 years in case of motors with speeds upto 1800 rev/min whichever occurs first.
These intervals apply for normal loading conditions. Low-vibration running, approximately natural ambient air and assuming
high-quality rolling bearing grease is used. In case of doubh, shorter intervals should be allowed for.
Regreasable bearings :
In case of motors with regreasing arrangement(Grease nipples), it is recommended that the greasing instructions given on the
lubrication data plate should be followed.
Mixing greases of different thickeners and basic oils reduce the quality and should be therefore be avoided.
Only in special cases should deviations be made from the usual greasing data. The regreasing interval should be shortened for
instance, if the motors are operated at ambient air temperatures higher than originally allowed for, or if corrosive vapour occur
or extremely heavy contamination is present.
While regreasing clean the greasing nipple and press in the grease stipulated on the lubrication data plate using grease gun. At
the same time the shaft should be rotating in order that the new grease is distributed uniformly in bearing. After regreasing,
the bearing temperature will rise by a few degrees and will drop to the normal value when the grease has reached its normal
service viscosity and the excess grease has been forced out of the bearing.
The old grease from several regreasing operations gathers in the space inside the outer bearing cover/endshields. Remove the
old grease while overhauling the machine.
Maintenance :
Periodic overhauling of the motor is recommended to ensure long trouble free service.
Before starting the maintenance work make sure that the supply is disconnected. These motors are provided with closely
pitched ribs for effective cooling of the motor. These ribs should be cleaned at regular intervals either by oil free compressed
air, or by scraping depending on the level of contamination.
The inside of the motor should be cleaned using dry compressed air during normal overhauling of the motor.

Special care should be taken while cleaning the windings to remove loose dust, moisture etc.

Dismantling
Fans

The axial locking of thermoplastic fans is provided with the built-in tongues which engage in the groove on the shaft.
Thermoplastic fans have two openings for the insertion of puller arms so that the pulling force can directly act on the fan
-hub.
For removal of fans only proper puller is to be used .Hammering is strictly not permitted since the same can damage fans. In
case of fans with built in tongues for axial locking, the same should be temporarily held in lifted up position at the time of
removal.
Cast-iron fans are axially locked with separate circlip. Cast-iron fans are best removed by engaging the puller arms on the
outer rim of the fan. In case of larger fans the puller holes provided on the hub can be used.
- Bearings :
For removing bearing use proper pullers. Reusable bearings which are non-separable (e.g. Deep groove ball bearing) should be
withdrawn by attaching the puller arms to inner ring of the bearing. If it is a must to apply puller arms on the outer ring of the
bearing, the bearing should be rotated during withdrawal to avoid damage to the bearing.
Removal of bearings or inner rings which are not to be re-used is facilitated by heating them with gas or welding torch.
RE-ASSEMBLY
The motors must be assembled in dustfree dry and clean location.
As the motors conform to type ofprotection IP55 in accordance with IS : 4691 all machined mating surfaces are
provided with a thin even coat of Bearing Grease.
Provide a fresh coat of this grease at the time of re-assembly.
Unmachined surfaces are provided with rubber gaskets. At thetime of reassembly ensure that the gaskets are in good condition. Replace the gaskets
carefully to achieve correct sealing. Replace the gaskets with new ones if the same are damaged.
Al fasteners that are used on the exterior of the motor are provided with a coat of Bearing Grease to prevent ingress of water
and dust through tapped holes. Ensure that the same is provided at the time of re-assembly.

BEARINGS

A bearing must be replaced if it is damaged. Damage to bearings is often hard to recognize; in doubtful cases replace the
bearing. Bearings which have been removed should be reused only if they show no trace of damage and provided they are
thoroughly cleaned beforehand.
For cleaning bearings use proper cleaning agent e.g. While spirit. Wear gloves.
Caution : The cleaned bearing must be free of foreign bodies (fibres from cleaning rags, hair from brushes, etc.)
It is recommended that the new rolling bearings be installed as follows :
Heat the Deep Groove Ball Bearing or the inner race of separable bearings (Roller/Angular contact ball bearing) in oil or air to
a temperature of app. 80C and slip them onto the shaft. Heavy blows may damage the bearings and must be avoided. When
installing single angular contact ball bearings, make sure that the broad shoulder of the inner race is with operating position
pointing upwards i.e. in a direction opposite to that of the axial force.
After fitting, the bearings should be filled with sufficient quantity of grease.
Rule of thumb :
``The bore diameterof bearing in mm=The minimum amount of grease to be filled in gms.

89.32
5 OF 6

In case of Prelubricated bearings the bearing covers should be filled with

onethird capacity with grease. In case of regreasable bearings fill only the grease ducts in the endshield and inner bearing
cover.
When assembling the shaft sealing rings ensure that they are fitted properly.
Ensure that the V rings are in the proper axial position. This is ensured with the help of auxiliary shim such that the bearing
cover face/endshield face and outer edge of the V-ring are flush.
Note for Information.
Motors provided with Roller Bearings on the drive end side have very high dynamic capacity. As per Bearing Manufacturers,
the Roller Bearing performs satisfactorily only when it is physically loaded to approximately 1-2% of its dynamic capacity. In
view of this, the Roller
Bearing may not run smooth when the motor is run uncoupled.
Spare Parts
When ordering the spare parts, please indicate the correct motor type and serial no N8/ of themotor as shown on the rating
plate and also the correct part description. This will ensure speedy and
correct delivery of spare parts.
