with the construction and operation of this equipment and
!
the hazards involved should install, adjust, operate, and/or
service this motor. Read and understand this manual in its
entirety before proceeding. Failure to observe this
precautioncouldresult in severe bodily injuryorlossof life.
Thoroughly inspect this equipment before accepting shipment from
the transportation company.If any of the goods called for in the bill of
lading or express receipt are damaged or the quantity is short, do not
accept them until the freight or express agent makes an appropriate
notation on your freight bill or express receipt. If any concealed loss
or damage is discovered later, notify your freight or express agent at
once and request him to make an inspection. We are willing to assist
you in collecting claims for loss or damage in shipment; however, this
willingness on our part does not remove the transportation company's
responsibility in reimbursing you for collection of claims or
replacement of material. Claims for loss or damage in shipment must
not be deducted from the invoice, nor should payment of the invoice
be withheld awaiting adjustment of such claims, as the carrier
guarantees safe delivery.
If considerable damage has been incurred and the situation is urgent,
contact the nearest Allen-Bradley Sales Office for assistance. Please
keep a written record of all such communications.

Storage Conditions - Short Term
Following are requirements for storage:
1. Motors must be kept in their original containers (or with
equivalent protection). In addition, they must be stored in a
warehouse free from extremes in temperature, humidity and
corrosive atmosphere.
2. If unusual vibrations exist at the storage location, the motor
should be protected with isolation pads.
3. All breathers and drains are to be operable while in storage and/or
the moisture drain plugs should be removed. The motors must be
stored so the drain is at the lowest point.
Storage Preparation
Improper storage of electric machines will result in seriously reduced
reliability of that equipment.
For example, the following items can occur to an electric motor that
does not experience regular usage while exposed to normally humid
atmospheric conditions:
•Bearings may rust.
•Rust particles from surrounding surfaces may contaminate the
bearings.
•The electrical insulation may absorb an excessive amount of
moisture leading to the motor winding failing to ground.
4Standard Industrial AC Induction Motors
The following preparations should be followed:
1. Minimize condensation in and around the motor by use of
desiccants or other humidity control methods.
2. Motor space heaters, when specified, must be energized when
there is a possibility that the ambient storage conditions will
reach the dew point. Space heaters are an option.
3. Coat all external machined surfaces with a material to prevent
corrosion. An acceptable product for this purpose is Exxon Rust
Ban #392 (or equivalent).
4. Measure and record the electrical resistance of the winding
insulation witha megger or insulation resistance meter. Minimum
accepted megohm level is the insulation kv rating + 1 megohm.If
levels fall below this value, contact your Allen-Bradley Sales
Office. The recorded data will be needed when the motor is
removed from storage.
5. Some motors have a shipping brace attached to the shaft to
prevent damage during transportation. The shipping brace, if
provided, must be removed and stored for future use. Before the
motor is moved, the brace must be reinstalled to hold the shaft
firmly in place against the bearing.
6. When placing the motor into extended storage (greater than 3
months), the motors with regreasable bearings must be greased
per
Table A. The motor shaft must then be rotated a minimum of
15 times after greasing. Non-regreasable motors with a “Do Not
Lubricate” nameplate should also be rotated 15 times to
redistribute grease within the bearing.
7. Before lubricating the motor, remove the grease drain plug
(opposite the grease fitting) on the bottom of each end bracket.
Replace the plug after greasing.
8. When the motor is placed into extended storage, regreasable
bearings must be greased (see
Table A). Motor shafts are to be
rotated 15 revolutions manually every 3 months and additional
grease added every nine months to each bearing (see
Table A).
Bearings must be greased at the time of removal from storage.
Shafts on non-regreasable motors should be rotated 15
revolutions every 3 months.
9. All breather drains should be fully operable while in storage. The
motors must be stored so the drain is at the lowest point. All
breathers and automatic “T” drains must be operable to allow
breathing at points other than through the bearing fits.

10. Space heaters, when specified, are to be connected and operable
while in storage.
11. Windings must be meggered at the time equipment is put in
storage (refer to step 4 on page 4). When the motor is removed
from storage, the insulation resistance must not have dropped
more than 50% from the initial reading. Any drop below this
point necessitates electrical or mechanical drying.
12. When motors are not stored in the original containers, but are
removed and mounted on other pieces of machinery, the
mounting must be such that the drains/breathers and space
heaters are fully operable. In this respect, the drains must be kept
at the lowest point in the motor so that all condensation can
automatically drain out.
Storage for Extended Periods (greater than 18 months)
All of the preceding requirements described in this document apply,
with the following additional requirements.
1. Motor must be crated in a box similar to Export Boxing, but the
“shell” (sides and top of box) will be lag-bolted to the wooden
base (not nailed). This design will allow the box to be opened and
closed many times without destroying the “shell.”
2. The motor will be sealed in an airtight vapor barrier bag with
desiccant inside. This airtight bag will give added protection
during shipment of motor to the permanent storage area.
3. After the first “inspection” (for megger reading, turing the shaft,
etc.) it is recommended that the vapor bag be re-sealed with
masking tape (or similar method). New desiccant should also be
added inside the bag before closing. Once closed, place the shell
over the motor and replace the lap bolts.
4. If a “zipper” type of bag is used (instead of a “heat-sealed” bag),
then close the bag with the zipper (instead of taping).
5. New desiccant must be added inside the bag after each periodic
inspection.
6. Minimize the accumulation of condensed water in and around the
machine.
Unpacking
After unpacking and inspecting, turn the motor shaft by hand to
assure that there are no obstructions to free rotation.
Equipment which has been in storage for some time should be tested
and relubricated (regreasable type) prior to being put into service.
Refer to “Test General Condition” and “Lubrication” for procedure to
be performed after extended storage.
Equipment with roller bearings is shipped with a shaft block. After
removing the shaft block, be sure to replace any bolts that are
required in service and that were used to hold the shaft block in place
during shipment.

InstallationInspection
After the motor is unpacked, examine the nameplate data to see that it
agrees with the power circuit to which it is to be connected. The
motor will operate with frequency not more than 5% and voltage not
more than 10% above or below the nameplate data, or combined
variation of voltage and frequency of not more than 10% above or be
low nameplate data. Efficiency, power factor and current may vary
from nameplate data. Performance within these voltage and
frequency variations will not necessarily be in accordance with the
standards established for operation at rated voltage and frequency.
Location
The motor should be installed in a location compatible with the motor
enclosure and specific ambient.
To allow adequate air flow, the following clearances must be
maintained between the motor and any obstruction:
TEFC (IC0141) Enclosures
