Description
Rolling-contact bearings
The machines are equipped with different types of rolling-contact bearings depending on the version and the operating conditions described in the order. The different types are listed on the lubricant plate of the machine. In converter operation an insulated bearing is usually installed on the non-drive end. The following rolling-contact bearing variants are available:

● Drive end: Deep-groove ball bearing as a fixed bearing
● Non-drive end: Deep-groove ball bearing as a floating bearing with axial compression springs
● Drive end: Cylindrical-roller bearing as a floating bearing
● Non-drive end: Deep-groove ball bearing as a fixed bearing
● Drive end: Deep-groove ball bearing as a fixed bearing
● Non-drive end: Deep-groove ball bearing as a floating bearing with axial compression springs
● Drive end: Pairing of angular-contact ball bearing / deep-groove ball bearing as a fixed bearing
● Non-drive end: Deep-groove ball bearing as a floating bearing with axial compression springs
The standard version of the machine is not suitable for belt couplings. This can result in damage to the machine.
Automatic regreasing system (option)
The roller bearings are optionally equipped with an automatic regreasing system. The roller bearings are supplied with new grease portions by the regreasing system in parameterized time intervals.
Rolling-contact bearing design for "Increased degree of protection" (option)
Improved sealing of the bearing units to prevent dust and water from getting in can be achieved by positioning a grease chamber ahead of the actual bearing unit. Although the same grease is used in both cases for reasons of convenience, a distinction is made here between "lubricating grease" and "sealing grease" because of their different functions.
Layout The spent lubricating grease collects in the space between the bearing housing and the outer
bearing cap. The latter also forms the sealing grease chamber with the labyrinth sealing ring (optional). The second lubricating nipple containing the grease duct for pressing in the sealing grease is also located in the outer bearing cap. The chamber is sealed off from the space where the lubricating grease collects by a V-ring or a V-ring and felt ring combination which prevents the sealing grease in the chamber from penetrating into the lubricating grease collecting space.

Biocides
Preparations for use
4.6 Coolant specification
Closed cooling circuits with soft water (°dH > 4) are susceptible to microbes. The risk of corrosion caused by microbes is virtually non-existent in chlorinated drinking water systems. No strain of bacteria can survive when the appropriate quantity of anti-freeze is added. The following microbes can occur:
● Bacteria that cause the formation of slime
● Corrosive bacteria
● Bacteria that cause deposits of iron
The type of bacteria determines the suitability of a biocide. At least one water analysis per annum (to determine the number of bacterial colonies) is recommended. You can purchase suitable biocides, for example from Nalco.
Note Determining the appropriate biocide
The type of bacteria determines the biocide. Antifreeze already has a biocidal effect for the minimum concentration specified above.
● The manufacturer's recommendations must be followed in regard to the dosage and compatibility with any inhibitor that might be used.
● Never mix biocides and anti-freeze.

If the machine has not been properly aligned, this will mean the fastening parts are subjected to stress/distortion. Screws may become loose or break, the machine will move, machine parts could be flung out of place. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Carefully align the machine to the driven machine.
Material damage caused by improper handling
Mounting parts such as temperature sensors or speed sensors are attached to the machine and could be ripped off or destroyed as a result of improper handling. This could lead to machine malfunctions, extending even to total loss of the machine.
● Where necessary, use suitable steps when performing installation work on the machine.
● Do not stand on cables or attachments during installation. Do not use attachments as steps.

Damage to mounted parts and components as a result of high temperatures
The motor components get very hot during operation. High temperatures can damage parts mounted by customers, such as cables manufactured out of materials that are not heat resistant.
● Temperature-sensitive parts must not come into contact with or be attached to components mounted on the machine.
● Only use heat-resistant mounting parts. The connecting cables and cable entries must be suitable for the particular application.
Loss of conformity with European directives
In the delivery state, the machine corresponds to the requirements of the European directives. Unauthorized changes or modifications to the machine lead to the loss of conformity with European Directives and the loss of the associated warranty.
5.2 Preparations for installation

5.2.1 Requirements for installation

The following requirements must be satisfied prior to starting installation work:
● Staff have access to the operating and installation instructions.
● The machine is unpacked and ready for mounting at the installation location.
● Measure the insulation resistance of the winding before starting any installation work. If the insulation resistance lies below the specified value, take appropriate remedial measures. These remedial measures may necessitate the machine being removed again and transported.

5.2.2 Insulation resistance and polarization index

Measuring the insulation resistance and polarization index (PI) provides information on the condition of the machine. It is therefore important to check the insulation resistance and the polarization index at the following times:
● Before starting up a machine for the first time
● After an extended period in storage or downtime
● Within the scope of maintenance work
The following information is provided regarding the state of the winding insulation:
● Is the winding head insulation conductively contaminated?
● Has the winding insulation absorbed moisture?
SIMOTICS FD 1LN1
56 Operating Instructions 01/2019
As such, you can determine whether the machine needs commissioning or any necessary measures such as cleaning and/or drying the winding:
● Can the machine be put into operation?
● Must the windings be cleaned or dried?
Detailed information on testing and the limit values can be found here:
"Testing the insulation resistance and polarization index" (Page 57)

5.2.3 Testing the insulation resistance and polarization index

WARNING
Hazardous voltage at the terminals
During and immediately after measuring the insulation resistance or the polarization index (PI) of the stator winding, hazardous voltages may be present at some of the terminals. Contact with these can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● If any power cables are connected, check to make sure line supply voltage cannot be delivered.
● Discharge the winding after measurement until the risk is eliminated, e.g. using the following measures:
– Connect the terminals with the ground potential until the recharge voltage drops to a
non-hazardous level
– Attach the connection cable.
Assembly
5.2 Preparations for installation
Measure the insulation resistance
1. Before you begin measuring the insulation resistance, please read the operating manual for the insulation resistance meter you are going to use.
2. Short-circuit the ends of the temperature sensor cables before applying the test voltage. If the test voltage is connected to only one temperature sensor terminal, the temperature sensor will be destroyed.
3. Make sure that no power cables are connected.
4. Measure the winding temperature and the insulation resistance of the winding in relation to the machine enclosure. The winding temperature should not exceed 40° C during the measurement. Convert the measured insulation resistances in accordance with the formula to the reference temperature of 40° C. This thereby ensures that the minimum values specified can be compared.
5. Read out the insulation resistance one minute after applying the measuring voltage.

SIMOTICS FD 1LN1
58 Operating Instructions 01/2019
For a winding temperature of approx. 25° C, the minimum insulation resistances are 20 MΩ (U ≤ 1000 V) or 300 MΩ (U > 1000 V). The values apply for the complete winding to ground. Twice the minimum values apply to the measurement of individual assemblies.
● Dry, new windings have an insulation resistance of between 100 and 2000 MΩ, or possibly even higher values. An insulation resistance value close to the minimum value could be due to moisture and/or dirt accumulation. The size of the winding, the rated voltage and other characteristics affect the insulation resistance and may need to be taken into account when determining measures.
● Over its operating lifetime, the motor winding insulation resistance can drop due to ambient and operational influences. Calculate the critical insulation resistance value depending on the rated voltage by multiplying the rated voltage (kV) by the specific critical resistance value. Convert the value for the current winding temperature at the time of measurement, see above table.
Measuring the polarization index
1. To determine the polarization index, measure the insulation resistances after one minute and ten minutes.
2. Express the measured values as a ratio: PI =

● Requirements:
– The coupling and/or the output element must be appropriately dimensioned for the
operating case at hand. Carefully comply with the coupling manufacturer's instructions.
– Make sure that the balancing type of the transmission element correctly matches the
type of balance of the rotor.
– Use only ready drilled and balanced transmission elements. Check the hole diameters
and the balancing status before pulling them on. Thoroughly clean the shaft extension.
● Pulling on:
– Warm up the transmission elements to expand them before pulling them on. Select the
temperature difference for the heating process to suit the coupling diameter, fit and material. Carefully comply with the coupling manufacturer's instructions.
– Power output elements may only be pushed on or pulled off with the correct equipment.
The transmission element must be pulled on in one continuous operation via the front thread holes in the shaft or pushed on by hand.
– Do not strike it with a hammer, as this would damage the bearings.
Assembly
5.3 Lift the machine to where it will be installed, and position it
Shaft extensions with feather key
To maintain the balancing quality, you have the following options:
● If the transmission 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 transmission element in order to maintain the balance quality.
● If the transmission element is drawn up on to the shoulder of the shaft, you must ensure that
the part of the coupling groove where the feather key is not inserted is taken into consideration when balancing the coupling.
The following applies to all four-pole machines with a frequency ≥ 60 Hz:
● The feather key must be shortened if the coupling hub us shorter than the feather key.
● The center of gravity of the coupling half should be within the length of the shaft end.
● The coupling used must be prepared for system balancing.
The number of poles of the machine is specified on the rating plate, at the 10th position of the motor type. There, four-pole machines are marked with a "B".
Danger when feather keys are flung out
The feather key is only secured to prevent it falling out during transport. The feather key may be flung out if the motor is operated without fitted transmission elements, such as coupling, etc.
This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Only operate the motor with the transmission element pulled on.
● For test operation or when commissioning without transmission element, carefully secure
the feather key using a suitable locking element. When doing this, take into account the type of machine balancing.

Under the following conditions it is possible that condensate may accumulate within the machine:
● Wide fluctuations in the ambient temperature, such as direct sunshine combined with high atmospheric humidity
● Intermittent operation or load fluctuations during operation
NOTICE
Damage due to condensate
If the stator winding is damp, its insulation resistance will be reduced. This can result in voltage flashovers, which can destroy the winding. Condensate can also cause rust to form within the machine.
Ensure that condensate can drain away.
Depending on the type of installation, the water drainage holes are located at the bottom:
Allow the condensation water to discharge for vertical placement
In the DE bearing shield, water drain holes are located in the area of the mounting feet or opposite the regreasing system. They are sealed with screw plugs.

5.4.1 Preconditions for smooth, vibration-free operation

Preconditions for smooth, vibration-free operation:
● Stable foundation design
● Precise alignment of the machine
● Correct balancing of parts to be fitted to the shaft end.
● Maintaining the vibration velocity according to ISO 10816‑3

5.4.2 Aligning the machine to the driven machine and mounting (IM B3 / IM B35)

1. Refer to any instructions for aligning the driven machine and those of the coupling manufacturer.
2. Align the machines with coupling output to the driven machine in such a manner that the center lines of the shafts at the operating temperature do not have any parallel or angular offset. This ensures that no additional forces affect their bearings during operation. If the thermal change of the motor and the driven machine is different, couple in the cold state with an appropriate alignment offset. The alignment offset to be set in the cold state must be determined and specified by the system specialist.
3. For the vertical positioning (x→0), place thin shims over a large surface area under the machine feet. The number of shims should be kept as low as possible, i.e. stack as few as possible. This also prevents the machine being subjected to any stress/distortion. Use the existing tapped holes for the forcing-off bolts to raise the machine. The balance state of the shaft (full-key or half-key balancing) and alignment errors primarily influence the service life of the bearing, especially for high motor speeds or when using rigid couplings.

6.5.3 Laying cables

● Lay the cables in accordance with IEC/EN 60364-5-52.
● Use EMC cable glands for fixed cables. Screw the EMC cable glands into the threaded holes in the entry plate, which can be unscrewed.
● Use shielded cables whose shields are conductively connected to a large area of the terminal box of the motor via EMC cable glands.
● In the case of aluminum connecting bars, insert a steel washer between the cable lug and the connecting bar. This prevents contact corrosion.
● Arrange the exposed connecting cables in the terminal box so that the PE conductor has excess length and the insulation of the cable strands cannot be damaged.
● Close and seal unused bushings and glands using a metal screw plug. This is the way to achieve a high frequency-proof shielding.

6.5.4 Connecting cables with cable lugs

1. Select the cable lugs according to the required cable cross-section and fixing screw or stud size. Information about the maximum cross-section for the respective standard terminal box design can be found in the catalog. A sloped/angular arrangement of the supply cables is only permitted provided the required minimum air clearances are met.
2. Remove the insulation from the conductor ends so that the remaining insulation reaches almost up to the cable lug . Connect only one conductor per cable lug.
SIMOTICS FD 1LN1

6.5.5 Connecting cables without cable lugs

Lug terminal connections - which are suitable for connecting flexible and stranded conductors without the use of wire end ferrules - may be installed if ordered accordingly. If you wish to use conductor end sleeves, then correctly crimp these onto the end of the conductor before connecting up.
NOTICE
Overheating of the conductor ends
If the end of the conductor is not correctly enclosed by the wire end ferrule, but is trapped by it, this can lead to overheating.
● Insert only one conductor end into each wire end ferrule, and attach the wire end ferrule correctly.
● Insert only one conductor end into each terminal.

6.5.6 Use of aluminum conductors

If you are using aluminum conductors, then comply with the following:
● Use only cable lugs that are suitable for connecting aluminum conductors.
● Immediately before inserting the aluminum conductor, remove the oxide layer from the
contact areas on the conductor and/or the mating piece. Do this using a brush or file.
● Then grease the contact areas immediately using neutral Vaseline. This prevents a new
oxide layer from forming.
NOTICE
Aluminum flow due to contact pressure
Aluminum flows following installation due to the contact pressure. The connection using clamping nuts can loosen as a result. The contact resistance increases, obstructing the current from being conducted. This can result in fire and material damage to the machine – or even in total failure, as well as material damage to the plant or system due to machine failure.
● Retighten the clamping nuts after approximately 24 hours and then again after approximately four weeks. Make sure that the terminals are de-energized before you tighten the nuts.
Electrical connection
6.5 Inserting and routing the cables
For 1XB7.. terminal boxes with aluminum connection bars, you can also connect copper cables using copper cable lugs.

6.5.7 Using single-stranded cables

NOTICE
High temperatures from induced eddy currents
With high currents and where several single-stranded cables are used instead of multiple­stranded cables, high temperatures can result in the cable entry area due to induced eddy currents. This can result in material damage or even a machine failure.
● After commissioning, ensure that the temperature limits of the connected power cables are not exceeded during operation. This temperature effect can be reduced by altering the conditions at the entry points or by using modified cable entry plates after consultation with the manufacturing plant.
● Use a cable entry plate made of non-ferrous metal.

6.5.8 Internal equipotential bonding

Between the ground terminal in the terminal box enclosure and the machine enclosure, the fixing screws of the terminal box serve as PE conductor connection.
SIMOTICS FD 1LN1 Operating Instructions 01/2019 93
Electrical connection
6.5 Inserting and routing the cables
Between terminal box cover and terminal box enclosure, the cover fixing screws serve as equipotential bonding.
A special external ground conductor is only installed if, for example, flat seals are mounted without additional support.
When performing any installation work, you must always take care to ensure that all equipotential bonding measures remain effective.

6.5.9 Stepless mating face for the seal in the terminal box cover

The sealing face of the terminal box cover is formed by the terminal box enclosure and the cable entry element. Therefore make sure these parts are correctly aligned, so as to ensure the seal and hence the degree of protection.
Align the cable entry support and the cable entry plate to the terminal box enclosure so that the sealing surface between the terminal box and the terminal box cover form a flat face. There must be no steps in the sealing area.

6.5.10 Minimum air clearances

After proper installation, verify that the minimum air clearances between non-insulated parts are maintained. Be aware of any protruding wire ends.
Table 6-4 Minimum air clearance dependent on rms value of the alternating voltage U
Rms value of the alternating voltage V
≤ 500 V 8 mm ≤ 630 V 10 mm
≤ 800 V 12 mm ≤ 1000 V 14 mm ≤ 1250 V 18 mm
Values apply at an installation altitude of up to 2000 m. When determining the required minimum air clearance, the voltage value in the table may be increased
by a factor of 1.1, so that the rated input voltage range is taken into account during general use.

6.6.1 Selecting cables

Take the following criteria into account when selecting the connecting cables for the auxiliary circuits:
● Rated current
● Rated voltage
● System-dependent conditions, such as ambient temperature, routing type, cable cross­section as defined by required length of cable, etc.
● Requirements according to IEC/EN 60204‑1

6.6 Connecting the auxiliary circuits

6.6.2 Bringing cables into the auxiliary terminal box and routing them

The required data for connecting the auxiliary circuits is located on the terminal diagram on the inside of the respective auxiliary terminal or terminal box cover.
● In some cases a terminal strip is installed in the main terminal box for the auxiliary circuit connections.
● The required stripped length on conductors for auxiliary terminals differs according to terminal type (6 to 9 mm). When the length is correct, the conductor should reach the stop in the terminal and at the same time the conductor insulation should reach the contact part of the terminal.
Adapting the cable glands
A plate is bolted to the terminal box enclosure via a rectangular cutout through which the connecting cables enter. The plate is generally delivered with threaded holes and cable glands.
1. Open the auxiliary terminal box and undo the cable entry plate screws. Depending on the terminal box version, the cable entry plate is below a steel screening plate.
2. For the undrilled version, drill the required number of holes or threads in the required size of the cable gland into the cable entry plate.
3. Mark the cables if necessary for subsequent assignment.
4. Pull the cables through the cable glands and the cable entry plate, and connect the cables.
5. Fit the cable entry plate.
6. Make sure that the seal on the screwed sockets for the cable glands satisfies the degree of protection.

6.6.3 Connecting an external fan motor

1. When working on the external fan, carefully comply with the instructions provided in the operating instructions for the external fan motor.
2. Connect the external fan motor in accordance with the terminal diagram provided in the external fan terminal box. When doing this, carefully observe the data stamped on the rating plate.
3. Check:
– The line voltage and line frequency match the details on the rating plate;
– the cross-sections of the designated connecting cables are matched to the rated current
of the motor (with due consideration for the relevant installation directives).
4. Connect the protective conductor to the protective conductor terminal.
5. Establish the other electrical connections as per the circuit diagram.
6. If the separate fan is supplied with a connector already attached, check whether the pin allocation of the connector matches the pin allocation of the socket.
7. Complete the work at the external fan terminal box, see "Completing connection work in the auxiliary terminal box" (Page 98).

6.6 Connecting the auxiliary circuits
Check direction of rotation
The direction of rotation of the external fan is indicated with an arrow on the fan cover specifying the direction of rotation or with a terminal designation on the rating plate of the external fan unit.
● Check the direction of rotation. Depending on the version, the fan impeller is visible through
the air intake opening in the fan cover on the external fan motor. The direction of rotation of the external fan must match what is specified.
● If the direction of rotation is incorrect, then interchange two line cables in the external fan
motor terminal box.

6.6.4 Connecting temperature monitoring for the stator winding

The stator winding is monitored for thermal loading by temperature sensors embedded in the stator winding.
The connecting cables of the temperature sensors are routed to the main or auxiliary terminal box, depending on the version. The connection and assignment of the terminals is specified in the circuit diagram.
Electrical connection
WARNING
Hazard due to electric shock
The installation of the temperature sensors for the winding monitoring with respect to the winding is implemented according to the requirements for basic insulation. The temperature sensor connections are located in terminal boxes, safe to touch, and have no protective separation. This is the reason that in the case of a fault, a hazardous voltage can be present at the measuring sensor cable. When touched, this can result in death, severe bodily injury and material damage.
● When connecting the temperature sensor to external temperature monitoring devices, when required, apply additional measures to fully comply with the requirements set out in IEC 60664-1 or IEC 61800-5-1 "Hazard due to electric shock”.

6.6.5 Terminating the connection work (auxiliary circuit)

1. Before closing the auxiliary terminal box, please check that:
– The cables are connected in accordance with the terminal diagram.
– The cables are freely arranged so that they cannot come into contact with the machine,
and the cable insulation cannot be damaged.
– The inside of the terminal box is clean and free of any cable debris, dirt and foreign
bodies.
– The cable glands are firmly tightened, are suitable with respect to the degree of
protection, type of cable routing, permissible cable diameter, etc., and have been mounted in full compliance with specifications and regulations
– The threads in the connection plate are sealed using cable and conductor entries, thread
adapters or sealing plugs that achieve the respective degree of protection.
– Unused cable entries are sealed. The sealing elements are firmly screwed in, and can
only be released using a tool.
– All of the seals/gaskets and sealing surfaces of the terminal box are in good condition
– The screws of all of the screw clamps are fully tightened, even if they are not being used.
2. Close the auxiliary terminal box using the cover supplied for this purpose. See section "Tightening torques for screw and bolt connections (Page 173)" for the tightening torque of the fixing bolts for the cover.
