2. ACCEPTING, INSPECTION, STORAGE, TRANSPORTATION
2.1 Inspection Upon Receipt
Check the following upon receipt:
● Is there any visible damage to the motor or case? Any damage should be photographed,
documented and reported to the carrier and TECO-Westinghouse immediately.
● Are the nameplate ratings identical with your confirmed order?
● Are dimensions and color in compliance with your specifications?
● Are the nameplate ratings for heater, thermal protector, temperature detector, etc. identical with
your confirmed order?
● Are all accessories and accompanying instruction manuals in good order?
● Does the arrow head indicate the correct direction of rotation?
● If there are any specific requirements, please ensure they are in conformity with your
specification.
● Motor stator housing may be outfitted with condensation drain holes that are either open holes,
drain holes with plugs or drain holes with breather drains. For horizontally mounted motors
position the drain holes at the lowest point possible to allow for the egress of condensation. For
vertical shaft installations the lower end bracket must be outfitted with drains at the lowest point
possible. Prior to installation remove drain plugs if fitted.
2.2 Storage
2.2.1 General
When motors are not in operation, the following precautionary measures must be taken to insure the
motors do not suffer deterioration or damage from moisture, dust and dirt, or careless handling. The
climate, length of time the equipment is to be stored, and the adequacy of the storage facilities will
determine the storage precautions required.
Any deterioration or damage of the motors due to customer's incorrect storage of the motors is not
covered by the warranty. This includes all periods of time when the motor is installed on site but has
not been placed into operation.
The following procedures must be followed and a maintenance log must be kept to keep from
voiding factory warranty. The records are also useful to decide if a motor is suitable or not to be put
into service.
2.2.2 Location
The ideal storage area is a clean, heated, and well-ventilated building.
(a) High and dry, well-ventilated indoor, without exposure to direct sun lights, free from dust,
corrosive gas (such as chlorine, sulfur, dioxide, and nitrous oxides) and fumes, and infestation
by vermin or insects.
(b) The ideal storage temperature range is from 10 ℃to 50℃ (50 to 12℉5℉), and relative
humidity is
≦60%.
(c) Not close to a boiler or freezer.
(d) Precautions should be taken to prevent rodents, snakes, birds or other small animals from
nesting inside the motors. In area where they are prevalent, precautions must be taken to
prevent insects, such as dauber wasps, from gaining access to the interior of motors.
6
(e) Entirely free from vibration. Vibration levels above 3.8 mm/s (0.15 in/sec) velocity could
damage the bearings and cause “false brinelling” of the bearing races.
(f) Motors should be put on pallets to prevent moisture from accumulating underneath.
(g) Motors should be stored in a heated building, outdoor storage is not suitable for motors.
(h) If motors have to be stored outdoors for some reasons, they should be well covered with a
tarpaulin and protected from contamination and moisture. The cover should extend to the
ground however it should not tightly wrap the motor. This will allow the captive air space to
breath, minimizing formation of condensation. Motors should be well shielded from dust, but
under well-ventilated conditions. Outdoor storage should be for a very short period of time
(less than one month) only and the risk of deterioration is the responsibility of the users.
2.2.3 Motor Position
Motors must be stored in vertical position. Where motors are mounted to machinery, the mounting
must be such that drains and breathers are fully operable and are at the lowest point of the motor.
2.2.4 Moisture Prevention
Since moisture can be very detrimental to electrical components, the motor temperature should be
maintained about 5℃ above the dew point temperature by providing either external or internal heat.
If the motor is equipped with space heaters, they should be energized at the voltage shown by the
space heater nameplate attached to the motor. Check weekly that the space heaters are operating.
Incandescent light bulbs can be placed within the motor to provide heat, if the anti-condensation
space heaters are not fitted. However, if used, incandescent bulbs must not be allowed to come in
contact with any parts of the motor because of the concentrated hot spot that could result.
2.2.5 Prevent Corrosion and Frost Damage
When motors are shipped from the factory, external machined surfaces, including the shaft
extension and bearing journals on sleeve bearing motors, are covered with a protective coating. This
coating should be examined periodically to make sure that it has not been accidently removed. If
necessary, re-coat the surfaces with a rust inhibiting material, such as Rust Veto No.342 or an
equivalent. Care should be taken to keep parts such as fitted surface, key, shaft extension, mounting
feet or face, and axial central hole from any collision with foreign matters, and to have rust
preventative in place. It is a good practice to seal any shaft openings with silicone, rubber caulking,
or tape. If any rust is observed, measures should be taken to remove the rust and protect against it.
Grease or anti-corrosion agent should also be generously applied to prevent rusting.
ATTENTION!!!!
Immediately remove any shrink wrap that may have been used during shipping. Never
wrap any motor in plastic for storage. This can turn the motor into a moisture trap
causing severe damage.
For water-cooled motors or motors using bearings with water-cooling coils, please make sure the
water is dried off of the coils to prevent tube corrosion or frost damage.
TECO-Westinghouse reserves the right to void warranties based upon evidence of rust or other
indications of moisture inside the motor that indicate that the motor was improperly stored.
Addendum A

2.2.6 Insulation Resistance Test
Even during storage, the insulation resistance should be kept above the specified values.
(a) For measurement of insulation resistance and acceptable standard values, please refer to
measures stated in 4.1.2 "Measurement of insulation resistance".
(b) Insulation resistance test should be performed once every three months.
(c) Resistance measurement of each temperature detector (ex. PT 10
0Ω/℃)
is necessary once every
three months.
2.2.7 Long Period of Idle (storage)
If the motor is not in operation for a long period of time (one week and above) after installation or
has been in operation but stopped for a period of time, the following precautions must be taken.
(a) Protect the motor as stated in 2.2.4 and 2.2.5.
(b) Insulation resistance test should be performed as stated in 2.2.6.
(c) Bearing Protection per 2.2.8.
(d) Operation test should be performed once every three (3) months.
(e) If external vibration is present, the shaft coupling should be opened.
(f) If motors are equipped with drain plugs, they should be removed.
(g) When motors equipped with brushes, the brushes should be lifted in the brush holder, if there is
no protective strip (such as MYLAR) between the brushes and collector rings.
(h) For water-cooled motors or motors using bearings with water-cooled coils, ensure the water is
dried off the coils to prevent tube corrosion or frost damage.
(i) Storage maintenance must be documented for warranty and reference purposes.
2.2.8 Bearing Protection
(a) If the motor has been provided with a shaft shipping brace to prevent shaft movement during
transit, it must be removed before operating the motor.
It is very important that this brace be reinstalled exactly as it was originally, before the motor is
moved from storage or any time when the motor is being transported. This prevents axial rotor
movement that might damage the bearings.

(b) Motors equipped with oil lubricated bearings are shipped from the factory with the bearing oil
reservoirs drained. In storage, the oil reservoirs should be properly filled to the center of the oil
level gauge with a good grade of rust inhibiting oil. To keep the bearing well oiled and prevent
rusting, the motor shaft should be rotated several revolutions every month ensuring the shaft
does not come to rest in its original position. If the motor is not in operation for over six months,
dismount the upper cover of the bearing housing and check the anti-corrosion protection.
Fig. 4 Upper and lower bearing
Motor must not be moved with oil in reservoir. Drain oil before moving to prev
location.
Addendum A
9
(c) Motors with anti-friction bearings are properly lubricated with the correct grade of grease at the
factory and no further greasing is required in storage. If the motor is not in operation for over
three months, add grease to each bearing per lubrication nameplate. The shaft should be rotated
at least 15-20 revolutions every month to maintain proper distribution of the grease within the
bearings.
(d) If the storage is over two years, it is recommended that the bearing assembly be dismantled and
that the bearing parts are inspected before commissioning. Any corrosion has to be removed with
fine emery cloth.
2.2.9 Removal From Storage
After long period of idle or storage, and, prior to energizing the motor, a thorough inspection and
megger test of windings is required. The bearings should be inspected for corrosion, false brinelling
and deformation.
If any of the following conditions exist, then re-conditioning may be required before putting a
motor into service.
(a) Winding resistance is less than recommended.
(b) Evidence of rust or other indications of moisture inside the motor.
(c) Corrosion or false brinelling or deformation occurred in bearings.
(d) Idle or storage longer than the warranty period.
(e) Idle or storage in dirty or damp surroundings.
(f) Storage in unheated area where the temperature and humidity fluctuate.
(g) Idle or storage where it has been subject to vibration, such as from nearby machinery or passing
traffic.
(h) Outdoor storage.
(i) No maintenance records showing that the storage procedures have been followed.
Any reconditioning required, as noted by the inspections after removal from storage, should be
performed prior to putting the motor into service. Such inspection and testing or re-conditioning are
available from local TECO-Westinghouse service/facilities. Reconditioning after idle or storage is
not covered by factory warranty. Any parts that must be replaced due to damage or deterioration
will be at customer’s cost.
2.3 Transportation
ATTENTION!!!!
To keep the rotating parts of motors from moving, thus preventing damage and scratching
during transportation, they should be held securely with a locking device. Ensure all locking
devices are removed before operating the motor. This device must be reinstalled, exactly as it
was originally, before the motor is moved from storage or any time when the motor is being
transported.
Vertical mount type motors should be transported in a safe stable and vertical position only.
10
Do not use the hoisting hook/eyebolts to lift more than the motor itself. They are
designed to support the motor only.
Make sure the hoisting hook is correctly attached to the eyebolt(s) or lug(s) of the
motor and that the eyebolt(s)/lug(s) are fully threaded in before hoisting. Also note
such parts as fan cover, ventilation box, bracket, slip-ring covers, etc. may have their
own hoisting lugs which can only carry their own weight. Nothing extra should be
attached while hoisting.
Do not twist or cross the steel cables. Make sure the eyebolts have been securely
threaded with the shoulder flush and the sling angle is correct.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Site and Environment for Motor Installation
3.1.1 General
Standard environment and site conditions for the installation of motors are usually set as follows:
(a) Ambient temperature: -20 ~ +40 ℃
(b) Humidity: Relative humidity shall be below 95%RH for totally-enclosed types, and below
80%RH for semi-enclosed types.
(c) Elevation: Below 1000 meters.
(d) Harmful gases, liquids, dusts and high moisture levels should be absent.
(e) Foundations should be strong and free of vibration.
For water-cooled motors or motors using bearings with water-cooling coils, the ambient

is required, or there are any special environmental conditions, please inform us at time of order.
3.1.2 Ventilation and Space
(a) Installation area should be well-ventilated.
(b) The installation space should be large enough to facilitate heat dissipation and maintenance.
3.2 Foundation
Motor manufacturer is not responsible for the foundation design. Motor weight, thrust load, twisting
moments, seismic forces and other external applied loads must be considered in foundation design
by others.
3.2.1 Reactions of Vertical Motor
For a vertical motor with N pcs hold down bolts, the reactions necessary for foundation design are
as follows – kgs per bolt at centerline of hold down bolt holes:

3.2.2 The foundation of vertical induction motor (Also the foundation of pump)
(a) Foundation of motor/pump must be rigid and secure to provide adequate support. There must be
no vibration, twisting, misalignment etc. due to inadequate foundations.
(b) A massive concrete foundation is preferred in order to minimize vibration. Rigidity and stability
are enhanced by prop plate and foundation bolt. As shown in Fig.7 and Fig.8.

3.2.3 Installation of vertical motor
(a) All mounting surfaces must be clean and level.
(b) Foundation must be leveled at least at 4 points and guaranteed to be below 0.04mm flat and
level.
(c) Make sure the mortar and concrete are completely dry, and the precision of the level is
acceptable, then set the motor on the mounting foundation.
(d) Accurately install shaft couplings.

3.3 Installation of Shaft Coupling
3.3.1 General
ATTENTION!!!!
Motors must always be accurately aligned, and this applies especially where they are
directly coupled.
Incorrect alignment can lead to bearing failure, vibration and even shaft fracture. As soon
as bearing failure or vibration is detected, the alignment should be checked.
3.3.2 Mounting procedure
Field installation of a coupling to the motor shaft should follow the procedures recommended by the
coupling manufacturer. The motor shaft extension must not be subjected to either extreme heat or
cold during coupling installation.
3.3.3 Alignment
The motor shaft and the driven shaft should be aligned within the following tolerances in both
angular and parallel alignment:

Unit:mm
Angular misalignment is the amount by which the centerlines of driver and driven shaft are
skewed. It can be measured using a dial indicator set up as shown in Fig.9. The couplings are
rotated together through 360 degrees so that the indicator does not measure run out of the coupling
hub face. The shafts should be forced against either the in or out extreme of their end float while
being rotated.
Parallel misalignment is the amount by which the centerlines of the driver and driven shafts are
out of parallel. It can be measured using a dial indicator set up as shown in Fig.10. Again, the
couplings are rotated together through 360 degrees so that the indicator does not measure runout of
the coupling hub outside diameter.

ATTENTION!!!!
Measurements should be made only after shimming and with hold-down bolts properly
tightened.
3.3.4 Dowel for Motor
After the motor has been properly aligned with the driven equipment and the hold-down bolts have
been installed and tightened, for motors with fabricated frame, at least two dowel pins should be
installed in two diagonally opposite motor feet.
3.3.5 Installation of Shaft Coupling (Vertical Hollow Shaft Motor Only)
Bolted coupling as Fig.11
(a) Bearings are provided to absorb some upward shaft thrust when the coupling is fitted.
(b) The coupling is fastened with bolts.

(c) This coupling type is not auto-release type.
Note:Standard high thrust motors can absorb momentary up thrust load up to 30% of the standard
down thrust load. If the up thrust is long duration (over 10 seconds) and/or exceeds 30% of
the standard high thrust rating, special design arrangements are required and a standard
motor is not suitable.

3.3.6 Non-Reverse Ratchet/Coupling, as Fig. 11 (If fitted)
The non-reverse coupling is also a bolted type and,
(a) It prevents the pump and motor from rotating in the reverse direction.
(b) It also prevents damage from over speeding and damage to pump shaft and bearings.
(c) The ratchet pins or balls are lifted by the ratchet teeth and are held clear by centrifugal force and
friction as the motor comes up to speed.
(d) When power is removed, speed decreases, and the pins or balls fall. At the instant of reversal, a
pin or ball will catch in a ratchet tooth and prevent backward rotation.
(e) When installing the non-reverse coupling, do not use lubricant. Lubrication will interfere with
proper operation. The top half of the coupling should seat solidly on the lower half and the pins
or balls should touch the bottom of the pockets between the teeth in the plate.
(f) As with the bolted coupling, the up thrust capabilities are 30% of the standard high thrust rating
for down thrust.
ATTENTION!!!!
Do not apply non-reverse ratchets on applications in which the pump reversal time from
shutdown (the instant the stop button is pressed) to zero speed is less than one second.
3.3.7 Manual Rotation of Large Vertical Rotor with Sleeve Bearing During Alignment
(a) If there is a thread in the non-drive end shaft center, the breakaway torque can be overcome by
the use of torque wrench provided there is no ratchet. Remove the top cover, insert a bolt in the
threaded shaft center and use a torque wrench to apply the rotating force. The breakaway torque
value will determine the size of torque wrench required.
Addendum A
Coupling
Coupling

Torque [kg-mm] = Rotor Wt [kg] * Thrust Pad Center Radius [mm] * 0.4
0.4 = coefficient of friction for dry lubrication
(b) An alternate is to use a long bar bolted to the coupling to apply the torque.
(c) If the rotor can be lifted either from above using a crane attached to the top of the rotor or from
below using a jack, then the rotor weight is reduced and the torque needed to breakaway is much
less. This does not always work, as sometimes the pads adhere to the thrust collar face due to
cohesion.
There is no danger of Babbitt damage due to breakaway because it only takes a small revolution of
the rotor to lubricate all shoe surfaces.
3.3.8 Removal of Redundant Shaft Key
When the length of coupling hub is different from the length of shaft key, the motor may have a
high vibration level due to this unbalance condition. The removal of redundant shaft key is
necessary, shown as Fig.12.
15
Method (1):
After installing the coupling, use a
grinding wheel to remove the redundant
key (hatch area).
Method (2):
Before installing the coupling, calculate
the different length between coupling hub
and shaft key, then cut the half of this
different value (hatch area) to achieve
approximate-balance condition.

3.4 Electrical Connections
All interconnecting wiring for controls and grounding should be in strict accordance with local
requirements such as the USA National Electrical Code and UK IEE wiring regulations.
Wiring of motor and control, overload protection and grounding should follow the instructions of
connection diagrams where provided.

The bolted joints between the motor lead and the power cables must be made and
ing
3.4.1 Power
The rated conditions of operation for the motor are as shown on the nameplate. Within the limits,
given below, of voltage and frequency variation from the nameplate values, the motor will continue
to operate but with performance characteristics that may differ from those at the rated conditions:
+/- 10% of rated voltage
+/- 5% of rated frequency
+/- 10% combined voltage and frequency variation so long as frequency variation is no
more than +/- 5% of rated
ATTENTION!!!!
Operating the motor at voltages and frequencies outside of the above limits can result in
both unsatisfactory motor performance and damage to or failure of the motor.
3.4.2 Main Lead Box
The main lead box furnished with the motor has been sized to provide adequate space for the
make-up of the connections between the motor lead cables and the incoming power cables.
insulated in accordance with the best industry practices.
3.4.3 Grounding
Both fabricated steel motors and fan cooled cast frame motors are provided with grounding pads or
bolts.
The motor must be grounded by a proper connection to the electrical ground
system.
3.4.4 Rotation Direction
The rotation direction of the motor will be as shown by a nameplate on the motor, specification
table or the outline drawing. The required phase rotation of the incoming power for this motor
rotation may also be stated. If either is unknown, the correct sequence can be determined by the
following method.
Make sure the motor is uncoupled and the non-reverse ratchet (if installed) has been disabled
according to 5.6.3., start the motor and observe the direction of rotation. Allow the motor to achieve
full speed before disconnecting it from the power source. Refer to the operation section of this
manual for information concerning initial start-up. If resulting rotation is incorrect, it can be
reversed by interchanging any two (2) incoming cables.
3.4.5 Auxiliary Devices
Auxiliary devices such as resistance temperature detectors, thermocouples, thermoguards, etc., will
generally terminate on terminal blocks located in the auxiliary terminal box on the motor. Other
devices may terminate in their own enclosures elsewhere on the motor. Such information can be
obtained by referring to the outline drawing. Information regarding terminal designation and the
Addendum A
During and immediately after measuring, the terminals must not be touched as they
nected and there are no moving
connection of auxiliary devices can be obtained from auxiliary drawings or attached nameplates.
If the motor is provided with internal space heaters, the incoming voltage supplied to them must be
exactly as shown by either a nameplate on the motor or the outline drawing for proper heater
operation.
ATTENTION!!!!
Caution must be exercised anytime contact is made with the incoming space heater circuit
as space heater voltage is often automatically applied when the motor is shutdown.
