of the machine is not diminished.
2.8 Interference voltages when operating the converter
Interference voltages when operating the converter
When a converter is in operation, the emitted interference varies in strength depending on the
converter (manufacturer, type, interference suppression measures undertaken). On machines
with integrated sensors (e.g. PTC thermistors), interference voltages caused by the converter
may occur on the sensor lead. This can cause faults which can result in eventual or immediate
death, serious injury or material damage.
● Comply with the EMC information provided by the manufacturer of the converter. This is how
you prevent the limit values stipulated by IEC/EN 61000-6-3 for the drive system (consisting
of the machine and converter) from being exceeded.
● You must put appropriate EMC measures in place.
2.9 Electromagnetic fields when operating electrical power engineering
installations
Electrical power equipment generate electromagnetic fields during operation. Potentially lethal
malfunctions can occur in medical implants, e.g. pacemakers, in the vicinity of electrical power
equipment. Data may be lost on magnetic or electronic data carriers.
● Protect the personnel working in the plant by taking appropriate measures, such as erecting
identifying markings, safety barriers and warning signs and giving safety talks.

Horizontal type of construction,
coupling output
● 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
Horizontal type of construction,
for increased transverse forces
e.g. in the case of belt coupling
● Drive end: Cylindrical-roller bearing as a floating bearing
● Non-drive end: Deep-groove ball bearing as a fixed bearing
Vertical type of construction,
shaft height 315, coupling output
● 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
Vertical type of construction,
shaft height 355 ... 450
● 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
Description
SIMOTICS FD 1MN1
Operating Instructions 02/2019 27
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.
During operation, the sealing grease in the chamber slowly runs out via the labyrinth and seals
it, additionally removing dust from inside and around the outside of the labyrinth ring.
Terminal box
Depending on the machine design, the following terminal boxes are generally used for
connecting the cables:
Terminal box Comment Application
GT640 Only for machines on the

Biocides
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.

4.22.4 Reducing bearing currents
Taking the following actions will reduce the bearing currents:
● Ensure that the contacts are established over a large area. Solid copper cables are not
suitable for high frequency grounding because of the skin effect.
Equipotential bonding conductors:
Use equipotential bonding conductors:
● Between motor and driven machine
● Between motor and converter
● Between the terminal box and the RF grounding point at the motor enclosure.
Selecting and connecting the cable:
As far as possible, use symmetrically arranged, shielded connection cables. The cable
shielding, made up of as many strands as possible, must have good electrical conductivity.
Braided shields made of copper or aluminum are very suitable.
● The shield is connected at both ends, at the motor and converter.
● To ensure good discharging of high-frequency currents, provide contacting over a large
surface area:
– as contact established through 360° at the converter
– at the motor, for instance with EMC glands at the cable entries
● If the cable shield is connected as described, then it ensures the specified equipotential
bonding between the motor enclosure and converter. A separate RF equipotential bonding
conductor is then not necessary.

Overall system design
To specifically reduce bearing currents, you must consider the system as a whole, which
comprises the motor, converter, and driven machine. The following measures support you
when reducing bearing currents and help to avoid damage:
● In the overall system, set up a properly meshed grounding system with low impedance.
● Use the common-mode filter (damping cores) at the converter output. The Siemens sales
representative is responsible for selection and dimensioning.
● Limit the rise in voltage by using output filters. Output filters dampen the harmonic content
in the output voltage.

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?
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 59)
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.
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.
Assembly
5.2 Preparations for installation
SIMOTICS FD 1MN1
Operating Instructions 02/2019 59
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.
Limit values for the stator winding insulation resistance

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 =
R
insul 10 min /
R
insul 1 min
Many measuring devices display these values automatically following the measurement.
For insulation resistances > 5000 MΩ, the measurement of the PI is no longer meaningful and
consequently not included in the assessment.
R(10 min) / R(1 min) Assessment
≥ 2 Insulation in good condition
< 2 Dependent on the complete diagnosis of the insulation
NOTICE
Damage to insulation
If the critical insulation resistance is reached or undershot, this can damage the insulation and
cause voltage flashovers.
● Contact the service center (Page 181).
● If the measured value is close to the critical value, you must subsequently check the
insulation resistance at shorter intervals.
Limit values of the anti-condensation heating insulation resistance
The insulation resistance of the anti-condensation heating with respect to the machine housing
should not be lower than 1 MΩ when measured at 500 V DC.

– 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.
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.

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.

To drain the condensation water, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the screw plugs to allow the condensation water to drain.
2. Then reinsert the screw plugs.
NOTICE
The degree of protection is reduced
Nominally the degree of protection of the machine is reduced to IP44 when the screw plug is
removed.
5.3.10 Roughly aligning the machine

5.4 Installing the machine
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.

5.4.3 Aligning the machine to the driven machine and attaching it to it (IM B5)
The standard flange is provided with a centering. The choice of fit for the mating flange on the
driven machine is the system manufacturer's or the plant operator's responsibility.
Note
If the machine is not fitted with a standard flange, align the machine to suit the driven
machine.
Procedure
The machine axis must be horizontal when it is lifted and the flange must be parallel to the
mating flange, so as to avoid seizing and stressing. Otherwise damage to the centering will
result.
1. Grease the centering flange with assembly paste to make the process easier.
2. Screw three studs into tapped holes spaced about 120° apart around the driven machine
flange. The studs act as positioning aids.
3. Position the machine so that its axis is aligned with that of the driven machine, but not yet
quite touching. Advance the machine slowly towards the driven machine; advancing too
quickly risks damaging the centering.
4. If necessary, rotate the machine into the right position so that the clearance holes in the
flange are central to the tapped holes.
5. Move the machine fully up against the mating flange so that it is fully in contact.
6. Fix the machine using the flange fixing bolts, finishing by replacing the studs.

1. Select piping materials with the required chemical resistance in accordance with the water
composition. Also consider the pressure load and compatibility with the materials from
which the cooler is made.
2. Use flexible water lines and hoses. This avoids mechanical stress at the connections as a
result of the heat-dependent height increase of the machine (thermal expansion).
3. Route and support the water pipes so that the connecting flanges are not exposed to
excessive stress or strain or vibration loads. If possible, arrange the pipes so that the cooler
can be removed when the machine has been fully assembled. The amount of space
required to do this is shown in the dimension drawing.
4. Remove the flange cover plate.
5. Correctly insert the seals.
6. Before connecting the pipes, flush them in order to remove any deposits and foreign bodies.
7. Install suitable filters in the cooling water intake pipe if the cooling water might contain dirt
and foreign bodies.
8. Connect the cooling water pipes to the flanges.
Filling and venting the cooler
1. After making the flange connections, open the vent plug and fill the cooler with water until
all the air inside the cooler is expelled.
NOTICE

defined as follows:
● If you connect the line cables with phase sequence L1, L2, L3 to U, V, W or according to
NEMA at T1 T2 T3, then a clockwise phase sequence is obtained.
● If you interchange two connections, e.g. L1, L2, L3 at V, U, W or according to NEMA at
T2 T1 T3, then a counterclockwise phase sequence is obtained.
● On machines which are only allowed to run in one direction, the rating plate shows an arrow
which indicates the permitted direction of rotation, and it also specifies the terminal
connections in the required phase sequence.
Check the appropriate data before connecting the line feeder cables.

use wire end ferrules, then before connecting the cable, attach these so as to form an
appropriate, current-carrying crimped joint at the end of the conductor.
WARNING
Danger of explosion if the conductor ends become too hot
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. The temperature class of the machine can be exceeded. This
can trigger ignition of an explosive mixture. This can result in death, serious injury or material
damage.
● Insert only one conductor end into each wire end ferrule. Attach the wire end ferrule
correctly.
● Insert only one conductor end into each terminal.
6.5.7 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.

6.5.8 Using single-stranded cables
WARNING
High temperatures from induced eddy currents
With high currents and where several single-stranded cables are used instead of multiple-
stranded cables, high temperatures can result in the cable entry area due to induced eddy
currents. A short-circuit and an explosion may occur. This can result in death, serious injury,
or material damage.
● 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.
6.5.9 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.
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.
6.5.10 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.

7.9 Test run
After installation or inspection, carry out a test run:
1. Start up the machine without a load. To do this, close the circuit breaker and do not switch
off prematurely. Check whether it is running smoothly.
Switching the machine off again while it is starting up and still running at slow speed should
be kept to a bare minimum, for example for checking the direction of rotation or for checking
in general.
Allow the machine to run down before switching it on again.
2. If the machine is running smoothly and evenly, switch on the cooling equipment. Continue
to observe the machine for a while in no-load operation.

Operating Instructions 02/2019 109
3. If it runs perfectly, connect a load.
NOTICE
Thermal overload of motors connected directly to the line supply
In addition to the load torque, the ramp-up (accelerating) time is essentially influenced by
the moment of inertia to be accelerated. While ramping up when connected to the line
supply, the inrush (starting) current is a multiple of the rated current. This can result in
thermal overload. This can damage the motor.
As a consequence, when ramping up, observe the following:
● Monitor the ramp-up time and number of consecutive starts.
● Comply with the limit values and/or ramp-up conditions specified in the catalog or the
order documentation.
4. During the test run, check and document the following:
– Check whether it is running smoothly.
– Document the voltage, current and power values. As far as possible, document the
corresponding values of the driven machine.
– If this is possible using the available measuring equipment, check the bearing and stator
winding temperatures until they have reached steady-state values.
– Check the machine for noise or vibrations on the bearings or bearing shields as it runs.
5. In case of uneven running or abnormal noise, switch off the machine. As the machine runs
down, identify the cause.
– If the mechanical operation improves immediately after the machine is switched off, then
the cause is magnetic or electrical.
– If the mechanical running does not improve immediately after switching the machine off,
then the cause is mechanical.
- Imbalance of the electrical machine or the driven machine
- The machine set has not been adequately aligned
- The machine is being operated at the system resonance point. System = motor, base
frame, foundation, ...
NOTICE
Serious damage to the machine
If the vibration values in operation are not maintained in accordance with DIN ISO
10816-3, then the machine can be mechanically destroyed.
● During operation, observe the vibration values in accordance with DIN ISO 10816‑3.
Note
You can find more information in Chapter 2 of catalog D81.8.

7.10 Switching off
● If the controller does not do this automatically, switch on any anti-condensation heating
during stoppages. This will avoid the formation of condensation.
● Do not switch on the anti-condensation heating for at least two hours after the motor has
been switched off. This prevents damage to the winding insulation.
7.11 Setting the motor parameters at the converter
The selection of the motor type is used to pre-assign specific motor parameters and to optimize
the operating characteristics and behavior. If the incorrect motor type has been selected, then
this can result in undesirable operating states, for instance increased noise.
● If you use the SINAMICS G120/G150 or SINAMICS S120/S150 converter, you can set the
motor parameters using STARTER or the "Advanced Operating Panel" AOP30.
● If you use the SINAMICS G120P converter, you can set the motor parameters using the
"Intelligent Operator Panel" (IOP).
Note
Preset space-vector modulation for SINAMICS S converters
Unlike SINAMICS G converters, space-vector modulation is preset for SINAMICS S
converters. Provided permitted by the application, the space-vector modulation can be
changed manually to an optimized pulse pattern for SIMOTICS FD motors.
The SINAMICS parameter is p1802 = 19 in the STARTER and in the AOP30.

Safety information (Page 15)
Risk of injury due to rotating parts
Rotating parts are dangerous. Touch protection against rotating parts is no longer guaranteed
if covers are removed. Touching rotating parts can result in death, serious injury or material
damage.
● Carefully ensure that all of the covers are closed while operational.
● First switch off and disconnect the machine if you must remove covers. Comply with the
"Five safety rules":
● Only remove the covers when the rotating parts have come to a complete standstill.
Danger as a result of stationary parts under voltage (live parts)
Live parts represent a hazard. Touch protection against active (live) parts is no longer
guaranteed if covers are removed. The minimum air and creepage distances may be fallen
below (violated) when coming close to active parts. Touching or coming close can result in
death, serious injury or material damage.
● Carefully ensure that all of the covers are closed while operational.
● First switch off and disconnect the machine if you must remove covers. Comply with the
"Five safety rules":
● When the machine is in operation, the terminal boxes must remain closed at all times.
Terminal boxes may be opened only when the machine is stopped and in a no-voltage
condition.
SIMOTICS FD 1MN1
Operating Instructions 02/2019 119
Faults in operation
Any changes with respect to the normal condition can indicate that the machine is not
functioning correctly.
● Higher power consumption, temperatures or vibration levels.
● Unusual noise or smells.
● Monitoring devices respond.
These changes can cause faults which can result in eventual or immediate death, serious injury
or material damage.
● Immediately inform the service personnel.
● If you are in doubt, immediately switch off the machine, carefully observing the system-
specific safety conditions.
Damage caused by condensation
Humidity in the air can condense for intermittent duty or load fluctuations. Condensate can
collect. Moisture can have a negative impact on the winding insulation or result in damage, such
as corrosion.
● Ensure that any condensation can freely flow away.
Risk of burn injuries as a result of hot surfaces
Individual machine parts can become hot in operation. Burns can result when coming into
contact with these parts.
● Never touch machine parts during operation.
● Allow the machine to cool down before starting work.
● Check the temperature of parts before touching them. If required, wear suitable protective
equipment.
Excessively high machine temperature when heating is switched on
If the anti-condensation heating is operated while the machine is running, this can increase the
temperatures inside the machine. Material damage can result.
● Make sure that the anti-condensation heating is switched off before the machine is switched
on.
● Only operate anti-condensation heating when the machine is switched off.
Explosion hazard if the bridging is removed from the insulated bearing
Removing the factory-fitted bridging of the insulated bearing leads to potential differences
between the rotor and the grounded motor. This can cause the generation of sparks, which
Operation
8.1 Safety instructions for operation
SIMOTICS FD 1MN1
120 Operating Instructions 02/2019
especially in an explosive atmosphere can ignite surrounding dust or combustible gases.
Explosions can occur. There is also a risk of an electric shock. Death, serious injury, or material
damage will result.
● Do not open the bridging of the bearing insulation during operation.
8.2 Operation in hazardous areas of Zone 2
Safe handling
In addition to the danger notices in the previous section, the following also applies:
Electrical systems in hazardous zones must be mounted, installed, and operated in
accordance with the applicable rules and regulations. It is assumed that companies operating
these plants and systems take the appropriate measures to ensure that these regulations and
directives are observed during mounting, installation and operation, and that the appropriate
tests are carried out. We recommend that these tests be carried out and documented in
coordination with the responsible authorities.
System-specific ignition hazards
The criteria for the respective zonal classification are not harmonized and the assessment of
the operational risks, the local operating conditions and the various monitoring methods are not
standard. As a consequence, the remedial measures recommended by the supervisory
authorities may also differ depending on the authority's area of responsibility. The machine
manufacturer cannot provide general recommendations in this regard.
Note
Binding clarification of the local risks and of any required measures can only be provided by the
company operating the plant or system in agreement with the supervisory authority
responsible. The risk assessments from IEC / EN 60079-15 or -7 can be used to assess system-
specific ignition hazards.

8.3 Switching on the machine
1. If at all possible, run the machine without load and check that it is running smoothly.
2. If it runs perfectly, connect a load.
NOTICE
Thermal overload of motors connected directly to the line supply
In addition to the load torque, the ramp-up (accelerating) time is essentially influenced by
the moment of inertia to be accelerated. While ramping up when connected to the line
supply, the inrush (starting) current is a multiple of the rated current. This can result in
thermal overload. This can damage the motor.
As a consequence, when ramping up, observe the following:
● Monitor the ramp-up time and number of consecutive starts.
● Comply with the limit values and/or ramp-up conditions specified in the catalog or the
order documentation.
3. If this is possible using the available measuring equipment, check the bearing and stator
winding temperatures.
8.4 Regreasing roller bearings
Refer to the regreasing instructions for the roller bearings on the lubricant plate.
8.5 Stoppages
The stoppage is a shutdown for a period of time, during which the machine is stopped but
remains at the location of use.
Under normal ambient conditions, e. g. the stopped machine is not exposed to any vibration, no
increased level of corrosion, etc. in general, the following measures are necessary during
stoppages.
NOTICE
Damage due to improper storage
Damage may occur to the motor if it is not stored properly.
If the machine is to be taken out of operation for more than 12 months, suitable anti-corrosion,
preservation, packaging, and drying measures must be taken.

8.5.1 Avoidance of frost and corrosion damage in the cooling system
● For avoidance of frost and corrosion damage, completely drain the water from the cooling
system. Then blow air through the cooling system to dry it.
If the cooling system cannot be drained because standby capability is required at short
notice, protect the cooling circuit against frost and corrosion damage. To do this, add
suitable additives to the cooling water.
NOTICE
Impairment of the heat transport
Additives such as anti-freeze and corrosive inhibitor can impair the heat transport.
Operate the motor only with the contractually agreed water quality.
For avoidance of deposits, the cooling water circuit must then be kept running. So as to be
certain of excluding the possibility of formation of condensation within the machine, the anti-
condensation heating should also remain switched on (if fitted).
8.5.2 Avoidance of condensation or formation of condensation within the machine
● If the controller does not do this automatically, switch on any anti-condensation heating
during stoppages. This will avoid the formation of condensation.
● Do not switch on the anti-condensation heating for at least two hours after the motor has
been switched off. This prevents damage to the winding insulation.
WARNING
Explosion hazard
If the anti-condensation heating is switched on directly after the machine is switched off, the
temperature class or the maximum surface temperature of the machine can be exceeded.
In an explosive atmosphere, there is a risk of an explosion. This can result in death, serious
injury or material damage.
● Only switch on the anti-condensation heating after the motor has been switched off.
Carefully comply with the data on the anti-condensation heating plate.

8.5.3 Avoidance of damage to roller bearings during stoppages
Extended stoppages at the identical or almost identical resting position of the roller bearings
can lead to damage such as brinelling or corrosion, for example.
● During stoppages, regularly start the machine up for a brief period once a month. As a
minimum, rotate the rotor several times.
If you have uncoupled the machine from the driven machine and secured the rotor with a
rotor shipping brace, then remove this before turning the rotor over or starting the machine
up.
Make sure that the resting position of the roller bearings after the rotor has been turned over
is different from what it previously had been. Use the fitted key or the coupling halves as
reference markers.
● During re-commissioning, refer to the information in the "Commissioning" section.

8.5.4 Measurement of the insulation resistance after an extended stoppage
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?
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?

8.6 Decommissioning the machine
NOTICE
Damage as a result of an extended period out of service
If the machine is going to be out of service for longer than six months, then take the necessary
measures for preservation and storing. Otherwise damage to the machine will result.
Record the decommissioning steps. This log will be useful upon recommissioning.
8.7 Switch off the external fan
Do not immediately switch off the separately-driven (external) fan after switching off the
machine. First wait for the machine to cool down. This will prevent the accumulation of residual
heat.
8.8 Switching off the water-cooling system
● Switch off the water-cooling system after switching off the machine. Condensation can form
inside the machine if cooling water flows while the machine is at a standstill.
● Only switch off the water cooling system once the machine has cooled down. This will
prevent the accumulation of residual heat.
8.9 Re-commissioning the machine
When you re-commission the machine, proceed as follows:
● Study the record made when the machine was decommissioned, and reverse the measures
that were taken for conservation and storage.
● Perform the measures listed in the "Commissioning" section.

WARNING
Explosion hazard due to overheating of the rolling bearings
If the rolling bearings are not regularly regreased, local overheating may be possible, and, as
a consequence, an explosion in an explosive atmosphere. This can result in death, serious
injury, or material damage.
● Regrease the rolling bearings regularly according to the lubrication plate.
● Implement bearing temperature monitoring if not yet in existence.
9.1.9 Roller bearings with automatic regreasing system

● Replace the grease cartridge timely.
● Observe the operating instructions for the regreasing system when replacing the grease
cartridges.
See also
Interlock circuit for the automatic regreasing system (option) (Page 39)
● Only use the grease that is specified on the lubricant plate.
9.1.10 Regreasing intervals and types of grease for operating roller bearings
The specified grease data applies to the data specified on the rating plate and for high-quality
grease in accordance with the specifications in these operating instructions. Because these
greases exceed significantly the requirements according to DIN 51825 and ISO 6743‑9, they
permit the specified relubrication intervals.
Initial lubrication
The grease specified on the lubricant plate is selected according to the operating conditions
known at the time of ordering and should be used for initial lubrication.
Criteria for selecting rolling bearing greases
High quality ISO‑L‑X BDEA3 lubricating grease according to ISO 6743-9 and K3K‑20
lubricating grease according to DIN 51825 with lithium soap as a thickener and an upper
service temperature of at least +130° C / +266° F are permissible for standard applications
without special requirements.

● Regreasing intervals in operating hours
● Regreasing amount in grams
● Grease type
Grease replacement intervals
The grease replacement intervals in these operating instructions or the regreasing intervals
indicated on the plate apply to the following conditions:
● Normal load
● Operation at speeds in accordance with rating plate
● Low-vibration operation
Maintenance
9.1 Inspection and maintenance
SIMOTICS FD 1MN1
138 Operating Instructions 02/2019
● Neutral ambient air
● High-quality rolling bearing greases
In the case of unfavorable operating conditions, reduce the relubrication intervals after prior
consultation with the manufacturer.
Regreasing rolling bearings
Regrease the rolling bearings at the latest every 12 months irrespective of the actual number
of operating hours. The regreasing intervals for rolling bearings differ from the service intervals
for the machine. The rolling bearings may be damaged if the relubrication intervals are not
complied with. Pay attention to the instructions on the lubricant plate.
1. Clean the grease nipple.
2. Rotate the shaft when regreasing, so that the new grease can be distributed throughout the
bearing.
Motors that are operated with converters: Regrease the bearings at a low to medium speed
(nmin = 250 rpm, nmax = 3600 rpm) to ensure an even distribution of grease.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to rotating parts
The shaft must rotate to allow the grease to be distributed. This can result in death, serious
injury or material damage.
● When regreasing, pay attention to all rotating components.
3. Gradually press in an appropriate type and amount of grease, as stamped on the lubricant
plate and specified in these operating instructions - max. 50 g per 30 min.
The rolling bearing temperature rises sharply at first, then drops to the normal value again
when the excess grease is displaced out of the bearing.
The used grease collects outside each bearing in a spent grease chamber.
Greasing the rolling bearings prior to commissioning
When properly stored prior to commissioning for a longer period of time, normally the grease
in the bearings does not deteriorate within two years.
● When commissioning, the bearings must be relubricated with twice the amount of
lubricating grease. When doing this, the shaft must rotate so that the grease is replaced in
the bearings.
● Carefully observe the information relating to long-term storage.
Maintenance
9.1 Inspection and maintenance
SIMOTICS FD 1MN1
Operating Instructions 02/2019 139
9.1.11 Sealing the rolling-contact bearings ("Increased degree of protection" option)
Relubricating the grease tank
In order to achieve optimum sealing of the rolling contact bearings and to reliably seal the
labyrinth joints with grease, the chamber must be relubricated at regular intervals. The
procedure is the same as that for lubricating grease. The sealing effect during operation is
optimum as long as a small amount of relatively clean grease is forced out.
Regreasing intervals
The necessary relubrication intervals depend essentially on the level of dirt in the environment
and on the ON time of the motor. For this reason, they can only be defined taking into account
the respective operating conditions. Make sure that the groove in the seal is full of grease at all
times.
9.1.12 Cleaning the air-to-water heat exchanger
● Clean the air-to-water heat exchanger in accordance with the operating instructions of the
heat exchanger manufacturer. These instructions specify the conditions to be complied with
and describe the available cleaning methods.

B.1 Tightening torques for screw and bolt connections
Bolt locking devices
● Refit nuts or bolts that are mounted together with locking, resilient, and/or force-distributing
elements with identical, fully-functional elements when re-assembling. Always renew keyed
elements.
● When screwing together threads secured with a liquid adhesive, use a suitable medium
such as Loctite 243.
● Always use suitable securing devices or removable adhesives (e.g., Loctite 243) when
installing fixing bolts with a clamping length of less than 25 mm. The clamping length is taken
as the distance between the head of the bolt and the point at which the bolt is screwed in.
Tightening torques
The bolted connections with metal contact surfaces, such as end shields, bearing cartridge
parts, terminal box parts bolted onto the stator frame, should be tightened to the following
torques, depending on the thread size:
Table B-1 Tightening torques for bolted connections with a tolerance of ±10%.

Applications
The above-mentioned tightening torques apply for the following applications:
● Case A
Applies to electrical connections in which the permissible torque is normally limited by the
bolt materials and/or the current carrying capacity of the insulators, with the exception of the
busbar connections in case B.
● Case B
Applies to bolts screwed into components made from materials with lower property class
(e. g. aluminum) and to bolts with property class 8.8 according to ISO 898-1.
● Case C
Applies to bolts with property class 8.8, A4-70 or A4-80 according to ISO 898-1, however
only to bolts screwed into components made from materials with higher property class, e.g.
cast iron, steel or cast steel.
Note
