INTRODUCTION 5
1.2. Intended application
The motor is primarily intended to be used for heavy electrical vehicle applications, as a traction motor,
generator or auxiliary motor. It also fits as propulsion or auxiliary unit in Marine segment. Due to the
nature of their electrical and mechanical operating conditions, improper installation or operation, as well
as insufficient maintenance, could introduce hazards which could lead to severe bodily injuries or
damages to property.
These instructions only consider those measures which must be observed when the motor is being
operated in its operative range and in its intended application. The applicable national, local and plant
regulations must also be taken into consideration.
1.3. Warranty
The warranty period is 12 months after commissioning but no later than 18 months from the date of
notification of being ready for shipment. An extended warranty can be offered on request.
1.4. Information on electromagnetic compatibility
The user must take precautions during installation and operation in order not to impair the
electromagnetic compatibility.
If it is necessary to replace any anti-interference components, filters or screened cables, the new parts
must be identical to the originals.
1.5. Required qualifications for personnel who
handle the motor
Installation, operation, maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by mechanically and
electrically skilled personnel qualified and properly trained for this work. These persons must be well
informed about the motor, that is, they must have completely read and fully understand the relevant
chapters of these operating instructions.

1.6. Safety
The motor is manufactured and intended for use only as prescribed by this manual. Modification,
alteration, or lack of maintenance procedures as described in the service manual may adversely affect the
safety and efficiency of this device. The manufacturer is not responsible for malfunctions that comprise
safety as a result of alteration, use of non ABB replacements parts, neglect or misuse.
Should pre-owned ABB equipment be purchased and reconditioned, the equipment should not be used
until testing and analysis demonstrate that the equipment meets the original or upgraded specifications.
The use of solvents as cleaning agents and the use of lubricants can involve health and/or safety hazards.
The recommended precautions and procedures stated by manufacturers should be followed.
Non-authorized modifications as well as the use of tools, components and auxiliary components not
corresponding to the installation or maintenance instructions exclude any liability of the motor
manufacturer.
The motor has rotating parts and parts which may be spinning even at rest, and possibly hot surfaces.
1.7. Contraindications
The motor is not designed, sold or intended for any use except as indicated above. Furthermore, it is not
intended to be used outside of the motor specifications or limitations. The motor must be in good
working order.
If technical modifications are considered, they shall always be approved by ABB and be carried out by
qualified personnel.

WASTE DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING 7
2. Waste disposal and recycling
This instruction concerns the disposal and recycling of AMXE132 and AMXE200. The motors are designed
in such a way that it is easy to separate different components and types of material from each other,
making it easier to recycle.
NOTE: The methods are described in a very general way. All instructions are to be performed by
personnel who are trained and skilled for the procedure.
2.1. Dismantling the motor
Warning - Heavy Components
Risk of personal injury when dismantling the motor. Only skilled
and trained personnel should carry out dismantling.
Dismantling the motor is done by simply separating all the components of the motor. Since the motor
mainly is assembled with screws and nuts, it is rather simple to carry out the dismantling. When the
motor has been dismantled into its different components, the different components have to be
separated and grouped together depending on material types.
2.2. Normal carbon steel
The following components are separated into one group for normal carbon steel:
1. Bearing cover
2. Locking nut
3. Bearings
4. Connection box cover/rear cover
5. Connection flange (AMXE200)
6. Rotor shaft
7. Stator end plates (support plates)
8. Motor feet
9. Retaining ring
10. Spring washer
11. Screws and bolts etc.

2.3. Electrical silicon steel non oriented
The following components are separated into one group for electric silicon steel non oriented:
1. Stator lamination
2. Rotor lamination
3. Resolver rotor/stator
These laminations are shrink fitted to respective components and can be separated by using heat
2.4. Stainless steel
1. Cooling pipe and connectors
2.5. Nodular cast iron
1. DE-shield
2.6. Aluminum
1. Stator frame
2. Rating plates
3. NDE shield
4. Rotor end plates/rotor fan
2.7. Copper
Copper is mostly integrated in the actual components and require some effort in order to be separated.
There are some special tools available to help separation but normally wedges, large hammers, gas
burners and manpower is used.
The following components are separated into one group for copper:
1. Stator winding
2. Stator connection
3. Resolver winding

WASTE DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING 9
2.8. Metallic
1. HV connectors
2. LV connector housing
2.9. Non-Metallic
1. Parts in winding
2. Parts in connection box
3. Shaft seal
4. O-rings
5. Cable insulation
6. Parts in resolver
7. Parts in connectors
2.10. Hazardous waste
Warning - Grease handling
The grease from the bearings is to be considered as hazardous waste and must be
taken care of according to regulations.
2.11. Permanent magnets
Magnets need to be removed and recycled. Removal is only performed in a specialized (ABB) Service
Center and will be according to instructions developed for this purpose.
