1.3. Intended use
Electrical motor will convert electrical energy into
mechanical rotating energy or vice versa. Its primary
usage is found in aviation, but not limited to. The
motors can also be used for traction application,
energy recuperation, … If your intended use differs
from standard applications seen on company website,
please contact EMRAX support about its appropriate
usage.
1.4. Operating ceiling
The electric motor can operate in ambient
temperatures between -40 to +60⁰C. The maximum
motor temperature allowed as recorded by internal
temperature sensor is 120⁰C.
See motor technical tables for continuous and peak
power ratings.
The maximum service ceiling is 6,500 m (21,300 ft).
1.5. Description of nameplate
Motor rating and identification data are furnished on
labels and nameplates. Nameplates provide a
permanent record of motor characteristics, plant
identification and date of manufacture. Below is an
example of a label that is attached to the shipping
package:
228 –Motor size
(188, 208, 228, 268, 348)
MV –Voltage version of the motor
(LV-low voltage, MV-medium voltage, HV-high voltage)
1361 –Serial number of the motor
22–Year of production (21-2021)
IP65–IP rating
500 Vdc –Maximum input voltage
1.6. Serial number
Every motor that is manufactured by EMRAX has a
model and a serial number, which are permanently
marked on the motor nameplate. When contacting
EMRAX please provide the serial number and
configuration of the motor.
1.7. Delivery
Prior to shipment, all motors are factory-tested and
balanced. They are wrapped in protecting wrap and
packed in boxes or bolted to a wooden base. Upon
receipt, we recommend careful handling and a
psychical examination for damage which may have
occurred during the transportation.
In the event of damage and to guaranty insurance
coverage, notify the sales office or support email with
picture evidence, without delay.
1.8. Storage
When motors are not immediately installed, they
should be stored in their upright position in a dry,
temperature-controlled place, free of dust, gasses,
and corrosive atmospheres. Other objects should not
be place on or against them. Motors stored over long
periods are subject to loss of insulation resistance
and oxidation of the bearings.
Bearings deserve special attention during prolonged
periods of storage. Depending on the length and
conditions of storage it may be necessary to change
rusted bearings. The weight of the rotor in an inactive
motor tends to expel grease from between the
bearing surfaces thereby removing the protective
film that impedes metal-to-metal contact. As a
preventive measure against the formation of
corrosion by contact, motors should not be stored
near machines which cause vibrations, and every 3
month their shafts should be rotated manually. Check
the motor for smoothness of operation before first
start, if necessary, contact EMRAX support.
Insulation resistance fluctuates widely with
temperature and humidity variations and the
cleanliness of components. When a motor is not
immediately put into service it should be protected
against moist, high temperatures and impurities, thus
avoiding damage to insulation resistance.
If the motor has been in storage more than six
months or has been subjected to adverse moisture
conditions, it is best to check the insulation resistance
of the stator winding with an insulation tester.
