1. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Motors should preferably be stored in their normal orientation. They should be stored in a clean, dry location
away from vibration. Motors with shaft clamps should be stored with the clamps in place.
If motors have been exposed to moisture during long periods of storage then the insulation resistance of the
windings to the frame (earth) should be checked with the aid of a megger (max. d.c. voltage 500V) prior to
installation. Note do not megger Thermistors.
If any motor damage is to be claimed as “warranty”, TECO Australia must be consulted prior to any work being
carried out on motor.
2. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Motors should be installed to the requirements of AS3000:2007 SAA Wiring Rules or in line with local
regulations.
The installation of the equipment shall be carried out in a manner that does not reduce the protection afforded
by the equipment design.
When installing the motor the following points should be carefully checked:
rated voltage and frequency
ambient temperature should not exceed 40C, unless confirmed with TECO sales office
altitude does not exceed 1000 meters above sea level
correct connection of motor (see below)
any shaft seals are correctly seated to ensure IP protection
The use of the motor should conform to the specified degree of protection in accordance with AS60034.5-
2009.
Care must be taken to ensure that the cooling air can flow is unhindered. The space between the air intake
and the nearest wall should be approximately equal to the shaft height of the motor. Foundations must be
designed in such a way that vibration is avoided when the motor and the driven machine are running coupled.
Care should be taken to ensure that any condensate drain holes/plugs are located at the lowest point of motor
casing. Any shaft clamps to prevent damage to the bearings in transit, must be removed before motor is put
into operation. Before mounting the transmission parts, the motor shaft should be cleaned with a solvent.
Secure the motor to a level surface. Unevenness leads to mechanical deformation of the motor. The motor
should be used only with coupling systems which are elastic with respect to centre offset, angular
displacement, longitudinal shift and torsional strain. Rigid coupling systems are not permissible (unless
previously agreed).
If direct coupling is employed check centre offset and angular offset with test arm and dial gauge. The
following deviations should not be exceeded:
Centre offset (radial measurement) 0.03 mm in 2 pole motors. 0.05 mm in motors with more than
2 poles. (the dial shows twice the value of the deviation).
Angular offset (axial measurement) 0.10 mm.
Check alignment at normal operating temperature.
With applications involving belt transmission, unnecessary axial forces on the bearings can be avoided by
positioning the shafts parallel to each other and keeping the pulleys perfectly aligned. The belt tension should
be just sufficiently stretched to prevent slipping in service. If the pulleys are too small the motor shaft is subject
to a high bending force which can result in shaft failure.
The connections for standard MONARCH three phase motors is –
Star connected 415 Volt up to and including 3kW
Delta connected 415 Volt 4kW and larger
This connection is indicated on the connection diagram inside terminal box lid.

For special voltages and the like, different connections will be noted on the motor nameplate beside the
voltage.
If the phases L1, L2 & L3 are connected in sequence with the motor terminals U1, V1 and W1, the direction of
rotation is clockwise if motor viewed from the drive end. Procedure for reversing the direction of rotation:
Interchange any two incoming main leads.
All Motors – apart from a few exceptions are suitable for operation in both directions. In the case of motors
intended for only one direction (with uni-directional fan), the direction of rotation is indicated by an arrow.
Two speed motor connection diagrams –
Dual Wound motors are: 4 / 6 pole, 6 / 8 pole speeds
Tapped Wound Motors are: 2 / 4 pole, 4 / 8 pole speeds
3. CLEANING, LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
Periodical checking of the magnetic starter (where used) is recommended, in order to prevent serious
problems developing such as oxidation and poor electrical contact.
The intake and outlet openings as well as the channels between the cooling fins must be kept clean and
protected against clogging to prevent motor overheating.
For motors up to frame size D180, these are generally not fitted with grease nipples. This means that greasing
can only be carried out during general overhauls when the motor is disassembled.
Motors in frame size D180 and larger have greasing facilities and are factory lubricated for the initial start up
period prior to commissioning.
1) D180-315L Lubrication should be performed as follows prior to use:
a) Clean the grease nipples with clean cloth
b) Whilst motor is running, introduce new grease until all the old grease is purged from the grease
relief vents located at the bottom of the endshield
2) D355-400 Lubrication should be performed as follows prior to use (motor off):
c) Motor D355 and larger Non Drive end requires fan cover to be removed
d) Remove the grease relief screwed plug underside of the bearing cap before pumping new grease
e) Run motor for short period (5 minutes) with fan cover on and plug out to allow excess grease to
escape
f) Switch off motor, remove fan cover and refit screw grease relief screwed plug

Grease Type: SKF LGHP 2 is a premium quality grease, mineral oil based using Polyurea (di-urea) thickener.
It has excellent lubrication properties for a wide temperature range from -40 °C (-40 °F) up to 150 °C (302 °F).
This grease replaces the SKF high temperature grease LGHQ 3

facilities.
Definitions
Standard conditions: 8 hour operation per day with rated or light loading in a clean low-vibration environment.

4. PROTECTION / AUXILIARY DEVICES
Thermistors
Are fitted to frame sizes D160 and larger and are generally terminated in the main terminal box unless
otherwise specified. Thermistors are positive temperature coefficient type, one fitted per phase (1000 ohm
each @ tripping temperature = 3000total) with a trip temperature to suit motor insulation class. Connect
thermistor leads to a thermistors control relay from a reputable supplier.
Anti-condensation Heaters
If the motor is provided with Anti-condensation Heaters (if specified / ordered, check for nameplate), the
incoming supply to the heaters is shown on the heater nameplate. The heater circuit should be de-energised
when the motor is running.
