Explosion hazard from hybrid mixtures

Hybrid mixtures are mixtures of flammable dusts with explosive gas/air atmospheres which can
together create a dangerous explosive atmosphere if they occur at the same time. Changes can
arise in the safety performance characteristics here, such as a change in the zonal classification,
increase in the explosion pressure, reduction in the minimum ignition energy and a reduction in
the maximum temperatures to be complied with.
An explosion can occur. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• For this reason, the relative characteristics must be considered both for gas (zones 0, 1 and
2) and for dust (zones 20, 21 and 22) where hybrid mixtures arise. It is necessary for a
competent assessor to determine in the individual case whether the parameters determining
ignition are unfavorably affected in a particular hybrid mixture.
• Motors with dual plates for G (“Gas”) and D (“Dust”) may only be used where these two occur
after prior examination of the properties of the hybrid mixtures by the user.
• These explosion-protected machines are not suitable for hybrid explosive environments. Use
in atmospheres where there is a risk of explosion caused by both gas and dust simultaneously
is absolutely prohibited.

Description
3.3 Installation
3.3.2 Cooling and ventilation
The machines of this series are three-phase induction machines with a closed primary (internal)
cooling circuit and an open secondary cooling circuit (surface cooling). The surface cooling
varies depending on the version.
3.3.2.1 Machines with a fan
Self-ventilation (standard): Cooling method IC 411 according to EN / IEC 60034-6

Located at the ND end of the stator housing is an air intake cowl that guides the external air on
its way to the motor. The external air is drawn in through openings in the air intake cowl and
flows axially across the outer cooling ribs of the motor frame. The fan wheel for the external
flow of cooling air is attached to the machine shaft.
The fan wheels are bidirectional.
Check the cooling effect below rated speed in the case of frequent switching or braking – or if
the speed is controlled continually below the rated speed.
,&,&$$
Forced ventilation (optional): Type of cooling IC 416 in accordance with EN / IEC 60034-6
Cooling that does not depend on the speed is achieved by means of a unit that is independent
of the motor operating state (forced ventilation). This unit is closed to the outside by a fan cover.
It has its own main drive with fan impeller which creates the cooling air flow required for cooling
the motor.
,&,&$$
3.3.2.2 Machines without a fan (optional)

Cooling method IC 410
Surface cooling by free convection: Cooling method IC 410 according to EN / IEC 60034-6
Cooling method IC 418

Surface cooling by relative movement of cooling air: Cooling method IC 418 according to
EN / IEC 60034-6
3.3.3 Bearings
To support the machine shaft and maintain its position in the non-moving part of the machine,
DE and NDE rolling bearings are used. One end performs the function of a locating bearing that
transfers axial and radial forces from the rotating machine shaft to the non-moving part of the
machine. The opposite end is implemented as a floating and support bearing to allow thermal
expansion inside the machine and transfer radial forces.
The nominal (theoretical) service life of the bearings according to ISO 281 is at least 20,000
hours when the permissible radial/axial forces are complied with, and the machine is operated
on 50 Hz line supplies. However, the achievable useful life of the bearings can be significantly
longer in the case of lower forces (e.g. operation with self-aligning couplings).
Rolling bearings with permanent lubrication are maintenance-free.
3.3.4 Axial and radial forces

Permissible values for axial and radial forces are listed in the catalog or stamped on the rating
plate depending on the type of construction / mounting type. The data stamped on the rating
plate have priority.
WARNING
Damage to bearings or the shaft
Large output masses and their centers of gravity outside the shaft extensions can lead to
resonance in operation. This can result in damage to the bearings and shaft. In an explosive
atmosphere, there is a risk of explosion. Death, serious injury, or material damage can result.
• Ensure that the permissible loads for the forces on the shaft extension are adhered to in
accordance with the catalog data or configuration data.
• Under all circumstances, maintain the minimum radial load of cylindrical rolling bearings of
50 % of the permissible radial force.
The machine is equipped with grease-lubricated rolling bearings.

• In the standard version, the bearings of machines up to shaft height 250 are permanently
lubricated.
• The bearings of machines from shaft height 280 and above are equipped with a relubrication
system.
3.3.5 Balancing
As standard, the machine is designed with vibration severity level A. The rotor is dynamically
balanced with a half feather key (code "H").
Vibration severity level B can be ordered as option, and stamped on the rating plate.

4.5.2 Storage
Storing outdoors
NOTICE
Damage to the motor
Damage can occur if incorrectly stored.
Take all precautions to protect the motor under extreme climatic conditions, e.g. salt-laden
and/or dusty, moist/humid atmospheres.
Choose a dry storage location which is safe from flooding and free from vibration. Repair
any damage to the packaging before putting the equipment into storage if this is necessary
to ensure proper storage conditions. In order to ensure protection against ground moisture,
locate machines, equipment and crates on pallets, wooden beams or foundations. Prevent
equipment from sinking into the ground. Do not impede air circulation under the stored
items.
Covers or tarpaulins used to protect the equipment against the weather must not come into
contact with the surfaces of the equipment. Use wooden spacer elements to ensure that air
can circulate freely around the equipment.
Storing indoors
The storage rooms must provide protection against extreme weather conditions. They must be
dry, free from dust, frost and vibration and well ventilated.
Bare metal surfaces

For transport, the bare surfaces (shaft ends, flange surfaces, centering edges) should be coated
with an anti-corrosion agent which will last for a limited amount of time (<6 months). Apply
suitable anti-corrosion measures for longer storage times.
Condensation drain hole

conditions, every six months at the latest.
1MB..1/2/3/4 - shaft heights 63 ... 355

Preparing for use
4.5.3 Temperature limits during storage

The materials used are specially designed for the temperature range required by the customer.
The relevant temperature limits are specified on the rating plate.
WARNING
Risk of explosion due to damaged sealing materials
Storing machines at temperatures that do not fall within the specified limits can damage the
material of the seals and cause them to no longer seal correctly. The certified type of protection
of the machine can no longer be complied with.
As a result, a potentially explosive gaseous atmosphere can enter the machine and be ignited
during commissioning. Explosions can occur. This can result in death, serious injury or material
damage.
• Do not store the machine in conditions that lie outside the specified temperature limits.
Storage temperature
Permissible temperature range: -20 °C to +50 °C
Maximum permissible air humidity: 60%
For machines that have a special design regarding the ambient temperature in the operating
state or the installation altitude, other conditions could apply regarding the storage
temperature. In this case, refer to the machine rating plate for data on the ambient
temperature and installation altitude.
Storage time
Turn the shaft once every year to avoid bearing brinelling. Prolonged storage periods reduce the
useful life of the bearing grease (aging).
Open bearings
• For open bearings, e.g. 1Z, check the status of the grease when stored for longer than 12
months.
• Replace the grease if it is identified that the grease has lost its lubricating properties or is
polluted. The consistency of the grease will change if condensation is allowed to enter.
Closed bearings
• For closed bearings, replace the DE and NDE bearings after a storage time of 48 months.
1MB..1/2/3/4 - shaft heights 63 ... 355

Preparing for use
NOTICE
Storage
The motor can be damaged if you use it or store it unprotected outdoors.
• Protect the motor against intensive solar radiation, rain, snow, ice and dust. Use a
superstructure or additional cover, for example.
• If required, contact the Service Center (Page 12) and/or technically coordinate outdoor use.
4.5.4 Securing the rotor

Depending on the version, the machine is fitted with a rotor shipping brace. This protects the
bearings against damage due to shock and vibration during transport or storage.
NOTICE
Motor damage due to vibrations
Not using the rotor shipping brace can cause damage to the machine if it is jolted during
transport or storage. Material damage can result.
• If the machine is fitted with a rotor shipping brace, this should always be used when
transporting the machine. The rotor shipping brace must be attached during the transport.
• Protect the motor against strong radial shocks and vibration when storing, as the rotor
shipping brace cannot completely absorb these forces.
• Do not remove the rotor shipping brace until you are ready to push on the output element.
• If the customer already has mounted parts, such as a coupling or belt pulley, the bearings
can be damaged during transport. In this case, make sure that the customer uses a rotor
shipping brace.
• For machines with a vertical type of construction:
– Do not remove the rotor shipping brace until the machine is in a vertical position.
– If a machine has to be transported in a horizontal position, the rotor must be fixed in

4.5.5.1 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?
From this, 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:

Do not exceed the winding temperature tolerances. Inadmissibly high winding temperatures
can damage the machine over the long term.
Keep within the permissible tolerance for voltage and frequency.
Every machine must be protected against an inadmissible temperature rise. Observe the
following notes:
• Protect every machine according to IEC/EN 60079–14 using a current-dependent, delayed
circuit breaker with phase failure protection according to IEC/EN 60947 or a similar device in
all phases.
• Set the protective device to the rated current (value is stamped on the rating plate).
• Protect the windings in a delta connection in such a way that the tripping unit or relay is
connected in series with the winding phases. When selecting and setting the tripping unit,
define the rated value of the phase current. The phase current is 0.58 times the rated
machine current. Any thermal machine protection via direct temperature monitoring to be
used in addition to the machine circuit breaker is specified on the rating plate if required.

Danger as a result of resonance within certain speed ranges

At over-critical speeds, machines encounter resonance within certain speed ranges. Such
vibrations can reach impermissibly high levels. This can result in death, serious injury or material
damage.
• The controller must ensure that those speed ranges are blocked when the converter is in
operation. Please comply with the data on the blocked speed ranges specified in the electrical
data.
• The blocked speed ranges must be run through rapidly.
Machine damage due to excessively high speeds

Excessive rotational speed can lead to serious damage to the machine. This can result in death,
• Avoid operation above the permissible speed by using the appropriate control function.
• Comply with the speeds stamped on the rating plate and in the electrical data.
4.12 System-inherent frequencies

Excessively high vibration levels and system resonances can damage the machine set.
• Configure and match the system consisting of the foundation and machine set in such a way
that no system resonances can arise and result in the permissible vibration levels being
exceeded.
• Do not exceed the vibration values according to DIN ISO 10816-3.
4.13 Electromagnetic compatibility
Note
If the torque levels are very unequal (e.g. when a reciprocating compressor is being driven), a
non-sinusoidal machine current will be induced whose harmonics can have an impermissible

4.14 Converter operation
Note
Converter
• If operated with a frequency converter, the emitted interference varies in strength,
depending on the design of the converter (type, interference suppression measures,
manufacturer).
• Avoid that the specified limit values stipulated for the drive system (consisting of the motor
and converter) are exceeded.
• You must observe the EMC information from the manufacturer of the converter.
• The most effective method of shielding is to conductively connect a shielded machine supply
cable to the metal terminal box of the machine (with a metal screw connection) over a large
surface area.
• On machines with integrated sensors (e.g. PTC thermistors), disturbance voltages caused by
the converter may occur on the sensor cable.
When used in accordance with their proper and intended purpose and operated on an electrical
supply system with characteristics according to EN 50160, the enclosed machines comply with
the requirements of the EC Directive regarding electromagnetic compatibility.
Immunity to interference
The machines fulfill the requirements of interference immunity in conformity with EN /
IEC 61000-6-2. For machines with integrated sensors, e.g. PTC thermistors, the operating
company must ensure sufficient interference immunity by selecting a suitable sensor signal
cable (possibly with shielding, connected in the same way as the machine feeder cable) and a
suitable evaluation unit.
When operating the machines from a converter at speeds higher than the rated speed, carefully
comply with the mechanical speed limits (safe operating speed EN / IEC 60034-1).
4.14.1 Parameterizing the converter

• If the design of the motor requires connection to a particular converter type, the rating plate
will contain corresponding additional information.
• Correctly parameterize the converter. Parameterizing data can be taken from the machine
rating plates.
You can find parameter data here:
– In the converter operating instructions
– In the TIA selection tool
– In the SINAMICS Configuration Manual if available
– For explosion-proof machines, also in the declaration of compliance with the order 2.1.

• Do not exceed or fall below limit speed nmin or nmax. If no other value is specified, the minimum
speed limit is nmin 5 Hz. The speed limits are either stamped on the rating plate or the
supplementary plate for converter operation as the highest or lowest specified speed.
• Carefully check that it is guaranteed that the machine is cooled when it is being
commissioned.
4.14.2 Converter input voltage

The insulation system of SIMOTICS LV machines always complies with the requirements of stress
category C (IVIC C = high stress). If voltage peaks higher than those specified according to IVIC C
can occur, contact the Service Center (Page 12).
• For a line supply voltage (converter input voltage) up to max. 480 V, and when controlled
from a SINAMICS converter with uncontrolled/controlled infeed: Comply with the guidelines
for configuring motor and converter.
• For line voltages (converter input voltages) higher than 480 V, motors have an appropriate
insulation system when ordered for converter operation.
• Operation with a converter from another manufacturer: Comply with the permissible voltage
peaks according to IEC 60034-18-41 in accordance with stress category C, dependent on the
particular line voltage (converter input voltage) and the motor insulation system.
NOTICE
Material damage caused by an excessively high supply voltage
The insulation system will be damaged if the supply voltage is too high for the insulation
system. This can completely destroy the machine.
• Comply with the peak voltages as laid down in the guidelines above.
4.14.3 Reducing bearing currents

To prevent damage due to bearing currents, you must carefully assess the complete system, i.e.
the motor, converter and driven machine.
• In addition to grounding the motors via the solid grounding conductor, use low impedance
grounding in the high frequency range using braided flat copper straps or RF stranded wire
conductors. Connect these conductors through a large contact surface. Solid copper cables
are not suitable for RF grounding because of the skin effect.
• Use symmetrically structured, shielded connecting cables to connect the motor to a
converter. The protective braided shield, comprising many strands, must have a high
electrical conductivity. Braided shields made of copper or aluminum are well suited. Connect
the shielding at both ends on the motor and on the converter. Keep unshielded cable ends
short.

shielding on the motor enclosure and on the protective grounding bar of the converter, for
example, as follows:
– Motor side: EMC glands at the cable entries
– Converter side: EMC shield clips
• In the overall system, set up a properly meshed grounding system with low impedance for
high-frequency currents.
• No potential difference between the motor, converter, and working machine.
– Use equipotential bonding cables between the terminal box and the high-frequency
grounding point on the motor enclosure.
– Use a separate high-frequency equipotential bonding cable between the motor enclosure
and the protective grounding bar of the converter.
– Use a separate high-frequency equipotential bonding cable between the motor enclosure
and the driven machine.
• Use the common-mode filter (damping cores) at the converter output. The SIEMENS sales
partner is responsible for selecting and dimensioning.
• Limit the rise in voltage by using output filters. Output filters dampen the harmonic content
in the output voltage.
• Use the motor reactors.
• Preferably use an IT line supply with an insulated neutral point.
The operating instructions for the converter are not part of this documentation. Carefully
comply with the instructions in the converter configuring information.

5.2.1 Requirements for installation

The following requirements must be satisfied prior to starting installation work:
• Staff have access to the operating and installation instructions.
• The machine is unpacked and ready for mounting at the installation location.
• Measure the insulation resistance of the winding before starting any installation work. If the
insulation resistance lies below the specified value, take appropriate remedial measures.
These remedial measures may necessitate the machine being removed again and
transported.
Note
Note also the technical data on the rating plates on the motor enclosure.

Measure the insulation resistance

1. Follow the instructions in the Operating Manual of the insulation measuring instrument
used.
2. Ground other windings, integrated winding temperature sensors and, if applicable, other
mounted and installed components.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage at the terminals
Hazardous voltages are sometimes present at the terminals during and immediately after
measurement of the insulation resistance or polarization index of the winding. Contact with
these can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• If power cables are connected, ensure that a line voltage cannot be applied.
If no power cables are connected, this reduces the effect of the I/O devices on the
measurement.
• 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 connecting cable.
3. 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.
4. 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.
6. Discharge the winding after performing the measurement.

Limit values for the winding insulation resistance

The following table lists the measuring voltage and limit values for the insulation resistance Ri.
These values correspond to recommendations provided in IEC 60034-27-4.

U > 12000 5000, max. 10000
Urated = rated voltage, see the rating plate

Umeas = DC measuring voltage
RiC = minimum insulation resistance up to 40 °C winding temperature
Converting to the reference temperature according to IEC 60034-27-4

Convert values measured at winding temperatures of 40 to 60 °C to the reference temperature
of 40 °C:
RiC = RiT x KT RiC = Ri converted to the reference temperature of 40 °C

RiT = Ri at the given winding temperature T in °C
KT = temperature correction factor
40 - T X = 1 in the range 10 ... 40 °C
KT = 0,5 X
X = 17 in the range 40 ... 60 °C
40 = reference temperature in °C
T = measurement/winding temperature in °C
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 ... 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 influence 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.
1MB..1/2/3/4 - shaft heights 63 ... 355

Assembly
Note
Comment to IEEE 43
According to IEEE 43, also for winding temperatures < 40 °C, Ri must be converted over to the
reference temperature of 40 °C.
As the minimum values for Ri apply at 40 °C, the required Ri values are somewhat higher for
winding temperatures below 40 °C.
Measuring the polarization index

1. To determine the polarization index, measure the insulation resistances after 1 and
10 minutes.
2. Express the measured values as a ratio:
Polarization index = Ri 10 min / Ri 1 min
Many measuring devices display these values automatically following the measurement.
Measuring the polarization index is not helpful for insulation resistances > 5000 MΩ, and is
therefore not included in the assessment.
Ri 10 min / Ri 1 min Assessment

<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 12).
• If the measured value is close to the critical value, you must subsequently check the
insulation resistance at shorter intervals.

The following measures are required in order to compensate any radial offset at the coupling and
to horizontally adjust the electrical machine with respect to the driven load:
• Vertical positioning
For vertical mounting positions, avoid deforming the machines by placing shims under the
mounting feet. Keep the number of shims low; only use a few stacked shims.
• Horizontal positioning
To position the machine horizontally, shift it sideways on the foundation and ensure that the
axial position is maintained (angularity error).
1MB..1/2/3/4 - shaft heights 63 ... 355

Assembly
• When positioning the motor, ensure that a uniform axial gap is maintained around the
coupling.
• Smooth running
Preconditions for smooth, vibration-free operation:
– Stable foundation design free of any shock or vibration.
– A precisely aligned coupling.
– A well-balanced drive output element (coupling, belt pulleys, fans, ...)
Maintain the maximum permissible vibration values in operation according to ISO 10816-3.
Avoid inadmissible vibration caused by imbalance, for example (drive output element),
external vibration or any resonance over the complete speed range.
It may be necessary to completely balance the machine with the drive output element or the
system resonance frequency must be shifted.
• Foot mounting/flange mounting
– Use the specified thread size laid down in EN 50347 when flanging the machine to a
foundation or a machine flange.
– Mount the machine at all the foot or flanged holes provided. The choice of fixing elements
depends on the foundation and is the plant operator's responsibility. Comply with the
required property classes for screwed connections and materials for fixing elements.
– Select the correct screw length for IM B14 flanges.
– Ensure that the screw heads are in full contact with the flange surface. Use additional flat
washers (ISO 7093), especially for elongated foot mounting holes.

5.5 Installing the machine
5.5.1 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.
• Vibration values in compliance with ISO 10816‑3
5.5.2 Aligning the machine to the driven machine and mounting
5.5.2.1 Type of construction without flange

If the motor is not fitted with a flange, align the motor to suit the driven machine.
For types of construction without flange (e.g. IM B3), use suitable covers to ensure that no
small parts can fall down between the transmission element and the bearing shield on the
drive side.
5.5.2.2 Horizontal types of construction with mounting feet

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 are parallel with no offset. This ensures that no additional forces
affect their bearings during operation.
3. For the vertical positioning (x→0) place thin shims 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. If available, use the existing tapped holes
for the forcing-off bolts to somewhat raise the machine.
4. When positioning the machine, ensure that a uniform axial gap (y→0) is maintained around
the coupling.
5. Fix the machine to the foundation. The choice of fixing elements depends on the foundation
and is the plant operator's responsibility.
Note
Machine expansion
When aligning, make allowance for the thermal expansion of the machine when the
temperature increases.

5.5.2.3 Horizontal types of construction with flange

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.
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.

3. Lower the machine slowly toward the driven machine and into the centering, so that the
flanges do not quite touch. Lowering 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. Lower the machine completely onto the mating flange so that it is fully in contact; then
remove the studs.
6. Fix the machine using the flange fixing bolts.
5.5.3 Removing the rotor shipping brace

If a rotor shipping brace is attached to the machine, remove it at the last possible moment,
for example, when you are ready to push on the output or drive element.
Storing the rotor locking device

Store the rotor locking device in a safe place. It must be remounted if the machine is removed
and shipped on further.
5.5.4 Recommended alignment accuracy

The alignment accuracy required depends essentially on the configuration of the overall
machine train. Observe the required alignment accuracy of the coupling manufacturer in all
cases when aligning the machine.
Table 5-2 Recommended alignment accuracy

1MB..1/2/3/4 - shaft heights 63 ... 355

Assembly
5.5.5 Mounting the drive output elements
The rotor is dynamically balanced. For shaft extensions with feather keys, the type of balancing
is specified using the following coding on the face of the drive end of the shaft extension and on
the rating plate:
• "H" means balancing with a half feather key (standard)
• "F" means balancing with a whole feather key
• "N" means balancing without a featherkey.
Figure 5-1 DE balancing type
WARNING
Risk of injury due to Incorrect installation or removal
The feather key may be flung out if the motor is operated without drive output elements, such
as coupling, etc. Carefully comply with the required measures.
This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• The general touch protection measures for drive output elements must be observed.
• Only operate the machine with the drive output element mounted.
• Drive output elements may only be pulled on or pulled off with the correct equipment.
• The feather keys are only locked against falling out during shipping. For test operation or
when commissioning without drive output element, carefully secure the feather key
using a suitable locking element. When doing this, take into account the type of machine
balancing.
1MB..1/2/3/4 - shaft heights 63 ... 355

Assembly
Pulling on drive output elements

• Requirements:
– The coupling and/or the drive output element must be appropriately dimensioned for the
operating case at hand.
– Observe the coupling manufacturer's instructions.
– Make sure that the balancing type of the drive output element correctly matches the type
of balance of the rotor.
– Use only ready drilled and balanced drive output elements. Check the hole diameters and
the balancing status before pulling them on. Thoroughly clean the shaft extension.
• Pulling on:
– Heat up the drive output elements to expand them before pulling them on. Select the
temperature difference for the heating process to suit the coupling diameter, fit and
material. Observe the coupling manufacturer's instructions.
– Drive output elements may only be pulled on or pulled off with the correct equipment.
The drive output element must be pulled on in one continuous operation via the front
thread holes in the shaft or pushed on by hand.
– Do not use a hammer, as this will damage the bearings.

Only transfer radial or axial forces specified in the catalog to the machine bearings via the
shaft extension.
You can obtain the permissible values for axial and radial forces by contacting the Service
Center (Page 12) or by referring to the machine catalog.
See also
Axial and radial forces (Page 31)
Shaft extensions with feather key

The feather key data for the shaft and drive output element must match and indicate the
correct type of balancing. The drive output element must be correctly mounted.
The balance quality corresponds to vibration severity grade "A" for the complete machine;
vibration severity grade "B" is possible as an option. To ensure the required balance quality, it
must be ensured that the feather key data on the hub and machine shaft match in the case
of a shorter or longer drive output element.
• If the drive output 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 drive
output element in order to maintain the balance quality.
• If the drive output element is longer than the feather key, when balancing the coupling, take
into account that the feather key does not take up all of the coupling slot.
The following applies to all four-pole machines with a frequency ≥ 60 Hz:
• The feather key must be shortened if the coupling hub is 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.
Align the offset at the coupling between electrical machines and the driven machines so that the
maximum permissible vibration values according to ISO 10816-3 are not exceeded.

Electrical connection 6
Hazardous voltages on electrical connections

Dangerous voltages can arise on electric motors. Death, injury or material damage can occur.
Observe the following safety information before connecting up the motor:
• Only qualified personnel should carry out work.
• Carefully follow the 5 safety rules.
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply and take measures to prevent it being
reconnected. This also applies to auxiliary circuits.
• Check that the machine really is in a no-voltage condition.
• Ensure that there is a safe and reliable protective conductor connection before starting any
work.
• If the incoming power supply system displays any deviations from the rated values in terms
of voltage, frequency, curve form or symmetry, such deviations will increase the temperature
and influence electromagnetic compatibility.
• Operating the machine on a line supply system with a non-grounded neutral point is only
permitted over short time intervals that occur rarely, e.g. the time leading to a fault being
eliminated (ground fault of a cable, IEC/EN 60034-1).

Electrical connection
6.1 Connecting the machine
Risk of explosion by fixing elements becoming loose

If you use fixing elements made from the wrong material or apply the wrong tightening torque,
this could impair current transfer or cause connecting parts to become loose. Fastening
elements can work loosely, so that the minimum air clearances are no longer maintained.
Sparking formation may occur, in an explosive atmosphere it can lead to an explosion. This could
result in death, serious injury or material damage to the machine or even in failure, which could
in turn lead to indirect material damage of the plant or system.
• Tighten the screwed connections to the specified tightening torques.
• Only use the fixing accessories provided or only the original spare parts from Siemens.
• Always carefully check the fastenings when carrying out service work.
See also
Tightening torques (Page 169)
6.1.1 Safe connection

• Carefully comply with the information provided in EN / IEC 60034-1 (VDE 0530-1) regarding
operation at the limits of A and B zones, especially in respect of temperature increase and
deviation of the operating data from the rated data stamped on the rating plate. Do not
exceed these limits. Do not use machines in zone B that are marked for zone A.
• Connect up so that a permanently safe electrical connection is guaranteed (no protruding
wire ends); use the assigned cable-end fittings (e.g. cable lugs, end sleeves).
Connect up the line supply voltage and arranged the disconnecting link in accordance with
the circuit diagram provided in the terminal box.
• Select the connecting cables in accordance with DIN VDE 0100 taking into account the rated
current and the installation-specific conditions – e.g. ambient temperature, routing method
etc. - according to DIN VDE 0298 and/or EN / IEC 60204‑1.
The technical specifications stipulate the following that have to be taken into account with
respect to the motor connection:
• Direction of rotation
• The number and arrangement of the terminal boxes.
• The circuit and connection of the motor winding
1MB..1/2/3/4 - shaft heights 63 ... 355

6.1.2 Selecting cables

Take the following criteria into account when selecting the connecting cables:
• Rated current
• Rated voltage
• If required, service factor
• System-dependent conditions, such as ambient temperature, routing type, cable cross-
section as defined by required length of cable, etc.
• Configuration notes
• Requirements according to IEC/EN 60204‑1
• Dimensioning for bundled cable routing, e.g. according to DIN VDE 0298 Part 4 or
IEC 60364-5-52
6.1.3 Thermal protection

• Protect every explosion-protected machine according to EN / IEC 60079-14 Chapter "Rotating
electrical machines".
• For machines with type of protection increased safety "eb", select the overcurrent device with
current-dependent delayed trip so that the tripping time, which should be taken from the
characteristic of the switch for the ratio IA / IN of the machine to be protected, is not longer
than the safe locked rotor time (tE). Take the ratio IA / IN as well as the safe locked rotor time
(tE) from the rating plate. Set the protective device to the rated current. Use a trip unit
certified according to directive 2014/34/EU or the corresponding national regulations.
• For machines with increased safety "eb" type of protection, in the event of a locked rotor the
protective device must disconnect within the safe locked rotor time (tE) specified for the
relevant temperature class. Protect electrical machines for heavy duty starting (acceleration
time > 1.7 x tE time) according to the specifications of the EU-type examination certificate
using a function to monitor starting.
Direct monitoring of the winding temperature is permissible as a means of thermal machine
protection, provided that this is certified and specified on the rating plate.
• With pole-changing machines, separate, interlocked protective devices are required for each
speed step. Devices with an EU-type examination certificate are recommended.

WARNING
Hazard due to electric shock
The installation of the temperature sensors for the winding monitoring with respect to the
winding is implemented according to the requirements for basic insulation. The temperature
sensor connections are located in terminal boxes that are safe to touch and have no protective
separation. This is the reason that in the case of a fault, a hazardous voltage can be present at
the measuring sensor cable. When touched, this can result in death, severe bodily injury and
material damage.
• When connecting the temperature sensor to external temperature monitoring devices,
when required, apply additional measures to fully comply with the requirements set out in
IEC 60664-1 or IEC 61800-5-1 "Hazard due to electric shock".
6.4.1 Connecting optional integrated devices and equipment

In addition to the current-dependent overload protective device located in the connecting

6.5.1 Connection with/without cable lugs

In the case of terminals with terminal clamps, distribute the conductors in such a way that the
clamping heights on both sides of the fillet are about the same. This method of connection
requires that you must bend a single conductor in a U shape or use a cable lug. The same applies
to the inner and outer terminals of the ground conductor.
When connecting up using cable lugs, select their size corresponding to the required cable
cross-section and the stud size. An inclined arrangement is only permitted provided the
required air clearances and creepage distances are carefully maintained.
Remove insulation from the ends of the conductors so that the remaining insulation almost
reaches the cable lug.
Note
The direct contact between the cable lug surfaces and the contact nuts or contact screws ensure
that the connection can conduct current.
WARNING
Short-circuit hazard
Live conductors released from the terminal board can cause short circuits. Death or serious
injury can result.
• You must bend single-core line conductors into a U shape in order to prevent the contact
force being transferred at just one side.
• In order to prevent the cable lug from rotating, for a line connection using a cable lug, angle
single- or multi-core cables downwards through an angle of approx. 40°.

6.5.2 Cable ends with wire end sleeves

1. Preferably use end sleeves instead of soldering cable ends.
2. Before connecting, attach the end sleeves so as to form a technically correct, current-carrying
crimped joint at the end of the conductor.
WARNING
Risk of explosion due to excessive temperature rise
If the end of the conductor is not correctly enclosed by the end sleeve, 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 end sleeve. Attach the end sleeve correctly.
6.5.3 Connecting 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 4 weeks. Make sure that the terminals are de-energized before you
tighten the nuts.

Measures for start-up

After installation or inspections, the following measures are recommended for normal start-up
of the machines:
• Start the machine without a load. To do this, close the circuit breaker and do not switch off
prematurely. Switching the machine off again while it is starting and still running at slow
speed should only be done to the extent necessary, for example for checking the direction of
rotation or for checking in general. Allow the machine to run down before switching it on
again.
• Check mechanical operation for noise or vibration at the bearings or end shields.
• If the machine is not running smoothly or is emitting abnormal noises, switch it off, and
determine the cause of the fault as it runs down.
• If mechanical operation improves immediately after the machine is switched off, then the
cause is magnetic or electrical, e.g. voltage imbalance, magnetic imbalance. If mechanical
operation does not improve immediately after switching the machine off, then the cause is
mechanical, e.g. an imbalance in the electrical machines or in the driven machine,
inadequate alignment of the machine set, operation of the machine with the system
resonating (system = machine + base frame + foundations etc.).

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 mechanical operation for noise or vibration at the bearings or end shields.
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.

• For cylindrical rolling bearings, carefully comply with the minimum radial load levels.
• In operation, comply with the permissible vibration values in accordance with ISO 10816-3.
Risk of explosion as a result of premature bearing failure

• Use insulated bearings if bearing currents occur. Carefully comply with the information in
Chapter Converter operation (Page 55)
• Carefully comply with the specified grease change intervals, relubrication intervals and oil
change intervals.
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
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.
Overheating as a result of the anti-condensation heating

If the anti-condensation heating is operated while the machine is operational, this can increase
the temperatures inside the machine and cause material damage.

Operation
Explosion hazard from hybrid mixtures

Hybrid mixtures are mixtures of flammable dusts with explosive gas/air atmospheres which can
together create a dangerous explosive atmosphere if they occur at the same time. Changes can
arise in the safety performance characteristics here, such as a change in the zonal classification,
increase in the explosion pressure, reduction in the minimum ignition energy and a reduction in
the maximum temperatures to be complied with.
An explosion can occur. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• For this reason, the relative characteristics must be considered both for gas (zones 0, 1 and
2) and for dust (zones 20, 21 and 22) where hybrid mixtures arise. It is necessary for a
competent assessor to determine in the individual case whether the parameters determining
ignition are unfavorably affected in a particular hybrid mixture.
• Motors with dual plates for G (“Gas”) and D (“Dust”) may only be used where these two occur
after prior examination of the properties of the hybrid mixtures by the user.
• These explosion-protected machines are not suitable for hybrid explosive environments. Use
in atmospheres where there is a risk of explosion caused by both gas and dust simultaneously
is absolutely prohibited.
Risk of explosion when used in the incorrect zone

Only install machines with type of protection increased safety "e" or "eb" and machines "nA" or
"ec" in hazardous zones, carefully complying with the regulations laid down by the responsible
regulatory body. The responsible regulatory body is responsible for determining the level of
explosion hazard (classifying zones).
Risk of explosion when the operating mode is not complied with

If there are no other specifications in the EU-type examination certificate or on the rating plate
regarding operating mode and tolerance, electrical machines are designed for continuous duty
and normal starting procedures that are performed infrequently and do not result in an
excessive temperature rise. Only use these machines for the operating mode specified on the
rating plate.

Maintenance
9.3 Corrective maintenance
WARNING
Explosion hazard caused by incorrect painting
The paint coat can become electrostatically charged if an excessively thick paint coat is applied.
Electrostatic discharge can then occur. There is a risk of explosion if potentially explosive
mixtures are also present at this moment.
This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
WARNING
Risk of explosion as a result of processes with high levels of electrostatic charging
For paint finishes in explosion group III, the paint can be electrostatically charged as a result of
intensive dust turbulence or processes with high levels of electrostatic charging. Electrostatic
discharges can occur. Minimize the risk of electrostatic charging by applying effective measures
according to IEC 60079-32-1. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Suitability test of the paint system for hazardous areas

Suitability certificates for the electrostatic suitability on explosion-protected machines are
available for paint systems ordered as standard. Non-standard or customer-specific paint
systems that have been used as well as subsequent painting require that customers perform
a suitability check regarding electrostatic charge according to EN/IEC 60079-0.

• Repairing and mounting the anti-condensation heating and the subsequent routine testing
must always be undertaken by experts from the service center (Page 12), because this work
requires extensive specialist knowledge.
• Only authorized and tested spare parts may be used.
10.7 Groups of parts

A distinction is made between the following groups of parts:
Spare parts
Spare parts are machine parts that can be ordered during the production time - and for a
further 5 years after discontinuation of production. These parts should be replaced only by
authorized service or modification partners.
Repair parts
Repair parts are machine parts that can only be supplied during the active production of
the machine (until the product discontinuation). Repair parts are parts used for the repair
or modification of the current products. These parts should be replaced only by authorized
service or modification partners.
Standardized parts
Standardized parts are machine parts that can be commercially obtained with the
necessary dimensions, materials and surface finish. A detailed list can be found in Chapter
"Standardized parts".
Other parts
Other parts are small parts required to complete the exploded drawing. These parts cannot
be supplied as individual spare or repair parts. Delivery as assembled units, for example as
complete terminal box, is possible on request.

10.8 Ordering example
Delivery obligations for replacement machines and repair parts

The following delivery obligations apply to replacement machines and repair parts after
production has been phased out.
• For up to 3 years after the delivery of the original machine, in the event of total machine
failure, Siemens will supply a comparable replacement machine with regard to the mounting
dimensions and functions; it is possible that this will involve a new series.
• If a replacement machine is supplied within the 3 year period, this does not mean that the
warranty restarts.
• Replacement machines delivered after the active production of the machine series are also
identified as spare motors on the rating plate.
• Spare parts are available only on request for these spare motors. Repair or replacement is not
possible.
• After a period of 3 years (after the delivery of the original machine), it is only possible to
repair these machines, depending on the availability of the spare parts required.
• After the delivery of the original motor, spare parts will be available for up to 5 years. For an
additional period of 5 years, Siemens provides information about spare parts, and when
required, provides documentation.

Bolt locking devices
• When assembling, refit nuts or bolts that are mounted together with locking, resilient,
and/or force-distributing elements with identical, fully-functional elements. 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
