Warranty Information

Warranty covers manufacturing and material defects; it does not cover damage from improper storage, installation, or operation.

General Operation Guidelines

This manual covers the operation of ABB high voltage process performance motors. Key aspects include:

  • Safety First: Always adhere to safety instructions, ensuring machines are de-energized and isolated before maintenance.
  • Intended Use: Machines are for industrial/commercial use. Outdoor use requires specific protection (IP23 minimum). Observe ambient temperature and altitude limits.
  • Transport & Storage: Handle with care, report damages, and store in dry, dust-free environments. Check insulation resistance before commissioning.
  • Installation: Ensure stable mounting, proper alignment, and avoid resonances.
  • Electrical Connection: Must be performed by skilled personnel. Ensure proper earthing and equipotential bonding.
  • Operation: Monitor vibration, temperature, and noise. Disconnect if deviations occur. Follow lubrication instructions.
  • Maintenance: Regular preventive maintenance is crucial. Follow manufacturer's operating instructions and the maintenance program.
  • Frequency Converters: Special considerations for external earthing and potential equalization apply.
  • Explosive Atmospheres: Specific instructions and standards (ATEX, IEC, EN) must be followed for Ex-rated motors.

Always refer to the rating plate and specific machine documentation for detailed information.
