1-2 General Information MN420

Receiving Each motor is thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for shipment.
When you receive your motor, there are several things you should do immediately.
Do not unpack until ready for use.
1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the commercial
carrier that delivered your motor.
2. Verify that the part number of the motor you received is the same as the part number listed on your
purchase order.
Handling The motor should be lifted using the lifting lugs or eye bolts provided.
1. Eyebolts or lifting lugs are intended for lifting only the motor with the standard factory installed accessories
such as tachometer, etc., the lifting means on the motor must not be used to lift the motor plus additional
equipment such as gears, pumps, compressors, or other driven equipment. The lifting means on the motor
cannot be used to lift assemblies of motor and other equipment mounted on a common base.
2. In all cases, care should be taken to assure lifting in the direction intended in the design of the lifting
means. Lift using all lugs provided using a hoist with adequate capacity. Place a lifting hook in each of the
lifting means provided and carefully lift the motor from its packing, see Figure 1-1.
Be sure lift or hoist equipment has appropriate tires for the terrain to avoid becoming stuck or tipping
over. If the shipping pallet is intact, use a fork lift to move the motor. If the shipping pallet is not used, lift
using all lugs provided. Likewise, precautions should be taken to prevent hazardous overloads due to
deceleration, acceleration or shock forces. Angle of lift with rope or chain never to be less than 45° from
horizontal.
Figure 1-1 Lifting Motor
Unpacking Each Baldor motor is packaged for ease of handling and to prevent entry of contaminants.
1. To avoid condensation inside the motor, do not unpack until the motor has reached room temperature.
(Room temperature is the temperature of the room in which it will be installed).
The packing provides insulation from temperature changes during transportation.
2. When the motor has reached room temperature, carefully remove the motor from packaging. Lifting
provisions are provided as eyebolts or cast lifting lugs located on top of the motor. Place a lifting hook in
each of the lifting means provided and carefully lift the motor from its packing, see Figure 1-1.
Use a hoist with adequate capacity. Use spreader bars as required to ensure that lift chains/cables do not
pull at an angle and prevent damage to lifting eyes or motor hoods.
MN420 General Information 1-3

Storage Do not unpack until ready for use. If the motor is not put into service immediately, the motor must be
stored in a clean, dry and warm location. Several precautionary steps must be performed to avoid motor
damage during storage.
Caution: Oil lubricated motors are shipped without oil. As soon as the motor is received, the bearing oil reservoir
should be filled to the indicated level with the proper lubrication oil (see Section 5 “Constant Level
Oiler”). To avoid motor damage, do not rotate the shaft until you have filled the oil reservoirs to the
proper level with recommended lubricant.
1. Oil lubricated motors − As soon as the motor has been received, the bearing oil reservoir should be filled
to the required oil level and with the proper oil lubrication. (See Section 3 Bearing Lubrication for proper
type).
2. Grease lubricated bearings − Do not lubricate bearings during storage.
Duty Master anti−friction bearing motors are shipped with the proper amount of grease in each bearing.
3. At 30 day intervals, remove only enough packing to expose the shaft and remove the shaft shipping brace,
rotate the shaft (by hand) 10 to 15 revolutions. This distributes the grease, preventing bearing corrosion
due to condensation, or to the presence of contaminating gases near the motor. After rotating the shaft
replace protective packing and shaft shipping brace.
4. If the storage location is cold, damp or humid, the motor windings must be protected from moisture.
This can be done by applying power to the motors’ space heater (if available) while the motor is in storage.
If space heaters are not installed, the motor can be kept warm by placing several 100 or 150 watt electric
lamps inside the enclosure and connect them to a power source.
5. For grease lubricated bearings, if the motor is stored and directly exposed to weather conditions, it is
important that the bearing cavity be inspected for the presence of water at the grease drain. If the cavity
is contaminated with water, the motor must be disassembled, grease removed from the bearing(s) and
housing(s) and bearing(s) inspected for corrosion. If corrosion is present, the bearing(s) must be replaced.
If there is no corrosion, repack the bearing(s) / housing(s) with grease as instructed in Section 3.
6. Duty Master motors with oil lubricated sleeve bearings are tested using an oil containing a rust inhibitor.
This additive protects the bearings and associated structural parts from rust and corrosion. Prior to
shipment the oil is drained. A thin film of oil remains on the vital parts providing short term temporary rust
protection.
As soon as the motor has been received, the bearing oil reservoir should be filled to the required oil level and
with the proper oil lubrication. (See Section 3 Bearing Lubrication for proper type).

Section 2
Installation & Operation
Overview Installation should conform to the National Electrical Code as well as local codes and practices. When other
devices are coupled to the motor shaft, be sure to install protective devices to prevent future accidents.
Some protective devices include, coupling, belt guard, chain guard, shaft covers etc. These protect against
accidental contact with moving parts. Machinery that is accessible to personnel should provide further
protection in the form of guard rails, screening, warning signs etc.
1. If the motor has been in storage for an extended period or had been subjected to adverse moisture
conditions, check the insulation resistance of the stator winding (see Checking Insulation Resistance in
section 3).
2. Examine the motor nameplate data to make sure it agrees with the power circuit to which it will be
connected. The motor is guaranteed to operate successfully at line frequency not more than 5%, and line
voltage not more than 10%, above or below the nameplate ratings, or a combined variation of voltage and
frequency of not more than 10% above or below nameplate ratings. Efficiency, power factor and current
may vary from nameplate data.
3. Check to make sure that direction of motor rotation is corrected for the intended application.
Location It is important that motors be installed in locations that are compatible with motor enclosure and ambient
conditions. Improper selection of the motor enclosure and ambient conditions can lead to reduced operating
life of the motor. The motor must be located in an environment that satisfies local codes. For locations outside
the USA., compliance with IEC requirements and other regulatory agencies are required. The following
additional considerations should also govern its location:
For open and protected motors the installation should be in a location that provides adequate space for air
circulation of the external cooling fan. Exposure to high ambient temperatures, humidity and atmospheric
contamination should be avoided. Acids, alkalis and gases also have detrimental effects on electrical
machinery. The location of installation should be accessible for routine maintenance and inspection.
If the room is not large enough to have natural ventilation, some external source of forced and filtered air will
be necessary. The room should be such that the heat developed during operation can escape and will not be
recirculated over the equipment.
Permanent handling equipment to facilitate major service and repair without complete disassembly of the
individual units should be considered.
If the motor must be moved or additional handling or shipment of motor be required, be certain to block the
shaft as it was blocked for shipment by the factory. Blocking the shaft, limits the rotor movement both axially
and radially which prevents damage to the bearings.
Hazardous Locations are those where there is a risk of ignition or explosion due to the presence of
combustible gases, vapors, dust, fibers, or flyings. Facilities requiring special equipment for hazardous
locations are typically classified in accordance with local requirements. In the US market, guidance is provided
by the National Electric Code.
EMC Compliance Statement for European Union
The motors described in this instruction manual are designed to comply 2004/108/EC . These motors are
commercial in design and not intended for residential use.
Foundation The dimensions for mounting are shown on the outline drawing supplied with the motor software and should
be referred to prior to planning of the foundation.
Large motors require a concrete foundation. The foundation should consist preferably of solid concrete walls
or piers and should be carried down far enough to rest on a solid sub base. This base should be sufficient
stiffness to prevent vibration and to insure long, trouble free operation. If necessary, a consulting engineer, who
is familiar with foundation design, should design and supervise its construction.
If the foundation is to be steel girders instead of concrete, the girders should be well braced and supported by
adequate columns to prevent vibration due to resonance. The natural frequencies of the motor and supporting
structure must be at least 20% away from the speed of rotation and twice the speed of rotation and multiples
of the power line frequency.
The size of the foundation is determined by the weight, size and speed of the equipment and by the type and
condition of the underlying soil. The width and length of the foundation are usually made to extend at least
6 inches (150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides of the base. Increased width and weight are necessary
for operation at higher speeds and for foundations that project above the floor level to give stability against
rocking and resonant vibration.
Large motors are not rigid or self supporting, and should be uniformly supported. Therefore, when set on the
foundation or base, adequate support should be provided by leveling plates and shims between the frame and
the foundation, at points of loading; Le., under the frame feet, and intersection points of the beams as well as
under long, unsupported sections of the base. The number of shims should be kept to a minimum. A few thick
ones are preferred over many thin ones.
MN420 Installation & Operation 2-1

A 1 inch (25mm) space should be allowed between the base and foundation for grouting. The concrete surface
should be roughed to provide a good bonding surface. The lateral clearance for positioning the base can be
made by providing a space around the hold down bolts, that are secured head down to an anchoring washer,
Figure 2-1. A sleeve may be used to form the hole when poring the foundation around the bolt for the length
between the anchoring washer and the top surface of the concrete foundation.
The size and depth of the hole will depend upon the size of the motor and accuracy of the hole location.
A template can be used to locate the hold down bolts. The bolts can be locked in place later, by filling the
clearance hole with grout.

Pre Installation Checks The assurance of successful start−up depends upon the use of good handling,
inspection, and installation practices.
Before shipment, every motor is given a running test to check operation. Although complete factory tests have
been made, motors should be checked for any change resulting from improper handling during shipment,
storage, installation or by an unsatisfactory foundation. Failure to check or do the necessary work as
mentioned above, could cause misalignment resulting in vibration and premature bearing failure. Before the
motor is checked for alignment, remove all shipping blocks and supports installed at the factory. The shaft
should turn over freely. The degree of accuracy required in the alignment depends on the rated speed of the
machine. The greater the speed, the greater the care and accuracy necessary in the alignment.
The motor must be level to maintain the proper oil level. Check the driven equipment to make sure that the
motor will be coupled to a level shaft. If necessary, level it up before coupling.
Doweling & Bolting After proper alignment is verified, dowel pins should be inserted through the motor feet into
the foundation. This will maintain the correct motor position should motor removal be required. (Baldor motors
are designed for doweling.)
1. Drill dowel holes in diagonally opposite motor feet in the locations provided.
2. Drill corresponding holes in the foundation.
3. Ream all holes.
4. Install proper fitting dowels.
5. Mounting bolts must be carefully tightened to prevent changes in alignment. Use a flat washer and lock
washer under each nut or bolt head to hold the motor feet secure. Flanged nuts or bolts may be used as
an alternative to washers.
Soft foot is a condition in which one or more of the motor feet do not rest squarely on the base. This condition
causes distortion of the motor frame once the mounting bolts are tightened and can lead to elevated vibration
levels. Prior to alignment, the following procedure should be followed to minimize the effects of soft foot.
a. With the motor mounted on the base use a dial indicator to measure the soft foot deflection at each
mounting location.
b. With all feet firmly torqued to 120 ft−lbs loosen and tighten each foot measuring the total foot
deflection. The total foot deflection should not exceed 2.00 mils.
c. If the foot deflection exceeds 2.00 mils shim foot as necessary to reduce deflection”.
6. Tighten all motor mounting bolts to the identical recommended initial torque value.
7. Place a dial indicator to read vertical displacement on the top of a motor foot.
8. Loosen the mounting bolt in that foot and record the amount of deflection shown by the dial indicator.
9. Foot deflection should be limited to 0.001”−0.002”. If deflection exceeds this level, proceed to step
10. If it does not, proceed to step 11.
10. Place an amount of shims that corresponds to the measured deflection under the foot.
11. Retighten the bolt and repeat the procedure on the remaining motor feet.
2-2 Installation & Operation MN420

Coupling
1. In preparation for making the coupling alignment, wash off the rust protective slushing compound on
the motor shaft and factory installed couplings with solvent. On sleeve bearing motors. remove the rust
preventative from the shaft to expose the magnetic center and rotor float scribe lines.
Fill oil sumps with proper oil to the proper level.
2. The couplings should be heated for proper mounting. Do not press or drive it onto the shaft.
The shaft extension key length should be sized per Figure 2-2.

3. Motors supplied with sleeve bearings. The drive end shaft Extension is scribed with three lines indicating
the magnetic center line and rotor end float limits. A single scribe line, magnetic center only is used in
cases where the float extreme scribe lines would interfere with a shaft shoulder or extension keyway.
The magnetic center scribe line is filled with light colored paint and covered with masking tape prior to
coating with rust protection. The distance from the magnetic center scribe line to the reference surface is
indicated on a name plate attached to the motor frame. The magnetic center is within +0.06 in.
(+1.5 mm) of the rotor float mechanical center. Rotor end float is 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) minimum. Sleeve
bearing motors are not designed to withstand external axial thrust. A limited axial float coupling should be
used. Total end float of the coupling should not exceed 0.19 inch (4.8 mm) (+.09 inch. +2.3 mm).
The motor axial placement should be established by locating the shaft on its magnetic center and spaced
from the driven equipment as recommended by the coupling manufacturer.
4. After the motor is properly positioned for axial end play and with the hold down bolts snug but not
tightened prepare for the coupling alignment. Mount the coupling hubs, but do not engage the coupling.
Coupling Alignment
There are a number of procedures to properly align the motor to the driven equipment. The end result depends
upon the accuracy of the parts in roundness, flatness, runout of the reference surfaces, rigidity of the mounting
and the skill of the setup man. The motor base surfaces must be flat and parallel to the shafts. Make allowance
for inserting shims under the motor to make the elevation adjustment.
The shims size should be the full length of the motor foot pad, they should be flat, and free from burrs. Insert
the shims carefully to maintain the foot plane and to avoid bending or twisting the motor frame. For a poor
mounting surface, it may be necessary to machine a shim to compensate for the slope or surface irregularity.
To minimize soft stacking, use the thickest shim stock combination with the fewest shims.
A preliminary line up can be made with feeler gauge by measuring at top, bottom and sides between faces of
the hubs. Angular alignment is satisfactory when there is no more than .002 in. (0.05 mm) difference between
all sides of the hubs. Parallel alignment check can be made with a straight edge, or dial indicator, to determine
if both hubs are parallel within 0.002 in. (0.05 mm). During shimming use shims that are as thick as possible to
avoid a sponginess of an excessive number of layers.
Coupling Alignment Procedure
For more accurate alignment, refer to the manual for the driven equipment. When alignment is complete,
tighten the motor and driven equipment hold down bolts and recheck alignment. The feet must be tightened
uniformly. Ensure the feet are on the same plane by measuring the feet spring back when a bolt is loosened. It
should not exceed 0.002 inch (0.050 mm) at any foot as the others remain tight. Repeat with two adjacent bolts
loose. The shaft spring back should not exceed 0.001 inch (0.025 mm).
In some cases it may be necessary to make a hot alignment check to compensate for thermal expansion. A
compensating offset alignment should be made cold. The unit may run rough until the equipment temperatures
stabilize. If for any reason alignment does not fall within limits, contact your local Baldor District Office.

Grouting Grout should be used, but should not be applied until all alignment and leveling have been completed, and the
set is running satisfactorily – from the bearing noise, temperature and vibration standpoint – after the 4 hour
run in test. A good quality commercial non shrinking type of grouting compound should be used. A cement/
sand ratio of 1:1 is recommended. Grout should be used with a minimum quantity of water to give a stiff mix.
The roughened concrete surface should be washed to remove the dust and loose particles. Grouting should
be applied to a wet surface but to assure a good bond, there must be no puddles of water or contamination
from oil or grease. Prepare only the amount that can be handled within set time and without adding water to
the original mix. The grouting should be done quickly and continuously. Tamp in place and vent the pockets to
assure a solid casting, it is suggested that the motor remain idle while the grout is hardening. At least 48 hours
curing timed is desirable for that grout to develop adequate strength before operating this set, or any nearby
large equipment which could create a vibration.
Lubrication The lubrication system should be checked in preparation for rotating the shaft during the alignment operation.
Anti Friction Bearings (Grease Lubricated)
Bearing chambers are packed with grease during assembly, and do not normally need additional grease at
time of installation, unless the unit has been in storage and installation for 6 months or longer. Lubricant must
be added per Section 3, Maintenance.
Sleeve Bearing (Oil Lubricated)
Caution: Oil lubricated motors are shipped without oil. As soon as the motor is received, the bearing oil reservoir
should be filled to the indicated level with the proper lubrication oil (see Section 4 “Oil Rite Oiler”). To
avoid motor damage, do not rotate the shaft until you have filled the oil reservoirs to the proper level
with recommended lubricant.
Lubricating oils for sleeve bearing motors should be selected as follows:

1. Viscosity in SUS (centistokes) at 100 ºF. (37.8 ºC):
Table 2-1
Ambient Temperature Range** Speed
1200 RPM or Less Over 1200 RPM
0 º to 120 ºF* (–18 ºC to 50 ºC*) 300 (68 cSt) 150 SUS (32 cSt)
–20 º to 50 ºF (–30 ºC to 10 ºC) 150 (32 cSt) 90 SUS (18 cSt)
* For higher temperatures, oil coolers should be used.
** For lower temperatures, heaters should be used to assure adequately high starting temperature.
2. Pour Point: Below minimum starting temperature.
Caution: For motors equipped with circulating oil pump and adjustable needle valve, valve must be adjusted or
flooding of oil sump may occur. Disconnect valve and adjust flow rate for 0.10 GPM flow (or as specified
on data sheet).
3. Quality: Use a good grade of turbine type oil with rust, foam and oxidation inhibitors. Avoid automotive
oils or additives other than those specifically recommended by the oil manufacturer. To fill sleeve bearing
motor oil reservoirs on motors not equipped with constant level oilers, be sure that drain plugs are in
place and secure and fill through filler cap until oil level shows at top line marked on oil gauge. Oil level
must never be below bottom line marked on oil gauge. For motors with constant level oilers, refer to the
instructions. See Accessories Section 4.
Electrical Connection
WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you
ensure that all grounding instructions have been followed. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal
injury. National Electrical Code and Local codes must be carefully followed.
The user must select a motor starter and overcurrent protection suitable for this motor and its application.
Consult motor starter application data as well as the National Electric Code and/or other applicable local
codes.
A conduit box may be provided for the power lines to the stator and other conduit boxes for all other electrical
connections. Tapped holes are provided for grounding.

Grounding Failure to properly ground the motor may cause electrical shock hazard to personnel. Do not attach ground
lead to motor foot bolt. In the USA consult the National Electrical Code, Article 430 for information on
grounding of motors and generators, and Article 250 for general information on grounding. In making the
ground connection, the installer should make certain that there is a solid and permanent metallic connection
between the ground point, the motor or generator terminal housing, and the motor or generator frame. In non−
USA locations consult the appropriate national or local code applicable.
All large motors should be grounded with the grounding conductor equipped with a brazed copper terminal,
or with a suitable solderless terminal fastened to the motor. Soldered terminals should not be used. A washer
should be used between bolt head and terminal lug. The other end should be fastened with suitable clamps
or terminals to rigid metallic conduit or to the nearest available ground. Ground conductor size should be in
accordance with the following National Electrical Code Table 250−122. Installation restrictions are listed in
Section 250−120.

Caution: The space heaters are designed to operate at or below the maximum surface temperature stated on the
nameplate. If the marked ambient and/or voltage are exceeded this maximum surface temperature can
be exceeded and can damage the motor windings. If applied in a division 2 or zone 2 environment this
excessive temperature may cause ignition of hazardous materials.
WARNING: This equipment is at line voltage when AC power is connected. Disconnect and lockout all ungrounded
conductors of the ac power line before proceeding. Failure to observe these precautions could result in
severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Pre−Operation Check
Be sure that all power to motor and accessories is off. Be sure the motor shaft is disconnected from the load
and will not cause mechanical rotation of the motor shaft.
1. Verify that Hold Down bolts are tightened to the proper torque.
2. If the motor has been idle for a long period of time after installation, check insulation resistance.
3. Check the incoming power to be sure that line voltage, frequency and phase are correct for the motor
(refer to the motor nameplate).
4. Inspect all electrical connections for proper termination, clearance, mechanical strength and electrical
continuity.
5. Be sure all shipping materials and braces (if used) are removed from motor shaft.
6. Ensure alignment is correct and motor is properly lubricated.
a. On machines supplied with oil lubricated bearings inspect lubrication system to insure that oil
reservoirs have been filled to the proper level with correct oil. Do not overfill oil reservoirs.
b. Motors operating with a forced lubrication system must have the forced lubrication system operating
before starting the motor.
7. Manually rotate the motor shaft to ensure that it rotates freely.
Caution: When driven equipment may be damaged by incorrect rotation direction, uncouple the motor from the
load and check motor rotation direction during initial start and be sure rotation is correct.
8. When the driven machine is likely to be damaged by the wrong direction of rotation, it is best to uncouple
the motor from its load during the check for rotation and/or during the initial start.
Some motors are designed for a single direction of rotation as indicated by nameplates. Running those
units in the wrong direction will reduce airflow causing overheating. Check to see that both the motor and
driven equipment are operating in the correct direction of rotation. If it is necessary to change rotation,
disconnect and lockout all input power and interchange any two input power phases.
9. Replace all panels and covers.
10. Check to see that coupling guards and other protective enclosures are not blocking the ventilating air into
the motor and exhaust openings.

First Time Uncoupled Start−Up
Read each of the steps in the following procedure over thoroughly, so that each is fully understood, before
attempting to start the motor.
1. Make the initial start by following the regular sequence of starting operations in the control instructions.
2. After starting, check that the motor is running smoothly. If the motor has excessive vibration, shut down
immediately and investigate. Check for coupling and key unbalance, rusty bearing, lack of lubrication, foot
planarity, structural resonance.
3. Check bearing temperatures frequently. Bearing temperature should not exceed 185 ºF (85 ºC).
Likewise the rate of temperature rise should not be excessive. At initial start, the bearing temperature
rate−of−rise is more indicative of trouble than overall temperature for a minimum of two hours, if at any
time the rate of rise curve appears too steep, stop the motor immediately and re−check its alignment.
4. Ensure that the protective controls are functioning properly before any prolonged operation.
5. Run the motor for at least two hours.
Coupled Start−up
This procedure assumes a coupled start up. Also, that the first time start up procedure was successful. Read
and fully understand each of the steps in the following procedure before attempting to start the motor.
1. Disconnect and lockout the power source. Ensure no power is applied to the motor.
2. After a successful uncoupled start, assemble the coupling and lubricate with the manufacturer’s
recommended lubricant. Check to see that the coupling is not binding.
3. Verify the motor shaft is on its magnetic center.
4. Verify coupling axial movement is within the bearing float limit.
5. Check to see that coupling guards and other protective enclosures are not blocking the ventilating air over
the motor and exhaust openings.
6. Try no load coupled start−up, repeating steps 1 to 5 of the “First Time Uncoupled Start−up” procedure.
7. Verify the driven equipment is not transmitting vibration back to the motor through the coupling or base.
8. Inspect the motor carefully. Make the initial start by following the regular sequence of starting perations in
the control instructions.
9. After starting, check that the motor is running smoothly. If the motor shows excessive vibration, shut down
immediately and investigate. Check for coupling and key unbalance, lack of lubrication, foot planarity and
structural resonance.
10. Check vibration at the bearing housing. Motor vibration must not exceed the limits given in Table 2−3.
Vibration severity and conversion of the above limits to velocity or acceleration can be determined by
using the vibration nomograph in Figure 2-3. Nomograph shows accepted industry vibration levels.
11. Verify all panels and covers are securely in place.
12. Verify that coupling guards are properly installed and protective enclosures are not blocking the ventilating
air into the motor and exhaust openings.
13. In addition, observe the following before attempted start−up of Belted, C−Face/D Flange and Sleeve
bearing motors:
a. For belted duty, ensure motor is intended for belted service and that the belted application data has
been verified. Also be aware that some belted duty motors are built with bearings that are not suited
for non−belted applications.
b. Due to their size, above NEMA C−Face and D−Flange motors are supplied with mounting feet and are
not designed to be supported by the C−Face or D−Flange alone.
c. Sleeve bearing motors are intended for horizontal mounting only. Contact your local Baldor District
Office for any questions concerning this installation before power is applied to the motor.
Jogging and Repeated Starts
Caution: Repeated starts and/or jogs can greatly reduce the life of an induction motor.
Repeated starts and/or jogs can greatly reduce the life of an induction motor. If it is necessary to repeatedly
start or jog a motor, check the application with your local Baldor District office.
At ambient temperature, the motor is normally capable of making two starts in succession and coasting to
rest between starts. The motor is also capable of making one start at its rated load operation temperature. For
cooling time required before additional starts can be made consult your local Baldor District office or the motor
starting nameplate if one is provided.

If more starts than defined above are attempted in shorter period of time, severe damage to the motor
electrical windings and rotor may result. The starting conditions listed above apply only if the inertia of the
connected load, the load torque during acceleration, the applied voltage, and the starting method are those for
which the motor was designed. For starting situations not covered here, consult your local Baldor District office
before proceeding.
Refer also to the motor nameplate which may list starting conditions.

Hazardous Locations
Hazardous locations are those where there is a risk of ignition or explosion due to the presence of combustible
gases, vapors, dust, fibers or flyings.
Selection Facilities requiring special equipment for hazardous locations are typically classified in accordance with
local requirements. In the US market, guidance is provided by the National Electric Code. In international
hazardous location areas, guidance for gas / vapor / mist classification is given in IEC60079−14, or for dust in
IEC61241−14. This classification process lets the installer know what equipment is suitable for installation in
that environment, and identifies what the maximum safe temperature or temperature class is required. It is the
customer or users responsibility to determine the area classification and select proper equipment.
Areas are classified with respect to risk and exposure to the hazard. In the US market, areas are typically
classified as follows Class, Division, Group and Temperature Class. In some newer installations in the US and
in most international markets, areas are classified in Zones.
Protection Concepts
Class I Division 1 / Zone 1 [Equipment Group I (mining) or II (surface), Equipment Protection Level
(EPL) Gb, Mb ]
Baldor offers a range of motors suitable for installation in a Division 1 or Zone 1 environment.
These motors are known as explosion proof or flameproof.
Motors that are explosion proof or flameproof use specially machined flameproof joints between the end bell
or bracket and the frame, as well as along the rotating shaft and at connection box covers and entries. The
fit of these flameproof joints are designed to contain the combustion or quench the flame of an explosive gas
atmosphere prior to it exiting the motor. These flameproof joints have• lengths and widths selected and tested
based on the gas group present in the atmosphere. Baldor Reliance motors are typically designed to meet
Class I (Division 1) Group C and D (explosion proof) or Ex d IIB (flameproof).
An application note regarding equipment applied in accordance with the US National Electric Code (NFPA
70−2008) − according to Article 500.8(C) Marking, sub clause (2) in the fine print note, it is noted that
Equipment not marked to indicate a division is suitable for both Division 1 and Division 2 locations. These
motors are not gas tight. To the contrary, this protection concept assumes that due to the normal heating
and cooling cycle of motor operation that any gas present will be drawn into the motor. Since flameproof or
explosion proof motors are designed to contain the combustion and extinguish any flame transmission, for
this protection concept, only external surface temperatures are of concern. Thermal limiting devices such as
thermostats, thermistors or RTDs may be provided on these motors to limit the external surface temperature
during overload conditions.
If thermostats are provided as a condition of certification, it is the installer’s responsibility to make sure that
these devices are properly connected to a suitable switching device. The ATEX directive requires that motor
shutdown on thermal trip be accomplished without an intermediate software command. Where intermediate
circuitry is involved the circuit shall fall within the scope of a safety, controlling and regulating device as defined
in article 1(2) of European Directive 94/9/EC, and shall be covered by an appropriate EC Type Examination
Certificate.
Flameproof motors, internationally referred to as Ex d use a protection concept similar to that used in Class
I Division 1 motors, with minor differences in the flameproof joints and cable entry designs. Flameproof and
explosion proof motors are both type tested. Representative motors are connected to a reference gas and
ignited in laboratory conditions to verify that the flame is not transmitted outside the motor enclosure and to
determine the maximum internal pressure encountered.
Explosion proof and Flame proof motors shipped without a conduit box require use of a certified box of
suitable dimensions and that is appropriate for the classification. Openings in connection boxes must be
closed with suitably certified and dimensioned device.
Class I Division 2 / Zone 2 Ex nA, [Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Gc ]
This protection concept relies on having no sources of ignition present such as arcing parts or hot surfaces.
For this protection concept, internal temperatures as well as external temperatures are considered. In many
cases, the internal temperatures are higher than the external temperatures and therefore become the limiting
factor in determination of temperature code designation. In these applications, it is very important to use a
motor that has been evaluated thermally for use with an inverter or converter, if variable speed operation is
desired. Thermostats used for Class I Division 2 and Ex nA motors are used to protect the motor only. For
motors using flying lead construction, it is important to use connection lugs and insulate with heat shrink
tubing or a double wrap of insulation grade electrical tape to avoid the risk of spark or ignition.
Class II Division 1 / Zone 21 [Equipment Group III, Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Db ]
This area classification is one where the risk of ignitable concentrations of dust is present at all or some of the
time. The protection concepts used for Class II Division 1 is similar to flamepath, except with additional dust
exclusion paths designed for the rotating shaft. In the international designations, this concept is referred to as
dust ignition proof or Ex tD.

External surface temperature remains the limiting factor. Thermal limiting devices such as thermostats,
thermistors or RTDs may be provided on these motors to limit the external surface temperature during overload
conditions. If thermostats are provided as a condition of certification, it is the installer’s responsibility to make
sure that these devices are properly connected to a suitable switching device.
Note: In the North American area classification system, Class III exists for fibers and flyings.
In the IEC designation, both dusts and flyings are absorbed into Group III.
Class II Division 2 / Zone 22 [Equipment Group III, Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Dc ]
This area classification is one where the risk of exposure to ignitable concentrations of dust are not likely
to occur under normal operating conditions and relies heavily on the housekeeping practices within the
installation.
Sine Wave Power Operation for Division 1 or 2 and Zone 1 or 2 and Zone 21 or 22 Hazardous Location.
These motors are designed to operate at or below the maximum surface temperature (or T−Code) stated
on the nameplate. Failure to operate the motor properly can cause this maximum surface temperature to
be exceeded. If applied in a Division 1 or 2 / Zone 1 or 2 and Zone 21 or 22 environment, this excessive
temperature may cause ignition of hazardous materials. Operating the motor at any of the following
conditions can cause the marked surface temperature to be exceeded.
1. Motor load exceeding service factor nameplate value
2. Ambient temperatures above nameplate value
3. Voltages above or below nameplate value
4. Unbalanced voltages
5. Loss of proper ventilation
6. Altitude above 3300 feet / 1000 meters
7. Severe duty cycles of repeated starts
8. Motor stall
9. Motor reversing
10. Single phase operation of polyphase equipment
11. Variable frequency operation
Variable Frequency Power Operation for Division 1 or 2 and Zone 1 or 2 and Zone 21 or 22
Hazardous Location (motors with maximum surface temperature listed on the nameplate).
Only motors with nameplates marked for use on inverter (variable frequency) power, and labeled for specific
hazardous areas may be used in those hazardous areas on inverter power. The motor is designed to operate
at or below the maximum surface temperature (or T−Code) stated on the nameplate.
Failure to operate the motor properly can cause this maximum surface temperature to be exceeded.
If applied in a Division 1 or 2 / Zone 1 or 2 and Zone 21 or 22 environment, this excessive temperature may
cause ignition of hazardous materials. Operating the motor at any of the following conditions can cause the
marked surface temperature to be exceeded.
1. Motor load exceeding service factor nameplate value
2. Ambient temperature above nameplate value
3. Voltage (at each operating frequency) above or below rated nameplate value
4. Unbalanced voltages
5. Loss of proper ventilation
6. Operation outside of the nameplate speed / frequency range
7. Altitudes above 3300 feet / 1000 meters
8. Single phase operation of polyphase equipment
9. Unstable current wave forms
10. Lower than name plate minimum carrier frequency
Thermal Limiting
Thermal limiting devices are temperature sensing control components installed inside the motor to limit
the internal temperature of the motor frame by interrupting the circuit of the holding coil of the magnetic
switch or contactor. They are required for most Division 1 and Zone 1 applications. For Division 2 or Zone
2 applications, motors should be selected that preclude running temperatures from exceeding the ignition
temperatures for the designated hazardous material.

In Division 2 or Zone 2 classified locations, thermal limiting devices should only be used for winding protection
and not considered for limiting all internal motor temperatures to specific ignition temperatures.
Equipotential Bonding and Shaft Current Reduction
Larger motors (ie WP construction) may require proper bonding between motor enclosures and covers to
avoid the risk of stray currents during start up. Fastening methods and bonding straps must not be modified.
Bearing currents can exist in some motors for both line−fed and inverter−fed applications. Larger line−fed
motors may require at least one insulated bearing to prevent a flow of current through the bearings. Do not
defeat such insulation whether the motor is line−fed or inverter−fed applications. Inverter−fed motors may
require additional bearing insulation or even a shaft brush. Do not defeat such features. When the motor and
the coupled load are not on a common conductive baseplate, it may also be necessary to electrically bond
together the stationary parts of the motor and the coupled equipment.
Repair of Motors used in Hazardous Locations
Repair of hazardous certified motors requires additional information, skill, and care. It is the customer’s
responsibility to select service shops with proper qualifications to repair hazardous location motors. Contact
the manufacture for additional repair details. Use only original manufacturer’s parts.
Repair of Explosion Proof or Flame Proof Motors Class I Division 1 and Zone 1
In the North American market, recertification programs are offered by Underwriters Laboratories and Canadian
Standards Association which allow authorized service shops to mark the rebuilt motors as certified. In the
international markets using IEC based requirements, repair should be undertaken only after consulting
IEC60079−19 Explosive Atmospheres−Part 19 Equipment repair, overhaul and reclamation. If use of a certified
repair facility is desired, consult the IECEX Repair Scheme at http://www.iecex.com/service_facilities.htm
Explosion proof and flameproof motors achieve their safety based on the mechanical construction −
flameproof joints and bearing clearance, and the electrical design including any thermal limiting devices. If it
is necessary to repair a flameproof or explosion proof motor, it is critical that the mechanical flameproof joints
b•e maintained. Consult Baldor Electric Company for flameproof joint construction details. Use only Baldor
Reliance supplied parts. Baldor does not recommend reclamation of parts. Since this protection method also
relies on temperature being maintained, make sure that any rewinding uses the original electrical designs,
including any thermal protection that may be present.
Repair of Dust Ignition Proof Motors − Class II Division 1 and 2, Zone 21 and 22.
For Dust Ignition Proof, proper sealing is required. Do not modify the motor construction to add any additional
opening, and ensure that proper sealing is maintained in the connection box and at the shaft seal. Since this
protection method also relies on temperature being maintained, make sure that any rewinding uses the original
electrical designs, including any thermal protection that may be present
Repair of Class I Division 2 and Zone 2 motors
For Division 2 and Zone 2, the internal and external temperatures are of concern. Since this protection method
also relies on temperature being maintained, make sure that any rewinding uses the original electrical designs,
including any thermal protection that may be present. Use only Baldor replacement thermostats, if provided.

Section 3
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
WARNING: High Voltage may be present even when the machine is not rotating. Ensure that power has been
disconnected before touching the motor or any of its components. Electrical shock can cause serious
or fatal injury.
Caution: Do not use solvents containing trichloroethane to clean interior or exterior of motor. Damage may occur
to paint and insulation systems.
For Vertical Shaft Motors, refer to Section 5 for Maintenance procedures and intervals.
Horizontal Shaft Motors
There are two inspection periods which are important to the proper operation and maintenance of your Baldor
motor.
These occur every 3 months (or 500 operating hours – which ever comes first) and every six months,
respectively, in addition, the following should always be observed.
• Provide adequate ventilation.
• Keep air and exhaust openings clean and free of obstructions.
• Avoid sharp blows and excessive axial thrust loads on the output shaft.
Maintain proper lubricant level (check weekly on oil lubricated units).
Duty Master Large AC Motors when properly applied, are very easy to maintain. Since clearances and fits
are precisely machined, there are no periodic mechanical adjustments to make. Like any precision machine,
periodic inspection and simple routine maintenance will prolong your motor’s life and help locate potentially
damaging conditions before they become problems. The minimal time spent performing these simple
procedures cannot begin to compare with the cost of lost productivity and time consuming major repairs
incurred through neglect of routine inspection and maintenance.
Periodic Inspection
Inspections are important to the proper operation and maintenance of a motor.
3 months (or 500 operating hours whichever comes first).
1. Listen for any abnormal noises and check cause immediately.
2. Check for any vibration and check cause immediately if excessive vibration is found.
3. Check voltage and frequency variations. Unbalanced voltage or single phase operation of poly phase
motors will cause excessive heating and ultimately failure. Only a slight unbalance of voltage applied to a
poly phase motor will cause large unbalance currents and result in overheating.
4. Check power supply total harmonic distortion to avoid overheating.
5. Periodic checks of phase, voltage, frequency, and power consumption of an operating motor are
recommended. These checks can also provide an excellent indication of the load from the driven
equipment. Comparisons of this data with previous no load and full load power demands will give an
indication of the performance of the driven machine.
6. Check to see that air filters, when used, are in place and clean.
7. Check all air passages and ensure that they are not blocked or clogged.
8. Check for proper lubrication. For sleeve bearing motors check oil level. The oil level must be at the
midpoint of sight gauge when the motor is at rest and in operation.
9. When provided, check that constant level oilers have oil in them.
Check that cap on oiler is screwed on tightly. Make sure the oil is clean.
10. Check bearing temperature rise.
12. Check all electrical connectors to be sure that they are tight and corrosion free.
13. Check for frayed interconnecting wires, especially at points where it contacts the motor frame.
14. Verify that all covers and guards are in place and fasteners are properly torqued.
These checks can also provide an excellent indication of the load from the driven equipment.
Semi−Annual Maintenance
1. Inspect and clean rotor ends, windings and fan blades (Open Motors only).
2. Check electrical connections for tightness and absence of corrosion.
MN420 Maintenance & Troubleshooting 3-1

Bearing Lubrication
Depending on the application and rating, the horizontal motor is equipped with either anti-friction or roller
bearings. When properly cared for (ie., inspection and lubrication) bearings will provide years of uninterrupted
service. Use one of the following lubrication procedures, depending on the type of bearings with which your
motor is equipped.
This motor has been properly lubricated at the time of manufacture and it is not necessary to lubricate at
time of installation. When the motor has been in storage for a period of six months or more, lubricate before
starting.
Lubrication of bearings should be done as a part of a planned maintenance schedule.
The Recommended Lubrication Interval should be used as a guide to establish this schedule.
Cleanliness is important in lubrication. Any grease used to lubricate bearings should be fresh and free from
contamination. Similarly, care should be taken to properly clean the grease inlet area of the motor to prevent
grease contamination.
The relubrication periods shown in Table 3-3 are offered as a guide for different speeds, bearing types,
operating time and service conditions (Table 3-2).
Recommended Lubricant
Refer to motor nameplate for recommended lubricant. If none is shown, the recommended lubricant for anti-
friction bearings is POLYREX EM and for roller bearings is Mobile SCH-220.
Table 3-1 is a list of alternate lubricants.
Table 3-1 Lubricant Selection

Use only clean, fresh grease from clean containers.
Do not mix greases unless compatibility has been checked and verified.
Contact your Baldor District Office if you have compatibility questions.
Procedure
1. Select service conditions from Table 3-2.
2. Select lubrication frequency (Table 3-3).
3. Select recommended volume fill from Table 3-4.
Table 3-2 Service Conditions
Standard Conditions Eight hours per day, normal or light loading, clean ambient air at
40 °C (100°F) maximum
Severe Conditions Twenty four hours per day operation or shock loading, vibration, ambient air containing dirt or dust

Lubrication Procedure
Anti−friction bearings may be lubricated with the motor running or stationary.
(Stationary with the motor warm is recommended.)
1. Relubrication with the shaft stationary and a warm motor is recommended. If lubrication must be done
with motor running, stay clear of rotating parts and electrical circuits.
2. Locate the grease inlet, clean the area and replace the pipe plug with a grease fitting, if the motor is not
equipped with grease fittings.
3. Remove relief plug. If grease is caked around the plug, clean with a wooden stick or suitable tool, if severe
caking appears at the plug, run the motor until the bearing housing is warm, permitting a free flow of
grease through the housing.
4. Locate the motor nameplate. Find the lubricant recommended type and volume.
(Table 3-3 is for reference only, Nameplate values should always be used).
5. Add the recommended volume of the recommended lubricant using a hand operated grease gun.
6. Run the motor for 1/2 hour with relief plug removed.
7. Replace the pipe plugs and wipe off excess grease.
Replacement Bearings
Your maintenance program will not be complete without including spare bearings. Remember that the bearing
is a wearable component and therefore must eventually be replaced. To ensure that you are able to maintain
original operation we recommend the purchase of spares directly from Baldor.
All bearings used in Baldor•Reliance motors are subject to exact specifications.
Markings on the bearing do not indicate complete specifications.
Anti−Friction Bearing (Oil Mist Lubricated)
The following applies to anti−friction bearing motors built with provisions for oil mist lubrication. At the time
of shipment, the bearings are packed with a minimal amount of corrosion inhibiting grease. This protects the
bearings during temporary storage. However, if extended storage (greater than 3 months) or outdoor storage
is anticipated, the units should be connected to the oil mist system while in storage.
If this is not possible, an amount of grease indicated under standard conditions in the grease chart (Table 3-2)
should be added, and the shaft should be rotated several times by hand. (See extended storage instructions in
appropriate motor instruction manual.)
This grease will require removal and all lubrication channels must be cleaned at the time of connection to the
oil mist system.
Oil Mist Installation
1. Remove all grease from bearings and clean all lubrication channels. This step is necessary on motors
that are labeled “Provisions for oil mist lubrication” or motors built for ”oil mist lubrication”, but filled with
grease by user. This step is not required on motors built ”For oil mist lubrication” as supplied by factory.
2. Remove inlet and outlet pipe plugs from bearing brackets (or extension tubes) on each end of motor.
3. Install appropriate reclassifier (Tables 3-4, 3-5 and 3-6) in top opening.
4. Connect oil recovery trap to bottom opening or leave open to act as relief.
Tables 3-4, 3-5 and 3-6 should be used to select the appropriate reclassifier based on the motor frame size
and speed. Foot mounted C & D−Flange Motors as well as Vertical HP Motors use Table 3-4.
Vertical LP Motors refer to Table 3-5.

Rotor And Stator Removal Consult your local Baldor District office for proper removal procedures.
Winding Maintenance
Caution: Do not use solvents containing trichloroethane to clean interior or exterior of motor.
Damage may occur to paint and insulation systems.
2. Remove the end cover from the motor. Inspection of the winding ends and outside surfaces provides a
good indication of their general condition. To thoroughly inspect the windings, the rotor may have to be
removed.
There are numerous methods for cleanings windings. The following methods are most commonly used, in
order of preference.
Note: Before cleaning the windings check for loose blockings, evidence of damage to insulation, distortion
or movement of coils, etc. If any of these conditions exist, contact your local Baldor District office for
recommendations.
Dry Wiping This method is satisfactory when the surfaces to be cleaned are accessible and when only dry dirt is to be
removed. Use a clean dry, lint free cloth. The lint will adhere to the insulation and increase dirt collection. Lint is
particularly objectionable on high voltage insulation systems as it tends to concentrate corona discharge.
Brushing and Suction Cleaning Remove the dry dust and dirt by brushing with a bristle brush, followed by a vacuum suction
cleaning. Do Not Use Wire Brushes.
Blowing
WARNING: Use of an air jet may cause flying debris and generate particulate matter. Wear suitable skin, eye and
respiratory protection. Failure to observe this precaution may result in bodily injury.
Caution: To avoid damage to the windings do not use air pressures greater than 30 psi (200 kPa).
Avoid directing the air in such a way that the dirt will be blown into inner crevices.

Dry dirt and dust can be removed from inaccessible crevices by using a jet of low pressure compressed air.
Solvent Cleaning
WARNING: Be sure to follow all precautions and warnings stated by solvent manufacturer.
Caution: Avoid inhaling fumes.
Caution: Avoid using flammable solvents and fluids.
Caution: Do not use solvents containing trichloroethane to clean interior or exterior of motor. Damage may occur
to paint and insulation systems.
Oil, grease, tar and wax can be removed by cloth wetted with solvent, followed by wiping with a dry cloth.
Typical solvents are: Atlantic Safety Solvent, Graymills Solvent, De−Greaseall, Zep and Stoddard Solvent.
Cleaning with Water and Detergent
Windings can be cleaned by hose washing or by pressure spray from a low pressure steam generator or shop
steam line.
Reconditioning (Revarnishing) Windings
If after cleaning with solvent or water and detergent, the insulation shows signs of dryness, etc., it may be
necessary to revarnish the windings. Contact your local Baldor District Office for type and proper
method of revarnishing.
Oil, grease, tar and wax can be removed by adding a non conductive detergent to the wash water. After
washing, it is necessary to dry the windings in an oven. See Checking Insulation Resistance.
Checking Insulation Resistance
If the motor has been in storage for an extensive period or has been subjected to adverse moisture conditions,
check the insulation resistance of the stator winding with an insulation resistance meter.
The minimum insulation resistance (RM) can be determined from the following formula:
RM = KV + 1
Where
RM = Minimum insulation resistance in mega ohms at 40 ºC of the entire machine winding.
KV = Rating machine potential, in kilovolts.
For machines in good condition, insulation and resistance readings of 10 to 100 times RM are common. If the
insulation resistance is less than that calculated from the formula, the windings should be dried out as
follows:
1. Bake in an oven (preferably a circulating air oven) at a temperature not not to exceed 90 ºC until insulation
resistance remains constant. Do not exceed this temperature.
2. With the rotor locked, apply low voltage and gradually increase current through winding (do not exceed
50% full load amps) until winding temperature, measured with thermometer, reaches 90 ºC.
Do not exceed this temperature.
Auxiliary Cooling
Motors supplied with separately powered cooling fans (blowers), pipe in− pipe out flanges, or water cooling
connections require proper connection and operation of these features for proper motor cooling. Refer to
the motor nameplate{s) or other unit−specific supplied documentation regarding the proper connections,
air flow or water flow requirements. Operation of the motor without these auxiliary cooling features
engaged will result in motor overheating and premature motor failure.
Renewal Parts
A detailed parts list, which gives Baldor’s recommendations for spare parts that should be stocked for your
equipment, can be ordered from the nearest Baldor District Office.
Be sure to include complete nameplate data – purchase order number, serial number, model number, rating,
etc., – for your equipment when ordering the spare parts list.

The owner is responsible for conformance to national electric code and all other applicable local codes and
practices. Refer to Safety Notice in Section 1 of this manual.
Note: Motor is equipped with the following accessories only if ordered with the motor.
Winding Resistance Temperature Detector RTD
Purpose
To measure or monitor winding temperature during operation.
Principle of Operation
The RTD uses a wire wound in a flat ribbon coil. It is wound so that it is a non−inductive device.
Its mode of operation is that of a linear change in resistance with temperature.
Installation
Baldor typically installs two (2) RTD’s per phase, six (6) in total. Each RTD is located between the top and
bottom coils in the slot.
Customer Interconnect
RTD leads are typically supplied in a separate conduit box. Leads are tagged and connected to a terminal
block. One side of the customer’s bridge circuit must be grounded. This can be done either at the motor
terminal box or at the instrumentation end of the circuit. Voltages that might appear on the circuit will then be
passed to ground.
Types Available
Baldor standard is 100 ohms @ 0 ºC. The wire element is platinum.
Standard optional available are either 120 ohms Nickel @0 ºC, 10 ohms Copper @ 25 ºC.
Dual element RTD’s are available on special order.
Remarks
1. Can provide either continuous temperature measuring or temperature monitoring.
2. Needs a separately mounted control and power source to read temperature or to provide a means for relay
operation (for either alarm or motor shut down features. )
3. Temperature can be monitored using an ohm meter or a resistance bridge and converting the resistance to
temperature.
4. Will respond thermally to normal load and temperature changes, but not fast enough to provide locked
rotor protection.
Winding Thermostat
Purpose
To indicate the winding temperature has exceeded normal operating temperatures.
The thermostat uses a bi−metal snap action disc to operate a set of contacts. The operating temperature is
factory selected and non−adjustable. The contacts can be wired directly to a relay to provide either alarm
indication or motor shut down features. Means of temperature measuring or monitoring cannot be provided
with this device. Refer to lead tags tor voltage and current limitations of contacts.
Installation
Baldor typically installs one thermostat per phase in motor coil head.
Leads terminate in a separate conduit box. Leads are tagged.
Remarks

temperature.
3. Can be wired directly to an alarm circuit without the use of a separate relay.
4. Can be used for AC or DC operation.
5. The thermostat provides a thermally automatic reset feature. The snap action automatic reset feature can
cause difficulty in troubleshooting unless it is connected to a manual reset relay.
6. Will respond thermally to normal load / temperature changes; however will not respond fast enough to
provide locked rotor protection.
MN420 Accessories 4-1

Winding Thermocouple − T/ C
Purpose
To measure or monitor winding temperature.
The T/C uses a junction of two dissimilar metals to generate a voltage which varies with change in junction
temperature.
Installation
Baldor typically installs one T/C’s per phase. Form wound motors have the bi−metal junction located between
the top and bottom coil sides in the slot.
Using same type of T/C wire, connect to leads supplied in separate conduit box. Leads are tagged.

Purpose
To indicate the winding temperature has exceeded normal operating temperatures.
Device is a semiconductor that changes its resistance abruptly at a certain temperature. The change is used to
trigger a switching action in an external control which provides an alarm or shutdown signal.
Installation
Thermistors can be installed in either the coil head or slot between top and bottom coil sides. Baldor standard
is to install three: in the slot on form wound stators and three in the coil heads on random wound stators. A
controller, included in thermistor package is mounted in an accessory conduit box.
Thermistor leads are brought to a terminal strip located on the coil head. Separate leads continue to controller,
located in the accessory conduit box, where customer connections are made.
Remarks
Cannot be used to measure or monitor winding temperatures. Similar to thermostat providing a switching
action to alarm or shutdown. Will not provide locked rotor protection.
Bearing Resistant Temperature Detector − RTD
Purpose

4-2 Accessories MN420

3. Temperature can be monitored using an ohm meter or a resistance bridge and converting the resistance
(after subtracting led resistance) to temperature by using the appropriate conversion tables for the
element.
Suggested Bearing and Winding RTD Setting Guidelines
Most large frame AC Baldor motors with a 1.15 service factor are designed to operate below a Class B
(80 ºC) temperature rise at rated load and are built with a Class H winding insulation system. Based on this
low temperature rise, RTD (Resistance Temperature Detectors) settings for Class B rise should be used as a
starting point. Some motors with 1.0 service factor have Class F temperature rise.
The following tables show the suggested alarm and trip settings for RTDs. Proper bearing and winding RTD
alarm and trip settings should be selected based on these tables unless otherwise specified for specific
applications.
If the driven load is found to operate well below the initial temperature settings under normal conditions, the
alarm and trip settings may be reduced so that an abnormal machine load will be identified.
The temperature limits are based on the installation of the winding RTDs imbedded in the winding as specified
by NEMA. Bearing RTDs should be installed so they are in contact with the outer race on ball or roller bearings
or in direct contact with the sleeve bearing shell.

Bearing Thermocouple − T/C
Purpose
To measure or monitor bearing temperature during operation.
The TIC uses a junction of two dissimilar metals to generate a voltage, which varies linearly with change in
junction temperature.
Installation
Baldor installs one T/C per bearing. The tip (bi−metal junction) is in actual contact with the bearing. The
small gauge T/C wires are protected with metal armored sheath and are terminated at a terminal strip inside
their separate conduit box. Each bearing T/C has its own conduit box.
Using the same type of T/C wire, connect to terminal strip posts in separate conduit box. Leads are tagged.
Remarks
1. Can provide continuous temperature measuring or temperature monitoring.
2. Can also measure temperature by using a potentiometer and converting voltage to temperature by use of
the proper conversion tables.
3. Needs separately mounted control and power source to read temperature or to provide a means of relay
operation for either alarm of motor shut down features.

Bearing Thermostat (Also called Bearing Temperature Relay or Gas Bulb Switch)
Purpose
To indicate the bearing temperature has exceeded normal operating temperatures.
The device operates due to expansion of gas sealed within a sealed gas bulb element which is placed in contact
with the bearing or oil in the bearing sump. As the temperature of the bearing or oil increases, the gas in the
element expands and deflects a diaphragm in the switch. The movement of the diaphragm activates the switch
contacts. The contacts can be wired directly to a relay to provide either alarm indication or motor shutdown.
Construction
The thermostat consists of a set of normally closed or normally open contacts operated by a diaphragm which
is connected to a gas bulb through a capillary tube.
Installation
The gas bulb must be mounted horizontally or vertically pointing downward. The gas bulb must be in contact
with the bearing housing (anti−friction bearing) or submersed in the oil (sleeve bearing) for proper operation.
Bearing Thermometer
Purpose
To measure directly the temperature of the oil in the bearing sump or of the bearing outer race.
Space Heaters
WARNING: Space Heaters operate at line voltage. Disconnect power to space heaters before performing maintenance
work on motor. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Purpose
Space heaters are used to prevent condensation of moisture within the motor enclosure during shutdown or
storage periods.
Mounting
Space heaters are selected, unless otherwise ordered, using the following parameters.
1. Sheath temperature 392 ºF (200 ºC) nominal maximum as standard. Lower Sheath temperatures are
available.
2. Temperature rise inside of motor raised approximately 10 ºF (6 ºC) above ambient.
3. Assume ambient maximum of 40 ºC
Space heaters are mounted and terminated at an accessory conduit box.
Leads are tagged.
Approximate space heater watts by frame size:
Frame Watts
5000/G315 320
5800/G400 450
9500/7111/6800/G500 600
Oil Circulation System
Purpose
To provide a source of cool, clean oil to the bearings.
Description
The oil lubrication system consists of provisions for introducing oil to the bearing and drains which will permit
removal of excess oil in the sump without flooding or without letting the sump level become too low for the oil
rings to pick up oil in the event the source of oil is lost.
Oil inlet and outlets are provided with each bearing to introduce oil into the journal area. An orifice is provided
in the oil inlet pipe line to control the amount of oil introduced into the bearing. The oil outlet will provide
adequate drain without total loss of oil in the sump. The bearing is also equipped with oil rings.
Requirement
The need for a lubrication system may exist on some ratings due to temperature requirements versus journal
size and speed of the shaft. In those cases the unit would be supplied with inlet and outlet provisions as
standard for connection to a customer provided source or oil.

Constant Level Oiler
Description
Constant level oilers are used as small supplementary oil sumps which provide an additional source of oil to
replenish small amounts of oil lost by long term leakage. They provide this feature without changing the oil level
in the sump.
Operation
The device is mounted on the side of a unit and is interconnected to the bearing housing. As oil in the bearing
sump is lowered, the constant level device adds oil to a predetermined level. This level is set at the factory and
should not require additional adjustments. If the oiler is to be replaced or its operation checked, the following
procedure should be followed:
A. TRICO OILER
The oiler is to maintain the oil level in the bearing sump oil level gage between the “Max” and “Min” levels.
1. Adjust the oiler by loosening the 3 set screws on the oiler housing.
2. Raise or lower the oiler bottle to raise or lower the oil level in the bearing sump level gauge.
3. When the oil level in the bearing sump level gage is between the “Max” and “Min” levels, tighten the 3 set
screws.
4. The oiler must be adjusted with the motor running.
B. OIL RITE OILER
The oiler is to maintain the oil level in the bearing sump oil level gage between the “Max” and “Min” levels.
1. The oil level groove on the oiler body, below the oilers bottle, must be located at the midpoint between the
“Max” and “Min” level scribe lines on the bearing sump oil level gauge.
2. The position of the oiler is adjusted by changing the length of the pipe nipple threaded into the bottom of
the oiler body.
3. The fill cap on the oiler must be closed tightly for the oiler to operate properly.
Features
The device has the following features:
1. Auxiliary source to replenish oil due to leakage.
2. Provides an indication of rate of oil leakage by the change in oil level in the constant level oiler.
3. Gives a “quick look” assurance that oil is in the bearing without the need to get close to the housing or
shaft.

Differential Air Pressure Switch For WPII Motors

Purpose
The differential air pressure switch is used to indicate dirty or clogged air filters.
The switch Is connected through tubing or hoses to static pressure probes located on the inlet and exhaust
sides of the air filters. As the air filters become clogged during operation the static pressure drop across the
filters will increase and the air flow through the motor will be reduced. The static pressure probes sense the
change in static pressure drop across the filter and, as a result of this pressure imbalance, a diaphragm in the
switch body is deflected. The switch diaphragm deflection will actuate the switch contacts.
Remarks
1. Can provide an indication of reduced air flow (increased static air pressure drop) through the air filters but
cannot be used to measure actual air flow rates.

2. Primary function is as a maintenance aid to alert the user of the filter condition. since the switch can be
utilized to activate an alarm or signal a potential shut down condition.
3. Switch contacts are preset to actuate at a static pressure differential of 0.5” W.G. This value indicates
clogged filters.
Differential Air Pressure Indicator For WPII Motors
Purpose
The differential air pressure Indicator (manometer) is used to measure the static air pressure drop across the air
filters which Is an indication of the degree of blockage of the filter.
The differential air pressure indicator is an inclined vertical manometer connected through tubing and/or hose
to static pressure probes located on the inlet and exhaust sides of the air filters. As the air filters become
clogged during operation. the static air pressure drop across the filters will increase and the liquid column
level in the manometer tube will change. This change in liquid column level in the manometer is calibrated to
indicate the static pressure drop in Inches of water.
Remarks
1. Can provide a continuous indication of static air pressure drop across the air filters (I.e. reduced air flow
volume) but cannot be used to measure actual air flow rates.
2. Primary function is as a maintenance aid to alert the user of the filter condition.
3. The manometer scale is marked at the factory: green pointer at the clean filter pressure differential, red
pointer at the dirty filter pressure differential.
Current Transformers
Description
Current transformers are a means of measuring or sensing current flow through the input leads of AC motors.
Application
Applications involve use of current transformers either for differential protection or metering line phase current.
Installation
The current transformers can be supplied and mounted in an oversize main motor conduit box.
The current transformers will be identified by ratio on the current transformers nameplate and will include
screw type terminals on the secondary terminals.
Selection
The selection of the current transformers is based upon the ratio that the user requires for matching his meters
or related instrumentation.
Lightning Arrestors And Surge Capacitors
Description
Lightning arrestors serve to limit the crest value of incoming voltage curves. Surge capacitors lengthen the rise
time of the surge wave thus reducing its effects on the stator winding.
Installation
Arrestors and/or capacitors can be mounted in an oversize main conduit box. They are connected from line
leads to ground, generally as near as possible to the motor.
Selection
Standard capacitance value for surge capacitors is 1.0 mfd − 460, 575 volts, .50 mfd − 2300−7000 volts.
They are suitable for 25, 40, 50, or 60 Hz systems.
Arrestors are selected according to the maximum RMS Line−To−Ground voltage.
Air Filters Filters will handle high velocity air speeds up to 600 FPM (3 m/s) net face velocity.
Resistance to air flow of a clean filter should not exceed 0.15” W.G. (37 N/m2 gauge).
Baldor recommends that the filters be cleaned or replaced when the static air pressure drop across the filters
reaches .50” W.G. (123.3 N/m2 gauge).

Vertical Solid Shaft Motors
Overview Duty Master Vertical AC motors are the perfect power mates for centrifugal pumps, sump pumps, turbine
pumps, in−line process pumps, fans, aerators, mixers, autoclaves, cooling towers and similar applications
in general industrial environments, Additional performance and protection features are available in standard
modification packages for customized applications in special environments such as petroleum refining,
chemical, processing and water treatment.
Typical features include:
• High grade steel lamination’s of rotor and stator reduce current densities and losses for greater electrical
efficiency.
• Vertical motors are typically designed for specific applications. These designs consider the appropriate
thrust capability, shaft float and bearing arrangement.
• Large grease reservoir is located above bearing to assure proper lubrication maximum motor life.
• Grease relief occurs by purging through bearing for positive lubrication.
• Standard conduit box is diagonally split for fast installation and easy servicing; can be rotated for
connection from top, bottom, or either side.
Maintenance Bearing Lubrication
The motors covered by this instruction manual are equipped with open (no shields) anti−friction bearings.
The data appearing on the Lubrication Nameplate attached to the motor has precedence over any data
presented in this manual.
Grease Lubricated Bearings
Motors equipped with grease lubricated bearings have been properly lubricated at the time of manufacture and
it is not necessary to lubricate at time of installation. If motor has been in storage for a period of four months or
more, lubricate before starting.
Lubrication of anti−friction bearings should be done as a part of a planned maintenance schedule.
The recommended lubrication interval below should be used as a guide to establish this schedule.
This motor has been properly lubricated at the time of manufacture and it is not necessary to lubricate at
time of installation. When the motor has been in storage for a period of six months or more, lubricate before
starting.
Lubrication of anti−friction bearings should be done as a part of a planned maintenance schedule.
The Recommended Lubrication interval should be used as a guide to establish this schedule.
Cleanliness is important in lubrication. Any grease used to lubricate anti−friction bearings should be fresh and
free from contamination. Similarly, care should be taken to properly clean the grease Wet area of the motor to
prevent grease contamination.
The relubrication periods shown in Table 5-2 are offered as a guide for different speeds, bearing types,
operating time and service conditions (Table 5-1).

Lubrication Procedure
Anti−friction bearings may be lubricated with the motor running or stationary. (Stationary with the motor warm
is recommended.)
1. Relubrication with the shaft stationary and a warm motor is recommended.
If lubrication must be done with motor running, stay clear of rotating parts and electrical circuits.
2. Locate the grease inlet, clean the area and replace the pipe plug with a grease fitting, if the motor is not
equipped with grease fittings.
3. Remove relief plug. If grease is caked around the plug, clean with a wooden stick or suitable tool, if severe
caking appears at the plug, run the motor until the bearing housing is warm, permitting a free flow of
grease through the housing.
4. Locate the motor nameplate. Find the lubricant recommended type and volume.
(Table 5-3 is for reference only, Nameplate values should always be used).
5. Add the recommended volume of the recommended lubricant using a hand operated grease gun.
6. Run the motor for 1/2 hour with relief plug removed.
7. Replace the pipe plugs and wipe off excess grease.
Oil Lubricated Bearings
Motors equipped with oil lubricated bearings are shipped from the factory without oil in the reservoirs.
As stated in the section on Receiving, the oil reservoirs must be filled with the proper lubricant upon receiving
the motor.
Cleanliness is important in lubrication. Any lubricant used to lubricate motor bearings should be fresh and free
from contamination. Similarly, care should be taken to properly clean the lubricant filler area of the motor to
prevent lubricant contamination.

B. Lubricant Characteristics
The lubricant must be a good grade turbine type mineral oil with the following additives.
1) Oxidation inhibitors
2) Anti−foaming agents for rapid separation of water
3) Corrosion inhibitors that adhere to the bearing surfaces and protect against rust. These turbine oils will
help to prevent splashing, foaming and rusting in the bearing sump.
Note: Do not use a detergent type of oil or automotive type of oil. The pour point of the lubricant must be
lower than the minimum starling temperature.
Relubrication Procedure
A. De−energize the motor, preferably by opening the manual disconnect switches, and locking the switch in
the out position.
B. Remove the drain plug(s) and drain the oil.
Note: The upper bracket contains approximately 9 gallons of oil.
C. If the oil appears discolored or contaminated, the sump(s) should be flushed with fresh, clean oil and
drained.
D. Clean the drain plug and area around the oil drain hole. Apply Permatex Type Aviation No.3 to the drain
plug threads and replace in the basket.
E. Clean the area around the oil fill plug and remove the plug. Fill the oil sump(s) to the proper level(s) with the
Recommended Lubricating Oil per the motor Lubrication Nameplate.
F. Replace the oil fill plug(s), wiped oil from the motor surfaces.
G. Start the unit and observe the oil level to be assured that there are no leaks.
Winding Maintenance (Open Motors only)
De−energize motor preferably by opening manual disconnect. To inspect the ends and outside surface of the
windings, remove the end over from the motor. Inspection of these portions of the windings will provide a
good indication of their general condition. To thoroughly inspect and clean the windings it may by necessary to
remove the rotor.
There are numerous methods for cleaning windings. The following methods are most commonly used, in order
of preference.
Note: Before cleaning the windings, check for loose blocking, evidence of damage to insulation, distortion or
movement of coils, etc. If any of these conditions exist, contact your local Reliance service engineer for
recommendations.
A. Dry Wiping
This method is satisfactory when the surfaces to be cleaned are accessible and when only dry dirt is to be
removed. Use a clean dry, lintless cloth. Do not use ’’waste’’ since the lint will adhere to the insulation and
increase dirt collection. Lint is particularly objectionable on high voltage insulation systems as it tends to
concentrate corona discharge.
B. Brushing And Suction Cleaning
Remove the dry dust and dirt by brushing with a bristle brush, followed by a vacuum suction cleaning. Do
not use wire brushes.
C. Blowing
Dry dirt and dust can be removed from inaccessible crevices by using a jet of low pressure compressed
air.
D. Solvent Cleaning
Oil, grease, tar and wax can be removed by cloth wetted with solvent, followed by wiping with a dry cloth.
Typical solvents which which can be used are:
Atlantic Safety Solvent Graymills Solvent De−Greasall
Zep Stoddard Solvent

E. Cleaning With Water and Detergent
Windings can be cleaned by hose washing or by a pressure spray from a low pressure steam generator or
shop steam line. Jet pressure and temperature should not exceed 30 psi (200 kPa) and 90 ºC respectively.
Oil. grease, tar and wax can be removed by adding a Non−conductive detergent to the wash water.
After washing, it is advisable to dry the windings in an oven.
Reconditioning (Revarnishing) Windings
If after cleaning with solvent or water and detergent, the insulation shows signs of dryness, etc., it may be
necessary to revarnish the windings. Consult your local Reliance service engineer for type and proper method
of revarnishing.
Checking Insulation Resistance
If the motor has been in storage for an extensive period or has been subjected to adverse moisture conditions,
check the insulation resistance of the stator winding as instructed in Section 2 of this manual.
Renewal Parts
Parts can be obtained from your local Baldor District Office. When ordering parts please give a complete
description of part and purchase order number, serial number, model number, etc., of the equipment on which
the part is used.
Adjustment of Axial Float
Grease Lubricated Thrust Bearing
The thrust bearing is locked to withstand upward and/or downward thrust. The axial float Is equal to the axial
internal clearance in the thrust bearing.
Oil Lubricated Thrust Bearing
1. Motors equipped with Deep Groove Ball Bearing, Single Angular Contact Ball Bearing or Tandem Angular
Contact Ball Bearing Thrust Bearings.
a. These types of thrust bearings are designed to withstand thrust in one direction only − downward
thrust. The axial float must be limited so that the upward thrust force and resultant motion will not
damage the thrust bearing. The upward thrust force Is withstood by the guide bearing.
b. The axial float must be limited to .010 to .015 inch. This Is accomplished by adjusting the thrust
bearing locknut. To facilitate this procedure, manually raise the shaft until the guide bearing shoulders
against the guide bearing inner cap.
c. With the shaft lifted, tighten the thrust bearing locknut with a spanner wrench (hand tightened).
d. Loosen the locknut approximately ¼ turn, Check the shaft axial float with a dial indicator by manually
raising and lowering the shaft.
Note: The dial indicator must be set up to measure the relative motion between the shaft and the bracket or
frame, not between the bearing mount and bracket.
e. Adjust the locknut as required to obtain .010 to .015 inch float. Lock the locknut in position.
2. Motors equipped with Duplex Mounted Angular Contact Ball Bearing Thrust Bearings.
a. This type of thrust bearing Is designed to withstand upward and downward thrust loads. The axial
float Is controlled by the assembled internal clearance of the duplex bearing set.
b. No axial float adjustment Is required. The bearing outer races are clamped in the bearing housing.
The bearing mount Is clamped between the thrust locknut and a shoulder on the shaft.
3. Motors Equipped with Spherical Roller Thrust Bearing (Spring Loaded Bearing)
a. This type of thrust bearing will withstand thrust in one direction only − downward thrust. Any upward
thrust load must be absorbed by the guide bearing, The Spherical Roller Thrust bearing outer ring is
preloaded by helical springs to assure sufficient thrust load on the bearing during periods of upward
thrust loading (momentary).
Note: On motors equipped with spherical roller bearings, the shaft rotation will “feel” stiff due to
bearing preload.
b. To adjust the axial float the tl1rust bearing pre−load springs must first be fully compressed. This Is
accomplished by using a bearing assembly fixture. Tighten the Jack screws evenly until the bearing Is
solidly seated.
c. With the shaft lifted until the guide bearing shoulders against the guide bearing inner cap, tighten the
thrust bearing locknut with a spanner wrench (hand tightened). The shaft can be lifted by means of a
jack of lever bar.
d. Loosen the locknut approximately ¼ turn. Check the axial float with a dial indicator by manually
raising and lowering the shaft.

Note: The dial indicator must be set up to measure the relative motion between the shaft and the bracket,
NOT between the bearing mount and the bracket.
e. Adjust the locknut as required to obtain .010 to .015 inch float. Lock the locknut in position.
f. Release the bearing assembly fixture.
Note: The shaft will rotate with a stiff feeling due to the spring pre−load.
Non Reverse Ratchet
Motors equipped with a non−reverse ratchet will have the ratchet assembly housed above the top bearing
below the protective dome cover. This non−reverse ratchet will permit rotation in a CCW direction only (viewed
from the opposite drive end of the motor). The non−reverse ratchet assembly consists of:
1. A stationary member (ratchet plate) with ramps and steps cast in it.
2. A rotating member with pins operating in vertical cylinders.
Under normal operating conditions the non−reverse ratchet will require no maintenance. However, if the motor
is subjected to numerous starts and stops or attempted reversals. the ratchet mechanism should be inspected
and worn parts should be replaced, if necessary.
Thrust Bearing Oil Cooler
When supplemental cooling of the oil is required, water cooling coils are immersed in the oil sump. The water
connections are brought out through the oil sump wall and are tagged inlet and Outlet. For proper Cooling,
approximately three gallons per minute of pure, clean sediment−free water is required. The Lubrication and
Bearing Data Nameplate on the motor will provide the specific requirements for each motor.
The cooling coil may be tested for leaks by draining the water from the coils and applying air pressure to the
coil while it is immersed in the oil (Maximum test pressure of 150 PSIG). Any leaks will result in air bubbles
rising from the coil.
Weather Protected Type” And Low Noise Enclosures
These types of enclosures are obtained by adding air directing hoods to the four sides of the basic WPI vertical
motor. The air inlet and exhaust openings are 90 to each other. On motors equipped with filters, the filter
elements are installed inside of the air intake hoods. Access to the filter elements is gained by opening the
small doors on each side of the air intake hood.
The filters can be removed by sliding the filter along the filter track through the open doors.
The filters should be cleaned per the instructions provided on the nameplate affixed to the motor.
