Note
The operating conditions can vary greatly. For that reason, the following table only states
general intervals for inspections and service during fault-free operation.
Table 9-1 MTTR in fault-free operation
Measure Interval Time limit

DANGER
Rotating or live parts
Rotating or live parts are dangerous. Death, serious injury, or material damage can result if
the required covers are removed.
If no inspection windows are fitted and, as a result, the appropriate covers need to be removed
to allow inspection of the commutating performance, these covers may only be dismounted
by specially qualified personnel. This ensures that there is no contact with live or moving
parts. Wear safety goggles when working.
Checking the motor when in operation
● The relevant technical data are observed: power consumption, temperature of windings,
bearings, coolants, etc.
● There should be no oil, grease, or water leakages.
● The smooth running characteristics and motor running noise have not deteriorated.
● No impermissible brush sparking occurs in operation.
