Long-term storage
Check the correct state of the machine every six months.
● Check the motor for any damage.
● Perform any necessary maintenance work.
● Check the state of the dehydrating agent and replace when necessary.
● Record the preservation work so that all preservation coating can be removed prior to the
commissioning.
Condensation
The following ambient conditions encourage the formation of condensation:
● Significant fluctuations of the ambient temperature
● Direct sunshine
● High air humidity during storage
Avoid these ambient conditions.
Use a desiccant and a hygroscope in the packaging.
NOTICE
Risk of motor damage by voltage discharges resulting from condensation
If the stator winding is damp, its insulation resistance decreases. This can cause voltage
discharges that damage the windings.
• Keep the drain holes free so that condensation can escape freely.
NOTICE
Risk of motor damage by corrosion resulting from condensation
Condensation that does not escape can cause corrosion and motor damage.
• Keep the drain holes free so that condensation can escape freely.
