●  Check after approx. 500 operating hours, but after not more than one year:  
 
When the 
motor is 
running 
The electrical parameters are maintained. 
The permissible bearing temperatures are not exceeded. 
 
 
The smooth running characteristics and machine running noise have not 
 
 
The foundation has no cracks or indentations. (*) 
 
 
(*) You can perform these checks while the motor is at standstill or, if required, while running. 
●  Further checks may be required if so specified in operating instructions of components or 
in accordance with the plant-specific conditions. 
●  If you find any deviations during the inspection, you must rectify them immediately. They 
may otherwise damage the motor. 
 
Check that the installation conditions are observed. We recommend that the following 
checks are performed after approx. 16 000 operating hours or at the latest after two years:  
Table 9- 1  Checks that have to be performed during the general inspection 
When the 
motor is 
running 
The electrical parameters are maintained 
The permissible bearing temperatures are not exceeded 
The smooth running characteristics and machine running noise have not 
 
 
The motor foundation has no cracks and indentations (*) 
The machine is aligned within the permissible tolerance ranges 
All the fixing bolts/screws for the mechanical and electrical connections 
have been securely tightened 
 
 
All the potential connections, grounding connections and shield supports 
are correctly seated and properly bonded 
 
 
The winding insulation resistances are sufficiently high 
Any bearing insulation is fitted as shown on the plates and labels 
The CABLES and insulating parts and components are in good condition 
and there is no evidence of discoloring 
 
 
(*) You can perform these checks while the motor is at standstill or, if required, while running.
