Setpoint values for monitoring the bearing temperature 
Prior to commissioning  
If the machine is equipped with bearing thermometers, set the temperature value for 
disconnection on the monitoring equipment before the first machine run.

Measures for start-up 
After installation or inspections, the following measures are recommended for normal start-
up of the machines: 
●  Start the machine without a load. To do this, close the circuit breaker and do not switch 
the machine off prematurely. Switching the machine off again while it is starting up and 
still running at slow speed should be kept to a bare minimum, for example for checking 
the direction of rotation or for checking in general. Allow the machine to run to a standstill 
before switching it back on again. 
●  Check mechanical operation for noise or vibration at the bearings or end shields. 
●  If the machine is not running smoothly or is emitting abnormal noises, switch it off, and 
determine the cause of the fault as it runs down. 
●  If mechanical operation improves immediately after the machine is switched off, then the 
cause is magnetic or electrical, e.g. voltage imbalance, magnetic imbalance. If 
mechanical operation does not improve immediately after switching the machine off, then 
the cause is mechanical, e.g. an imbalance in the electrical machines or in the driven
