1. GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
This Manual is intended to supply and clarify
important topics that must be followed accordingly -
including storage, operation and maintenance of
WEG motors used in explosive atmospheres.
Therefore, we recommend reading it carefully,
together with the Instructions Manual and all
specific documents (data sheet, general
arrangement drawing, connection diagrams,
curves, etc.) delivered with the motor, before
performing any installation service or before
operating the electric motor.
Once these WEG motors have been designed for
explosive atmospheres, all safety information
described in item 1.2 below should be followed
carefully.
SAFETY INFORMATION
When any motor or equipment is
used out of the industrial area, it is
the enduser´s responsibility to
provide all safety and protection
information while installing the motor
(for example, to avoid that people
come close to the motor and others).
The motors referenced in this manual
go thorough constant improvement
so the information contained here
may be changed without prior notice.
During operation, such equipment
has energized or rotating parts that
may present high temperature.
Opened terminal boxes, unprotected
couplings or incorrect handling may
cause serious accidents to people
and/or material damage.
The people responsible for
installation safety should ascertain
that:
- Only qualified personnel perform
installation and operation services on
the equipment;
- This personnel must carry this
Manual along with other documents
supplied with the motor, and the
works should be performed in
accordance with specific standards
and documentation for this product;
- Unqualified personnel should never
perform any work on electric
equipment;
- If installation and safety instructions
are not followed accordingly,
warranty may be void.
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL are those
people who based on their
education, experience, knowledge of
standards and service conditions
required are duly authorized to
perform any service on the motor.
Furthermore, these people should
know how to carry out first aid
procedures.
If further doubts exists about this,
especially in reference to specific
product information, WEG is willing
to provide such information via its
network of authorized service agents
and/or representatives.
