Installation and Commissioning Guide for Three-Phase Asynchronous Motors

Pre-Installation Inspection

Insulation Resistance Test

1.Use a 500V megohmmeter to measure insulation resistance.

2.Minimum requirement: ≥0.5 MΩ for low-voltage motors.

3.If below standard, troubleshoot before installation to prevent short circuits.

Motor Specification Verification

1.Confirm power, speed, protection class (IP rating), and mounting type (horizontal/vertical).

2.Ensure the motor suits the operating environment (e.g., damp or dusty conditions).

Foundation Preparation

1.Structural Integrity

Use high-grade concrete with proper reinforcement to withstand dynamic loads.

2.Leveling Precision

Measure with a precision level; uneven bases cause vibration and bearing wear.

Motor Installation

1.Lifting & Positioning

Use certified lifting gear and attach to designated lifting points.

Secure with uniformly torqued foundation bolts (use a torque wrench).

2.Coupling Alignment

Align shafts within 0.05–0.1mm tolerance using dial indicators.

Maintain proper axial/radial clearance to prevent coupling damage.

Electrical Connection

1,Safety Measures

Verify power isolation with a voltage tester before wiring.

Wear insulated gloves and a helmet.

2.Phase Sequencing

Follow wiring diagrams strictly.

Label terminals (A/B/C or Yellow/Green/Red) to avoid reverse rotation.

Testing & Commissioning

1.No-Load Test (≥30 minutes)

Monitor speed, vibration, temperature, and noise.

Abnormal signs: Sudden temperature rise, excessive vibration → STOP & inspect.

2.Gradual Loading

Increase load incrementally to prevent winding damage
