If necessary, it is allowed to operate electric motors while maintaining their rated power in case of voltage deviations in the network up to ±10% of the rated value. Monitoring of the voltage level on the buses of own needs should be carried out using measuring instruments (according to the indication on the monitors of automated process control systems) installed on control panels (control room, main control room), as well as devices connected to voltage transformers or directly to the buses of sections and power assemblies in the premises of switchgear switchgear, switchgear distribution systems and etc.
2.2. If the frequency of the supply network changes within ±2.5% (1.25 Hz) of the rated value, the electric motor can operate with the rated load.
2.3. The rated power of electric motors must be maintained with a simultaneous deviation of voltage up to ±10% and frequency up to ±2.5% (±1.25 Hz) of the nominal values, provided that when working with increased voltage and reduced frequency or with reduced voltage and increased frequency, the sum of the absolute values of the deviations voltage and frequency does not exceed 10%.
2.4. The voltage on the DC buses supplying power cabinets of electric motors, control circuits, relay protection devices, alarms and automation under normal operating conditions can be maintained 5% higher than the rated voltage of electrical receivers,
2.5.

The values of the moments of resistance on the motor shaft during starts, as well as the permissible moments of inertia of the driven mechanisms, must be established in the technical specifications for motors of specific types.
2.6. Two-speed electric motors, as a rule, allow direct starting only of a winding with a lower rotation speed, followed by switching (if necessary) to a winding of a higher rotation speed.
The admissibility of direct starting from a winding of higher rotation speed and the number of such starts are determined by the technical conditions for a specific type of electric motor.
Switching of such motors should be done with no more than two switches.
Simultaneous activation of both windings is not allowed.

A test run, as a rule, is carried out with the drive mechanism disconnected and not until it is fully turned. After short-term test starts and elimination of noticed defects, the electric motor is started idle for the time necessary for the bearings to reach a steady temperature. In this case, the vibration state, no-load current, bearing operation, and the absence of extraneous sounds must be checked.

4.9. If there are no comments on the condition of the unit, the power plant shift supervisor must give the command to the electrical department shift supervisor to assemble the electrical circuit of the electric motor. Upon receipt of such an order, the electrical shop personnel on duty must:
4.9.1. Check the completion of work and closure of all issued work orders on the electric motor and its electrical equipment. Make sure there is an extract in the “Equipment Input/Output Log for Repair”.
4.9.2. Inspect the electric motor and its electrical equipment; check the connection of the power cables to the motor terminals, the absence of bare current-carrying parts, the density of the output device or the closure of the terminal chamber, the serviceability of the starting and switching equipment, the condition of the brush device, the presence and serviceability of the protective grounding of the electric motor.
4.9.3. Make sure that the area around the electric motor and the electric motor itself are clear of dirt and foreign objects.

For new electric power units put into operation for the first time motors and electric motors, who have undergone rehabilitation or major repairs and reconstruction in a specialized repair shop enterprise, acceptable values insulation resistance winding st ator, absorption coefficient and nonlinearity coefficient, being the conditions of their inclusions in work without drying are given in tables 5 and 6.
Rotor winding insulation resistancesynchronous electric motors and asynchronous electric motors with a phase rotor for a voltage of 3 kV higher or power more than 1 MW, switched on for the first time during operation, it must be at least 0.2 MOhm, and after completion of scheduled repairs it is not standardized.
For electric motorsvoltage above 1 kV in operation, the permissible value of the insulation resistance of the stator winding R 60 and absorption coefficient at the end of capital or no current repairs are standardized, but must be taken into account when deciding on the need for their drying. In operation, determination of the absorption coefficient is mandatory for electric motors with voltages above 3 kV or power greater than 1 MW. It should be taken into account that if the engine is under repair for a long time, its stator winding may become moist, which may require drying and, for this reason, delay its commissioning. Therefore, when starting a scheduled repair unit, measurement Insulation of the stator winding of electric motors of critical auxiliary mechanisms should be carried out no later than 2 days. before the scheduled completion date of the repair. The insulation resistance of the stator windings of electric motors with voltages higher than 1 kV, together with the supply cable, which are started up after a long period of inactivity or being in reserve, is also not standardized. It is considered sufficient if the specified resistance is at least 1 MΩ per 1 kV of the rated line voltage. Insulation resistance is measured at a nominal winding voltage of up to 0.5 kV inclusive with a mega-ohmmeter for a voltage of 500 V, at a rated winding voltage of over 0.5 kV to 1 kV - with a mega-ohmmeter for a voltage of 1000 V, and for a winding voltage above 1 kV - with a mega-ohmmeter for a voltage of 2500 V.

In case of an unacceptable decrease in insulation resistance and unsatisfactory values of the absorption coefficient and nonlinearity, the electric motor must be dried.
4.9.6. Remove safety signs and prohibition warning posters from the electric motor and switching equipment, which was used to disassemble the electrical circuit of the electric motor.
4.9.7. Assemble the electrical circuit of the electric motor and lubrication oil pump (if any), supply operational current to the control, protection, alarm circuits, and to the automatic and interlock circuits. In preparation for operation of electric motors of ball mills, in addition to assembly electrical diagram synchronous motors and their oil stations, it is necessary to assemble electrical circuits of their exciters (excitation systems) and fans of the forced cooling system (if the latter are present).
4.9.8. Check the presence and operation of signal lamps on the control panel, the absence of dropped indicator relays and signals about a malfunction of the circuit and electrical engine, including information about unavailability displayed on the monitor of the automated process control system (if available).
4.9.9. Report to the person who gave the order to prepare the electric motor for start-up about assembling the electrical circuit And motor readiness inclusionto the network. Make an entry in the operational journal.
5.1. The electric motor is switched on by the duty personnel of the technological workshop servicing this mechanism. About the upcoming launch of a powerful or the responsible electric motor located long-term reserve(more than 1 month) or after repair, the workshop personnel servicing the starting mechanism must notify the electrical workshop personnel, who are obliged to carry out pre-start operations in accordance with paragraph 4.9. The exceptions are launches related to the liquidation of an emergency situation, and launches electric motors, switched on by AVR.
5.2. When turning on the electric motor locally, its control key (button) should be kept in the “On” position until the electric motor turns.
When turning on the electric motor remotely, its control key (virtual key on the video frame of the technological diagram of the unit being started) should be kept in the “On” position until the alarm goes off, indicating the end of the operation (signal lamp, light display, etc. comes on).
5.3. At the location where the electric motor is installed, it is necessary to monitor the starting mode. The supervisor of the technological workshop must check the correct rotation, ease of movement, and the absence of extraneous noise. In the event of sparks, smoke from the windings or bearings, extraneous sound, knocking and rubbing, you should immediately turn off the electric motor with the emergency button.
If the start-up proceeds normally, the supervisor must inspect the electric motor, make sure that the bearings are operating normally and that there is no unacceptable heating or vibration.
5.4. The person performing the start must monitor the start using an ammeter or stator current indication on the screen of the operator station of the automated process control system (if available).
When starting an asynchronous electric motor with a squirrel-cage rotor, the toxtator exceeds the rated value by 5-7 times and remains practically unchanged throughout the entire start-up. As soon as the rotor speed reaches 90% of the rated value, the stator current sharply decreases to a value close to the rated value or lower. The start-up time, depending on the flywheel of the mass unit, ranges from several seconds (circulation, feed pumps) to tens of seconds (blower fans, smoke exhausters).
When starting a synchronous motor of a ball mill, it is initially started asynchronously due to the starting short-circuited winding located in the pole pieces. Upon reaching the subsynchronous rotation speed, the motor is automatically excited by supplying direct current to the circuit of the working rotor winding, and the electric motor is drawn into synchronism. Signs of involvement engine deceleration synchronism is determined by the presence of excitation current and the steady position of the ammeter needle in the stator winding circuit.
If the stator current at the end of the start exceeds the rated value, it is necessary to partially unload the motor in terms of active power and, if necessary, reactive power (the latter only for synchronous motors when operating with a reduced (advanced) power factor).
5.5. If, at the moment of turning on the electric motor with a voltage above 1000 V, the signal “Ground on the section...” appears, the electric motor should be turned off and the duty personnel of the electrical workshop should be informed about this.
5.6. If the engine turns off during start-up, then it is necessary to acknowledge the control key, inspect the electric motor and inform the duty personnel of the electrical department to take measures to determine the reason for the shutdown and activation of the protection.
5.7. Two-speed motors, as a rule, should be connected to the network on a winding of lower rotation speed with subsequent switching (if necessary) to a winding of higher rotation speed.
The admissibility of direct starting from a winding of higher rotation speed and the number of such starts are determined by technical conditions or factory operating instructions for specific engines.
Simultaneous activation of both windings is not allowed.
5.8. Starting of electric motors driving fans (smoke exhausters, blower fans, hot blast fans, etc.) must be done with the dampers closed.
5.9. Electric motors with squirrel-cage rotors are allowed, subject to the conditions of their heating, to be started from a cold state 2 times in a row, from a hot state - 1 time, if the factory instructions do not allow more starts. Subsequent starts are allowed after the electric motor has cooled for a period of time determined by the factory instructions.
Subsequent starts of electric motors with voltages over 1000 V are allowed after 3 hours.
6 Supervision of electric motor operation
6.1. Constant supervision of the operation of electric motors must be carried out by the duty personnel of the technological workshop servicing the mechanisms. In addition, the condition and operating mode of electric motors must be monitored by the personnel on duty in the electrical workshop through periodic scheduled walk-throughs and inspections of all electric motors, both working and in reserve. Regardless of this, all electric motors with voltages above 1000V at least 2 times a month, and the rest must be inspected by a repairman once a month.
Extraordinary inspections of electric motors must be carried out when their protection is switched off and there is a sudden change in climatic conditions (for outdoor units) and operating mode.
6.2. Electric motors that are in reserve for a long time and automatic reserve switching devices must be inspected and tested together with mechanics according to a schedule approved by the technical manager of the power plant, but at least once a month.
6.3. During operation of the electric motor, the personnel on duty in technological workshops are obliged to:
6.3.1. Regulate the load of electric motors within acceptable limits depending on the operating mode of the boiler, turbine and other equipment of the power plant, ensuring that the stator (rotor) currents do not exceed the rated values. If there are no ammeters, monitor the heating temperature electric motor directly touching the body with your hand. If the permissible limits for current or heating are exceeded, it is necessary to unload the unit and take measures to determine the cause of the overload.
6.3.2. Control heating and vibration of bearings. If an increase in temperature or vibration of the bearing is detected by touch, it is necessary carry out a control measurement through a portable device (with lack of stationary devices).
Extremely valid values temperature vibration electric motor bearings are given in paragraphs and.
6.3.3. Check the oil level in electric motors with ring-lubricated bearings. Sleeve bearing chambers must be filled out oil up to the mark on the oil level gauge or, if there is no mark, to the middle of the oil indicator glass on bearing. If necessary, add oil. recommended by the manufacturer brand (T22, T30, Tp30 or other). Frequent topping up (more than once a month) with indicates its leak. Especially oil leakage inside the housing is dangerous electric motor, because the it may cause corrosion cover, varnish and reduction of insulation resistance of the stator winding.
IN electric motors with With a forced lubrication system, control the oil pressure in the oil pressure line and the amount of oil at the bearing drain, which should fill approximately 1/2 to 1/3 of the cross-section of the oil drain line.
6.3.4. Ensure proper operation of the lubricating rings, in particular their rotation. Rapid rotation of the lubrication rings, accompanied by a slight ringing sound, indicates a lack of oil in the bearing chamber.
6.3.5. Pay attention to the appearance of abnormal noise in the rolling bearings, indicating an insufficient amount of lubrication or the appearance of defects on the surfaces of the races and rolling elements, and report this to the shift supervisor of the electrical department.
6.3.6. Monitor stator heating using standard heat control sensors. If increased heating of the winding, core and cooling air is detected, partially unload the motor along the stator (rotor) currents and take immediate measures to restore the normal thermal state of the electric motor by adjusting the parameters of the cooling water and condensate used to cool the rotor and stator core.
If it is impossible to reduce temperatures to acceptable values, the engine must be stopped in agreement with the shift supervisor of the electrical department.
6.3.7. Observe the brush apparatus of synchronous electric motors. If unacceptable sparking, increased vibration and other defects are detected, report this to the shift supervisor of the electrical shop so that measures can be taken to normalize the operation of the current collection unit.
6.3.8. Monitor the operating mode of air coolers, as well as direct water cooling systems for AB (2AV)-8000/6000 electric motors, ensuring that the pressures, flow rates and temperatures of cooling water and condensate are maintained within acceptable limits.
6.3.9. Make sure that all rotating parts of the electric motor (end ends, coupling halves, pulleys, etc.) are securely covered with guards.
6.3.10. Do not allow steam, water or oil to enter the motor output device or inside its housing.

1. General part. 1.1. These instructions are intended for the correct and safe operation and maintenance of AC and DC electric motors of any power. 1.2. When operating electric motors, in addition to these instructions, it is necessary to use the regulatory and technical documents listed in Table 1.1. PUE POT RM-0162001 PTEEP IOT R 10-053-04 IOT R 10-202-04 IOT R 10-204-04 Regulatory and technical documents Table 1.1 Rules for the design of electrical installations Interindustry rules for labor protection (safety rules) during the operation of electrical installations Technical rules operation of electrical installations of consumers Instructions on labor protection for an electrician for the repair and maintenance of electrical equipment and electrical installations Instructions for labor protection for an electrician in the operation of distribution networks Instructions for labor protection for an electrician in servicing substations 1.3. After acceptance of the electric motor (as well as control and starting devices, power and control connection cables related to this electric motor), the operating organization must collect and prepare all technical documentation for this electric motor. For each electric motor operating in an explosive zone, a passport must be issued containing all the necessary technical data on the electric motor (passport data), data on repairs, tests and measurements of explosion protection parameters, data on malfunctions and defects of the electric motor. For conventional electric motors, a similar passport is drawn up when the rated voltage of the electric motor is more than 1000V or unit power is more than 250 kW inclusive. The passport form is approved by the person responsible for electrical equipment. The results entered into the electric motor passport are also signed by the person responsible for the electrical equipment. 2. Purpose and technical data. 2.1. An electric motor is designed to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. An electric motor is the main element of the electric drive of working machines. 2.2. Each electric motor is characterized by nominal data: Rnom – rated power of the electric motor, kW; Unom – rated voltage of the electric motor, V; Inom – rated current of the electric motor, A; nnom – rated rotation speed, rpm; cosφ - power factor (for AC motors); Efficiency – efficiency factor;; winding connection – Y (star) ∆ (delta) (for three-phase AC motors); heat resistance class of stator winding insulation – F (letter indicating class); Inom. rotor - rated rotor current, A (for DC and AC motors with a wound rotor); operating mode of the electric motor – S+digit indicating the operating mode. 2.3. Electrical insulating materials used in the manufacture of electric motors are divided into seven classes according to heat resistance (the same classes of materials are also applicable for other electrical machines). Table 2.1 shows the insulation temperature values depending on the class. In practice, it is prohibited to allow the electric motor (any of its parts) to overheat above 80°C, but in emergency modes (when only one electric motor from a group remains in operation, etc. situations), you can rely on the numbers in Table 2.1. Limit temperature of windings according to insulation class Heat resistance class Y A E B F Maximum permissible temperature 90 105 120 130 155 °C Table 2.1 H C 180 >180 2.4. Depending on the ambient temperature, the rated power of the electric motor changes, which should be taken into account during operation. Table 2.2 shows the dependence of power on ambient temperature. Dependence of the rated power of the electric motor on the ambient temperature Table 2.2 o Ambient temperature, C 40 45 50 55 60 Rated power, % 100 96 92 87 82 2.5. Each electric motor is designed for operation in certain climatic conditions. Table 2.3 shows the correlation of climatic versions of electric motors with the categories of their placement according to environmental parameters. Linking climatic versions of electric motors with their placement categories Table 2.3 o Maximum Temperature, C Climatic Category value placement design upper value relative lower value of humidity, % U 1, 2 +40 -45 100 at 25 oC U 3 +40 -45 98 at 25 oC У 4 +35 +1 80 at 25 оС Т 2 +50 -10 100 at 35 оС УХЛ 4 +40 -50 100 at 25 оС ХЛ 1, 2 +40 -60 100 at 25 оС 2.6. Each electric motor can be characterized depending on the degree of protection (the degree of protection of the electric motor is indicated in the passport, or on a special nameplate attached to the electric motor itself). Tables 2.4 and 2.5 provide descriptions and symbols of degrees of protection. Table 2.5 applies to all types of machines (power transformers, electric motors, etc.). 2.7. The selection and installation of electric motors, ballasts, instrumentation, protection devices, as well as all electrical and auxiliary equipment for them must comply with the requirements of the PUE and environmental conditions. 2.8. When choosing the power of electric motors, it is necessary to take into account the operating conditions of the production mechanism for which the electric motor is intended. The use of electric motors of insufficient power can lead to disruption of the normal operation of the mechanism, and the use of electric motors of excessive power worsens the economic performance of the installation, leads to its rise in cost and increased energy losses.

Electric motors are characterized by a certain operating mode - established by the manufacturer, the order of alternating periods characterized by the size and duration of the load, shutdowns, braking, starting and reversing during operation. Table 2.6 shows the modes and their characteristics. It is prohibited to operate electric motors (except for urgent needs or in emergency situations) in operating modes that are not typical for them. Operating modes of electric motors Table 2.6 Operating mode Characteristics of the mode The operating mode of the electric motor, when, at a constant rated load Pnom, the operation of the electric motor continues for so long that the overheating temperature of all its parts manages to reach the S1 mode of steady-state values. A distinction is made between continuous mode with a constant load and continuous mode with varying load. A mode of operation of an electric motor in which periods of a constant rated load alternate with periods of switching off the electric motor. In this case, the periods of operation are so short that the temperature of all parts of the electric motor does not have time to reach short-term established values, and the periods of shutdown in such a mode S2 are long. That all parts of the electric motor have time to reach ambient temperature. The symbol indicates the duration of operation of the electric motor, for example S2-30min (standard: 10, 30, 60 and 90 minutes) The mode of operation of the electric motor, in which short-term operating modes of the electric motor alternate with periods of its shutdown (pauses), and during the period of operation there is no temperature rise manages to reach steady-state values, and during the pause period the parts of the recurrent electric motor do not have time to cool down to the ambient temperature for a short time. The mode is characterized by the relative duration of the activation mode S as a percentage: S3-40% - PV = 40% (the electric motor works 40% of the time, 60% rests). It is allowed to transfer the electric motor from mode S1 to operating mode S3, while the power of the electric motor can be increased: with duty cycle = 60% - by 30%; with PV=40% - by 60%; with PV=25% - by 100% and with PV=15% - by 2.6 times. 3. Design and operation. 3.1. An asynchronous electric motor is an alternating current machine that has a stationary stator with a winding and a rotating rotor, which depends on the design of the electric motor. A characteristic feature of an asynchronous electric motor is the inequality of the rotor speed and the rotating field of the stator. 3.2. Structurally, asynchronous AC motors Fig. 1 Sectional view of an asynchronous electric motor. are divided into two main types: with wound rotor and with squirrel cage rotor. These types of electric motors have the same stator design and differ only in the shape of the rotor. Figure 1 shows the design of an asynchronous electric motor. Rice. 2 AO series asynchronous electric motor, external view (left) and elements of its design (right). 3.3. Asynchronous machines belong to the category of non-salient pole machines, since there are no salient poles on either the stator or the rotor of an asynchronous machine, while the windings (both stator and rotor) are evenly distributed in slots along the inner perimeter of the stator core and the outer perimeter of the rotor core. 3.4. The design of a DC electric motor consists of a stator and a rotor. Its characteristic feature is the presence of a commutator and contact brushes for a mechanical AC-to-DC converter. Figure 3 shows a DC motor with its structural parts. Rice. 3 Open DC electric motor in a disassembled state. 3.5. DC electric motors differ in the method of excitation: electric motors can be with independent, parallel, series and mixed excitation, as well as using a permanent magnet. DC motors are reversible machines - the machine can be used as an electric motor and as a generator. 3.6. The operating principle of asynchronous AC and DC motors is the interaction of the magnetic fields of the stator and rotor. In an asynchronous electric motor, the three-phase magnetic field of the stator, induced by a three-phase alternating current, creates a magnetic field in the rotor, and, accordingly, a current in its winding, which in turn creates a magnetic field in the rotor. As a result, two magnetic fields interact to create a torque. The self-inductive emf in the stator winding acts counter to the applied voltage and limits the current through the winding. In a DC electric motor, torque is created by the constant magnetic field of the stator and armature (rotor). The magnetic field of the stator is not changeable (constant), the magnetic field of the armature is changed, or regulated, by changing the armature current. Changing the parameters of the armature magnetic field determines the adjustment characteristics of the DC motor. 4. Preparation for work. 4.1. Before starting operation of the electric motor, operating personnel (if the electric motor is commissioned by operational personnel) or operational and repair personnel (if the electric motor is commissioned by operational and repair personnel) must: carry out an external inspection of the electric motor and the mechanism driven by it; check the compliance of the actual starting conditions with the nominal starting conditions - check the voltage level on the 0.4 kV buses - the voltage level must be within the rated limits for a given electric motor; check the tightness of all bolted connections; check the reliability of the grounding circuit for 0.4 kV electric motors; check the guarding of live parts of the electric motor; check the presence of guards on the rotating parts of the electric motor; check the readiness of circuits and start-up and control devices for electric motors (circuits with switching devices in control circuits must be put into operation); report to the shift manager of the ESN of the Ukhtinskaya CS about the readiness of the electric motor for start-up; 4. 2. The above procedure for preparing an electric motor for start-up is valid both for newly introduced electric motors and for electric motors that have undergone repairs. 4.3. Operating personnel are prohibited from starting the electric motor without conducting an external inspection. 4.4. Electric motors with squirrel-cage rotors are allowed to be started from a cold state 2 times in a row, from a hot state 1 time, if the factory instructions do not allow more starts. Subsequent starts are permitted after the electric motor has cooled for a period of time determined by the factory instructions for this type of electric motor. 4.5. Restarting electric motors in the event of their shutdown by the main protections is permitted after inspection and control measurements of insulation resistance. For electric motors of critical mechanisms that do not have a reserve, one restart after the operation of the main protections is permitted based on the results of an external inspection of the engine. Restarting electric motors in the event of backup protection until the cause of the shutdown is determined is not allowed. 4.6. The selection of fuse links for protection against multiphase short circuits of electric motors of mechanisms with easy starting conditions is made according to the formula: I inserts = I starting 2.5 and for motors of mechanisms with difficult starting conditions (long acceleration times, frequent starts, etc.) according to the formula: I insert = I starting 1.6 where I insert is the rated current of the fuse link (A) I insert is the starting current of the electric motor (I insert starting current for a specific electric motor) = Inom* kstart, where kstart is a factor of 4.7. Fuse links must be calibrated with the rated current of the link indicated on the label. The mark must be from the manufacturer or electrical laboratory. The use of uncalibrated inserts is prohibited. 4.8. Protection of all elements of the consumer network, as well as technological blocking of nodes, must be carried out in such a way as to ensure self-starting of electric motors of critical mechanisms. The list of responsible mechanisms involved in self-starting must be approved by the technical manager of the Consumer. Control devices should be located as close as possible to the electric motor in places convenient for maintenance, unless other placement is required for reasons of economy, ease of maintenance and cable consumption. If the mechanism driven by it is not visible from the place where the electric motor control device is installed (button, key, etc.), and if this mechanism is constantly serviced by personnel, the following must be provided: 1. Alarm or sound notification about the upcoming start of the mechanism. 2. Installation near the electric motor and driven mechanism of devices for emergency shutdown of the electric motor, excluding the possibility of remote start. If there is control from several places, devices (switches, switches) must be provided that exclude the possibility of remote start of a mechanism or line taken out for repair. 5. Requirements for safe work performance. 5.1. Electric motors and the mechanisms they drive must be marked with arrows indicating the direction of rotation of the mechanism and the engine. The positions “Start” and “Stop” must be marked on the ballasts. When using push-button switching on and off of equipment and mechanisms, the switching buttons should be recessed 3-5 mm beyond the dimensions of the starting box. contactors, magnetic starters, switches, 5.2. Switches, ballasts, etc., as well as fuses, must have inscriptions indicating which electric motor they belong to. 5.3. The terminals of the stator and rotor windings and the cable funnel must be covered with guards. Rotating parts of machines - pulleys, couplings, fans, open parts of shafts - must be covered with guards, the removal of which is prohibited while the electric motors are running. 5.4. Protection of electric motors must be carried out in accordance with the PUE. On electric motors that are subject to systematic overload for technical reasons, overload protection is installed, acting on a signal, automatic unloading of the mechanism, or shutdown. If the electric motor of a critical mechanism is disconnected from the protection action and there is no backup, it is allowed to restart the electric motor after a thorough check of the control circuit, protection and the electric motor itself. 5.5. Electric motors of mechanisms whose technological process is regulated by stator current, as well as mechanisms subject to technological overload, must be equipped with ammeters installed on the starting board or panel. Ammeters must also be included in the excitation circuits of synchronous electric motors. The ammeter scale should have a red line corresponding to the long-term permissible or nominal value of the stator (rotor) current. On DC electric motors used to drive critical mechanisms, regardless of their power, the armature current must be controlled. 5.6. Electric motors that have been in reserve for a long time must be constantly ready for immediate start; they must be periodically inspected and tested together with the mechanisms according to a schedule approved by the technical manager of the Consumer. In this case, for outdoor electric motors that do not have heating, the insulation resistance of the stator winding and the absorption coefficient must be checked. 5.7. Electric motors must be immediately disconnected from the network in the following cases: in case of accidents with people; the appearance of smoke or fire from the electric motor housing, as well as from its control gear; failure of the drive mechanism; a sharp increase in vibration of the mechanism bearings; heating the bearings above the permissible temperature specified in the manufacturer’s instructions; a significant decrease in speed, accompanied by rapid heating of the electric motor. 5.8. If work on an electric motor or a mechanism driven by it involves touching live and rotating parts, the electric motor must be turned off and technical measures must be taken to prevent it from being turned on by mistake. In this case, both power circuits of the stator windings must be disconnected and disassembled for a two-speed electric motor. 5.9. Work that does not involve touching live or rotating parts of the electric motor and the mechanism driven by it can be performed with the electric motor running. It is not allowed to remove the guards of the rotating parts of the operating electric motor and mechanism. 5.10. When working on an electric motor, it is allowed to install grounding on any section of the cable line connecting the electric motor to the switchgear section, panel, or assembly. If work on the electric motor is designed for a long period of time, is not performed or is interrupted for several days, then the cable line disconnected from it must also be grounded on the electric motor side. In cases where the cross-section of the cable cores does not allow the use of portable groundings, for electric motors with voltages up to 1000V, it is allowed to ground the cable line with a copper conductor with a cross-section not less than the cross-section of the cable cores or connect the cable cores together and insulate them. Such grounding or connection of cable cores should be taken into account in operational documentation along with portable grounding. 5.11. Before permission to work on electric motors capable of rotation due to the mechanisms connected to them (smoke exhausters, fans, pumps, etc.), the steering wheels of shut-off valves (latches, valves, dampers, etc.) must be locked. In addition, measures have been taken to slow down the rotors of electric motors or disengage couplings. Necessary operations with shut-off valves must be agreed upon with the shift supervisor of the technological workshop or area with an entry in the operational log. 5.12. The voltage must be removed from the circuits for manual remote and automatic control of electric drives of shut-off valves and guide vanes. Posters “Do not open! People are working” should be posted on the steering wheels of gate valves, dampers, valves, and “Do not turn on! People are working” should be posted on the keys and control buttons for electric drives of shut-off valves. 5.13. On electric motors of the same type or similar in size, installed next to the engine on which work is to be performed, "Stop! Voltage" posters must be posted, regardless of whether they are in operation or stopped. 5.14. If it is necessary to carry out testing during work, the procedure for turning on the electric motor (for testing) should be as follows: the work manager removes the team from the work site, formalizes the completion of the work and hands over the work order to the operating personnel. Operating personnel remove installed grounding connections, posters, and assemble the circuit. after testing, if it is necessary to continue working on the electric motor, the operating personnel again prepares the workplace and the crew is re-allowed to work on the electric motor. 5.15. Work on a rotating electric motor without contact with live and rotating parts can be carried out by order. 5.16. Servicing the brush apparatus on a running electric motor is permitted by order of an employee trained for this purpose, having group 3, subject to the following precautions: work using face and eye protection, in buttoned-up protective clothing, being careful not to get caught in the rotating parts of the electric motor. use dielectric galoshes and carpets. Do not touch the live parts of two poles or the live and grounding parts with your hands at the same time. Rotor rings can only be ground on a rotating electric motor using pads made of insulating material. 6. Maintenance 6.1. The frequency of maintenance is set depending on production conditions, but not less than once every 2 months. During maintenance it is necessary to: clean electric motors from contamination (remove oil, moisture and dust from accessible parts); check the condition of slip rings and brushes on electric motors with a wound rotor; reliability of grounding and connection of electric motors with drive mechanisms; it is necessary to periodically monitor the operating mode and not overload the electric motors; good condition of bolted connections of electric motors. . 6.2. The frequency of major and current repairs of electric motors is determined by the technical manager of the Consumer. Depending on local conditions, as a rule, current repairs and blowing of electric motors should be carried out simultaneously with the repair of driven mechanisms. 6.3. With TP, the following must be done: disassembling the electric motor, cleaning it internally; replacement of bearing grease (replacement of grease in bearings under normal operating conditions should be done after 4000 hours of operation, but at least once a year). When operating the electric motor in a dusty and humid environment, the lubricant should be changed more often, depending on local conditions; measurement of the insulation resistance of the windings from the housing; if a decrease in the insulation resistance of the stator winding is detected, it is necessary to immediately take measures to restore it in accordance with PTEEP; After assembling the electric motor, a test run is carried out, during which they make sure that there are no knocks or vibrations or that the fan is touching the casing 6.4. Major repairs with removal of the rotor of electric motors of critical mechanisms operating in difficult temperature conditions and in polluted environments must be carried out at least once every 2 years. 6.5. Preventative tests and measurements on electric motors must be carried out in accordance with electrical equipment testing standards. 6.6. To monitor the presence of voltage, voltmeters or signal lamps must be installed on group panels and electric motor assemblies. 6.7. To ensure normal operation of the electric motor, it is necessary to maintain the voltage on the tires in the range from 100 to 105% of the rated value. If necessary, it is allowed to operate the electric motor with a voltage deviation from –5 to + 10% of the nominal voltage. 6.8. The vibration of the electric motor, measured at each bearing, should not exceed the values specified in table 2.7. 6.9. Monitoring the load of electric motors, brush apparatus, vibration, temperature of elements and cooling media of the electric motor (windings and stator cores, air, bearings, etc.), care of bearings (maintaining the required oil level) and cooling air supply devices, as well as operations Starting and stopping the electric motor must be carried out by the personnel of the department servicing the mechanism. Permissible levels of vibration of electric motors rotation speed 3000 1500 1000 Table 2.7 0.05 0.16 Synchronous (rpm) Permissible amplitude of bearing vibration, mm 0.10 0.13 750 and below 7. Removal from service. 7.1. At the end of the service life and dismantling of the electric motor (electric motors), if it is impossible to further use it at the facilities, it is necessary to carry out the following measures: a) disassemble the electric motor (electric motors) and separate non-ferrous and ferrous metals for subsequent processing or use; b) dispose of the remaining parts of the electric motor (motors) in accordance with the instructions for disposal of this material.

Manufacturing instructions for operating electric motors
To drive pumping equipment and draft mechanisms in boiler houses, as a rule, asynchronous single-speed squirrel-cage electric motors with a voltage of 380 volts are used.
The rated parameters of electric motors are power, voltage, current, rotation speed and power factor. The rated data of the electric motor are indicated on the shield (nameplate), which is attached to its body.
3.1. When turned on, the electric motor does not rotate, hums, or rotates, but very slowly. There may be several reasons:
- break in the stator circuit. To avoid burning out the electric motor, it is necessary to disconnect the starter or contacts;
- mechanical jamming in the engine or mechanism. To check that there is no jamming, you must turn the unit by the clutch by hand;
- unacceptable asymmetry of the gap between the rotor and stator;
- turn short circuit in the stator winding;
- Incorrect stator winding connection diagram.
3.2. During engine operation, increased heating of the rolling bearings was detected. There may be several reasons:
- Lack of lubricant due to leakage or drying out due to untimely replacement.
- Excess lubricant. Usually this defect is observed after repair. It is necessary to reduce the amount of lubricant so that it takes up no more than 2/3 of the free space.
- The appearance of defects in the bearing: cavities, actuation of rolling elements, destruction of the cage and its hitting the bearing race. The appearance of cavities, cracks, gouges in the working surfaces, cages, on balls or rollers of bearings is accompanied by the appearance of increased noise when the bearing rotates. The engine must be stopped for repairs as soon as possible.
- The operation of the separator is detected by the presence of traces of metal (sparkles) in the lubricant, as well as by a noticeable subsidence of the separator downward, touching the clips.
3.3. During engine operation, increased heating of the engine casing was detected. There are several possible reasons:
- Motor current overload. To reduce the load, it is necessary to close the pressure valve on the pump discharge or the control gate on the draft mechanism.
- Clogging of the protective nets in the end shields on the cold air supply side with dirt and dust.
- Clogging of ventilation ducts in the stator and rotor steel with dirt and dust.
- Insulation failure between the stator steel sheets.
- When the engine is running, sparks and smoke appear from it. Protection doesn't work. The most likely cause is the rotor touching the stator. It is necessary to turn off the electric motor in an emergency.
- Broken stator circuit when the engine is running. The engine will continue to run. At rated load, the current in one phase will become zero, and in the other two it will increase. To avoid overheating and overheating of the stator windings, the motor should be turned off.
- Strong vibration. If vibration exceeding the norm occurs, the engine must be taken out for repairs as soon as possible, and if vibration is strong and increasing, the engine must be stopped emergency.
- In the event of an accident with people or a breakdown of the drive mechanism, the electric motor is disconnected from the network. If an emergency shutdown of the electric motor occurs, the electric motor of the backup unit is switched on.
Restarting an automatically switched off electric motor is carried out only after it has been inspected. If, when the electric motor of a critical mechanism is automatically turned off, it is impossible to turn on the backup one, then after inspection it is permissible to turn on the turned off electric motor.
If there are obvious signs of a short circuit, accidents with people or breakdown of the mechanism, turning on the automatically switched off electric motor is PROHIBITED.
