Receiving Instructions
• Inspect the shipping container for damage before accepting the motor from the carrier.
Immediately report in writing any observed damage to the carrier.
• Check the motor nameplate data (HP, RPM, voltage, frame size, space heater, enclosure, etc.)
before start-up.
• If a shaft locking device/transit clamps for frames (284T-586/7) are installed on the motor for
transport, remove these and retain for future use. Reinstall again when transporting motor.
• Turn shaft by hand to be certain it rotates freely and listen for any sounds of mechanical
resistance like the fan rubbing on the fan cover. Check for debris or loose parts in the fan cover.
Warning
Safety precautions must be observed before installing, using, servicing and handling any WorldWide
Electric motor.During the installation and operation of our motor in an industrial application, there is
a danger of live electric parts and wires as well as hot surfaces and rotating parts. Therefore, please
carefully read, fully understand, and heed all instructions, warnings, cautions and safety notices.
Failure to do so could lead to personal injury, death and /or property damage.
Please review the following safety precautions:
• High voltage, rotating machinery and hot surfaces can cause serious or fatal injury if the motor
is improperly installed. Only properly trained, qualified personnel should perform installation,
operation and maintenance on equipment. Responsible personnel should be familiar with NEMA
MG-2, National Electrical Code, CSA C22-100 (C.E.C), IEC 364 (prEN5011-1) and all state and local
utility regulations and safety standards.
• When preparing to service the motor, all power sources to the motor and accessory devices must
be de-energized and disconnected and made inoperative. Allow all rotating parts to come to a
stop before servicing. Keep extremities, hair, clothing, foreign objects, etc. away from machinery.
Replace Junction Box cover after connection.
• Before the motor is re-energized, make sure that all safety guards are in place and that the shaft
key is removed before running the motor without a connected load.
• When working near machinery with high noise levels, proper protection must be used to reduce
harmful effect to hearing.
• Automatic reset/thermostat protection should not be used where an unexpected automatic
restart would be hazardous to personnel. Serious personal injury or death could occur.
• The frame of the machine must be grounded properly to protect against fatal injury to personnel.
Lugs included in J-Box.
• To protect against fatal injury to personnel, refer to NEC, CSA and local utility regulations and any
applicable local codes.

Storage
• For motors that will not be placed in service within six months up to 24 months of shipment date.
• Locate the motor indoors in a dry area (even temperature above -20°C), without sunlight, wellvented,
and free of dust or corrosive gas. Store motor off the floor on rubber mats, if possible. The
motor should not be stored near heat or cold source (i.e. boiler/freezer). Motor should be stored in
upright position.
• Measure and record the resistance of the winding insulation every 30 days of storage.
• The storage area should have less than 60% humidity and be free of shock or vibration. Vibration not
to exceed 2 mils max.
• Treat unpainted flanges, shafts and fittings with a rust inhibitor. If motor is supplied with space
heaters, apply appropriate power to the space heater (½ voltage).
• The shaft should be rotated 15 revolutions stopping at a different position every month to maintain
proper distribution of grease in the bearing cavity.
Removal From Storage
• Remove all packing material.
• Measure and record the winding insulation resistance at the time of removal from storage. The
insulation resistance must not be less than 50% from the initial reading recorded when the motor
was placed into storage. A decrease in resistance indicates moisture in the windings and necessitates
electrical or mechanical drying before the motor can be placed into service.
• If stored longer that 24 months:
• Shaft has been rotated every month - completely remove old grease and add new grease.
• Shaft has not been rotated every month - replace bearings
• Provide proper safety guards for personnel against possible failure of motor-mounted brake,
particularly on applications involving overhauling loads.
• The repair of Explosion Proof and VHS motors must be made by a UL certified/authorized EASA
service center that is certified by UL, CSA or other appropriate agency. Failure to comply will violate
hazardous duty certification in accordance with NFPA70 NEC article 500 hazardous location of electric
motors.
• To find a UL shop visit the EASA website at www.easa.com

Handling
• Use correct material handling equipment to avoid injury. Use caution when removing the motor
from its packaging. Sharp corners may exist on motor shaft, motor key, sheet metal and other
surfaces.
• Before lifting the motor ensure all eyebolts are properly tightened and the shoulders are in
contact with the base.
• Eyebolts provided on the frame are designed for lifting the machine only. Do not use these
eyebolts for lifting the motor with coupled equipment such as bases, pulleys, pumps, reducers,
etc.
Location
• ODP motors are intended for use indoors where atmosphere is relatively clean, dry, corrosive
free & well-vented.
• Totally enclosed motors may be installed where dirt, moisture, chemicals and/or dust are present
in an outdoor location.
• Explosion proof motors are intended for use in hazardous areas, NEC, article 500 classified by
Underwriters Laboratories, National Electrical Code, Canadian Standards Association, and IEC79
(EN50014 & EN50018).
• Mill and chemical duty TEFC motors are designed for installation in high corrosion or excessive
moisture, salty atmosphere and extremely hostile content in the environment.
• Standard TEFC motors are suitable for use in ambient temperatures between -20°C to -40°C with
low temperature grease to + 40°C and at elevations at or below 1000 meters (3300 ft ASL). For
temperatures higher or lower, please contact WorldWide Electric.

Mounting
• Make certain that the underside of the motor feet and/
or the flange is clean and free of dirt. It is imperative
that the motor be level. Remove any masking materials
or any rust inhibitive coating from the mounting
surface and shaft.
• All ball bearing motors, frame up to and including
NEMA 326T, can be mounted in all positions shown in
NEMA MG1-4.03, provided that the surface is stable and
solid and the drain holes are located properly. Roller
bearings are standard on crusher duty 404T-586/7
frames.
• When using a direct coupling, align motor shaft to
driven shaft as accurately as possible. Although a flexible coupling is designed to transmit power
with some angular and parallel misalignment, this will have an effect on the life of the bearings.
• The motor must be securely installed to a rigid foundation or mounting surface to minimize vibration
and maintain alignment between the motor and the shaft load. Failure to do so will cause vibration,
misalignment and/or bearing damage. The mounting bolts must be carefully tightened to prevent
changes in alignment and possible damage to the motor or equipment. These values are for medium
carbon steel bolts (identified by 3 radial lines 120° on the bolt head-ANSI grade 5). For low carbon
steel bolts (ANSI grade 2), use 50% of this torque (see TABLE #1).
• Remove drain plugs from the end shield or frame on totally enclosed motors. It is critical that the
motor be mounted with these at the lowest point of the frame. If the motor is to be mounted with
the feet in any position except down, these must be relocated to the appropriate position. Contact
WorldWide Electric for advice.
• The use of pulleys, sheaves, sprockets or gears on motor shafts is defined in NEMA MG1-14.07. The
application of v-belt sheave dimension on AC motors is shown in MG1-14.41.
• The pitch diameter must not be less than indicated in TABLE #2 and the maximum sheave width
must not exceed:
• A. (N-W) for narrow type (3V, 5V 8V) sheaves
• B. 2X (N-W)- ¼” for conventional type (A, B, C, D, E) sheaves
• C. N-W is the usable shaft length (IEC designation is dim. E)
• For sheaves ratios greater than 5:1 and center distances less than the diameter of the large sheaves,
refer the application to the WorldWide Electric office.
• Mount the pulley or half coupling to the motor shaft using non-impact method. Do not hammer on
the motor shaft as this will cause brinelling of the bearing, leading to premature failure of the motor.
• The motor is balanced using a half key; therefore the motor pulley or half coupling should also be
balanced with a half key. After mounting the coupling or the belt and pulleys, a guard must be placed
over all of the moving parts to protect against accidental contact or injury.
• Do not over tighten the belts as this will lead to an excessive overhung load on the motor bearings,
causing a significant reduction in bearing life and premature failure.

The wiring of the motor and controls as well as
the grounding and overload protection should
be performed in accordance with National
Electrical Code, CSA C22-100 (C.E.C.) and all local
and utility regulations and safety standards.
Installation should be done only by properly
qualified personnel.
Nameplate voltage and frequency should agree
with the power supply. Motor will operate
satisfactorily with supply voltage within 10%
of the nameplate value or frequency within
5% combined variation not to exceed 10%. 230

MINIMUM PITCH DIAMETERS
• Make certain that there is adequate space around the motor for ventilation. If using a belt pulley,
the ventilation opening at the rim of the pulley is essential for the motor’s cooling. All ventilation
openings must not be obstructed, and any wall or divider should be mounted a minimum of 30
inches (762mm) away from the motor.

Startup
• Disconnect the load when starting the motor, making sure the key is removed from the shaft. Check
direction of rotation. If rotation must be changed allow the motor to stop completely. Interchange
any two incoming power leads of a three-phase motor to change the direction of the rotation. See
wiring diagram.
• Note: If improper rotation direction is detrimental to the load, check the rotation or ‘bump’ the
motor prior to coupling the load to the motor shaft. When the motor is coupled to the load and
started, it should start quickly and run smoothly. If not, stop the motor immediately and determine
the cause. Possible causes are: low voltage at the motor, motor connections are not correct or
the load is too heavy. Check the motor current after a few minutes of operation and compare the
measured current with the nameplate rating.
• Motor with a service factor greater than 1.0 S.F. can be operated continuously with the current not
exceeding the nameplate value multiplied by the service factor.
• Example: 18.1 amps x 1.15 S.F. = 20.825 full load amps.
• When using AC motors with frequency inverters, be certain that the motor’s maximum speed rating
is not exceeded.
• Pay special attention to the temperature reading on the motor, the outside temperature or skin
temperature of the motor, as well as monitoring, and measure the inside temperature of the motor.
Note: the bearing temperature should not exceed 60°C. Surface temperature may exceed 90°C
(194°F)”
WARNING: Do not touch the exterior of an operating motor. The motor may be hot enough to be
painful or cause injury.
Electrical Connection
Connect the motor as shown on the connection diagram on the motor nameplate. Be sure to identify the
proper wiring diagram for the supply voltage of motor you are installing. If you have difficulty determining
the proper wiring diagram for your motor, please contact WorldWide Electric for assistance. If this motor is
installed as part of a motor control drive system, connect and protect the motor according to the control
manufacturer’s diagram. The wiring, fusing and grounding must comply with the National Electrical Code
or IEC and local codes.
NOTE: WIRE NUTS ARE NOT AN APPROVED TERMINATION METHOD

Testing
• If the motor has been in storage for a long period of time or has been subjected to adverse moisture
or extremely dusty/dirty conditions, it is best to check the insulation resistance of the stator windings
with a megohmmeter. Depending on the length and conditions of storage it may be necessary to
regrease or change out oxide bearings. If resistance is lower than 1 megohm, the windings should
be dried in one of the following manners:
• Bake in oven at temperature below 194°F until the insulation resistance becomes constant
for a minimum of 30 minutes. Constantly monitor the conditions.
• With the rotor locked, apply low voltage (approximately 10% nameplate voltage) and
gradually increase current through windings until temperature measured with thermometer
reaches 87°C (188°F). Do not exceed this temperature. Maintain this temperature until the
insulation resistance remains constant 30 minutes.
Maintenance
• When the motor is in operation, examine the motor at regular intervals (about 500 hours). Make sure
the ventilation openings are clear and unobstructed.
• Check the condition of shaft seals and replace if necessary.
• Check the condition of connections and mounting and assembly bolts.
• Check the bearing condition by listening for any unusual noise, vibration measurement, bearing
temperature, inspection of spent grease or SPM bearing monitoring.
Lubrication (Open Bearings)
The motor should be running when greased and drain plug removed. Safety notice: Over-greasing bearings
greatly increases bearing friction and can cause premature bearing and/or motor failure. See (TABLE #3)
for lubrication intervals and (TABLE #4) for lubrication schedule in hours. The L10 life of the bearings
subjected to routine maintenance is as follows: (a) belt drive applications 50,000 hours (b) direct coupled
applications 100,000 hours. Do not mix greases unless compatibility has been checked and verified.
Vibration Levels
Note: acceptable vibration levels at no load condition.
• NEMA MG1-7
• 2-6 Pole: 0.15 in/s peak
• 8 Pole: 0.12 in/s peak
