Comprehensive range of accessories
Accessories
We offer a large selection of accessories, e.g. for measuring,
protection, termination, lubrication and mounting of the motor.
Accessories include PT-100 sensors, earth fault protection
relays, surge arrestors, CTs, rotor telemetrics, sole plates and
anchor bolts. Certain accessories are included as standard,
depending on the size and type of motor.
Terminal boxes
A separate main terminal box is mounted on the side of
the motor, featuring bus bars outside the motor frame and
allowing connections from any specified direction. The neutral
terminal box is typically mounted on the opposite side of
the motor from the main terminal box. For auxiliary and
instrument cables, separate auxiliary terminal boxes are
supplied as required.
Testing is fully integrated into manufacturing processes
Testing forms an integral part of our manufacturing
process. Tests – including quality monitoring, inspections
and insulation reliability evaluations – are performed on
components as they progress from one manufacturing
stage to the next. In addition, every motor undergoes a
comprehensive set of final tests before dispatch in order
to verify that it meets the customer’s requirements in all
respects. The results of this final test are compiled into
a report which is supplied to the customer once testing
is completed.
All tests are performed according to IEC 60034 unless
otherwise specified. Testing according to NEMA MG 1,
IEEE-115 or classification society requirements is
available on request.
Routine tests
The routine test program is performed on every motor
and is included in the price of the motor.
Type tests
Type tests are performed in addition to the routine tests.
They are normally performed on one machine in a series of
motors not previously manufactured, or at the customer’s
request.
Special tests
Special tests may be conducted to verify performance
in special conditions. They may, for example, be based
on customer specifications, hazardous area or marine
classification society requirements.
