attempt to perform maintenance procedures until you understand the Warning and Caution statements.
A Warning statement indicates a possible unsafe condition that can cause harm to personnel.
A Caution statement indicates a condition that can cause damage to equipment.
Baldor Electric motors are sold to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) companies who
provide motors and equipment containing these motors as their product offerings. Be sure to consult the OEM
documents for safety and regulatory information that is important to the application of these products.
Important: This instruction manual is not intended to include a comprehensive listing of all details for all
procedures required for installation, operation and maintenance. This manual describes general
guidelines that apply to most of the motor products shipped by Baldor Electric Company. If you
have a question about a procedure or are uncertain about any detail, Do Not Proceed. Please
contact Baldor Electric Company for more information or clarification.
Before you install, operate or perform maintenance, become familiar with the following:
• IEC 34−1 Electrical and IEC72−1 Mechanical specifications.
Safety Notice: This equipment contains high voltage! Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
Only qualified personnel should attempt installation, operation and maintenance of electrical equipment.
WARNING: Do not touch electrical connections before you first ensure that power has been disconnected. Electrical
shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the installation, operation
and maintenance of this equipment.
WARNING: Disconnect all electrical power from the motor windings and accessory devices before disassembling of
the motor. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you ensure
that all grounding instructions have been followed. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: Avoid extended exposure to machinery with high noise levels. Be sure to wear ear protective devices to
reduce harmful effects to your hearing.
WARNING: Surface temperatures of motor enclosures may reach temperatures which can cause discomfort or injury
to personnel accidentally coming into contact with hot surfaces. When installing, protection should be
provided by the user to protect against accidental contact with hot surfaces. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in bodily injury.
WARNING: Guards must be installed for rotating parts to prevent accidental contact by personnel. Accidental contact
with body parts or clothing can cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: This equipment may be connected to other machinery that has rotating parts or parts that are driven by
this equipment. Improper use can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt to
install operate or maintain this equipment.
WARNING: Do not by-pass or disable protective devices or safety guards. Safety features are designed to prevent
damage to personnel or equipment. These devices can only provide protection if they remain operative.
WARNING: Be sure the load is properly coupled to the motor shaft before applying power. The shaft key must be
fully captive by the load device. Improper coupling can cause harm to personnel or equipment if the load
decouples from the shaft during operation.
WARNING: Use proper care and procedures that are safe during handling, lifting, installing, operating and maintaining
operations. Improper methods may cause muscle strain or other harm.
WARNING: Pacemaker danger − Magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of current carrying conductors
and permanent magnet motors can result in a serious health hazard to persons with cardiac pacemakers,
metal implants, and hearing aids. To avoid risk, stay way from the area surrounding a permanent magnet
motor.
WARNING: Before performing any motor maintenance procedure, be sure that the equipment connected to the motor
shaft cannot cause shaft rotation. If the load can cause shaft rotation, disconnect the load from the motor
shaft before maintenance is performed. Unexpected mechanical rotation of the motor parts can cause
injury or motor damage.
WARNING: Adjustable speed controls may apply hazardous voltages to the motor leads after power to the controller
has been turned off. Verify the controller is incapable of delivering hazardous voltages and that the voltage
at the motor leads is zero before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution may result is severe bodily
injury or death.
WARNING: Thermostat contacts automatically reset when the motor has slightly cooled down. To prevent injury or
damage, the control circuit should be designed so that automatic starting of the motor is not possible
when the thermostat resets.
WARNING: RPM AC permanent magnet motors can induce voltage and current in the motor leads by rotating the
motor shaft. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Therefore, do not couple the load to the
motor shaft until all motor connections have been made. During any maintenance inspections, be sure the
motor shaft will not rotate.
Caution: To prevent premature equipment failure or damage, only qualified maintenance personnel should perform
maintenance.
Caution: Do not over−lubricate motor as this may cause premature bearing failure.
Caution: Do not lift the motor and its driven load by the motor lifting hardware. The motor lifting hardware is
adequate for lifting only the motor. Disconnect the load (gears, pumps, compressors, or other driven
equipment) from the motor shaft before lifting the motor.
MN441 1-1
Safety Notice Continued
Caution: If eye bolts are used for lifting a motor, be sure they are securely tightened. The lifting direction should
not exceed a 20 ° angle from the shank of the eye bolt or lifting lug. Excessive lifting angles can cause
damage.
Caution: Do not use the coupling to compensate for poor alignment. This can result in vibration, noise, coupling
wear, overloaded bearings and early failure.
Caution: To prevent equipment damage, be sure that the electrical service is not capable of delivering more than
the maximum motor rated amps listed on the rating plate.
Caution: If a Motor Insulation test (High Potential Insulation test) must be performed, disconnect the motor from
any Speed Control or drive to avoid damage to connected equipment.
If you have any questions or are uncertain about any statement or procedure, or if you require additional
information please contact your OEM.
Receiving Each Motor is thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for shipment.
When you receive your motor, there are several things you should do immediately.
1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the commercial
carrier that delivered your motor.
2. Verify that the part number of the motor you received is the same as the part number listed on your purchase
order.
Caution: Do not lift the motor and its driven load by the motor lifting hardware. The motor lifting hardware is
adequate for lifting only the motor. Disconnect the load (gears, pumps, compressors, or other driven
equipment) from the motor shaft before lifting the motor.
Handling The motor should be lifted using the lifting lugs or eye bolts provided.
1. Use the lugs or eye bolts provided to lift the motor. Never attempt to lift the motor and additional equipment
connected to the motor by this method. The lugs or eye bolts provided are designed to lift only the motor.
Never lift the motor by the motor shaft or hood.
2. If the motor must be mounted to a plate with the driven equipment such as pump, compressor etc., it may
not be possible to lift the motor alone. For this case, the assembly should be lifted by a sling around the
mounting base. The entire assembly can be lifted as an assembly for installation. If the load is unbalanced (as
with couplings or additional attachments) additional slings or other means must be used to prevent tipping. In
any event, the load must be secure before lifting.
Storage Storage requirements for motors and generators that will not be placed in service for at least six months
from date of shipment.
Improper motor storage will result in seriously reduced reliability and failure. An electric motor that does
not experience regular usage while being exposed to normally humid atmospheric conditions is likely to
develop rust in the bearings or rust particles from surrounding surfaces may contaminate the bearings.
The electrical insulation may absorb an excessive amount of moisture leading to the motor winding
failure.
A wooden crate “shell” should be constructed to secure the motor during storage. This is similar to an
export box but the sides & top must be secured to the wooden base with lag bolts (not nailed as export
boxes are) to allow opening and closing many times without damage to the “shell”.
Minimum resistance of motor winding insulation is 5 Meg ohms or the calculated minimum, which ever is
greater. Minimum resistance is calculated as follows: Rm = kV + 1
where: (Rm is minimum resistance to ground in Meg−Ohms and
kV is rated nameplate voltage defined as Kilo−Volts.)
Example: For a 480VAC rated motor Rm =1.48 Meg−ohms (use 5 MΩ).
For a 4160VAC rated motor Rm = 5.16 Meg−ohms.
Preparation for Storage
1. Some motors have a shipping brace attached to the shaft to prevent damage during transportation. The
shipping brace, if provided, must be removed and stored for future use. The brace must be reinstalled to hold
the shaft firmly in place against the bearing before the motor is moved.
2. Store in a clean, dry, protected warehouse where control is maintained as follows:
a. Shock or vibration must not exceed 2 mils maximum at 60 hertz, to prevent the bearings from brinelling.
If shock or vibration exceeds this limit vibration isolation pads must be used.
b. Storage temperatures of 10 °C (50 °F) to 49 °C (120 °F) must be maintained.
c. Relative humidity must not exceed 60%.
d. Motor space heaters (when present) are to be connected and energized whenever there is a possibility
that the storage ambient conditions will reach the dew point. Space heaters are optional.
Note: Remove motor from containers when heaters are energized, reprotect if necessary.
3. Measure and record the resistance of the winding insulation (dielectric withstand) every 30 days of storage.
a. If motor insulation resistance decreases below the minimum resistance, contact your OEM.
b. Place new desiccant inside the vapor bag and re−seal by taping it closed.
c. If a zipper−closing type bag is used instead of the heat−sealed type bag, zip the bag closed instead of
taping it. Be sure to place new desiccant inside bag after each monthly inspection.
d. Place the shell over the motor and secure with lag bolts.
4. Where motors are mounted to machinery, the mounting must be such that the drains and breathers are fully
operable and are at the lowest point of the motor. Vertical motors must be stored in the vertical position.
Storage environment must be maintained as stated in step 2.
1-2 MN441
5. 5200 motors with anti−friction bearings are greased at the factory. During storage, motor shafts are to be
rotated manually every 30 days and greased every 6 months in accordance with the Maintenance section of
this manual.
6. Coat all external machined surfaces with a rust preventing material. An acceptable product for this purpose is
Exxon Rust Ban # 392.
Removal From Storage
1. Remove all packing material.
2. Measure and record the electrical resistance of the winding insulation resistance meter 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 resistance is low, contact your
OEM.
3. Regrease the bearings as instructed in Section 3 of this manual.
4. Reinstall the original shipping brace if motor is to be moved. This will hold the shaft firmly against the bearing
and prevent damage during movement.

Acceptance Inspection
All motors should be inspected for damage prior to connecting the motor to an electrical supply. All covers should
be in place and access cover bolts torqued to their proper levels. On motors received with the shaft blocked by
the factory, remove blocking before operating the motor. If motor is to be reshipped, alone or installed to another
piece of equipment, the shaft must again be blocked against axial movement to prevent brinelling of the bearings
during shipment.

Section 2
Installation & Operation
Overview Before installing the motor, be sure you read Section 1 and become familiar with the Warnings and Cautions
to prevent damage to the motor and prevent injury to personnel. This is extremely important for a good
installation and to ensure trouble free operation.
Installation should conform to the National Electrical Code as well as local codes and practices. When other
devices are coupled to the motor shaft, be sure to install protective devices to prevent future accidents.
Some protective devices include, coupling, belt guard, chain guard, shaft covers etc. These protect against
accidental contact with moving parts. Machinery that is accessible to personnel should provide further
protection in the form of guard rails, screening, warning signs etc.
1. If the motor has been in storage for an extended period or had been subjected to adverse moisture
conditions, check the insulation resistance of the stator winding (see Checking Insulation Resistance in
section 3).
2. Examine the motor nameplate data to make sure it agrees with the power circuit to which it will be
connected. The motor is guaranteed to operate successfully at line frequency not more than 5%, and line
voltage not more than 10%, above or below the nameplate ratings, or a combined variation of voltage and
frequency of not more than 10% above or below nameplate ratings. Efficiency, power factor and current
may vary from nameplate data.
3. Check to make sure that direction of motor rotation is correct for the intended application.
Location It is important that motors be installed in locations that are compatible with motor enclosure and ambient
conditions. Improper selection of the motor enclosure and ambient conditions can lead to reduced operating
life of the motor. The motor must be located in an environment that satisfies local codes and National Board of
Fire and Underwriter’s regulations. For locations outside the USA., compliance with IEC requirements and other
regulatory agencies are required. The following additional considerations should also govern its location:
For open and protected motors the installation should be in a location that provides adequate space for air
circulation of the external cooling fan. Exposure to high ambient temperatures, humidity and atmospheric
contamination should be avoided. Acids, alkalis and gases also have detrimental effects on electrical
machinery. The location of installation should be accessible for routine maintenance and inspection.
If the room is not large enough to have natural ventilation, some external source of forced and filtered air will
be necessary. The room should be such that the heat developed during operation can escape and will not be
recirculated over the equipment.
Permanent handling equipment to facilitate major service and repair without complete disassembly of the
individual units should be considered.
If the motor must be moved or additional handling or shipment of motor be required, be certain to block the
shaft as it was blocked for shipment by the factory. Blocking the shaft, limits the rotor movement both axially
and radially which prevents damage to the bearings.
Pre Installation Checks
The assurance of successful start−up depends upon the use of good handling, inspection, and installation
practices.
Before shipment, every motor is given a running test to check operation. Although complete factory tests have
been made, motors should be checked for any change resulting from improper handling during shipment,
storage, installation or by an unsatisfactory foundation. Failure to check or do the necessary work as
mentioned above, could cause misalignment resulting in vibration and premature bearing failure.
Before the motor is checked for alignment, remove all shipping blocks and supports installed at the factory.
The shaft should turn over freely. The degree of accuracy required in the alignment depends on the rated
speed of the machine. The greater the speed, the greater the care and accuracy necessary in the alignment.
The motor must be level to maintain the proper oil level. Check the driven equipment to make sure that the
motor will be coupled to a level shaft. If necessary, level it up before coupling.
Caution: Do not use the coupling to compensate for poor alignment. This can result in vibration, noise, coupling
wear, overloaded bearings and early failure.
Vertical Mounted Motor
These procedures are for Vertical mounting of motors only.
1. Carefully lower the motor on to the pump flange. Position the motor to obtain the best possible alignment.
2. Motors are shipped with shaft extensions protected with a coating of slushing compound. This compound
should be removed by washing with a petroleum solvent such as Stoddard Solvent or similar solvents
available under various trade names.
3. After the motor is properly positioned for axial end play − and with the hold down bolts snug but not
tightened up − the motor must be checked for angular misalignment. The coupling hub should be
mounted by customer, but the coupling should not be engaged.
4. Clamp a dial indicator to the motor coupling hub, placing the probe against the end of the connecting
shaft. Mark the shaft at the point where the probe touches it, and turn both shafts, taking care to keep the
probe on the reference mark.
5. Note the dial indicator reading at 0 deg (starting point), 90 deg, 180 deg and 270 deg. Total angular
misalignment must not exceed .3 mil (0.0003”) per inch of coupling hub radius Maximum Permissible
Angular Misalignment = (Coupling Hub Radius) X (.0003)
6. Next, check for excessive shaft run out by using the accurately ground or machined diameter provided on
most coupling hubs. Set up dial indicator with the probe on the machined diameter. Mark the shaft at the
point where the probe touches it and turn both shafts taking care to keep the probe on the reference mark.
Electrical Connection
WARNING: Adjustable speed controls may apply hazardous voltages to the motor leads after power to the
controller has been turned off. Verify the controller is incapable of delivering hazardous voltages and
that the voltage at the motor leads is zero before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution may
result is severe bodily injury or death.
WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you
ensure that all grounding instructions have been followed. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal
injury. National Electrical Code and Local codes must be carefully followed.
Note: Conductors entering main power junction box must have a minimum of 100 °C cable jacket insulation
rating.
Use only a shielded motor power cable with complete circumferential braided or copper film / tape ground
jacket around the power leads. This ground should be secured to the motor frame from within the motor
terminal box and must return without interruption to the drive ground. In addition, if the motor and coupled
equipment ground are not on a single common metal base plate, it is important to equalize the equipment
ground potentials by bonding the motor frame to the coupled equipment using a high frequency conductor
such as a braided strap.
The user must select a motor starter and over−current protection suitable for this motor and its
application. Consult motor starter application data as well as the National Electric Code and/or other
applicable local codes.
A conduit box may be provided for the power lines to the stator and other conduit boxes for all other
electrical connections. Tapped holes are provided for grounding.
Grounding
WARNING: Failure to properly ground the motor may cause electrical shock hazard to personnel. Do not attach
ground lead to motor mounting bolt.
All large motors should be grounded with the grounding conductor equipped with a brazed copper terminal,
or with a suitable solderless terminal fastened to the motor. Soldered terminals should not be used. A washer
should be used between bolt head and terminal lug. The other end should be fastened with suitable clamps or
terminals to rigid metallic conduit or to the nearest available ground.
Ground conductor size should be in accordance with the National Electrical Code Table 250−95 or Table 16
Part 1 of Canadian Electrical Code. (Table 2−1 in this section).
Attachment to the motor should not be made under a flange mounting bolt.
Be sure that the motor leads are connected as shown on the connection nameplate (when supplied on the
motor) and that the power supply corresponds with the motor nameplate data (voltage, frequency and number
of phases). The motor will operate, but with modified characteristics when the line voltage is within plus or
minus 10%; the frequency within plus or minus 5% of the nameplate value; or combination of voltage and
frequency within +10% of nameplate.
WARNING: This equipment is at line voltage when AC power is connected. Disconnect and lockout all ungrounded
conductors of the ac power line before proceeding. Failure to observe these precautions could result in
severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Pre−Operation Check
Be sure that all power to motor and accessories is off. Be sure the motor shaft is disconnected from the load
and will not cause mechanical rotation of the motor shaft.
1. Verify that Hold Down bolts are tightened to the proper torque.
2. If the motor has been idle for a long period of time after installation, check insulation resistance.
3. Check the incoming power to be sure that line voltage, frequency and phase are correct for the motor
(refer to the motor nameplate).
4. Inspect all electrical connections for proper termination, clearance, mechanical strength and electrical
continuity.
5. Be sure all shipping materials and braces (if used) are removed from motor shaft.
6. Ensure alignment is correct and motor is properly lubricated.
7. Manually rotate the motor shaft to ensure that it rotates freely.
Caution: When driven equipment may be damaged by incorrect rotation direction, uncouple the motor from the
load and check motor rotation direction during initial start and be sure rotation is correct.
8. When the driven machine is likely to be damaged by the wrong direction of rotation, it is best to uncouple
the motor from its load during the check for rotation and/or during the initial start.
Some motors are designed for a single direction of rotation as indicated by nameplates. Running those
units in the wrong direction will reduce airflow causing overheating. Check to see that both the motor and
driven equipment are operating in the correct direction of rotation. If it is necessary to change rotation,
disconnect and lockout all input power and interchange any two input power phases.
9. Replace all panels and covers.
10. Check to see that coupling guards and other protective enclosures are not blocking the ventilating air into
the motor and exhaust openings.

WARNING: High Voltage may be present even when the machine is not rotating. Ensure that power has been
disconnected before touching the motor or any of its components. Electrical shock can cause serious or
fatal injury.
WARNING: Surface temperatures of motor enclosures may reach temperatures which can cause discomfort or injury
to personnel accidentally coming into contact with hot surfaces. When installing, protection should be
provided by the user to protect against accidental contact with hot surfaces. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in bodily injury.
WARNING: Pacemaker danger − Magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of current carrying carrying
conductors and permanent magnet motors can result result in a serious health hazard to persons with
cardiac pacemakers, metal implants, and hearing aids. To avoid risk, stay way from the area surrounding a
permanent magnet motor.
WARNING: Solvents can be toxic and/or flammable. Follow manufacturer’s safety procedures and directions. Failure
to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
Caution: Do not use solvents containing trichloroethane to clean interior or exterior of motor. Damage may occur to
paint and insulation systems.
Maintenance General
Prior to maintenance, the motor should be removed from service.
The motor should be inspected periodically for the build up of foreign material.
Any build-up of foreign material should be removed prior to energizing the motor.
If unusual bearing noise or vibration is experienced, the bearings should be replaced.
Inspections which are important to the proper motor operation and maintenance. Maintenance should be
performed every 3 months or 500 operating hours, whichever comes first.
In addition, the following should always be observed.
Provide adequate ventilation
Avoid sharp blows and excessive axial thrust loads on the output shaft.
Maintain proper lubricant level.
When properly applied, 5200 Frame motors require minimal routine maintenance. Since clearances and fits are precisely
machined, no periodic mechanical adjustments are required. Like any precision machine, periodic inspection and simple
routine maintenance will prolong your motor’s life and help detect potentially damaging conditions.
The minimal time spent performing simple maintenance cannot begin to compare with the cost of lost productivity
and time consuming major repairs incurred through neglect or routine inspection and maintenance.
Periodic Mantenance
Every 3 months or 500 operating hours, whichever comes first:
1. Listen for any abnormal noises and check cause immediately.
2. Check for excessive vibration.
3. Check to see that all covers are in place and secure.
4. Check for proper lubrication.
5. Check bearing temperature rise.
6. Check voltage and frequency variations. Unbalanced voltage or single-phase operation of polyphase motors
will cause excessive heating and ultimately failure. Even a slight unbalance of voltage applied to a polyphase
motor will cause large unbalance currents and result in over-heating.
7. Check power supply total harmonic distortion to avoid overheating. Periodic checks of phase, voltage,
frequency, and power consumption of an operating motor are recommended.
These checks can also provide an excellent indication of the load from the driven equipment.
Comparisons of this data with previous no load and full load power demands will give an indication of the
performance of the driven machine.
Bearing Lubrication
Cleanliness is important in lubrication. Any grease used to lubricate anti-friction bearings should be fresh and free
from contamination. Similarly, care should be taken to properly clean the grease inlet areas of the motor prior to
lubricating to prevent grease contamination.
Recommended Lubricant
Refer to motor nameplate for recommended lubricant. If none is shown, the recommended lubricant is
Mobil Polyrex EM. The following is a list of alternate lubricants.
Operating TEMP. –25 °C (−15 °F) to 50 °C (120 °F)
Mobil POLYREX EM
Use only clean, fresh grease from clean containers.
Do not mix greases unless compatibility has been checked and verified.
Grease Lubrication Procedure
Anti-friction bearings may be lubricated stationary with the motor preferably warm.
1. Locate the grease inlet, remove all caked grease and dirt from the fitting. There is one grease inlet per
bearing.
2. Add 3.5 CU.IN. (60 CUCM.) of the recommended lubricant per the motor Lubrication Nameplate using a hand
operated grease gun.
3. Start the motor and run with the relief plug open for several minutes. Some grease should be purged from the
grease drain pipe.

Renewal Parts The high productivity expected in industry today demands a well planned maintenance program. The success of
which often can depend on the number and type of spare parts on hand. Serious consideration should be given
to having all vital replacement components on hand to protect the units against costly down time.
A detailed parts list, which gives Baldor Electric Company recommendations for spare parts that should be
stocked for your motor, can be ordered.
Be sure to include complete nameplate data, purchase order number, serial number, model number, rating, etc.,
for your motor when ordering the spare parts list.
When ordering parts for which a part number is not available, give complete description of part and purchase
order number, serial number, model number, etc. of the equipment on which the part is used.

Accessories
The owner is responsible for conformance to national electric code and all other applicable local codes
and practices. Refer to Safety Notice in Section 1 of this manual.
Note: Motor is equipped with the following accessories only if ordered with the motor.
Internal Motor Sensors
Winding Temperatures (two per phase) 100 ohm RTDs (6 total).
A working seventh spare RTD may also be installed on some units.
Bearing Temperatures (two per bearing) 100 ohm RTDs (4 total)
Basic Troubleshooting
RTDs
1. If values displayed are exceptionally high (greater than 185 °C winding or 145 °C bearing temperatures) a
loose wire could be the culprit. All RTDs terminate on the terminal blocks within the auxiliary terminal box.
Confirm placement and secure leads.
No external surface temperature readings should ever exceed 200 °C or motor must be de-energized
and allowed to cool. Confirm proper water flow is going through motor.
2. Disconnect RTD from the terminal block and check resistance with an ohmmeter. Values of the RTD should
be less than 250 ohms. If resistance values show infinity then the RTD has failed or the wires between the
element and terminals are broken. Replace wires or RTD if possible. If resistance values show close to zero
or less than 100 ohms then check the leads you are measuring. Measure between the red and white leads (or
black and white leads on water RTDs).
Confirm that no external motor surface temperatures ever exceeds 200 °C.
