1. Purpose
This procedure provides a safe, standardized approach for the initial inspection, checkout,
testing, and data documentation of electric motors used to drive rotating equipment.
2. Scope
This procedure is applicable to the RSAE project Site and covers all motors. It applies to
AC MV and AC LV motor used to drive rotating mechanical equipment. Motors used as
operators for valves, gates, dampers, etc. are not within the scope of this procedure.
This procedure shall be implemented during initial uncoupled/unloaded operation of
applicable equipment, as well as during the initial coupled/loaded operation. However, it
may be used at any time during equipment operation.
3. Definitions

Project
: Gazprom Neftehim Salavat Acrylic / Acid Plant
Company
: Gazprom Neftehim Salavat
Construction
: Renaissance Construction (RC)
Supplier (Manufacturer/Vendor) : The supplier (Manufacturer/Vendor) is the party
that manufacturers or supplies equipment and services to perform the duties specified by
the Company or Contractor.
The word SHALL indicate a requirement.
The word SHOULD indicate recommendation.

Drive End (DE) - The end of the motor from which the shaft protrudes and is coupled to
the driven equipment. It may also be referred to as the inboard (IB) end of the motor.

Non Drive End (NDE) - The end of the motor that is opposite the DE. This end of the
motor usually has the motors cooling fan attached. It may also be referred to as the
opposite drive end (ODE) or outboard (OB) end of the motor.

Bump - To start and immediately stop a motor from a Local Control Switch or temporary
remote signal instead of DCS signal to verify direction of rotation.

Rotation - The rotation of a motor as viewed from behind the NDE, standing with line of
sight in-line with the rotor, looking toward the drive shaft of the driven equipment.

Magnetic Center - That position of Sleeve bearing type motor rotor where the magnetic
forces acting on the rotor are in balance during operation. In large motors during initial
run-in, the magnetic center is marked to allow positioning of the rotor at the magnetic
center for coupling alignment. Placement of the rotor at the magnetic center assures that
no thrust from the motor is transmitted to the driven equipment via the coupling.

6.3 Pre-Run Tests

6.3.1 The insulation of the motor windings and power cable should be meggered.
6.3.2 The winding resistance and the applied voltage shall be measured phase to earth.
6.3.3 Support systems, such as lube oil or cooling water, shall be placed into operation.
6.3.4 The motor shaft shall be manually rotated (if possible) to ensure that the rotor
moves freely, without rubbing.
6.3.5 Phase rotation may be initially checked using a motor phase rotation meter for any
motor. However, an initial check by actual motor rotation (bump) is mandatory for motors
because driven equipment that might be damaged by reverse rotation:
a. Supply the Lockout/Tagout on breaker of power supply.
b. Connect the leads of the phase rotation meter to the motor terminals at the motor
terminal box or feeder (load) terminals for the motor at the starter or switchgear.
c. Slowly rotate the motor shaft (rotor) in the proper direction of rotation for the driven
equipment and verify that the phase sequence on the meter matches the phase sequence of
the line (supply) connections.
d. If the phase sequence indicated on the meter does not match the design (line) phase
sequence, interchange the motor leads of two phases at motor internal wire.
NOTE: If leads need to be swapped all labels, tags, markings, etc. need to be revised to
match issued drawings.
e. Recheck the phase sequence of the motor winding using steps b. and c. above and
record the sequence on the Motor Data Record.
f. Remove the Lock out / Tag out.
6.3.6 For a motor supplied from a load center or switchgear bus, place the breaker in the
operating position (racked-in). For a motor equipped with a starter and supplied from a
motor control center and/or distribution panel, place the breaker in the closed position.
Verify that the motor space heaters, if supplied, are energized and note their operation in
the comment section of the Motor Data Record, Exhibit 1.
NOTE: Space heaters must energized for the minimum amount of time required by
the manufacturer prior to attempting a motor start. If no guidelines are given the
heater should be energized for 8 hours prior to attempting the start.
6.3.7 After the preliminary rotation verification all motors must be bumped for a final
verification of proper rotation.
6.3.8 Ensure that the safety switch adjacent to the motor is function checked before
starting motor.

frequency settings.
6.4.6 Check that the motor bearings are being properly lubricated (e.g. bearing oil rings
are rotating, no excessive foaming, levels are correct). Monitor bearing temperatures as
the motor is run in. When they have stabilized, record the measurement.
6.4.7 Monitor motor winding temperatures, if available. When they have stabilized,
record measurements on the Motor Data Record, in the comment section.
6.4.8 Take vibration data as required. Refer to Equipment Vibration Testing Procedure.
Vibration readings that exceed limits may result in motor damage, and operation may
have to be secured.
6.4.9 Verify temperature, current, and vibration readings against any local or remote
indications.
6.4.10 Verify magnetic centre position indication, if applicable. Apply new mark after
vendor's confirmation if necessary.
