Basic design

• Cooling method: 
  IC 411 in accordance with standard IEC 60034-6 – motors cooled by an external fan.
• Direction of rotation:
  Bidirectional. 2 poles motors for frame size 450 and above are unidirectional (customer must define sense of rotation with the order).
• Electrical connection:
  LV: The terminal boxes are provided with 6 terminals, to connect the motors to the mains supply, allowing the star/delta starting. For currents higher than 1090A 12 terminals are used. MV/HV: The terminal boxes are provided with 3 terminals, to connect the motors to the mains supply.
• Terminal boxes:
  The main terminal box is located at top of motor frame and can be rotated by 180º to suit cable entry from left or right hand side. As standard, the supply cable entries are on the left hand side when viewed from shaft end. Note: customer must refer cable entry direction with order.
• Protections/Auxiliaries:
  As standard the W22XB Low Voltage motors are fitted with 3 PTC thermistors, (triple, 2 wire), connected in the main terminal box. As standard the W22XB Medium and High Voltage motors are equipped with 2xPT-100/phase (3 wires), 1xPT-100/bearing (3 wires) and space heaters, connected in an auxiliary terminal box. Under request the motors can be fitted with more than one auxiliary terminal box.
• Earth connection:
  All motors are equipped with an earth connection inside of terminal box. A second external earth connection is also provided on motor frame, on foot or on flange, depending on mounting form.
• Terminal box entries and cable glands:
  As standard, the motors are not supplied with cable glands and the number of entry holes and respective dimensions are described on outline dimensions tables. However, considering that the cable entry makes part of the protection enclosure it is recommended that the motors are supplied from factory fitted with cable glands. For this it is necessary to specify with the order the complete cabling details (number of cables, specification, section and diameters), so that the motors can be supplied from factory fitted with suitable glands.
• Bearings:
  As general rule, W22XB motors are equipped with deep groove ball bearings in both sides for horizontal mounting form. Some arrangements foresee the use of roller bearing in NDE or 3 bearings mounting. W22XB vertical motors are equipped with deep groove ball bearings in both sides up to frame size 355 and with an angular contact bearing in DE side for frame sizes 400 and above. For horizontal motors is available roller bearing execution in drive end side defined according to the radial loads involved on the application. For vertical motors is available for all motors angular contact bearing execution in drive end side defined according to the axial loads involved on the application. As optional motors can be supplied with sleeve bearings execution.
• Lubrication:
  The motors are equipped with grease relief valves and relubrication nipples.
• Balancing:
  The motors are dynamically balanced with half-key to meet the vibration limits of standard IEC 60034-14, Grade A. Grade B can be provided under request.
