MAINTENANCE

With proper application and installation of

monitoring devices, periodic inspection of motor

seals is not required. Should a malfunction occur

the motor has been equipped with a moisture

detection system and thermal protection which

will provide advance warning of impending

failure allowing the user to plan a maintenance

program before failure occurs.

GENERAL NOTES: ALL PARTS

1. Reliancer Submersible Motors utilize an

explosionĆproof Class I, Groups C and D,

tandem seal design, with an oil chamber

separate from the winding area.

2. Wound Stators - Reliance Submersible MoĆ

tors utilize a wound stator which has been

pressed into the frame. The stator insulation

system has been designed for the temperaĆ

ture and electrical rating involved. If the motor

failure is analyzed to encompass a winding

failure, return the motor to an authorized ReĆ

liance Electric Service Shop.

3. Encapsulated Lead Connector Assembly -

The lead connector assembly has been

especially encapsulated to insure integrity of

the motor. The connector can be removed

from the motor in order to reconnect leads.

Should the lead connector assembly be

damaged or the integrity of the encapsulation

be in question, it is required that a replaceĆ

ment lead connector assembly be ordered

from Reliance Electric Company.

MOTOR MAY CONTAIN GAS UNDER
PRESSURE DUE TO HIGH TEMPERA-
TURES FROM OPERATION WITHOUT
BEING SUBMERGED. DISASSEMBLY
MAY CAUSE BODILY INJURY. FOR ASSIS-
TANCE CONTACT A RELIANCE OFFICE.

MOTOR INSPECTION

for 30 seconds minimum to one minute

maximum to allow seals to seat; then check for

oil leakage. In some cases, a slight oil mist will

appear around the seal. Wipe clean after test.

PAINTING AND SHIPPING
Before painting motor, cover exposed seal.

Remove any paper, tape, etc., from seal area

before crating motor. These motors can be

shipped in shaft up or shaft down position. Care

must be taken that exposed seal is not damaged

during shipment. Carton must protect exposed

seal from dirt, dust and damage.
