Daily Maintenance of Explosion-proof Motor

1. Daily Inspection

  • Check the operating temperature, current and voltage of the motor, and prohibit operation beyond the rated value.

  • Monitor the operating condition to ensure no abnormal noise and severe vibration.

  • Check that the explosion-proof shell is intact without cracks, deformation or damage.

  • Tighten all connecting bolts to ensure the joint surfaces are closely fitted.

  • Clean surface dust and sundries to keep heat dissipation and ventilation smooth.

2. Key Maintenance of Explosion-proof Parts

  • Strictly protect the explosion-proof joint surfaces to avoid collision, scratch and corrosion.

  • Do not polish or modify the joint surfaces at will; replace accessories in time if damaged.

  • Ensure the cable entry device is well sealed, and the sealing ring is free from aging, damage and looseness.

  • Keep the inside of the terminal box clean without sundries, with firm wiring to prevent sparking caused by looseness.

  • All explosion-proof fasteners shall be complete, and ordinary screws shall not be used as substitutes.

3. Lubrication Maintenance

  • Fill the bearings with special lubricating grease regularly with appropriate oil quantity.

  • Shorten the lubrication cycle for motors working in high-temperature and dusty harsh environments.

  • Prevent excessive grease overflow from polluting internal circuits and explosion-proof surfaces.

4. Electrical Safety Maintenance

  • Check the insulation performance regularly to eliminate hidden dangers of electric leakage and short circuit.

  • Prohibit phase-loss operation and long-term overload operation.

  • Ensure the grounding device is firm and reliable, and the grounding resistance meets explosion-proof standards.

  • Check lines for aging and damage, and ensure wiring complies with the requirements of explosion-proof sites.

5. Operation and Storage Specifications

  • It is forbidden to disassemble or modify the motor without authorization in flammable and explosive places.

  • Operate start and stop smoothly to avoid impact damage caused by frequent starting.

  • Cut off the power supply in time after shutdown, and disconnect the main power supply completely before maintenance.

  • Carry out moisture-proof, dust-proof and anti-corrosion sealing for long-term idle motors, and conduct regular trial operation.

  • Do not replace with non-original explosion-proof accessories to avoid loss of explosion-proof performance.

6. Prohibited Items

  • Do not change the rated parameters and internal structure of the motor at will.

  • Do not apply thick paint or thick glue on explosion-proof surfaces to avoid affecting explosion-proof tightness.

  • Stop the machine for inspection immediately in case of overheating, abnormal noise or peculiar smell; prohibit operation with faults.
