Technical Manual delphi series motors rev. 06 Page 1 OF 19

 Technical characteristics
Rotomotive motors are built according to international standard regulations for universal use;
each frame size throughout the construction is calculated with reference to the tables of
Indian standard IS : 1231, IS:2223 & International standard IEC 72-1;
The mounting position as per IS : 2253 and IEC 34-7, are B3, B5, B14, B35.

Rotomotive asynchronous three-phase are closed and externally ventilated. Frames up to

and132 included, are made in die cast aluminium alloy, from frame 160 the frame is made in
cast iron. All technical details, performance data and dimensions, are detailed in the product
catalogue and in www.rotomotive.com

 Electrical and thermal protections

Protections must be chosen based on the specific running conditions, according to standards
EN 60204-1 (for Flame proof motors, see also EN60079-14 and EN61241-14).

External protections

It is possible to have:

1. Protection against overloads. A thermal cut-out relay, which

automatically controls a knife switch.

2. Protection against peak currents by magnetic relay that

controls an automatic knife switch, or by fuses; these must be set to the locked rotor current.

3. if the application requires protection against excessive speed of the electric motor, for
instance if the mechanical load may drive the electric motor itself and thereby create a
hazardous situation.

4. If special conditions or synchronized operation with other machines or parts of machines

require it, protection against power failures or dips by means of a minimum voltage relay
that controls an automatic power knife switch.

Technical Manual delphi series motors rev. 06 Page 3 OF 19

 Inner thermal overload cut-out switches
(per CEI 2-3/IEC 34-1)

The electrical protections on the motor power line may not be sufficient to protect against
overloads. If the cooling conditions worsen, the motor overheats but the electrical conditions
do not change. This inhibits line protections. Installing built-in protections on the windings
solves this problem:

Bimetallic thermal overload protection (TOP)

This is a normally-closed electromechanical device that
opens when the threshold temperature is reached; it
automatically resets when the temperature falls below
the threshold level. Bimetallic devices are available
with various operating temperatures and without
automatic reset, per EN 60204-1.

Tr= Opening temperature (motor stops)

Ti= Re-closing temperature (motor works again)

PTC thermistor
And all motors from frame 160 to frame 355L are equipped with
3 PTC thermistors in the winding, with temperature intervention
of 120-130°C in Class F motors (standard) (150-160°C in
H Class motors,)

 Size 160-400
PTC position Ti= activating temperature PTC cable gland

PT100
This is a device that continuously, increasingly adjusts its resistance
according to the temperature. It is useful for constant measuring of
the winding temperatures using electronic

In compliance with IEC34-1, all motors can be exposed to overload

conditions of 1,5 times the rated current for 2 min and 1,6 times the
rated torque for 15 sec (at rated V and Hz)

According to IEC34-1 norm, all motors withstand a temporary overload of 1.5 times the rated
supply system must then not be able to automatically restart the motor.

Technical Manual delphi series motors rev. 06 Page 5 OF 19

 Electrical connection
The operations for the connection to the electric network (valid for auxiliary circuits, too)
must be performed in compliance with the following indications:
• any operation on the plant must be run by trained personnel;
• the motor must be disabled and isolated;
• make sure that a casual start can not occur;
• make sure that there is no voltage;
• If the network does not sustain the direct input voltage, the motor can be started by means
of a star/delta commutator, which is possible
only in motors where the connection of the winding for rated voltage is delta.
• the electric connection must be made in order be long-lasting and safe;
• assure correct dimensioning of power supply cables
• make sure that in the box for the connection there is neither foreign bodies, nor dirty/humid
parts. Close the unused cable glands and tight terminal box lid in order to prevent the
entrance of dust and water;
• when testing without output components secure the keyway;
• in motors with brake (AT.. series), please verify the brake switching before the starting
process;
• you can change to counter-rotation an be obtained by interchanging the two phases

Delphi series three phase motors can be connected “Star” or “Delta” .

Star connection

Star connection is obtained by connecting together the

terminals W2, U2, V2 and supplying the terminals U1, V1,
W1.

Delta connection

Delta connection is obtained by connecting the end of a

phase with the beginning of the following one.

Start

Before starting make an overall check of the motor to make sure that all the indications about
installation have been applied. In particular
• make sure that the voltage of the motor is equivalent to the one expected (see motor plate)
and
• check the union of the connecting link, close all its dies and secure the cover of the terminal
board without damaging the gasket;
• verify the free rotation of the motor shaft manually;
• check if there is voltage in all the phases and eventually measure their value to check their
conformity to the plate values.

 Working conditions
Humidity: The electrical equipment must be able to work with a
relative humidity between 30 and 95% (without condensation).
Damaging effects of occasional condensation must be avoided by
adequate equipment design or, if necessary, by additional measures
(for example, built-in heating device, drainage holes). The winding
are vacuum pressure impregnated (VPI process, evaporation free,
medium category), and are therefore suitable for tropical climates

Altitude and temperature: the powers indicated are intended for regular use
at altitudes below 1000 mt above sea level and a temperature between +5°C and +40°C for
motors
having a rated power below 0.6 kW, or between -15°C and 40°C for motors having a rated
power equal
to or greater than 0.6 kW (IEC 34-1): For higher altitude and/or temperature the power
decreases of 10%
each 10°C of higher temperature, and of 8% for each 1000 mt of higher altitude. It is not
allowed to use
motors designed for explosive atmospheres in environment temperatures out of -20°C and
+40°C range.

Voltage - Frequency: The maximum variation of the supply voltage is +-10%. Within this
tolerance
Rotomotive motors supply the rated power. Within such range, the temperature rise of the
motor can fluctuate
up to +/-20°C

Insulation: the stator winding is made of resin coated copper wire and insulation materials in
F class,
that provide high protection against electrical and mechanical stresses.
The max temperatures (Tmax) for insulation classes defined by EN 60034-1 standard are
Class ∆ T (°C) T max (°C)
A 60 + 5 ° 105
E 75+5° 120
B 80+5° 130
F 105+5° 155
H 125 180

The temperature rise of the Delphi series is class B or lower, much under the limits of F class
motors, thus permitting a longer motor life.

 Rain shield

For outdoor applications with V5 – V18 – V1 – V15 installation(shaft down), we recommend to

mount a rain shield. This configuration may also be used in textiles processing industry.

 AT.. Delphi series
Delphi ATDC, AT24, and ATAC series are of electromagnetic type and normally OFF i.e. the
braking action is occurs in the absence of power supply. The brake insulation class F.
All brake assemblies are protected against corrosion by painting or heat galvanizing and
resined winding.

AT24 series motors use DC electromagnetic brakes with 24Vdc input type which can be
operated through an inverter(usually having 24Vdc port).

Two different types of adjustment are possible for motors ATDC ,AT24 and ATAC motors.

S air gap adjustment

For proper operation, the air gap S between electromagnet (7) and the mobile armature (1)
must be between the following indicated limits:
Motor type Motor type S air gap
S air gap (mm)
(ATDC /AT24) (ATAC) (mm)
63~71 0.40~0.50 63~71 0.2
80-~160 0.50~0.60 80-~160 0

The adjustment is made by using the threaded bushes (10), using a thickness gauge to
ensure that the required air gap is maintained.

Braking torque adjustment

The braking torque can be increased by tightening the adjuster screws (9)(ATDC/ATAC)
motor) or on the knob(11)(AT24 motor). The setting has already been made by Rotomotive at
the max value, and therefore we suggest to not to intervene on it

Technical Manual delphi series motors rev. 06 Page 10 OF 19

ATDC brakes are DC brakes power supplied by a rectifier
installed inside the motor main terminal box.The
performance of all brakes, in terms of Watt,Nm and speed
in mSec are shown in Rotomotive website
www.Rotomotive.com

The following table chart shows the tensions on the

rectifier and the brake of ATDC model

(Vac)
ATDC63-100 220-280 99-126
ATDC 112-160 380-480 171-216
Unless there’s a different request of the client, Rotomotive supplies ATDC brake motors with
the rectifier already connected directly to the main terminal block of the motor, in order to
permit to the motor switching to act at the same time on the brake.
Manual release

Rotomotive brake motors are supplied with the manual

release lever in their standard version. If not wished, the
lever is like a screw, that can be taken away simply turning
it.

IP
AT.. brakes are IP66 under an electrical point of view,
but mechanically, in case of an outdoor use, they
should be protected by rust and by disc adhesion
effects given by humidity. In such a case, we suggest
to use our protective rubber ring seals

This device prevents the exit or ingress of dust,

humidity, dirt, etc., out of or into the braking area.

It is inserted into the groove on the stator. If your

brake doesn’t have such a groove, you must order
a specifically machined brake for that.

In order to safeguard the braking torque, it is

necessary to clean periodically the parts inside
the rubber ring seal by the dust created by the disc lining.

Technical Manual delphi series motors rev. 06 Page 11 OF 19

 Assisted power cooling
For applications where the motor will be operated below frequency of 25Hz and above 60Hz,
the appropriate assisted power cooling must be mounted as there are too many variables
involved to determine the various possible thermal duties and thus the temperature reached
by the motors.

 Encoder
According to the requested ventilation, encoders can be mounted by Rotomotive in the 2
following ways. Rotomotive recommends the encoder types that it selected. Their features
can be communicated upon request.(Only for OEMS)

Earth connection
Earth connection can be done either inside the terminal box (Fig.1) or by using the screw on
the housing (Fig.2). This last connection can be requested when the cable going into the
terminal box is a 3 wires cable, without the earth one, or when prescribed by some norms, or
to connect in series several motors earth by connecting their frames each other, or in
customized motors without terminal block and terminal box. Fig. 1

 Transportation, conservation, use and maintenance
• Rotomotive dispatches the motors in packaging suitable for any kind of transportation.
Before any maintenance intervention make sure that the power supply of the motor is off
disabling it.
• Use only original spare parts following the indications provided in the catalogue for the
motors
• The motor must be conserved in covered and dry ambient, without the presence of
vibrations or dust, a temperature higher then -15°C.
• The exposed parts, like flanges and the shaft drive extremity, must be protected by lubricant.
It is opportune to rotate periodically the shaft in order to ensure a long-standing complete
lubrication of the bearings.
• The motor must be installed and used by qualified people that know the safety
requirements. Also the installation must happen in dry climate and protected by atmospheric
agents. The working temperature and humidity must be within the limits described in the
previous paragraph “working conditions”. Motor dismantling and assembling must be done
by qualified people. Any intervention on the connection box must be done only after having
disconnected the power supply.
• Eventual inspections must be done with proper tools, avoiding means that could damage
the motor. It is opportune to make periodical inspections, to guarantee the best working
conditions and making: motor cleaning, fan cooling verification, eventual abnormal noise
and vibration identification. In this last case, check the bearings (see tab.1) and, if
necessary, substitute them, as well as the rubber seal rings.

Finally, verify the correct fixture of the motor on the flange or on the feet.

Installation precautions
For the installation of the motor please consider the following:
• make sure that no damages have occurred during transportation.
• carefully remove the components of the plant from the wrapping material and any other
protective devices.
• make sure that the value of the voltage on the rating plate is the same as the voltage of
mains.
• the surfaces in contact with the electric bonding and the rating plate must not be varnished.
• set the motor on a flat surface;
• make sure that the bearings or the flange are well fixed and that in case of direct joint the
motor is perfectly aligned.
• make the rotor rotate manually in order to verify the absence of any dragging.
• verify the rotation sense removing the joint.
• key (extract) the output components (i.e. joint, belt pulley, etc.) only using apt devices
(shrinking-on). Avoid not allowed tension on the pulley (ref. catalogue par. technical sheet).
• in the models in which the shaft is with the end downwards, use the protective cover. If the
end of the shaft is upwards, use a cover preventing any penetration of external parts into
the fan.
• do not hinder ventilation. The discharged air, together with the air coming from other
groups, must not be immediately re-aspirated.
• verify the correct grounding of the motor

Bearings lubrication (DELPHI 3PH)
Motors with rugged bearings, that are self-lubricating for life,
do not require any lubrication. Bearings life vary from 3 up to
5 years according to the axial and radial loads that are
charged on the shaft and to environmental conditions the
motor is used in.
Motors from size 180 provided with the bearings lubrication
unit are to be lubricated while running according to the
lubricating intervals and the grease quantity as per table 2.
On roller "NU" bearings and oblique contact "7.." bearings,
the lubrication intervals timing is half
