ABB Motor Lubrication Guidelines

The document discusses lubrication intervals for ABB HV induction motors. It states that 99% of ABB's motors will achieve normal service intervals based on the L1 lubrication principle, where values are available from ABB. Motors are pre-lubricated with high-quality grease stamped on a plate, and have relubrication nipples to allow greasing while running. Tables provide lubrication intervals in duty hours for different motor sizes, speeds, ambient temperatures, and bearing types. More information is available in ABB's High Voltage Process Performance Motors Manual.

The lubrication interval is defined by following the


L1-principle. This means that 99% of ABB's motors will
achieve the normal service intervals. Values for the lubrication
intervals can also be calculated according to the
L10-principle, which are normally doubled compared to
L1-values. Values are available from ABB on request.
Lubrication
On delivery, the motors are pre-lubricated with high quality
grease. The grease grade is stamped on the lubrication plate
fastened to the motor frame. See page 20 for an example of
a lubrication plate.
More information about lubrication and greases can be found
in ABB's High Voltage Process Performance Manual delivered
with the motor.
Motors with relubrication nipples
Motors are lubricated while running and the bearing system
on all high voltage motors has been built so that a valve disc
can be used for lubrication.
The grease outlet opening has closing valves at both ends
that should be opened before greasing and closed 1-2 hours
after regreasing. Closing the valves ensures that the
construction is tight and dust or dirt cannot get inside
the bearing.
The table below gives lubrication intervals for different speeds
(according to the L1-principle). The values are valid for
motors using the synthetic base oil mentioned in ABBs High
Voltage Process Performance Motors Manual.
For more information, see ABB's High Voltage Process
Performance Motors Manual.
