MOTORS FOR HEAVY ELECTRICAL VEHICLES 1.2. Intended application The motor is primarily intended to be used for heavy electrical vehicle applications, as a traction motor, generator or auxiliary motor. It also fits as propulsion or auxiliary unit in Marine segment. Due to the nature of their electrical and mechanical operating conditions, improper installation or operation, as well as insufficient maintenance, could introduce hazards which could lead to severe bodily injuries or damages to property.
The motor is not designed, sold or intended for any use except as indicated above. Furthermore, it is not intended to be used outside of the motor specifications or limitations. The motor must be in good working order. If technical modifications are considered, they shall always be approved by ABB and be carried out by qualified personnel.
MOTORS FOR HEAVY ELECTRICAL VEHICLES 2. Product description The motor is an AC eight (8) pole motor of synchronous type. The motor features a tailored design, optimized for high energy efficiency and a competitive performance/weight ratio. The motor is actively cooled by a separate liquid cooling system which is connected to its integrated cooling pipe via inlet and outlet connectors placed on the frame.

MOTORS FOR HEAVY ELECTRICAL VEHICLES 2.1. Technical data The exact type designation and identification data are shown on the rating plate located on the motor, see Figure 1. An example of a rating plate can be seen in Figure 2. Figure 2.
The expected lifetime for bearings and external seals is not solely temperature dependent and operation at high stator winding temperatures will significantly impact the bearing grease needs to be evaluated based on the duty cycle. Please contact your local ABB sales office for lifetime.
MOTORS FOR HEAVY ELECTRICAL VEHICLES 3. Transportation and Storage 3.1. Transportation 3.1.1. Delivery to customer The motor is transported fastened to a pallet. Leave the motor on the pallet until it is time to place it in its working place, i.e., chassis. During short term storage, place the motor so that it is out of the way of any other goods being handled, and on a flat, vibration-free surface.
TrAnsPorTATIon And sTorAgE 3.1.3. Lifting of motor Warning - Heavy Components Risk of personal injury when lifting the motor. The weight of the motor is visible on the rating plate. Only skilled and trained personnel should carry out dismantling. NOTE: The lifting eye bolts are not included in the delivery as standard.

10 MΩ (measured with 500 V DC and corrected to 25°C). If the reference resistance value is not attained, the stator winding is too damp and must be oven dried. Please contact your local ABB sales office for technical support. NOTE: To avoid risk of electric shock, the motor frame must be grounded and the windings should be discharged against the frame immediately after each measurement.

MoTor InsTAllATIon In vEhIClE 4.1.3. Installation of motor in vehicle For dimensions involving the motor’s flange and side support, see the outline drawing. The product code is visible on the rating plate, see Figure 2. For side support mounting, see Figure 1. There are threaded M10 holes located on the D-end and the ND- end at 3, 6 and 9 o´clock.
MOTORS FOR HEAVY ELECTRICAL VEHICLES 4.2. Liquid cooling system installation Remove the protective covers from the cooling inlet and outlet threads (internal G 1/2”) and install the mating cooling connectors, see Figure 9. To prevent leakage, it is advisable to use a mating cooling connector equipped with an O-ring seal and apply thread sealant (Loctite 577 or similar) in the internal thread.
The motor needs an inverter to operate. The inverter must be able to supply 3 phase AC current and be capable of controlling the motor. The motor has been tested and optimized together with the ABB Abbreviations and nomenclature used in this manual: HES880 inverter.

MOTORS FOR HEAVY ELECTRICAL VEHICLES There is a dedicated earth point located on the motor, see Figure 11. Figure 11. Location of earth point and low voltage connector. The earth cable from the inverter or vehicle chassis must be installed in an appropriate way and be suitable for high frequency currents.
MoTor InsTAllATIon In vEhIClE 4.3.2. Low voltage connection The motor is equipped with a 21-pin low voltage connector, see Figure 11, Figure 12 and Table 6. Figure 12. 21 pins low voltage connector. Type Comment Harting 09 40 703 0950 Housing Harting 09 12 021 3001 Male insert...
However, it is not advisable to tow the vehicle without first disconnecting the motor from the wheels. When connected to the wheels, voltage can be generated which can be harmful to the motor and other components in the system. If the temperature sensors are not functional, please contact ABB before proceeding.
InsPECTIon And MAInTEnAnCE 6. Inspection and maintenance Carefully planned and carried out service and maintenance of the motor helps to maintain high reliability of the motor and avoid consequential damages. The use of recommended parts and tools is essential to warrant the correct servicing of the motor. Special tools, devices, liquids and lubricating media are necessary.
MOTORS FOR HEAVY ELECTRICAL VEHICLES 6.2. Inspection and Maintenance intervals NOTE: The need for maintenance can vary depending on local conditions. It is important to follow the recommendations to ensure a fully working motor. Action Interval Chapter Visual inspection Weekly 6.3.1 Detailed visual inspection 1500 h in operation or every 6 months*...
The bearings, see Figure 1, are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance. However, listen for any abnormal noise or increased vibration from the bearings and contact your local ABB sales office if such exist. The expected lifetime of the grease inside the bearing is dependent on the motor´s duty cycle and external loads.
MOTORS FOR HEAVY ELECTRICAL VEHICLES Warning – High pressure cleaning May introduce a risk of particles entering the eyes or skin. Use protective glasses and gloves. Follow the instructions from the manufacturer. Warning – Dangerous liquid May cause serious damage to the lungs if consumed. Dries out the skin.
PArTs And ConsuMABlEs 7. Spare parts and consumables Spare parts must meet the requirements defined by ABB. The warranty is only valid if recommended spare parts are used. Spare parts and consumables must be stored in a vibration-free, dry, moisture and dirt-free storage.

Smoke appears from the motor. Fire after flash-over or short circuit Disconnect the motor, remove it. Rewinding is in a part of the stator winding. most likely necessary, please contact ABB for further instructions. Motor current is abnormally high. Demagnetized rotor magnets.
In most countries the permanent magnets are not considered as hazardous waste and thus the motor can usually be disposed in the same manner as an induction motor. Please check the local laws and regulation and contact your local ABB sales office for more information.
