Safety
Basic safety instructions
In all experiments using mains voltages high, life-threatening voltages arise. For that
reason use only safety measurement leads and make sure that there are no short-
circuits.
It is imperative that all of the devices, which are provided with an earth or where
earthing is possible, must be earthed. This is particularly the case for the frequency
converter being used.
Always be very careful to check the wiring of the application modules and only
switch on the mains voltage after a check has been completed. Whenever possible
use a robust current monitoring instrument in the circuit.
Always use shaft-end guards and coupling guards as protection against contact
with rotating motor parts
All locally applicable stipulations and standards governing how electrical equipment
is handled must be complied with.

Safety
General instructions on handling the equipment

{ Check that the knurled screws at the base of the motor and the coupling
sleeves (power grip) on the motor shaft are all securely fastened.
{ Use shaft and coupling guards.
{ Any prolonged running of the machines when operating under high loads
can subject the machines to excessive heating.
{ The extreme case of the machine being prevented from rotating entirely
may only arise briefly.
{ All of the machines are equipped with a thermal circuit-breaker, which
triggers when the maximum permissible operating temperature is
exceeded. These switching contacts are accessible on the terminal
board and must always be connected to the corresponding connection
sockets of the mains supply and control unit.
{ All measurements have been recorded using conventional measuring
instruments (primarily class 1.5) at the standard mains voltage
(230/400V +5% -10% 50Hz) using standard production machines.
Experience suggests that measurements will lie within the tolerance
range of +/-15% with respect to the specified measurement. For more
information on this please refer to VDE0530.

Asynchronous motor
Training content: "Rotation reversal"

z Identify the difference between clockwise and anti-clockwise
rotation
z Put the motor into operation in both rotation directions
Definition of rotation direction

If you look at the drive shaft end of the asynchronous machine from the perspective
of the working machine (in our case the brake), the rotating direction is positive
when it is clockwise. If the motor has two workable shaft ends, then it is the shaft
end opposite the cooling vents, collector or slip-rings that is the shaft end which
defines the rotation direction.
Note: in the "Classic series" (0.3 KW & 1.0 KW) the rotation direction is
determined by the rotation direction of the brake, i.e. if the asynchronous machine
rotates clockwise, i.e. in the positive direction, the control unit of the brake indicates
a negative rotation direction. Thus the rotation direction displayed is always that of
the brake.
