D. Description of Labels and
Nameplates
Motor rating and identification data are furnished on
labels and nameplates. Packing nameplates provide a
permanent record of motor characteristics, plant
identification and date of manufacture. Below is an
example of a label that is attached to the shipping
package.
MOD: 5KS184SAA305D
KW: 1.5
RPM: 1170
VOL: 230/460
ENCL: TEFC
FR: 184T
MASS: 45.8 KG
SERIAL # EDFT148U02
Figure 1: Packing Label
MOD – GE model number
KW = Motor power rating
RPM = Motor speed at full load
VOL – Motor voltage
ENCL = Enclosure code
FR = Frame size
MASS = Motor mass
SERIAL = Motor serial number
E. Model and Serial Numbers
As discussed in section D, every motor that is
manufactured by GE Energy has a model and serial
number, which are permanently marked on the motor
nameplate.
When contacting a GE Energy Service
Shop or representative, please provide to the model
and serial numbers.
Data and information regarding an individual motor
model can be obtained from the Data Pack for the
motor or through EliteNet or by contacting your local
GE Energy representative.
F.
Relevant Standards
Motors shipped with this installation instruction have
been designed and built to the following standards to
the latest revision:
NEMA MG-1
Motors that have the IECEx designation have also been
designed to meet the requirements of the following
standards:
9262MC02
CE

IEC and/or BS/EN 60079-0
IEC and/or BS/EN 60079-15
II.
RECEIVING
Each shipment should be carefully inspected upon
arrival.
Motor rating and identification data are
furnished on a packing label for verification purposes.
Any damage should be reported promptly to the
carrier and a claim filed. The nearest GE Energy sales
office may provide additional guidance.
A. Unpacking
If the motor has been exposed to low temperatures,
unpack it only after it has reached the temperature of
the room in which it will be unpacked. Otherwise the
motor windings will be exposed to condensing
moisture.
B. Temporary Storage
(Up to 6 Months)
If the motor will not be put into service immediately,
certain precautions should be taken to protect the
motor while in storage. It is recommended the motor
be placed under cover in a clean, dry location.
During storage, windings should be protected from
excessive moisture by some safe and reliable method
of heating, such as space heaters, to keep the
temperature of windings above the temperature of the
surrounding air.
It is recommended the motor in
storage be inspected at periodic intervals, the windings
meggered and a log kept of pertinent data. (Refer to
the OPERATION section.)
insulation resistance should be investigated.
Precautions are taken by the factory to guard against
corrosion. The machined parts are coated to prevent
rust during shipment. If the equipment is to be stored,
examine the machined parts carefully for rust and
moisture and recoat where necessary.
Motors with oil-lubricated or oil-mist lubricated
bearings are normally operated and tested in the
factory with a rust-inhibiting oil in the lubrication
system.
A rust-inhibiting film remains on critical
bearing surfaces during transit and for up to six
months in storage. However, when the machine is
received, it is recommended that the bearing oil
reservoirs on sleeve bearing motors be filled to the
proper oil level with a good grade of rust-inhibiting oil.
Rotate the shaft of two-bearing machines (10 to 25
revolutions) until the journals are thoroughly coated
with oil.
