ON-LINE VISUAL INSPECTION PROCEDURES AND CHECKLIST
FOR SYNCHRONOUS MOTORS

Scope This procedure defines the requirements and methods for performing on-line
(energized) visual inspections for Induction Motors as follows:
E061J = Motors: < 1000V Synchronous
E061K = Motors: 1000V< V <6900V Synchronous (brushless type)
E061L = Motors: 1000V < V < 6900V Synchronous (brush type)
E061M = Motors: > 6900V Synchronous (brushless type)
E061N = Motors: > 6900V Synchronous brush type

Safety Safety is an integral part of all jobs. As such, all applicable Corporate and site-
specific safety and loss prevention practices and procedures shall be rigidly
applied in the execution of the work described in this standard. It is the
responsibility of the lead person administering this Practice to assure that such
safety related Practices/procedures are identified and followed by all involved.

Because of inherent dangers in any high voltage work, special care must be
taken to safeguard personnel in the inspection of this equipment. Use of
personal protective equipment is mandatory when performing these job tasks.

Visual Inspection Perform the following visual inspections on the motors per the interval described
(VISIN1) Checklist by the Condition Based Electrical PPM web site.

Motor #(s): Date:

Item Inspection Results

Visual inspection of motors. Look for:
Excessive corrosion
Oil leaks
Proper anchoring of the motor to the foundation.
Signs of water dripping out of the terminal boxes
(Do not open the terminal box)
1
Proper shrouds over couplings.
Any mechanical damage
Excessive/noticeable vibration
Signs of excessive heating
Good clean air ventilation covers.
Proper external grounding of the motor.
For synchronous motors with brushes, look/check for:
Brush wear
2
Arcing
Good clean brush holder system
Visual inspection of the exciter system. Look/check for:
No status alarms on exciter systems
3
Proper functioning indicators/LED’s
Clean environment around the exciter package
