Overview
Tests, test bay
The Siemens Ruhstorf site is equipped with an ultra-modern test
bay to enable it to fulfill the stringent requirements of the
chemical industry and the oil and gas sector. The quality and
reliability of the tests is also confirmed, for example, by the
certification authorities for Ex motors. The in-house motor test
bays are equipped for testing the complete range of options of
the 1PS and 1MD5 motor series in accordance with the latest
standards and regulations. Each motor is subjected to a short
routine test prior to delivery. Type testing, warm-up runs and
special tests are possible. The testing capacities are subdivided
into two test units according to motor power. The power
classification is shown in the following diagrams.
Tests are organized on the site ranging from acceptance tests in
the presence of the customer through to system acceptance
tests with supply equipment such as transformers and convert-
ers. Special tests are possible on request in accordance
with customer specifications or standard tests such as API com-
pliance. In our submersion tanks, motors to IP68 can be sub-
merged in water and tested under load conditions.
Noise measurements are performed on request in a soundproof
room. Under normal circumstances, noise measurements are
performed under no-load conditions. On request, the measure-
ments can also be taken under load conditions. So-called
"hold points" can be agreed in addition to the possibilities offered
by the test environments. These "hold points" are time points in
which semi-finished/finished motor parts are tested in accor-
dance with requirements. These tests are performed at the
installed test sections of the production facility or, if necessary,
in the test bays.
