To keep inrush current to a minimum, use a reduced voltage and energize slowly, Check for any signs of excessive vibration or higher than normal currents. If all appears in order, bring the motor to full rated voltage. Continuously monitor the stator current to ensure that it does not become excessive.

      H. After reaching rated voltage, monitor bearing temperature and vibration. Verify that shaft-mounted blowers are moving air in the correct direction. For sleeve bearings, check that the oil rings are free and that the lubricant is reaching the bearings surfaces.
