Anybody has experience to operate electric motor for 3 years continuously nonstop. If yes what is the bearing type?
just want to hear that it is possible to run motor with that capacity non-stop for 3.5 or more years ( without any single stop)
It had better be. Compressors that large are the "heart & soul" of many refinery processes and they don't have backups. They have to last five years between scheduled turn arounds. I wasn't involved with the mechanical & rotating equipment group so I can't cite the proper API Stds off the top of my head.Is the compressor able to run for that long with no maintenance shut downs?

As far as I know, every NEMA motor manufacture for motors this size is fully capable. Virtually every one of them had input on the API Standards I mentioned. Several European and a few Japanese manufactures did too.Too bad everything made today wasn't that reliable!
