Anti-condensation heaters can be fitted to motors whose windings are exposed to climatic conditions where there is a risk of condensation, e.g. stationary motors in a damp environment or motors subject to considerable temperature fluctuations. Anti-condensation heating must not be switched on during operation.
Instead of an anti-condensation heater, another possibility is to connect a voltage that is approximately 4 to 10 % of the rated motor voltage to stator terminals U1 and V1; 20 to 30 % of rated motor current is sufficient to heat the motor.
