If we have a large MV motor fixed speed with forced lubricated sleeve bearings and the motor manufature is offering insulated bearings DE & NDE ( with DE earth cable )Does the oil inlet & outlet pipework which has ANSI / DIN flanges, do these flanges have to be insulated. And if so how are are they insulated.

Only one of synchronous motor bearings is grounded and the other has to be insulated. So, also the metallic conduit connected with. In my opinion a flexible rubber conduit grease resistant and suitable to required pressure could be inserted close to the bearing.
