One of the more elusive causes of three-phase compressor motor overheating and failure is an imbalance in voltage. Compressor voltage unbalance can be found with a voltmeter by measuring between ...
The inducer motor is a necessary component of modern, gas-powered, high-efficiency furnaces. If it's not working, the furnace ...
One of the more popular three-phase electrical services supplied to medium-size commercial buildings is the Wye or Star configuration transformer. The name comes from the transformer’s secondary ...
The vast majority of bearing failures in electric motors and electric motor-driven equipment are due to mechanical and thermal causes. However, currents that flow through induction motor bearings can ...
Bearing-related problems are among the most common causes of motor failures. Solving those problems will reduce motor failures. Did you know bearing-related problems cause more than half of all motor ...
The operation of an electric motor is typically simple and reliable, making it possible to overlook during day-to-day maintenance practices. Having a checklist makes it easy to know exactly what to ...
Build in a thermal safety margin to handle servomotors that heat up more than theoretical models predict when the torque cranks up. • The relationship between intermittent and continuous torque is ...
Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...
