There’s a huge range of diagnostic tools available for pinpointing motor issues - clamp-on ammeters, temperature sensors, Meggers, winding analyzers and oscilloscopes, just to name a few. Basic Motor Testing Parameters and Tools: Primary Analysis
Troubleshooting and monitoring these elements before diving straight into repair can go a long way in reducing costs, labor needs, and downtime, while also providing better security against future failure, since you’ll be better equipped with the necessary information to plan efficient maintenance and upkeep. Sometimes the motor itself has developed a fault - a burnt wire, a broken or bad connection, a winding failure, or a deterioration in critical insulation or bearings. Sometimes the load is jammed, binding, or mismatched. Sometimes motor trouble originates from the power supply, branch circuit conductors, or motor controller. So when a motor fails to start, runs intermittently, produces large amounts of heat, routinely trips its safeties, or operates unreliably, it’s key to isolate the underlying cause of the problem by evaluating basic system levels and conditions.
Various elements, including alignment, ventilation, vibration, and lubrication levels, can impact the health of your electric motor. Even basic diagnostic testing can allow for major cost and time savings, reducing the need for maintenance, repairs, and overall labor needs. To keep these variables in check, regular motor testing and monitoring are critical. To have an efficient electric motor running means more than just adequate performance energy efficiency, operating cost, life span, and system reliability are all interconnected with overall motor health.
