5 - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Incident
Possible cause
Remedy
Abnormal noise
Originating in motor or machine being driven?
Uncouple the motor from the equipment being driven
and test the motor on its own
Noisy motor
Mechanical cause
: if the noise persists after switching
off the power supply
- Vibration
Check that the key conforms to the type of balancing
- Damaged bearings
Change the bearings
- Mechanical friction
Check the coupling and ventilation
Electrical cause
: if the noise stops after switching off
the power supply
Check the power supply at the motor terminals
- Normal voltage and 3 phases balanced
Check the terminal plate connection and that the
connectors are tight
- Abnormal voltage
See drive documentation
- Phase imbalance
Check the winding resistance
Motor heats up
abnormally
- Faulty ventilation
Check the environment
Clean the ventilation grilles (or filters)
Check the forced ventilation motor electrical
connection
If necessary, check the temperature sensors are
working correctly (optional)
- Faulty supply voltage
Check
- Overload
Check the current consumption against that indicated
on the motor nameplate
- Partial short-circuit
Check the electrical continuity of the windings and/or
the installation
- Phase imbalance
Check the winding resistance
Motor does not start
At no load:
- Mechanical locking
- Broken power supply line
When switched off:
Check by hand that the shaft rotates freely
Check the fuses, starting device, electrical and thermal
protection (optional).
On load:
- Phase imbalance
When switched off:
Check the direction of rotation (phase order)
Check the resistance and continuity of the windings
Check the electrical protection
