Operation
Trouble Shooting
Between regular maintenance inspections, be
alert for signs of motor trouble. Common
symptoms are listed in the following table.
Correct any trouble immediately and AVOID
COSTLY REPAIR AND SHUT DOWN.
TROUBLE
POSSIBLE CAUSES
CORRECTION
Motor will not start.
Usually line trouble. Single phasing at starter.
Check power source. DO NOT check with motor
energized! Check overloads, controls and fuses.
Check voltage and compare with nameplate rating.
Under Voltage.
Check voltage at motor terminals. Compare to
nameplate.
Excessive Load.
Disconnect motor from load to see if it starts without
load. Reduce load or replace motor with unit of
greater capacity.
Excessive hum.
High Voltage.
Check input voltage. Check for proper connections.
Unbalanced rotor.
Balance rotor.
Excessive wear of bearings.
Replace bearings. Check to determine cause of
wear and replace as necessary. Check alignment.
Regular clicking.
Foreign matter in air gap.
Remove foreign matter.
Rapid knocking.
Bad anti-friction bearing or dirt in lubricant.
Replace bearing, clean wells and renew lubricant.
Vibration.
Misalignment in coupling or flange.
Realign motor and driven equipment.
Accumulation of dirt on fan.
Clean motor.
Vibration in driven machine.
Run motor disconnected from driven load and check
for vibration. Eliminate source in driven equipment.
System natural frequency (Reed critical).
Twisted base or flange
Excessive end play.
Shaft bent or flange face runout.
Alter rigidity of base structure.
Check flange alignment and shims.
Adjust end play.
Straighten or replace shaft. Reface or replace
housing.
Vibration following motor
repair.
Rotor out of balance; balance weights of fans
shifted on rotor.
Balance rotor.
Motor overheating. (Check
with thermocouple or by
resistance method, do not
depend on touch).
Overload.
Measure load and compare with nameplate rating.
Check for excessive friction in motor or complete
drive. Reduce load or replace motor with unit of
greater capacity.
Single phase.
Check current, all phases.
Dirt in motor.
Check flow of air. Check
filters, if so equipped. Clean motor.
Unbalanced voltage.
Check voltage, all phases.
Rotor rubbing on stator.
Check air gap. Repair motor as necessary.
DANGER
Hazardous
voltage.
Will cause death, serious injury,
electrocution or property damage.
Disconnect all power before working on
this equipment.
