ABNORMALITY
POSSIBLE CAUSES
CORRECTION
Stator winding becomes very
hot under load
Insufficient cooling due to dirty water
channels
Clean the water passage channels
Overload
Measure the stator current. Reduce the
load. Analyze the motor application
High number of starts or moment of inertia
too high
Reduce the number of starts
Voltage too high, therefore, the iron losses
increase
Do not exceed 110% of the rated voltage,
except when otherwise specified on the
nameplate
Voltage too low, therefore, the current is
very high
Check the supply voltage and the voltage
drop on the motor
Interruption in a power cable or in a winding
phase
Measure the current in all the phases and, if
necessary, correct it
Rotor drags against the stator
Check the air-gap, operating conditions
(vibration etc.), bearing conditions
The operating condition does not
correspond to the nameplate data
Keep the operating condition according to
the nameplate or reduce the load
Unbalance in the power supply (blown fuse,
wrong command)
Check if there is voltage unbalance or
operation with two phases and correct it
Dirty windings
Clean the windings
Rotation direction is not compatible with the
used fan
Check the fan regarding to the motor
rotation direction
Noisy operation when
uncoupled
Unbalance
Perform new balancing
Interruption in one phase of the stator
winding
Measure the current of all connecting cables
Fastening screws are loose
Retighten and lock the screws
The rotor balancing conditions become
worse after the assembly of the coupling
Balance the coupling
Resonance in the foundation
Adjust the foundation
Motor frame deformed
Check flatness of the base
Bent shaft
Check the rotor balancing and eccentricity
Air-gap is not even
Check shaft warping or rolling bearing wear
