Solutions for Motor Faults

No matter sludge dewatering machine, mechanical screen or sludge scraper, when faults happens, we need to first judge whether the motor is causing the problem.

Next, we will present some common faults of motor and solutions.


Problem -1: Motor can not start or reach nominal parameters

Main Cause Solutions
Fuse burnout, switch or power supply problems Check the voltage of the power supply and working condition of power supply
There is a break in the stator winding Use megohmmeter check the stator winding
Winding and external cutting-out, poor contact Inspection of Rotor Winding and Its External by Megohm Meter
Should be connected as “Δ” indeed as “Y” Connect in the right way
Overload of motor Check the driving condition of the motor load


Problem -2: The motor starts with a loud noise, a large starting current and a large difference in three-phase current.

Main Cause Solutions
One of the six lead wires in the three-phase winding has the opposite connection between the beginning and the end. Adjust wiring


Problem -3: Three current imbalances.

Main Cause Solutions
Three current imbalances Measure power supply voltage
Partial coil short circuit in stator winding Measure three currents
After overhaul, part of coil number error Use the double bridge to measure the number of turns of each coil winding
After overhaul, some coils were wired incorrectly Change wiring according to correct wiring method


Problem -4: Bearing overheating

Main Cause Solutions
Bearing damage Change bearing
Too tight or too loose fit between shaft and bearing Reprocessing when too tight, hard chromium plating on shaft surface when too loose
Improper assembly Reassembly
Too much or too little lubricant, or poor oil quality Add proper amount of lubricant or change oil
Both end caps and bearing caps are not flattened Adjust assembly


Problem -5: Amperometer pointer swing back and forth in operation.

Main Cause
Solutions
One-phase wire break of winding rotor Repair or replace short circuit piece
Cage rotor broken bar Check short circuit point


Problem -6: Electrical leakage

Main Cause Solutions
No grounding wire or poor grounding contact Connect the line as required
Damage to dampness or insulation of windings Dry or replace insulation


Problem -7: Large no-load current

Main Cause Solutions
Power supply voltage is too high Adjust voltage
Corrosion or aging of silicon steel sheets Overhaul iron core
The stator coil number is not enough Rewinding stator


Problems -8: Abnormal vibration or noise

Main Cause Solutions
Poor foundation or assembly Check basic condition and motor installation
Bad assembly or defective bearing Check or replace
Rotor core modification and shaft bending Replace rotor and adjust
Local short circuit fault of winding rotor Measuring open circuit voltage of rotor
Stator core silicon steel sheet is not compacted tightly Reinforce
