Today, we discuss the Air Gap in a motor. Air Gap issues occur during the offset of the rotor and stator, which is why it is so important to regularly inspect and rotate motors.
Although not an actual fault zone, the machine train is considered an important peripheral that is attached to and affects the motor. Listen to this episode to hear Todd and Noah go into detail about the machine train.
In this episode, we discuss the tangible, moving part of the motor; the rotor. It is the rotating part of the asset which is very important in the success of the motor.
In this episode, we talk about the Charlie Brown fault zone: Insulation. Back in the 1840's, one of the first forms of insulation which was developed to prevent electricity from getting to a person or ground, was glass.
Today, we talk about IEEEs (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers), our favorite standard of reference when talking about establishing alarms and limits.
Learn the benefits of trending average inductance on an electrical motor to find rotor bar issues. This case study involves a motor which could not be replaced due to its unique design. Investigating the rotor bar health in a timely manner saved the automotive manufacturer approximately $350,000.
