Malfunction in Induction Motor

Check the outside of the motor.

• Broken mounting holes or feet
• Darkened paint in the middle of the motor
• Evidence of dirt and other foreign matter having been pulled into the motor windings through
openings in the housing

NO No any out
damages

Service the specific outside damages YES

Check the windings for short circuiting to the frame using

by Insulation Resistance Tester (mega ohm meter)

There is a short circuit between stator

winding and the casing. Need to rewind it
NO If reading
won’t be
with proper insulating methods( windings
Zero
should be bound & varnished in a proper
way)
Yes

Check the windings for short circuiting between two windings using by
Insulation Resistance Tester (mega ohm meter)

NO If reading
won’t be
Zero

Need to replace insulation papers between each winding or rewind

the stator using recommended insulated wires to avoid the short Yes
circuiting

Check the windings in order to find whether there are failures

within each individual windings by using ohm meter

NO If reading
Rewind the stator according to the recommended methods Show nearly
to the Zero

Yes
If the motor
Check the rotor
NO whether there is
any damages
NO rotate smoothly(
without
vibrations) using
happen by hand

Yes

Replace the rotor

Yes

Plug & Run the motor

Isn’t there
any unfamiliar
sound or
vibrations

NO
Ok. Motor Yes
is in good Analyze the motor using
condition the analyzer
