The motor overheats | Shihlin Electric

1. Causes of failure ① The power supply voltage is too high; ② The power supply voltage is too low, the motor is running with a rated load, and the current is too high to make the winding heat; ③ When the winding is repaired and removed, the thermal disassembly method is improper and burns the iron core; ④ The motor is overloaded or frequent Start; ⑤ Motor lacks phase, two-phase operation; ⑥ Insufficient varnish is set on winding after rewinding; ⑦ Environment temperature is high, there is much dirt on the motor surface, or the air duct is blocked; 2. Trouble shooting ① Reduce the power supply voltage (such as adjusting the power supply transformer tap); ② Increase the power supply voltage or replace the thick power supply wire; ③ Repair the iron core to eliminate the fault; ④ Reduce the load; Control the start according to the prescribed times; ⑤ Restore the three-phase operation ; ⑥ Adopting secondary dipping and vacuum dipping process; ⑦ Cleaning motor, improving ambient temperature, adopting cooling measures Find quick answers in the Shihlin Electric FAQ—selection, wiring and troubleshooting for circuit breakers, magnetic contactors, AC drives, servo, HMI and PLC control.
