Motors

Moving and wear parts in motors are not the only thing that can cause premature failure. Increased motor loads, high ambient temperatures, dirty or adverse operating environments, abnormal power and others all have an effect on the operation and overall health of an electrical motor. Regular testing and maintenance can play a big role in the longevity of a motor and the components that keep it operational.

If you are experiencing abnormal or premature motor failure, give us a call. We can assist with troubleshooting your system and look for ways to improve reliability. System components to consider should include: reduced voltage or soft-starters, motor overload protection, variable frequency drives, circuit breakers, vibration, connections, motor insulation, bearings, slip rings, rotors and stators. Sometimes minor adjustments or corrections can make all the difference.
