Given the importance of bearings in the normal functioning of electric motors, it is no wonder that insufficient maintenance and even basic lubrication can make them responsible for 67% of…
Avoid Motor Breakdowns With These 5 Testing Tools And Methods
When it comes to motor testing, the most important thing to remember is that it should not be done only when a motor is acting up but rather as part…
Grease Incompatibility And How It Leads To Motor Failure
Electric motors use rolling-element bearings responsible for supporting the rotor, maintaining a consistent air gap between the stator and rotor, and transferring load from the shaft to the motor frame.…
How Electrical Testing Leads To Solid Transformer Performance
Testing is vital to ensure a transformer runs properly and efficiently. And while the cheapest and most common testing for transformers is generally oil testing, their results are often questionable.…
Transformer Maintenance: The Importance Of Visual Inspections
Industrial organisations invest heavily in the electrical systems of their plants and spend just as much every in their upkeep. But in this article, we go over a tip that…
5 Disastrous Winding Issues To Look Out For In 3-Phase Motors
When a three-phase motor suffers burned windings, it is vital to always identify the real cause behind this problem before replacing it. The appearance of the windings will be different…
The Common Issues To Expect When Using AC And DC Motors
Many issues can affect AC and DC motors, leading to equipment inefficiency or failure if their root causes are left unresolved. These problems can develop in both used and new…
