Title :
Determination of motor quality through routine electrical tests
Author :
Soukup, George C.
Abstract :
Types of mechanical and electrical tests that can be performed on fully assembled motors are described. The associated benefits (along with the corresponding costs) of these tests, are identified. These tests are normally run to ensure the motor(s) will run and/or perform as specified when delivered to the job site. However, many of the tests can be run in response to existing onsite problems to isolate or identify the cause. Recommendations are given for 100-3000 hp motors and should be applied based on the nature of the application
