Abstract

This paper discusses factors that affect the longevity and durability of an induction motor. Various topics include overall construction of an induction machine and its major components, field and operating conditions, motor vibration, operating temperatures, installation practice and proper motor selection for special environment and application conditions. Sound machine design, proper selection of the motor to suit the application, proper field installation, and good maintenance are key factors essential for long term motor reliability and its performance.
