the 50 failure modes of electric motors ue systems

Motor protection depending on size and voltage level

Nov 20 2019Typically an electric motor has a service factor rating listed on its nameplate This number represents the continuous allowable load limit that can be maintained without sustaining damage to the motor For example a typical electric motor is designed to withstand a continuous overload of about 15% without sustaining damage and has a service

How Grid Frequency Affects Electric Power Generation

The frequency is directly linked to the speed of rotation of the generators The generators on the 50 Hz systems rotate at a speed of 3000 rpm This is because the rotor in the generator is a single magnet with two poles 3000 rpm is 50 revolutions per second or in every second the single magnetic field cuts the stator coils 50 times

Reliability Engineering Principles for the Plant Engineer

In our electric motor example if you assume a constant failure rate the likelihood of running a motor for six years without a failure or the projected reliability is 55 percent This is calculated as follows: R(6) = 2 718281828-(0 1* 6) R(6) = 0 5488 = ~ 55%

Jul 01 2015When an electric motor fails to start runs intermittently runs hot or continually trips its overcurrent device there my be a variety of causes Sometimes the trouble lies within the power supply including branch circuit conductors or motor controller Another possibility is that the driven load is jammed binding or mismatched

The Basics of Contactors

The NEMA selection process always results in a choice of a contactor you can use over a broad range of operating conditions For example you could use a NEMA Size 5 contactor to run a 50-hp motor operating at 230V or a 200-hp motor at 460V Using IEC standards however you can size contactors very close to their ultimate capabilities
