Best Answer

Too much load, or too weak of a supply. When a motor is initially started, it will pull a higher than normal amount of current. A sag may occur if the supply is too small, and then it should rebound after a short period of time. If the voltage stays low, either the supply is well undersized, or the motor is pulling more current than it should (either the load is too heavy for the motor or the motor is damaged or dirty).

What causes speed drop in motor?

1) If current, at 'on load' condition, reach or cross its rated value, then the speed of the motor will be decreased. 2) If there is any voltage droop occurs in the incoming supply then the speed of the motor will be decreased.


Where is the speed sensor that causes the speedometer to drop to zero and causes the transmission to drop to a lower gear?

What causes the drop of a wall cloud?

A wall cloud marks an area of low pressure within a mesocyclone. The pressure drop causes a temperature drop, which in turn causes water vapr to condense.


Describe the steps you take to troubleshoot a 3 phase 480 volt motor that continually trips the heaters?

Start by checking the motor current when the motor is running under load with a clamp on amp meter. If it is over nameplate rating, check and find out if the load the motor is driving is somehow dragging and creating more load that normal. 98% of the time it is the load seizing up that causes motors to trip. Drop the load off the motor and see if the motor runs under nameplate amperage. If it does that is good. Check for loose connection in the motor contactor and around the overload heater block. Check and make sure the overload heaters are set to the FLA of the motor. As a last resort megger the motor to make sure one of the phases has not grounded out.


What causes sudden voltage drop in houses incase of ac?

Often, this is due to a sudden increase in the load current due, for example, to the the starting current of a motor which has been switched on -this causes a temporary increase in the voltage drop along the line, which is often noticed when the lights in a property temporarily dim. Other causes could be due to external sources, such as a neighbour operating welding equipment.

What causes engine coolant levels to drop?

Evaporation, coolant runs through the hot motor and some of it turns to steam, other reasons may be that there is a small hole in the radiator or the hoses.


How does nuclear decay affect the atomic number and mass number of a nucleus that changes after undergoing decay?

Beta+ decay and electron capture causes the atomic number to drop by one. Beta- causes the the atomic number to rise by one.Proton emission causes the atomic and mass number to drop by one.Neutron emission causes the mass number to drop by one.Alpha decay causes the atomic number to drop by two and the mass number to drop by four.
