It is overloaded.

take the motor loose and see if it runs normally

if its on a machine that used to work check

bearings

misalignment

bent shafts

Why is the starting current high in DC motor?

The starting current is high because when the motor is not rotating no back-emf is generated, leaving the starting current to be determined by the armature resistance, which should be low.


Why would the blower motor on your 2000 Cherokee operate intermittantly and sometimes not at all no matter what the speed is set at?

A loose connection at the motor and/or bad ground at the blower motor. If it is getting current then the motor may have a bad spot/ high amp draw and need to be replaced.


What happend when you start motor without starter?

The windings of the motor will be gonebecause of high current diectly goes to the windings of motor.


Why the no load current is more in an induction motor because of high reluctance airgap?

due to high reluctance air gap magnetisation current is very high as a result no load current is more


Why you use DOL starter in starting of motor?

because of starting current of induction motor is very high and it damages the insulation of motor


What motors is used in railway engines for traction?

dc series motor :A series-wound DC motor has a low resistance field and armature circuit. Because of this, when voltage is applied to it, the current is high. (Ohms Law: current = voltage/resistance). The advantage of high current is that the magnetic fields inside the motor are strong, producing high torque (turning force), so it is ideal for starting a train. The disadvantage is that the current flowing into the motor has to be limited, otherwise the supply could be overloaded and/or the motor and its cabling could be damaged.


Why we connect high resistance in series to a motor?

Reduce current - reduce power.


How do you find out the total current in PCB?

a: usually taking the high side of the buss or the return and measuring the current


When does a motor draw current more than its rated current?

This is a good indication that the motor is being overloaded. If the motor load is belt driven, remove the belt and then check the motor amps. If it goes back to normal FLA then there is a problem with the driven load. If the motor amperage stays high check the motor bearings for the problem.


What is locked rotor in three phase induction motor?

A motors locked rotor current is the same as the motors starting current. This is the point where the voltage is applied to a non rotating motor, time cycle zero. Because the motor is not rotation and generating a back EMF to oppose the inrush current, the current will go as high as 6 times the running current of the motor.


What are components of a DC motor starter that can be affected by a high starting current if it is not limited?

armature


What will be the starting current of a 335hp Sqcage motor on no load?

Across the line starting of a motor can be as high as 300% of the full load amps.
