the main reason is the amount of current flowing in the motor's winding is huge (over current) that why temperature begins to build up, continues using may end up to a burned motor. over voltage, defective bearing / bushing, shaft misalignment, defective insulation are some of the reason why motor experience over current.

How much can an induction hob cost?

The price of an induction hob varies by make, model, and other specific features. Induction hobs can be in the price range of approximately $200.00 to well over $2,000.00.


What is the advantages of induction motor?

Yet another advantage of electric induction motors is their ability to be connected directly to the AC source. This may not mean much in household uses, but in industrial uses, this can be an important cost saver. Since the basic electric design has graduated into an electronic one over the years, an induction motor is easy to program for its various uses. The initial cost of installing it may be a little high, but it will save money in the long term because of the low maintenance cost and durability of the product. Moreover, it is a flexible design which allows innovations and newer technologies to be incorporated easily without incurring extra costs or necessitating


How is thermal overload protection done in stator windings of motor?

one way is to use RTD sensor put inside the motor windings. The RTD sensor is connected to an electronic thermal overload relay. This type of relay can provide running temperature of the motor, on the electronic thermal over load relay display panel. RTD sensor is a wire wound resistor that changes resistance depending on the temperature


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 is the importance of speed control of DC motor in industrial applications?

The speed control of the DC motor is important because its speed can be changed over a wide variety of simple methods which is not possible in an AC motor.

What are the advantages of open end winding induction motor over conventional induction motor?

Open ended induction motor - i assume you are talking about split phase induction motor. With these motors old style speed controlling method using external resistors can be used. However this is now obsolete.


If a three phase induction motor runs at a speed greater than synchronous speed?

When an induction motor is pushed over synchronous speed it will become a generator and will deliver power back to the utility.

What causes a 5HP 240 volt electric motor to get hot?

If a motor is operating above the 40 degree C nameplate rating, it is probably overloaded. Overloaded motors will draw more current than they should. Check the amperage to make sure that it in not over the nameplate current rating.If you have the ability to check the motor's frame temperature with a laser temperature reader use it as it is hard to tell just by touching the motor with your hand.


Causes of motor going out?

Over load, misalignment, no maintenance. water / moisture entry


Why one phase shows 0 Amps while a delta connected 3 phase induction motor runs?

Cause 2 phase is applied to the motor and another phase is disconnected ... in this condition ur motor cannot run longer ,it will trip on over current or burn ur motor winding .

How do you calculate derating of squirrel cage induction motor when operating at higher ambient temperature than mentioned on name plate?

There is no "slam dunk" answer for calculating the derating of a motor operated beyond its manufacturer's rated temperature. There is a very good reason for this. The "curve" of a motor's performance with regard to temperature isn't linear. In fact, it's far from it. And it will vary a great deal depending on a number of characteristics associated with a given machine. These will include its rating at "ambient" temperature, its size, and number of other things about its shape and mechanical construction. If an individual needs to operate a motor outside the manufacturer's ratings, it's a no-brainer that the manufacturer should be contacted to get information. The hook is economy. A lot of motors can be "pushed" a bit over their operating temperatures for a short time, but extended operation in the "red zone" will bring early failure. "Over-rating" a motor isn't a good idea if the objective is to save a few bucks. It will cost more in the long run to "cook" the unit and have to replace it than to get one that is rated for the operating conditions or to run cooling to the motor. This is really a question of engineering, and the smart engineer will cool a given motor or will get a different motor that is rated for the operating conditions.


What causes the motor to heat up to boiling and then cool off and do it over and over even after the thermostat has been replaced?

Sounds like blown head gasket.
