Your church organ bellows is powered by a repulsion start-induction motor It is arching quite a bit and does not start the first or sometimes the second time Could it be brushes or a dirty comutator?

"Induction" motors imply AC power Most AC motors do not have brushes or commutator If your motor does have brushes, a lot of sparking where the brushes meet the comutator is a good indication that it needs to be cleaned and/or "cutdown". If your motor does not have brushes, then you have more serious trouble. Need more details


What are the signs that the motor brushes are worn?

Signs that motor brushes are worn include a decrease in motor performance, such as reduced power or inconsistent operation. You may also notice excessive sparking or arcing at the brush contact points, along with unusual noises like grinding or rattling. Additionally, physical inspection may reveal visible wear or damage to the brushes themselves, such as flattening or cracks. If the brushes are excessively worn, they may also cause increased heat or overheating of the motor.

Should sparking occur at the brushes of a universal motorwhat could be possible causes?

Sparking at the brushes of a universal motor can be caused by several factors, including worn or damaged brushes, improper brush alignment, or inadequate brush pressure against the commutator. Additionally, dirt or debris on the commutator surface can lead to poor electrical contact, resulting in arcing. Excessive load on the motor or improper voltage supply may also contribute to increased sparking. Regular maintenance and inspection can help mitigate these issues.
