6.1 Fault diagnosis table

Diagnosis table for mechanical and electrical faults
The tables below list general faults caused by mechanical and electrical influences.
Table 6-1 Diagnosis table for mechanical faults
Overview of mechanical faults
Mechanical fault characteristics
- rubbing/grinding noise
- high temperature rise
- radial vibration
- axial vibration
Possible causes of fault
- Rotating parts rubbing/grinding
- air supply restricted,
possibly wrong direction of rotation of fan
- Rotor not balanced
- Rotor out of true, shaft bent
- Poor alignment
- Coupled motor not balanced
- Shocks from coupled motor
- Imbalance originating from gearing
- Resonance with the foundation
- Changes in foundation
As well as eliminating the cause of the fault (as described under "Remedial measures"), you must also rectify any
1)
damage the motor may have suffered.
Take into account possible changes due to a rise in temperature.

Operating Instructions - Three-phase induction motor - AH 180
Remedial measures
Determine cause and adjust parts
Check air passages,
clean filter, replace fan if necessary
Rebalance rotor
Consult the manufacturer
Align motor unit,
check coupling
Rebalance coupled motor
Check coupled motor
Adjust/repair gearing
After consultation, reinforce foundation
Determine cause of changes,
eliminate if necessary; realign motor
