Motor Winding Resistance Unbalance or Connection Issues Motor Circuit Analysis™ (MCA™) is a test method that determines the true state of health of 3 phase & single-phase electrical motors. MCA™ checks the motors coils, rotor, connections, and more. MCA™ can verify ac motor winding resistance as well as dc motor resistance and determine state of health. If the motor is grounded, the megohmmeter & ohmmeter will solve your issue when you ohm a motor but if the motor problem is not a ground issue, you are going to need to use another tool or instrument to troubleshoot the problem since the motor maybe still operational but having issues such as tripping the VFD or circuit breaker, overheating, or underperforming, etc. Instruments such as megohmmeters and ohmmeters will detect direct ground faults but will not indicate if the insulation is failing, turn to turn faults, phase unbalance, rotor issues, etc. These issues may be the cause of wear or other defects in a wound rotor motor. Winding resistance measurements detect problems in motors that other tests may not find. Testing windings on a 3 phase motor is very easy with Motor Circuit Analysis™ (MCA™). Winding resistance measurements detect various faults in motors, generators, and transformers: shorted & open turns, loose connections, and broken conductors & resistive connections problems.
#What is motor winding how to
We cover Groundwall Insulation testing, how to test your windings for connection issues including open & shorts. Thanks for reading about “damper winding in synchronous motor” and “hunting in synchronous motor.For a quick review on this topic, please click this link.
In this case also, due to sudden change in electrical output or mechanical input, oscillations are set up in the rotor called hunting, which can be prevented by providing damper winding in synchronous generator. The hunting can also occur in a synchronous generator. The use of damper winding in synchronous motor reduces its settling time considerably. The time taken by the rotor to reach its final equilibrium position after hunting is known as ‘settling time’. Hence the hunting reduces quickly due to damper winding. Here the cause is relative motion due to hunting. This induced EMF is in such a direction that it will try to oppose the cause of it ( Lenz’s law). Hence an EMF is induced proportional to relative motion in damper winding. When the rotor oscillates, the relative motion between RMF and the rotor becomes nonzero. The damper winding in synchronous motor plays a very important role in hunting.
Due to inertia, the rotor oscillates around its correct position for some time before coming to the correct position. But if the motor load is changed suddenly, then the rotor cannot get its new position corresponding to the new value of δ smoothly. If the load on the motor is increased gradually, then the rotor goes to a new position smoothly.
