Motor Testing
A motor failure could be catastrophic, causing lost production and costly emergency repairs. For example, a motor failure at a nuclear plant can cost up to one million dollars a day for critical motors.
According to recent IEEE and EPRI studies, at least 35 to 45 percent of motor failures are electrically related.
Since electric motors begin deteriorating the instant they are started, it is necessary to monitor their operating condition on a routine, periodic schedule All the routine tests on LT motor s for overall healthiness checkup Using Megger Make MTR105 Multifunction motor tester.
Tests to be covered: 3 Phase IR Test(Upto 1kV) with PI Value, Continuity, Four wire Winding Resistance, Direction of rotation, Capacitance, Inductance, Temperature.
