Check The Outside of The Motor.: Insulation Resistance Tester (Mega Ohm Meter)

The document provides steps to troubleshoot a malfunctioning induction motor, including checking the motor housing for damage, testing the windings for shorts, and checking the rotor. Based on the test results, repairs may include rewinding the stator or replacing insulation papers between windings. The final step is to run the motor and check for unusual sounds or vibrations.

Malfunction in Induction Motor

Check the outside of the motor.


• Broken mounting holes or feet
• Darkened paint in the middle of the motor
• Evidence of dirt and other foreign matter having been pulled into the motor windings through
openings in the housing

NO No any out
damages

Service the specific outside damages YES

Check the windings for short circuiting to the frame using


by Insulation Resistance Tester (mega ohm meter)

There is a short circuit between stator


winding and the casing. Need to rewind it
NO If reading
won’t be
with proper insulating methods( windings
Zero
should be bound & varnished in a proper
way)
Yes

Check the windings for short circuiting between two windings using by
Insulation Resistance Tester (mega ohm meter)

NO If reading

Zero

Need to replace insulation papers between each winding or rewind


the stator using recommended insulated wires to avoid the short Yes
circuiting

Check the windings in order to find whether there are failures


within each individual windings by using ohm meter

NO If reading
Rewind the stator according to the recommended methods Show nearly
to the Zero

Yes
If the motor
Check the rotor
