Motor Testing
Motor Overload
Motor overloads occur when motors are drawing too much current. The main issue with excess current is that it creates heat which degrades the insulation surrounding the conductors that creates stator magnetic field.

The Air Gap- Todd and Noah Show
Today, we discuss the Air Gap in a motor. Air Gap issues occur during the offset of the rotor and stator, which is why it is so important to regularly inspect and rotate motors.

Easy Motor Testing Procedures
Professionals in the industries of manufacturing, power generation and water rely on electric motors to complete their objectives. To remain efficient, it is essential that motor-based systems stay in peak operating condition.
The Rotor Fault Zone- Todd and Noah Show
In this episode, we discuss the tangible, moving part of the motor; the rotor. It is the rotating part of the asset which is very important in the success of the motor.

The Stator Fault Zone- Todd and Noah Show
Today, we go through some case studies involving a very important fault zone: the Stator fault zone which is the stationary part of the motor.

Electrical Insulation Failure
Electrical Insulation is used to direct current through a desired path and prevent it from flowing where it is not desired. Proper electrical insulation is critical to an electric motor’s performance and longevity.

How to Check Your Windings on Three Phase Motors
Motor windings are conductive wires wrapped around a magnetic core; they provide a path for current to flow to create then magnetic field to spin the rotor. Like any other part of the motor, the winding can fail.

Insulation- Todd and Noah Show
In this episode, we talk about the Charlie Brown fault zone: Insulation. Back in the 1840's, one of the first forms of insulation which was developed to prevent electricity from getting to a person or ground, was glass.
