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.

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.
