How to detect failures of air compressor motor
Currently, Most air compressor using 3-phase asyncronous motor( high capacity air compressor) and air compressor using 1 phase electric motor( low capacity air compressor). Druring using and operating time , there are many incidents due to electric motor failure such as: Short circuit, electric motor fire, clogged motor, low load, excessive vibration and quick-heated machine. When you connect to the power supply, the protective equipments are reacted immediately ( Contactor is broken. Engine runs with sufficient speed but 3 phase electric current is unbalanced ...In order to help you earlier detect symptoms, causes and remedies, this article is recommended.
Air compressor motor
1.Some common failure of 3 phase asyncronous motor.
1.1 Motor is quickly overheated, groaning and unable to start when connect to power supply ( slowly spin or not spin). - Causes : +Power supply loses 1 phase + Inner phase of stator is broken + Bearing is worn out so rotor is clogged - Remedies + Check and repair power supply wiring, fuses, contactor, main switch +Measure and check each phase and repair brokren position. + Check the loose of bearing. Repair or replace bearing 1.2The protective equipments are reacted immediately after power connection - Cause + Stator is short- circuited - Remedies : + Check and repair the dhort-circuited phase. 1.3 Engine runs with insuffcient speed, strong vibration, quickly -overheated. - Causes + Short circuit in Inner coil + The engine is destroyed - Remedies: + Check wirings by Gronha , if it is internaly short-circuited , wrap it. + Recalibrate or replace new bearing . 1.4 Mechanical sound, current is abnomal increase. - Causes + The cap is not well-fixed to the machine +Bearing is worn out, shaft is curvied. - Remedies : + Repair and correct mechanical parts. + Replace bearing 1.5 Engine runs with sufficient speed but 3 phase electric current is unbalanced (deviation more than 10% in each phase) -Causes + Short circuited phases - Remesies: + Check source voltage điện áp nguồn + Check short-circuited position. 1.6 The load current is not too high Io> 50% Iđm - Cause + Poor quality circuit + Many winding is shorted-circuit - Remedies + Enhance drying. If there is a change, it can be useD, If not it must be corrected 1.7 Engine can not start while loading - Causes + Heavy load + Decrease sourse voltage + Phase loss - Remedies + Decrease load + Check the sourse voltage + Check power supply
