This document provides troubleshooting information for common electric motor issues including failure to start, excessive hum or noise, regular clicking, rapid knocking, vibration, and overheating. It lists possible causes for each issue and recommends corrective actions to diagnose and resolve problems. Key information includes checking the power source, voltage levels, load levels, balance and alignment of moving parts, lubrication, and ensuring proper ventilation and cooling. Periodic inspection and maintenance is advised to monitor insulation resistance, vibration levels, bearing conditions, cleanliness, and fastener tightness.

TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTION
Motor will not start. Usually line trouble. Single Check power source. DO NOT check with phasing at starter. motor energized! Check overloads, controls and fuses. Check voltage and compare with nameplate rating. Under Voltage. Check voltage at motor terminals. Compare to nameplate. Excessive Load. Disconnect motor from load to see if it starts without load. Reduce load or replace motor with unit of greater capacity.
Excessive hum. High Voltage. Check input voltage. Check for proper connections. Unbalanced rotor. Balance rotor. Excessive wear of sleeve bearings. Replace bearings. Check to determine cause of wear and replace as necessary. Check alignment. Regular clicking. Foreign matter in air gap. Remove foreign matter. Rapid knocking. Bad anti-friction bearing or dirt in Replace bearing, clean grease cavities lubricant. and renew lubricant. Vibration. Misalignment in coupling or feet. Realign motor and driven equipment.
Accumulation of dirt on fan. Clean motor.
Vibration in driven machine. Run motor disconnected from driven load and check for vibration. Eliminate source in System natural frequency driven equipment. (resonance). Alter rigidity of base structure.
Vibration following Rotor out of balance; balance Balance rotor.
motor repair. weights of fans shifted on rotor. Motor overheating. Overload. Measure load and compare with nameplate (Check with rating. Check for excessive friction in motor thermocouple or by Single phase. or complete drive. Reduce load or replace resistance method, motor with unit of greater capacity. do not depend on Dirt in motor. Check current, all phases. touch). Check flow of air. Unbalanced voltage. Check filters if so equipped. Clean motor. Rotor rubbing on stator. Check voltage, all phases.
Check air gap. Repair motor as necessary.
TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEMS
Daily Checklist At what time (year, month, day and hour) and in what weather the test is conducted. Voltage load current. frequency Ambient temperature (room temperature). Temperature and noise around bearings. Temperatures in stator windings and on frame surface (totally enclosed type). Abnormal vibrations and noise
Checklist of periodical test and inspection
Insulation resistance and the relative humidity Amplitude of vibration The color and contents of grease discharged from bearings. Dirt lodged in and on the motor. Coupling allowance of coupling device; the tension of belts. Fastening bolts for base. foot and other parts. In case of oil lubrication, surface condition and clearness of the oil should be recorded. At the same time, check and make sure there is no leakage.
Range of Voltage - within 10% of rated voltage.
Range of Frequency - within 5% of rated frequency.
Temperature rise (maximum ambient temperature of 40)
