Electric motor winding failures can develop from several reasons, such as over greasing, a voltage surge, poor power, contamination or insulation problems. A voltage surge caused so much force that it ripped the winding apart creating shorts and grounds in a 2500 horsepower motor. CMT can determine if it’s a mechanical or electrical failure in […]
