Motor fails to develop full power (power output of motor decreases rapidly with decrease in voltage at motor terminals).

1.Power line overloaded with lights, appliances, and other motors.

2.Undersized wires or circuits too long.

3.General overloading of power company facilities.

1.Reduce load on power line.

2.Increase wire sizes or reduce length of wire.

3.Request a power check from the power company.
