TROUBLE SHOOTING -- MOTOR
NOTE: Motors used on
TROUBLE
Excessive noise,
Motor fails to develop
full power. NOTE:
LOW VOLTAGE: (Power
output of motor decreases rapidly with decrease in voltage at motor terminals. For example, a reduction of 10% in voltage causes a reduction of 19% in maximum power output of which the motor is capable, and a reduction
of 20% in voltage causes a reduction of 36% in maximum power output.}
PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Motor.
1.Circuit overloaded with
lights, appliances and other motors.
2.Undersize wires or cir_,uit tOO long.
