CORRECTIVE ACTION

Check shunt field current.a Low shunt field current causes excessive armature current. If field current is adequate, check for a mechani cal overload. If the unloaded motor shaft does not rotate freely, check motor bearings. Also check for a shorted motor armature. Motor overload can also be caused by incorrect gear ratio. Correct accordingly.

Check the motor shunt field and associated circuitry for a loose connection or a broken wire. Repair accordingly.

Check motor rating and refer to Table 12 on page 34.

Replace faulty diode or the control board.

Check motor rating and refer to Table 12 on page 34.

Measure the shunt field resistance and com pare with the motor rating. Repair or replace the motor.

Remove dirt, dust, and debris from the motor intake and exhaust screens.

Reduce the load or increase the speed.

See Indication 9.

Check for misalignment. Realign the motor.

Repair or replace the motor.

a. Does not apply to permanent-magnet motors. b. Does not apply to shunt-wound motors.
