Chapter 42, Problem 3RQ
A motor is tripping out on overload. The motor nameplate reveals a full load current of 68 amperes. When the motor is operating under load, an ammeter indicates the following: Phase #1 = 106 amperes, Phase #2 = 104 amperes, and Phase #3 = 105 amperes. What is the most likely problem with this motor?
