Chapter 42, Problem 4RQ
A motor is tripping out on overload. The motor nameplate reveals a full load current of 168 amperes. When the motor is operating under load, an ammeter indicates the following: Phase #1 = 166 amperes, Phase #2 = 164 amperes, and Phase #3 = 225 amperes. What is the most likely problem with this motor?

- 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?arrow_forwardAssume that a nine-lead dual-voltage motor is being tested with an ohmmeter. The meter indicates resistance values as follows: T7–T8 = 6Ω, T7–T9 = 6Ω, and T8–T9 = 10Ω. What would these readings indicate?arrow_forwardA motor nameplate lists the voltage as 208–230/460. The nameplate also lists the full-load amps as 34.2–31.6/15.8. If the motor is operated at 240 volts, what should be the full-load current?arrow_forward
- A wye-connected load has a voltage of 480 V applied to it. What is the voltage dropped across each phase?arrow_forwardRefer to the schematic diagram in Figure 318. Assume that the motor is not running. When the third speed push button is pressed, the motor starts in its lowest speed. After a delay of 3 seconds, the motor accelerates to second speed and 3 seconds later to third speed. After a period of about 1 minute, the fourth speed push button is pressed, but the motor does not accelerate to fourth speed. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. Control relay CR2 coil is open. b. S2 contactor coil is open. c. CR3 coil is shorted. d. S3 contactor coil is open.arrow_forwardWhat is the minimum pulley diameter for a 1 HP motor running at 1750 RPM?arrow_forward
