Rotor bars of 2-pole (3600RPM) rotors are subjected to high stresses caused by repeated starting, thermal expansion and centrifugal forces. The repeated starting with resultant cyclic forces causes the bars to loosen. This is because the rotating magnetic stator field applies rapidly alternating forces to each rotor bar, diminishing in intensity and frequency as the …

Electric motors are the heart of your plant. If they stop working, an entire line could, well, die. Just like diagnostic testing in the medical field can increase life expectancy, reliability testing in industry can extend the life of your plant equipment. The parallels between medical diagnostic testing and industrial predictive services are numerous. Just …
