Squirrel -cage motor noisy.
4-pole 3Ph squirrel -cage motor noisy.
A loud buzzing noise has developed over the past 12 months. The motor is not overheating, nor are the bearings. Is this serious? Peter |

Peter Some of these motors are bolted together. Tighten the bolts if you can reach them. Then, as noted, the coils can work loose from the laminations. Varnish, or thin Super Glue might work for that. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

Maybe some WD40 would help.

Peter Squirrel wants out? (Well someone had to say it...) Mike. I tried pouring oil down its nose, but the noise never changes. :-))) |

And other squirrel motors on the same power system are quiet as ever. |

If it has a phase-shift capacitor, that has probably changed value and is on the way to failing. Substitute another one of as near the right value as possible and see if that stops or alters the noise. (Make sure the capacitor is discharged each time before touching it.) -- ~ Adrian Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk |

It could be one phase disconnected, although that probably would make more of a hum than a buzz. Laminations could be working loose in the rotor or the windings working loose in the stator; the former will be more likely to change on load or pulsate at slip frequency. -- ~ Adrian Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk |
