Most likely a defective phase winding in the motor or even a missing phase in your power input.

Why three phase induction motor has uniform torque?

The 3-phase currents in the 3 coils of an induction motor will produce a steady rotating magnetic field.


How many amps does a 3 phase 22kw motor use?

22 kw motor how much takes ampares with load


Can I run a 12 KW motor with a single phase?

To answer these types of questions, a voltage of the single phase motor should be stated. It has to do with the breaker sizing and wire sizing and current load.


Why neutral not conect in 3phase motor?

A 3 phase motor does not require a neutral conductor because the impedances that make up the stator coils are of equal magnitude and it is what is known as a balanced 3 phase load. If the loads of a wye connected 3 phase system were unbalanced, i.e. the load currents in each of the 3 phases are different, then the unbalanced currents would require a return path to the service transformer via a neutral conductor. The neutral conductor is the transformer centre tap and is usually earthed locally. ANOTHER ANSWER The impedance of each phase winding of a three phase motor is identical (we call it a 'balanced load'). For a star (wye) connected motor, the phasor sum of three identical phase currents is zero, so no current will flow through a neutral, so a neutral isn't required. For a delta-connected motor, there is no provision for a neutral.


What type of load is a 3 phase compressor motor?

In electrical terms a three phase compressor is a compressor that is driven with a three phase motor. There are compressors that have three pressure heads. The three heads boost the pressure up in higher increments but these are referred to as three stage compressors.

You have two motor of 75 kw same make but at no load one is taking 21 amp current and other is taking 46amp load which one is correct?

You need to state the voltage and phase of these 100 HP motors.


Load test on 3 phase induction motor?

When you do a load test on a 3-phase induction motor you are checking the power factor, viz slip, and efficiency of the motor. You can test various loads with this test.


Why each phase no load power factor of 3 phase induction motor is not same?

That indicates a fault in the induction motor.


Can 3 phase induction motor start and run rated speed by 2 phase?

yes, It would run as long as the motor was not coupled to a load. Coupled to a load the motor would have no torque and would stall.

How many amp does a 3 phase 208 voltage motor use?

It depends on how powerful the motor is, and what type of load it is driving.

What happened when one phase missing of a 3 phase load?

When one phase is missing in a 3-phase load, the load will experience an imbalance which can lead to overheating and potential damage to the equipment. The motor may run slower or produce less power, and the efficiency of the system will decrease. It is important to address the missing phase quickly to prevent further damage.


What are the difference between 220 v 3 phase motor and 415 volt 3 phase motor Like Torque starting load anything power savings in 220 volt?

The difference in voltage is a minor detail and the power used depends largely on the mechanical load power on the motor.
