Condenser Water Pump Motor Test at Shopping Centre site
Recently, We conducted a thorough diagnostic test on a TECO 18.5Kw condenser water pump motor at a large shopping centre in Sydney’s inner west. The goal was to check the motor’s condition and find the cause of its random trip faults.
CHALLENGE
Reported Faults: Random motor trip faults. Total Harmonic Distortion levels out of range.
Equipment Model: TECO 18.5Kw condenser water pump motor.
OUR CHECKS
Type of Assessment: Off Line and On Line diagnostics using a PDMA MCE/Emax™ tester.
The tests included:
Phase to Phase Resistance:
Measuring phase-to-phase resistance may be done by measuring the resistance by connecting a resistance meter to leads A...
