      If water and hazardous chemicals were part of an electrical system what you said you matter, but clearly that not the case, so what you stated is out of place. Electricity works the same way regardless, of where it is.

    First test should be for voltage to ensure the circuit is actually de-energized. You should test your meter first on a known live circuit, then test on the de-energized circuit, then check on the known live circuit again to ensure your meter is actually working and not falsely indicating 0 voltage. Make sure your meter is properly rated for the Hazard category. usually 480vac 3phase motor circuits are considered CAT III. Minimum your meter should be rated for CAT IV 600V or CAT III 1000V even better. It should be certified by at least 2 independent labs like UL CSA TUV DVE for this CAT rating. Your test leads should have been inspected for any damage before use and your probe tips should have the least amount of metal exposed as possible. Ideally you clamp the COM lead to a ground away from the terminals to be tested first. and then use 1 hand to probe each terminal for voltage 1 at a time. This creates a greater distance between the two leads and lowers risk of accidental arc flash forming between the probe tips. After you are sure the circuit is de-energized then you can check phase to phase ohms on the motor windings and T leads.

    If you motor starts with the N.O start button and stops correctly, the control circuit is working properly and you can eliminate most of the steps shown in 30 seconds or less, then just check the power circuit and go from there. If your motor isn’t wanting to start, try manually picking it up with the seal in contact, If it starts, check start and stop button.

    @robertosteen6621 5 років тому

    To check the motor shouldn't you determinate the motor or at least check the termination? I've had instances where the motor shoots good from the cabinet but you open the peckerhead and the phases are melted together. Obviously it would cause the breaker to trip but still from the disconnect you would see the same reading if the phases were not shorted.

    • @edcrowe6977
      @edcrowe6977 6 років тому +1

      if you remove the input voltage to the motor and make sure the motor shaft is free from any other mechanical sources , then the motor rotor should turn free within the motor housing. However, if the motor shaft fails to turn with no voltage applied , then the motor needs to be taken apart and inspected for bad end bell bearings and remove the motor rotor from the field and check for any damages there as well.

    • @edcrowe6977
      @edcrowe6977 6 років тому

      the locked rotor motor test is basically when the shaft of the motor is locked so that it cant move and then the rotor winding's are short circuited and checked that the lower frequency applied and reduced supply voltage matches the full load rated current of the motor

  • @Biginjapan85

    Hey, will checking the resistance between each phase of the motor not give the same resistance, as all of the windings are connected together in the motors terminal box?

    • @charliec8936
      @charliec8936 9 років тому +1

      +rory johnstone if you check resistance between each phase then yes the resistance should be the same as they are balanced. if they were different then they would be imbalanced and cause the motor to have a problem

    • @Biginjapan85
      @Biginjapan85 9 років тому +4

      +Charlotte Cottam As i understand the links for star/delta in the terminal box on the motor would have to be disconnected to properly test between phase to phase. As checking phase to phase with the links in will not show the fault due to the three phases being tied together in the terminal box.

    • @edcrowe6977
      @edcrowe6977 6 років тому

      In order to properly checking the motor winding resistance a megometer would be required as well. If any motor winding shows any resistance to ground. the motor field windings would have to be repaired then

    • @keyworksales6241
      @keyworksales6241 5 років тому

      They do require an earth ground. In the United States it is usually the green wire as shown in the video when he shows the inside of the disconnect box.
      There is no neutral wire in a 3 phase motor. Each of the 3 phases is a hot wire.

    In an absolute sense, this is a good effort, but this is not a good "how to" video: the narration is too fast, it assumes extensive knowledge and experience by the listener. This is for experienced people only, and if they are already experienced, they don't need the instruction.
    Improvement can start by practicing the narration with no slurred/drop-offs toward the end of the sentence or idea. (Slurred end-of-sentence drop-offs alienate the listener because it shows an attitude that says "this stuff is so basic and elementary, and I'm bored with having to explain it to you.... "
    The narration should also have pauses between sentences and paragraphs, as opposed to the aggressive, pace here, which eventually sounds like an advertisement for the company, as opposed to an actual how-to video.
