What Could Cause a Variation in a Motor’s Performance?

Electric Motor losses can commonly cause variation in motor performance, and there are a few basic types of motor losses.

Stator losses and rotor losses are caused by an increase in current flow, which amounts to power loss. Heating effects caused by either the stator or the rotor can contribute to this fluctuation in current flow.

Stray load losses can also occur due to a design flaw, load current or manufacturing variables that result in leakage.

Iron losses or core looses can occur if lesser quality steel is used in the motor’s construction.

Friction and windage losses will sometimes occur as a result of bearing friction, cooling fan load, wind friction, or other source of air movement within the motor.

There are a few ways to reduce motor loss. By ensuring all motor components are balanced, the bearing wear and bearing temperature is reduced. This will not only extend the longevity of the motor, it also ensures a smooth operation with less performance variation.
