Lubrication |
| Motors 10 HP and smaller are lubricated at the factory to operate for long periods under normal service conditions without re-lubrication. Excessive or too frequent lubrication may actually damage the motor |

| Most failures result from inappropriate application. Pay careful attention to the application requirements before choosing a motor for replacement of a failed one or for a new design application. Not choosing the correct motor type and horsepower can cause repeated motor failure and equipment downtime. Obviously, you don't want to specify a motor too small for the application, thus resulting in electrical stresses that cause premature motor failure. But neither should you specify a motor too powerful -- either because of its power or its inherent design characteristics. It can also have serious effects. For example, a motor with high locked-rotor and breakdown torques can damage the equipment it drives. Also, running a motor at less than full rated load is inefficient, costing you money for power wasted. |
