For the motor of the air compressor power equipment, if a common trouble problem occurs, the most critical and troublesome effect is that the air compressor cannot start. If the air compressor cannot be started, it will result in unsuccessful production in the factory. Let's take a look at the key reasons that cause the problem of air compressor motor failure:
01 Overheating problem
Overheating is the most common cause of motor failures in air compressors. In theory, the service life of winding insulation will decrease every time the heat is increased by 10°C. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the motor of the air compressor operates at a suitable temperature.
02 Floating dust waste
Of course, various floating particles in the air will enter the inside of the air compressor motor and cause various injuries inside. Corrosion particles are likely to damage components, and conductive particles are likely to interfere with component currents. Once the particles block the cooling channel, overheating will be accelerated. When purchasing the motor of the air compressor, select the appropriate IP protection level.
03 Power supply problem
Harmonic currents caused by high-frequency switching and pulse width adjustment may cause distortion of the operating voltage and current, load, and overheating. In turn, the service life of motors and components is shortened, and the cost of long-term machinery and equipment is increased. In addition, the surge itself can cause the operating voltage to be too high or too low. To deal with this problem, we must focus on the power supply situation.
04 The air is humid and cold
Humid air will corrode the components of the air compressor motor. Of course, there is water in the air, that is, air humidity. When the damp and cold air is mixed with particulate matter, it will also cause fatal damage to the air compressor motor, which will further reduce the service life.
05 Poor lubrication
The lubrication of air compressors is a big problem. Too much lubrication or insufficient lubrication will cause damage to the motor. In addition, you must also pay attention to the choice of lubricants, do not use poor quality lubricants, and lubricants of different standards cannot be mixed.
