Household AC equipment uses electric motors to move air and electric motors to move refrigerant. Whether due to overheating, lack of proper maintenance, or due to aging, AC motors can fail and cause the entire system to shut down. If the fan motor is not working properly, other components in the air conditioner may stop working quickly, leading to more repairs and frustration in the unbearably high temperature house. How to replace ac motor?
This passage is going to talk about the followings of ac motor:
(1) Condenser fan motor
(2) Blower motor
(3) Routine maintenance of your AC motor - avoid air conditioner failure
Since the condenser fan motor will rain and be exposed to the components, it is rated for outdoor use, and its ends and sides are sealed to prevent water from entering. These motors are usually single-speed, with horsepower ranging from 1/6 hp to 1/3 hp. They always have a capacitor, if it is the original motor, usually a double capacitor, if it is an after-sale motor replacement, usually a capacitor. Factory motors usually have three wires, while aftermarket versions usually have four wires.
The main thing to remember on condenser fan motors is that the main service issue is usually a damaged capacitor. This problem usually occurs in the summer when the weather is the hottest. If the motor is damaged, measure the height from the fan blade to the hand guard before removing the fan blade. The placement of the blades is absolutely important to the operation of the condenser, even more important than its original placement on the motor shaft. Therefore, you should always keep all replaced fan blades at exactly the same height, because mistaken blade height even by one inch may mean that the compressor will overheat and burn. If you need to replace the condenser fan motor and capacitor, please first pay attention to the following key information:
Rotating speed
Frame size
life value
Voltage
Most importantly, never try to push the replacement blade onto the motor. After all, the electric motor is easy to replace, and the correct fan blade may take several weeks to find.
Finally, don't rely on the assumption that you can simply replace other pitch blades when necessary. The wrong size or type will not work, and may cause the fan motor to overheat or only cause insufficient air circulation, which means that the AC power module will not work properly. The airflow at the condenser is critical.
Another popular type of pneumatic AC unit motor is the blower motor. The appearance of the blower motor is similar to that of the condenser fan motor, except that the sides and/or ends of the blower are ventilated to allow air to pass through. The blower motor also has a capacitor, in addition to more wires than the condenser fan motor.
The main reason for the failure of the blower motor is that dirty air passes through them and blocks the ventilation holes, causing the motor to overheat. This shows that the problem is more serious because the air filter should be soiled before it reaches the motor. Sometimes, the blower motor encounters a capacitor failure, causing the capacitor to rotate backward. They seem to operate normally like this, but there is almost no air. A few hours later, the evaporator coil freezes and the house is overheating, prompting the homeowner to ask for help.
To replace the failed blower motor, remove the blower housing with the motor and blower. You must remove the curved plate first, but this is where the wheels slide out of the housing. After completing the operation, make sure to reinstall the blower impeller firmly to avoid burning the new motor. Finally, keep in mind that there are universal alternatives to blower motors. Just remember that the electric heater uses a 230 volt blower motor (compared to a 115 volt motor for a gas stove), you should choose!
The most reliable way to prevent damage to the fan motor or any other type of air conditioner failure is routine maintenance. During maintenance, a certified professional will inspect and adjust all parts to ensure efficient operation of your equipment. Although AC service requires a small amount of upfront cost, it will inevitably save you a lot of production line maintenance costs, while also extending the service life of the system. In addition, it can make you feel at ease about the comfort of the house in the hot summer weather.
Most motors, whether AC motors or DC motors, will fail due to time, which may not be electrical in nature. Since there are few moving parts, motors without brushes and commutators (such as AC (alternating current) induction motors) have the longest service life. AC and DC brush motors (such as those used in vacuum cleaners and power tools) generate high power in a short period of time and stop working when worn brushes and commutators are issued. To check any type of faulty motor, follow logical steps. If you want to learn more, you can read the comprehensive guide below.
This passage is going to talk about the followings of ac motor:
(1) Check bearings and shafts of an ac motor
(2) Check the ac motor windings with a multimeter
(3) Ensure that the ac motor fan is in good condition and firm
Motor bearings are one of the most vulnerable components. Bearings are subject to regular wear and tear, so you need to replace them over time. You must check the bearings regularly, because if you continue to use the motor with worn bearings, it will damage the mechanism and reduce the efficiency of the motor.
The bearings are easy to check. All you need to do is rotate the bearings to make sure they rotate smoothly and freely. Another way to check the bearing is by pushing and pulling the shaft to which the bearing is connected. The bearing should rotate smoothly and the shaft should be able to move smoothly. That is, if you hear scratching or feel any friction, you may need to replace the bearing. If the friction is small, the bearing may only need lubrication.
Not surprisingly, the windings of a motor are critical to its machinery. You should check the wear of the winding regularly, but more importantly, you need to analyze its resistance. First, you will need a multimeter to test the windings. First, set the multimeter to read ohms, and then test the wires and terminals of the motor. You should test the "short to ground" in the winding circuit and open the winding or shorts.
To test whether the motor is shorted to ground, you need to set the multimeter to ohms and disconnect the power to the motor. Then check each wire, looking for infinite readings. Or, if the reading is 0, it may be a cable problem. To determine whether the cables are damaged, each cable should be tested separately and make sure that no wires are touching. Testing separately allows you to find the cable causing the problem. On the other hand, if each cable provides unlimited readings, it may be a motor problem, so you should hire a professional repair service.
Too many people forget to check and maintain the fan of the ac motor. The fan is very important to the performance of the motor, because it keeps the motor cool and can run for a long time. You might suspect that the fan is easily clogged with dust and debris, which reduces airflow and keeps heat in. Although the outside of the fan looks relatively clean, dust and debris may accumulate elsewhere, which can slow the fan. When removing the fan cover for cleaning, also test the fan and make sure it spins freely. In addition, the fan should be fixed on the motor. Otherwise, the fan will not operate normally, and the motor will overheat, and eventually it will definitely be damaged.
After the motor coil is energized, it is rotated by the force of the magnetic field, and its coil cuts the magnetic line of induction. According to the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction, it does not produce an induced current. This current, together with the current passing through it, does not increase the current passing through the coil. The coil is rotated by the force of the magnetic field again. Why is the direction of the induced current generated by the coil being rotated by the current and cutting the magnetic induction line in the opposite direction? Can electric motors generate electricity?
This passage is going to talk about the followings of ac motor:
(1) Principle of Ac motor
(2) Generator is not motor
(3) How do electric motors generate electricity?
According to the left-hand rule and the right-hand rule, the current directions of the coils are indeed opposite.
However, the motor will not stop rotating because of this, it will keep rotating and output power to the outside. The reason is that the current that causes the coil of the motor to be subjected to ampere force is generated by the applied electromotive force. When the applied electromotive force forces the coil current to flow in one direction, the electromotive force generated by electromagnetic induction at this time has a tendency to weaken the coil current. But it is never possible to overcome the additional electromotive force, otherwise an ideal state without any energy loss will appear. The final effect is that the current in the coil always flows continuously in the direction of the applied electromotive force.
Electric motors equipped with permanent magnets can generate electricity, the principle is electromagnetic induction. However, the alternator made by using the "squirrel cage principle" generally cannot be directly used as a generator because it lacks the necessary circuitry to make the coil a controllable electromagnet.
An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It uses energized coils (that is, stator windings) to generate a rotating magnetic field and act on the rotor squirrel-cage closed aluminum frame to form magneto-electric power rotating torque. Motors are divided into DC motors and Ac motors according to different power sources. Most of the motors in the power system are Ac motors, which can be synchronous motors or asynchronous motors (motor stator magnetic field speed and rotor rotation speed do not maintain synchronous speed). The motor is mainly composed of a stator and a rotor. The direction of the force movement of the energized wire in the magnetic field is related to the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic line of induction (magnetic field direction). The working principle of the motor is the action of the magnetic field on the force of the current to make the motor rotate.
Ac motors rely on electricity to provide a magnetic field for work, but they must first have a magnetic field to generate electricity.
Specific to different motor power generation methods have their own characteristics. For permanent magnet motors, because they have a native magnetic field (permanent magnets have a magnetic field), rotating the motor in any direction without energization can generate electromotive force in the windings to generate electricity. Similarly, AC synchronous motors are exciting When the winding is energized, it is basically the same when the working winding is not energized. When the AC asynchronous motor is not energized, because there is no magnetic field, the rotating motor will not generate electricity. When it is energized, in the four quadrants of the motor operation, the two external mechanical energy can generate electricity when the output power of the motor is greater than the output power of the motor. The same applies when the magneto is energized. The situation of DC motor is more complicated, so I won't describe it. Therefore, it is not that the motor can generate electricity by reversing.
If there is a manufacturer's manual, the wiring of the Ac motor is not particularly difficult. However, if the manual is not found, the work will become more difficult. In all cases, if you are not sure how to connect the motor, please consult an expert, because incorrect motor wiring can cause electric shock or injury. If you can’t find a wiring diagram, it is wise to buy a new motor instead of risking some uncertain things.
This passage is going to talk about the followings of electric motor:
(1) The history of electric motors
(2) Steps to wire an electric motor
(3) Design and operation theory of Ac motor
The term "induction" in induction motors (also called asynchronous motors) refers to electromagnetic induction, which is the working principle of induction motors. According to Wikipedia, there are several names related to the invention of AC induction motors. In 1824, the French physicist François Arago discovered the rotating magnetic field and coined the term Arago's rotation (or Arago's disc). In 1831, Michael Faraday explained this influence by introducing the theory of electromagnetic induction. In 1879, Walter Baily demonstrated the first primitive induction motor by manually opening and closing the switch. The first three-phase induction motor without AC commutator was independently invented by Galileo Ferraris in 1885 and Nikola Tesla in 1887. Both companies published papers explaining these techniques in 1888. Tesla applied for US patents in 1887 and obtained some of them in 1888. At that time, George Westinghouse, who was developing an AC power system, obtained Tesla's patent license in 1888 and purchased the US patent for the Ferrari induction motor concept to further develop the technology. General Electric (GE) began developing three-phase induction motors in 1891. By 1896, General Electric and Westinghouse had signed a cross-licensing agreement for the design of a bar winding rotor, which was later called a squirrel-cage rotor. The same concept is still used today.
Before wiring any Ac motor, be absolutely sure to remove all electricity from the motor circuit. Turn on the circuit breaker that will provide power. Mark the circuit breaker to ensure that power is not accidentally restored to the circuit.
Check the motor manufacturer's manual for advice on proper wiring for your application. If the motor does not have a manual, please look for the connection diagram somewhere on the motor. The schematic can be on the outside of the motor, or under the inspection board or cover of the motor.
For the connection diagrams of most modern motors, see References. Find the correct wiring for your specific motor. For example, if the motor is single-phase single-voltage and you want it to rotate counterclockwise, it will show that the input power is connected to L1 and L2.
Open the motor cover to access the motor terminals. Strip the end of the power cord and crimp the terminal. Connect the wires to the motor terminals. Use a wire cap to connect the wires together for proper rotation.
After the wiring is complete, replace the cover and energize the motor circuit. Make sure the motor is running in the correct direction.
The most basic Ac motor is also called permanent split capacitor motor. The rotating element, the rotor, is supported in the motor housing by two ball bearings, which has a long service life. The stator is located around the rotor with a thin air gap. The output shaft is connected to the rotor. The wire is connected to the stator winding. Press-fit the flange bracket into the motor housing to ensure quality.
When alternating current is supplied to the copper windings in the stator, a rotating magnetic field is generated around the rotor at the speed of AC oscillation. According to Fleming's left-hand law, the moving magnetic field induces current on the aluminum bars (conductors) in the steel rotor, thereby generating its own diamagnetic field (Lenz's law). Then, the magnetic field from the rotor interacts with the rotating magnetic field from the stator, and the rotor starts to rotate.
You can perform many different tests on the motor-that's why it's important to know the purpose of these tests, how they work and what the data means. We will first briefly review why the test is important, then discuss the rotor bar, withstand voltage, surge and motor winding resistance, and discuss vibration analysis. Give your ac motor a test!
This passage is going to talk about the followings of test ac motor:
(1) Use belt or pulley to reduce speed
(2) Reduce rpm of dc motor
(3) Reduce rpm of ac motor
The operation of a shaft driven by an electric motor or internal combustion engine or other form of power is characterized by the speed, torque and position of the shaft. Loads driven by shafts often require different speeds or torques, or need to transmit power to adjacent shafts. Reducing RPM can be achieved by using two or more pulleys and belts to transfer and change the rotation speed.
Measure and record the key characteristics of the system. To design a pulley system to reduce the RPM of the power shaft, you will need shaft speed, shaft diameter, distance from power shaft center to load shaft center, load shaft diameter and required load shaft speed. If neither the power shaft nor the load shaft can move, a tensioning wheel is needed to keep the belt at the proper tension. Purchase and install pulleys and belts. If the speed of the load shaft is critical, purchase an adjustable pulley that is fixed together by two halves, which will be used for the power shaft. When the bolt is tightened, the two halves move closer, and the effective diameter of the pulley increases, so the speed can be slightly adjusted.
The pulley represents a simple machine used for many operations. The pulley system consists of two pulleys on the shaft, and the belt connects the pulleys together. One pulley is the driving pulley and the other is the driven pulley. The pulley can change the speed, provide torque and change the direction of rotation. Changing the speed with a pulley requires changing the diameter of the pulley.
Taking the shunt-excited Dc motor as an example, the following three methods can be used to reduce the speed:
(1) Reduce the terminal voltage. Since the power supply voltage is generally fixed, it is difficult to change. Moreover, reducing the terminal voltage will result in a decrease in the excitation current, and therefore will increase the speed of the motor, so this method is rarely used.
(2) Increasing the excitation current means increasing the intensity of the magnetic field. Due to the limitation of the saturation of the magnetic circuit, the power supply voltage is difficult to increase, and the inherent resistance of the field winding cannot be changed, so this method is not widely used.
(3) Connect resistors in series in the armature circuit to reduce the armature end voltage. This method is the simplest and easy to implement, so it is the most commonly used method to reduce the speed of a Dc motor.
The speed of the motor is determined by the number of winding groups. For example, a 4-pole motor (refers to a motor with two pairs of magnetic poles of the motor). When the frequency is 50 Hz, the rated speed is 1450 rpm. When the number of poles is fixed, the most convenient way to adjust the motor speed is frequency conversion. That is to say, as long as you add a frequency converter, you can change the speed of the motor. This speed adjustment can be stepless, and relatively few changes to the machine. However, because the fixed-speed motor cooling fan is fixed on the motor shaft. So after turning down the speed, the fan speed is also reduced. The frequency conversion motor fan is powered separately, and the change of the motor speed does not affect the cooling fan speed. So, in fact, this still needs to be changed slightly to avoid burning the motor. The final output speed change can be achieved with a gearbox.

Since there are few moving parts, motors without brushes and commutators (such as AC (alternating current) induction motors) have the longest service life.

Balancing your electric motor before flying it for the first time makes a massive difference to limiting vibrations and will help to prevent screws and joints loosening, and your plane shaking apart, not to mention increasing the lifespan of your motor. How to balance a Brushless motor?
This passage is going to talk about the followings of balance Brushless motor:
(1) What is balancing Brushless motor?
(2) Things you need to check
(3) Steps to balance your Brushless motor
The dynamic balance of the motor is to adjust the imbalance of the motor rotor. There are two general process methods, one is the weighting method, and the other is the deweighting method. As for the separation of the imbalance, the two-plane separation method is often used. The unbalanced amount caused by the increase and decrease of the two planes is superimposed to remove the partial weight of the rotor to achieve the adjustment of the rotor unbalance.
The following are some things you need to check or change when you are looking for or changing the smooth running of the machine:
1. If you have a universal joint, especially a brushless universal joint, make sure that the vibration does not come from the universal joint motor. In this case, please re-adjust the gimbal controller.
One. Move the pan/tilt stand as close to the CG as possible. CG is the position with the lowest vibration amplitude.
b. Try to install the gimbal harder or more firmly, sometimes the cause of damping (too soft).
2. Do not use cheap plastic props, such as GemFan. They have poor tracking performance and will not maintain their shape under load (and noisy).
3. Do not use cheap carbon fiber propeller clones, such as RCTimer and Foxtech. They track poorly and are often too rigid to work effectively.
4. Make sure that all motor brackets, pillar adapters and gimbal frame screws have been tightened.
5. Check that all motor shafts and support adapters are completely straight. Neither balance nor damping will heal a bent shaft.
6. Check to make sure that each prop is at least within .4 mm (.015 inches) and track from start to finish. Insufficient balance or shock absorption can cure poor tracking props.
7. Balance all props on the magnetic balancer (see "Propeller Balance")
8. Balance motor. Sometimes even expensive servers need to do this, and cheap servers (such as NTM) always need to be balanced.
9. If there is still unacceptable jelly, please consider changing the propeller size and motor Kv to change the vibration frequency.
Here is how to balance the motor quickly and easily:
Screw your motor onto a piece of wood or turn the Power Pod upside down so that the firewall is in direct contact with a hard surface (in this case a hardwood). This is very important; this is how the vibration is transmitted to the smartphone.
Get a vibrometer app (measure vibration) for your smartphone and set it to run on a hard surface next to the motor.
Tie a tie on your motor bell (remove the propeller first, then balance separately)
Note that it is not very tight. You need to be able to rotate it and finally remove it.
Please note that due to the additional "knob" where the tie clip is located, the tie will cause a weight shift. This is the secret.
If you are using a Power Pod, put some weight on it to prevent it from moving
Speed up the motor and pay attention to the maximum vibration value.
Stop the motor, then rotate the tightening band a quarter turn, and then repeat the vibration measurement.
Repeat until all 4 readings are obtained.
Please pay attention to the lowest reading and the lowest reading at the position of the "knob" on the bell belt. This is how you need to add tape to balance the position of the motor, as I did: after adding this small electrical component After the tape, I tested it again. The vibration is not even recorded on the seismograph app! I don’t have to adjust or add any other tape. To be honest, I am surprised that it has brought such a big change! When I held the Power Pod and started the motor, the difference in front and rear vibration shocked me.
If you wish, you can perform the same 4-digit test again, perhaps 45 degrees (8 rotations) from the previous starting position to make the balance more accurate. That's it, very easy!
