Electric Motor Maintenance

Electric motors are composed mainly of a stator and a rotor. They convert electrical energy into mechanical energy through the action of magnetic fields generated in their coils, located in the stator.

Electric motors do not have a constant speed, have high performance (approximately 75%), have high and constant torque (depending on the type of motor), do not need external cooling or external ventilation (are self-ventilated), and are generally more efficient than their combustion equivalents.

Maintenance of electric motors is considered vital as it guarantees correct operation, prevents faults, and increases useful life. It can be classified as preventive and corrective maintenance.

<p>Preventive maintenance of electric motors involves periodic verification of operation, performance of procedures (adjustments, lubrication, revision, etc.), and replacement of parts recommended by the manufacturer based on the workload of the motor. It is performed according to maintenance planning activities and should interfere as little as possible in routine operation.</p> Signup and view all the answers
