Can the motor overheat due to poor grounding?
The electric motor is in good working at another facility. Moved to a private house, connected 3 phases and ground. Grounding - a metal pin driven into the ground, how long - is not known. Can the motor overheat due to poor grounding? Sincerely, Alexander.
Hello! Grounding should not cause the motor to overheat. The engine is powered by three phases of the electrical network, and grounding serves to protect people from electric shock in case of breakdown of insulation and the appearance of dangerous potential on the metal parts of the motor housing. One of the reasons for motor overheating may be voltage imbalance in the phases of the supply network. Also, the engine may overheat due to overload.
