I. Introduction Due to the long service life of most motors, and the fact that many operate in harsh environments year after year, motor burnout accidents are frequent and on the rise, seriously affecting the safe, reliable, and long-term operation of production. This article provides a brief analysis and introduction to the causes of motor burnout and corresponding countermeasures, hoping to be helpful to those engaged in electrical work and safety management.II. Causes and Countermeasures for Partial Burnout of Motor Windings 1. Due to poor sealing of the motor itself, coupled with leaks and spills in the environment, water or other corrosive liquids or gases can enter the motor, causing corrosion of the motor winding insulation. The most severely affected areas or the weakest points in the insulation may experience point-to-ground, phase-to-phase, or turn-to-turn short circuits, leading to partial burnout of the motor windings. Corresponding countermeasures: ① Minimize leaks and spills in the process and machinery; ② During maintenance, ensure proper sealing of every part of the motor, such as applying a small amount of 704 sealant to each flange, applying grease to bolts, and installing anti-splash boxes at junction boxes if necessary. Protective covers should be installed where the motor is exposed to easily intruded liquids and contaminants; ③ For motors operating in this environment, shorten the minor and intermediate repair cycles, and perform intermediate repairs promptly in severe cases. 2. Due to bearing damage, shaft bending, or other reasons, friction between the stator and rotor (commonly known as rotor rubbing) causes a rapid rise in core temperature, burning out slot insulation and turn-to-turn insulation, resulting in turn-to-turn short circuits or "explosion" to ground in the windings. In severe cases, it can cause stator core slotting, misalignment, shaft wear, and end cover failure. Bearing damage is generally caused by the following reasons: ① Improper bearing assembly, such as uneven tapping of the bearing inner ring during cold assembly, causing shaft wear, resulting in a loss of interference fit between the bearing inner ring and the bearing, or a decrease in interference fit, leading to inner ring slippage. Uneven tapping during motor end cover assembly can cause the end cover bearing housing and bearing outer ring to have an excessively loose fit, resulting in outer ring slippage. Both inner and outer ring slippage will cause a sharp rise in bearing operating temperature, leading to burnout. In particular, inner ring slippage will cause severe shaft wear and bending. However, intermittent outer ring slippage generally will not cause a sharp rise in bearing temperature, and intermittent outer ring slippage is permissible as long as the bearing is intact. ② The bearing cavity is not cleaned properly or the grease applied is not clean. For example, if small rigid substances in the bearing cage are not thoroughly cleaned, the bearing raceway will be damaged during operation, causing excessive temperature rise and burning out the bearing. ③ The bearing was replaced and re-machined. Excessive interference fit or excessive ellipticity after the motor end cover was nested caused insufficient or uneven ball clearance, leading to increased friction during operation, a rapid temperature rise, and eventual burnout. ④ Axial misalignment of the stator and rotor cores or insufficient precision after re-machining of the shaft caused the inner and outer rings of the bearing to be on different planes, resulting in the bearing experiencing "interference" during operation, leading to temperature rise and eventual burnout. ⑤ Excessive temperature rise of the motor body during operation, coupled with untimely replenishment of grease, caused bearing lack of lubrication and even burnout. ⑥ Mixing different types of grease caused bearing damage. ⑦ Manufacturing quality problems with the bearing itself, such as raceway rust, inflexible rotation, excessive clearance, cage deformation, etc. ⑧ The standby machine has not been used for a long time, resulting in deteriorated grease and rusted bearings without intermediate repair. Corresponding countermeasures: ① When disassembling and assembling bearings, they should generally be heated to 80℃~100℃, such as by using a bearing heater or boiling in transformer oil. Only in this way can the assembly quality of the bearing be guaranteed. ② Before installing bearings, they must be thoroughly cleaned. No impurities should remain in the bearing cavity, and the grease must be clean before adding it. ③ Avoid unnecessary shaft machining and motor end cover nesting. ④ When assembling the motor, ensure the stator and rotor cores are aligned and not misaligned. ⑤ The motor casing must be clean and of its original color. Ventilation must be guaranteed, the cooling system must be free of scale, and the fan blades must be in good working order. ⑥ Do not mix different types of lubricating grease. ⑦ Before installing bearings, conduct a comprehensive and thorough inspection to ensure their integrity. ⑧ For motors that have not been used for a long time, a necessary disassembly inspection must be performed before use, and the bearing grease must be replaced. 3. Due to the long winding ends or localized damage, friction with the end cover or other accessories can cause partial burning of the windings. Corresponding countermeasures: When replacing motor windings, the windings must be wound according to the original specifications. During motor maintenance, no rigid objects are allowed to touch the windings. When removing the rotor core, the rotor must be lifted to prevent friction between the stator and rotor cores. When using open flames, the windings must be isolated from the flames and a certain distance must be maintained. Before reinstalling the motor, the integrity of the windings must be carefully checked and confirmed. 4. Due to prolonged overload or overheating operation, the winding insulation ages rapidly, and carbonization at the weakest point of the insulation causes inter-turn short circuits, phase-to-phase short circuits, or short circuits to ground, leading to partial burnout of the windings. Corresponding countermeasures: ① Avoid overload operation of the motor as much as possible. ② Ensure the motor is clean and well-ventilated. ③ Avoid frequent motor starts; if necessary, perform a dynamic balancing test on the motor rotor. 5. The motor winding insulation is subjected to mechanical vibration (such as large current impact during startup, vibration of the driven equipment, motor rotor imbalance, etc.), causing defects such as inter-turn loosening and insulation cracks in the windings. The destructive effect accumulates continuously, and thermal expansion and contraction cause friction on the windings, thus accelerating insulation aging, ultimately leading to the destruction of the first carbonized insulation and even burnout of the windings. Corresponding countermeasures: ① Avoid frequent starts as much as possible, especially for high-voltage motors. ② Ensure that the vibration values of the driven equipment and motor are within the specified range. III. Causes and Countermeasures for Burnout (or Overheating) of One or Two Phases of a Three-Phase Asynchronous Motor Winding If one or two phases of a motor winding burn out (or overheat), it is generally due to single-phase operation. A detailed theoretical analysis will not be provided here, only a brief explanation. Figure 1 shows the case of a three-phase asynchronous motor winding in a delta connection: [img=514,161]http://co.163.com/neteaseivp/resource/paper/doc/2006581147073192632/image001.jpg[/img] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of single-phase operation of a Y-connected motor. When a phase is lost for any reason (as shown in Figure 1b), although the motor can still continue to run, the speed decreases and the slip increases. Phases B and C become series connected and then parallel to phase A. Under constant load, the current in phase A becomes excessive. After prolonged operation, the winding of this phase will inevitably overheat and burn out. Figure 2 shows the case of a three-phase asynchronous motor with a Y-connected winding: After a phase loss (as shown in Figure 2b), the motor can still continue to run, but the speed will decrease significantly, the slip will increase, and the rate at which the magnetic field cuts the conductor will increase. At this time, the B-phase winding is open-circuited, and the A and C-phase windings become connected in series and the current is too large. After running for a long time, both phase windings will burn out simultaneously. [img=551,218]http://co.163.com/neteaseivp/resource/paper/doc/2006581147073192632/image002.jpg[/img] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a motor with a Y-connection and a single phase loss. It should be noted that if a stopped motor is missing one phase of the power supply and then switched on, it will generally only produce a humming sound and will not start. This is because when a symmetrical three-phase AC current is applied to the motor, a circular rotating magnetic field is generated in the stator core. However, when one phase of the power supply is missing, a single-phase pulsating magnetic field is generated in the stator core, which cannot generate starting torque for the motor. Therefore, a motor cannot start when a phase is missing. However, during operation, the motor generates an elliptical rotating magnetic field with high three-phase harmonic components in the air gap. Therefore, a running motor can still operate after a phase loss, but the magnetic field becomes distorted, and harmful current components increase sharply, ultimately leading to winding burnout. Corresponding countermeasures: Regardless of whether the motor is static or dynamic, the direct harm of single-phase operation is overheating or even burnout of one or two phase windings. Simultaneously, overcurrent operation of the power cable accelerates insulation aging. Especially in static conditions, a single phase loss will generate a locked-rotor current several times the rated current in the motor windings. The winding burnout speed is faster and more severe than a sudden single-phase loss during operation. Therefore, while performing routine maintenance and repairs on the motor, a comprehensive inspection and testing of the corresponding MCC functional units is essential. In particular, the reliability of the load switch, power lines, and static and dynamic contacts must be carefully checked. Single-phase operation must be prevented. IV.

Conclusion From its trial production in 1987 to March 2002, over a period of 15 years, the Kingboard Group suffered over 1,300 instances of motor burnout, averaging over 80 instances per year, with repair costs alone exceeding 2 million yuan. Of these, 77% were caused by poor maintenance (such as water ingress into the motor, insufficient bearing lubrication, and poor ventilation), improper repair (such as improper bearing disassembly and assembly, incomplete defect elimination, and incomplete accessories), substandard machining precision (such as insufficient machining precision after welding of the shaft, and excessive interference fit of the end cap), and harsh operating environment (such as severe leaks and spills on-site, and water-flushing of the motor). It is hoped that the above analysis will be helpful and informative for those working in electrical engineering.
