Abstract

An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Motors are found in many diverse applications. Motors may be powered by DC or AC. A commonly used motor is the single phase Ac induction motor. Motors need to be maintained. Improper care of motors may result in noise or overheating. Sources of noise may be the belt, shaft, start switch, bearings etc. Noise can also result from improper motor selection, overheating or dirt collection. Noise may be described as squealing, whistling, crunching or grinding. Inappropriate noises are indicators of more serious problems. Motor failure can result from such problems.
