Those who have participated in motor tests or are actual users of motors may have encountered a situation where the motor may shake during startup or power outage. This issue has also been raised by fans. Today, we will have a brief discussion with everyone about this phenomenon.
During the motor testing process, if voltage or frequency regulation is used to start the motor, the starting process of the motor is relatively balanced. On the contrary, when the motor is started at the normal operating voltage, there will be a noticeable vibration phenomenon in the motor; Similarly, when a normally running motor suddenly loses power, similar phenomena occur, sometimes accompanied by noticeable noise.
Mechanical resonance effect
When the excitation frequency of the mechanical system in operation of the motor is close to the natural frequency of a certain stage of the system, obvious resonance phenomenon will occur, with obvious displacement resonance, and sometimes more obvious sound will be produced due to vibration. The vibration that occurs during the starting or power-off operation of the motor is a specific manifestation of resonance.
This type of problem also occurs during the use of variable frequency motors. Variable frequency motors may have particularly good operating effects in certain frequency bands, while there may be obvious electromagnetic noise in other frequency bands, and the fundamental reason is due to the effect of electromagnetic resonance.
The specific manifestation of inertia state change
The process of starting and stopping a motor is a process of inertia change, which refers to the process of changing the force on the operating object. The shorter the time of change and the greater the force, the more obvious the state change. The direct physical appearance is the vibration that can be felt by human intuition. For motor products, it may be the change in sound and displacement.
Therefore, it is necessary to fix the motor during installation and use, such as by fixing the motor foot surface, end cover flange surface with the installation reference, and adding other limiting measures if necessary. During the operation of the motor, fixed looseness may occur due to unavoidable vibration issues, so regular maintenance and upkeep are particularly necessary.
