16.Why motor insulation deteriorates

September 26, 2018 Posted by AK No comments
a.Moisture – results in decrease in the measured value of insulation resistance.
b. Dust & dirt deposits – reduces insulation resistance & failure of insulation due to oxidation.
c. Oil & Grease – prevents heat dissipation & causes dirt and dust to settle on the insulation.
d. Ageing – over the period of time the insulation deteriorates due to it getting affected by temperature variation, mechanical stresses, vibrations, moisture and some varnish tend to become hard with age & crack during the operation
e. Temperature – Excessive temperature dehydrates and oxidizes the insulation, making it brittle & disintegrate under vibration & shock
