Heat, dirt, vibration and moisture are a motor's worst enemies. Heat reduces insulation life and eventually causes failure. Dirt clogs air passages and causes heat build up. Moisture corrodes terminals and insulation. Excessive vibration can shake windings loose and mechanically damages insulation by cracking, flaking or abrading the material.

The key to minimizing motor problems is scheduled routine inspections and service. The frequency depends on the amount of use and application of the motor. Tennessee Armature and Electric can customize a preventive maintenance program for your specific plant operation based on the duty cycle and individual characteristics of your equipment. These routine inspections extend the operational life of your critical components and prevent costly shutdowns and safety issues.
