Electric motor fluting: What is it and what causes it?
Jun 12 2017This parasitic capacitance induces a voltage—referred to as "common mode voltage"—on the motor shaft When voltage accumulates on a motor shaft it often finds the path of least resistance to ground via the motor bearings This causes pitting on the bearing surfaces and ultimately leads to fluting of the raceways Image credit: Fluke Inc

QIBR PPS
To prevent electric pitting QIBR developed PPS-resin coating insulated bearings and ceramic coating insulated bearings Relationship between temperature and insulation resistance of PPS-insulated bearings was assessed As a result no deterioration of insulation resistance up to 110 C was observed Condition Description Electrical
Do We Use Insulated Bearings for ALL Electric Motors and
Sep 25 2015Insulated bearings are needed in order to avoid unwanted wave currents and related bearing damage Magnetic and technically related asymmetries in stator core and winding can produce equalizing currents which flows between the housing and the shaft through the bearings
Electric Motor Power Loss and Heating
Electric Motor Power Loss and Heating: An Electric Motor Power Loss and Heating occurring in its various parts such as copper losses occurring in armature and field and eddy currents in the magnetic material used as a core and mechanical losses due to friction and windage These unavoidable Electric Motor Power Loss cause localized heating and are responsible for temperature rise of the motor
Insulated Bearings
as electric motors which can be affected by stray electrical currents is of the utmost importance Electrical leakage can cause damage to raceways and rolling elements when the motor uses the bearing as its route to ground This risk is greater in applications using frequency converters Insulated ball bearings offer a cost-effective method of
Standard Marathon Electric Motors
These bearing sizes are listed for standard motor execution! Customer specific motors can be fitted with a different bearing arrangement (such as roller bearing at DE and/or insulated bearing at NDE) Standard Marathon Electric Motors - Bearing Sizes BEARING SIZES Frame-pole HJN/LVX (cast iron) Frame-pole

Bearing Current Problems: Causes Symptoms and Solutions
In fact you can measure its driving voltage on motors with at least one bearing that's electrically insulated from the motor frame You can get a worst-case estimate of bearing current caused by this phenomenon by measuring the shaft end-to-end current per a method detailed in IEEE-112-2004 "IEEE Standard Test Procedure for Polyphase
Preventing Electrical Fluting in Motors
Dec 09 2013"This occurs in the bearings of the motor and as the bearing begins to fail it sets up a vibration in the motor The bearings will eventually fall apart and that could cause a motor failure " Luckily options exist to help prevent electrical fluting which more and more contractors are beginning to routinely include in their VFD
