Hi all,
I am testing a variety of 3-phase (wye) motors. In my testing, one of my motors is triggering an overcurrent fault. I checked the resistance of the windings (between 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and 1 and 3) and the winding resistance is actually higher than the specification. The winding resistance is also higher than the other motors that I tested.
I’d be violating Ohm’s Law if I said the overcurrent fault was triggered by the high winding resistance. Could an overcurrent fault actually be triggered by this high winding resistance causing some other issue? Is there anything else on the motor that I should be measuring or comparing to the other motors?
