#MotorTalkMonday – protecting your motors from contamination
External conditions, including contamination from dirt, moisture, and other environmental factors, cause up to 19% of motor failures. So what can you do to protect your motor against these external factors? First and foremost, it is important to ensure that you are using the correct IP ratings to protect your motor. The motor’s application and environment will need to be taken into consideration to determine which IP rating will be most appropriate.
There are other basic measures you can use to protect your motors as well, including seals, come slingers, and drip covers. To learn more about how to protect your motors, give us a call at (918)366-9320, or email us at us-tulsasalessuport@abb.com today!
