» Beware the danger of dust to electric motors
Wednesday, 29 April 2015
While an electric motor is
doing its job and operating normally, it’s easy to ignore potential hazards
such as moisture, heat and dust. Why dust, you ask? If dust particles suspended
in the air are fine enough, they may find their way into an electric motor and once
inside can cause damage in a number of ways:
To help prevent dust contamination, users should choose a
motor with the relevant Ingress Protection (IP) rating. The IP system
classifies the degree of protection against intrusion from objects, dust and
moisture by mechanical and electrical equipment casings. This rating ranges
from no special protection (0) to hermetically-sealed enclosures that guard
fully against dust (6).
If it’s too late for your electric motor and you’d like it
repaired, we provide a free collection and delivery service within a 50-mile
radius of our workshop and offer an emergency next-day service wherever possible.
There’s a 12-month warranty on repairs and we can attend site if required, so
call Matthew Gibbons on 07970676272 or email matthew.gibbons@gibbonsgroup.co.uk
