There are basically 4 problems that the motor windings can suffer from: 2.3 PHASE SEQUENCE TEST Broken coil (infinite coil resistance) It works on the principle of Induction Motor. The principle Short-circuited coil (less than normal or zero of rotating type phase sequence indicator is like that coil resistance) phase motor. Consider the working of a motor for a better Leaking coil to ground (current leaking from understanding of these indicators. one coil to ground/neutral) Two or more coils short-circuited with each For this motors, we require three phase power supply, other (current leaking from one coil to another whereas thus three phase Power must be supplied in a coil) sequence. Let us assume that the three-phase supply given to the motor has a phase sequence of RYB, then the motor All of the above problems can be detected with a simple will rotate in clockwise direction and if the phase Ohm-meter. First of all, you need to understand how the sequence of supply is reversed, then the motor will rotate coils are connected with the six motor leads that exist in in antilock wise direction. This may cause severe problem the electrical connection box. to the load and entire system. When a three-phase supply is given to the coils, then the coils will produce a rotating magnetic field, and this rotating magnetic field produces eddy EMF in routable aluminium disc. The eddy EMF produces eddy current on the aluminium disc, due to the interaction of the eddy current with the rotating magnetic field a torque is produced which causes the aluminium disc to rotate. The clockwise direction rotation of the disc indicates the sequence as RYB, and the anticlockwise rotation of the disc indicates the change in phase sequence.
