Vibration in an induction motor is always caused by mechanical unbalance.
Which of the following can also cause vibration in an induction motor besides mechanical unbalance?
Electrical faults
Proper lubrication
Low ambient temperature
Balanced rotor
Vibration in an induction motor can be minimized by:
Reducing the supply voltage
Removing the foundation bolts
Ensuring proper alignment and balance
Increasing the load beyond rated value
True or False: Electrical issues such as unbalanced supply voltage can lead to vibration in induction motors.
True
False
An increase in vibration amplitude over time may indicate progressive mechanical wear.
Temperature changes in bearings have no significant effect on vibration readings.
A baseline vibration test should only be performed after the motor has been running for several months.
Vibration severity standards such as ISO 10816 help classify acceptable vibration levels for rotating machines.
Resonance occurs when the motor’s natural frequency matches an external excitation frequency.
Unbalance typically causes high vibration in the radial direction and at 1× running speed.
Which maintenance practice can help in early detection of vibration issues in induction motors?
Ignoring minor noise
Regular vibration monitoring
Overloading the motor
Reducing lubrication intervals
True or False: Misalignment between the motor and the driven equipment can increase vibration levels.
True
False
Which of the following is NOT a common cause of increased vibration in induction motors?
Proper shaft alignment
Loose mounting bolts
Rotor imbalance
Worn bearings
An unbalanced rotor will always cause equal vibration on both drive and non-drive ends.
The acceleration signal is most useful for detecting low-frequency vibration issues like unbalance.
