- Abstract
In hen houses air quality plays an important role in egg production volume. However, failure of fan induction motors often occurs and it is important to improve reliability of these. A motor reliability study was conducted in the egg processing plant 'Balticovo' in Iecava. Results show that 86% of failed number from 2010-2015 occur in hen houses and more than 50% of them were failures of motors which drive the fan. Annual failure rate of fan induction motors each year was increasing and in 2015 it was 6%. Investigations of the faulty motors showed the following defects -- stator turn to turn failure of stator winding insulation leadwire and stator winding insulation thermal stress and mechanical damage of stator core resulting in the damaged stator winding leading to a short circuit. Results show that conditions that could contribute to such defects are excessive heating and vibrations.
