Abstract

Results of investigating bearing currents in high power induction motors are presented in the paper. The tests have been carried out in specialized industrial laboratory, where it is possible to achieve direct start of high-power induction motors supplied from 1000 V network. The bearing damages due to bearing currents are demonstrated. It has been proven that when motor operates within definite range of temperature and rotational speed, impulses of bearing currents dangerous to the bearings appear. The presented research results describe damage hazard to durability of motor and load bearing units.
