    help with spindle motor winding resistance 10hp

    Hi

    Someone knows de resistance value phase to phase for a AC spindle motor 10hp, A06B-1008-B200.

    I read 0,008 ohms, is a 200V 35amp motor, I have over current in dc link, but with a 2.2kw motor it Works

    Thanks

    phase to phase is a short.
    any phase to ground should be greater than 100Megohm

    yes, but I need to know resistance value pahse to pase for this kind of motor to determine if is good or not, I think that is about 0.040 ohms, but I have 0.008.

    Are all of the phase to phase readings the same? 0.008 does seem a bit low.

    Yes all three with the same value, I have a driver error over current in dc link, but with a little 2.2kw motor driver works. Fanuc doesn´t have resistance winding data for this type of motor

    Re: help with spindle motor winding resistance 10hp

    I just checked my A06B-0754-B200 7.5KW, 31 amp. I get about 0.1 ohm phase to phase, measured at the drive

    I used my Fluke 87-V meter.

    Thanks, do you have any way to draw the motor with 1 amp DC for example and measure the voltage in mv, or a megger. FKUKE V87 resolution is 0.1 ohms only

    Just use a D cell battery, connect a 10 gauge wire, 1 foot or 10 feet long. compare the voltage across the wire with the voltage across the coils in the motor. 1 foot of 10 awg is very close to .0010 ohms. you'll need to check both voltage a few times because the current is going to start dropping pretty quickly. or use two volt meters at the same time.

    For spindle windings you can use an LCR meter. They are much cheaper than a milli ohm meter and give a much clearer answer if your windings are good or bad by measuring inductance. I use this one: https://www.peakelec.co.uk/acatalog/lcr40-atlas-lcr-meter.html

    unfortunately both of the strangers in this thread would have to have the same lcr meter to get any meaningful information.

    Very true, I think it would get close, but that is not really the best way to test a motor. I have a LCR meter but I'm not sure the results would be meaningful. I'm running a job in the lathe so tearing into it to get some readings is not going to happen. If I had the motor on the bench, then I would spend the time to set up a proper test.

    I would take the motor to a motor shop and have it checked out. That motor is a standard 3 phase induction motor, not a servo. Running it on a 3 phase line and getting amp readings would be the best test.

    unfortunately 8milliohms sounds like a direct short across more than just one coil of wire, more like a coil group or between several coils. you'll know really quickly if you have a shorted turn. maybe with a thermal camera you could fix it before a complete rewind is required.

    Re: help with spindle motor winding resistance 10hp

    Hi,
    I have a milliohm meter, not an expensive one , but still about $800USD. Does a good job down to 1mOhm at about 1%
    but will read down to 10uOhm at about 10%. Has proven to be very useful in detecting faults in transformers and high current
    paths in welders.

    At 8 mOhm is pretty low, what confidence do you have in the accuracy and repeatability of that measurement?

    I think you would be better off trying to measure the inductance of the coils, Any shorted turns would show up very dramatically
    in an inductance measurement.

    Hi, inductance is 0.9mH, I´have used a WAYNE KERR 6425 RLC METER

    Hi,
    what about the other two phases? Inductance imbalance is quite pronounced in faulty three phase machines.

    Re: help with spindle motor winding resistance 10hp

    I have to check it, all that I have is the report from a repair center. When I test the motor with my oscilloscope and a current probe, motor draws 180 amp on start up. Repair center saids that in star configuration motor has 0,23 ohms, and in delta 0,003 ohms!!!!

    Re: help with spindle motor winding resistance 10hp

    some thing does not add up

    if the 0.23 ohms is the resistance of 2 coils in series

    the resistance across 2 wires from the Delta connected motor
    will be one coil in parallel with the other 2 coils connected in in series

    the resistance will be
    the product divided by sum of the parallel resistances

    0.115 x 0.23 divided by 0.115 +0.23

    = 0.02645/0.345
    = 0.0766 ohms which is a lot more than the Repair center said


    0,003 ohms looks more like a short circuit

    Re: help with spindle motor winding resistance 10hp

    Thanks John-100, is what I´ve seen.
    Now I only need to measure a good motor to compare, or a FANUC motor specs to claim at repair center.
    I´m wating for FANUC EU answer

    Anyone else has a FANUC spindle motor and a low resistance meter?
