But if those two are not balanced and symmetrical, problems can occur. Today, we discuss the Air Gap in a motor. Air gap issues occur during the offset of the rotor and stator, which is why it is so important to regularly inspect and rotate motors.

Back in the 1840's, one of the first forms of insulation which was developed to prevent electricity from getting to a person or ground, was glass. Eventually in the late 1800's, insulation became things like porcelain, PVC, and rubber. Today, they use products like epoxy resin and synthetic polymers. Tune in to hear more about the evolution of insulation and why it is such an important part of motors.

Because energy costs are so high, we want to be efficient. A multi-year study done by EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) showed that connectors and conductors are the source of almost half of the faults, reducing motor efficiency.

We will be taking the mystery out of electric motors throughout this podcast to help industry professionals. Many people say smoke runs the motor, and the goal with electric motors is to keep the smoke in because it is very expensive to replace once it is out. Throughout this 12 part series, we will be diving deep and demystifying motors to make it more digestible so industry professionals can better understand how they operate. In order to become comfortable with making decisions pertaining to motors, you must first become comfortable with the motor itself.
