When possible, it is good practice to perform an uncoupled, no-load run on an induction motor as an incoming diagnostic test. A no-load run should also be performed after assembly, and ANSI/EASA AR100-2020 states that “no-load running tests should be made at rated voltage and rated frequency.” In this article, we’ll discuss some of the reasons why this is important and some things to consider when you cannot meet both requirements.

Como forma de diagnóstico y cuando sea posible, una buena práctica consiste en probar en vacío un motor de inducción que entra al centro de servicios. Esta misma prueba también se debe efectuar después del ensamblaje y la norma ANSI/ EASA AR100-2020 establece que "las pruebas en vacío se deben realizar a la tensión y frecuencia nominales". En este artículo, discutiremos algunas de las razones por las que esto es importante y algunos factores a considerar cuando no se puede cumplir con ambos requisitos.
