Electrical Technology
You are employed in a company as an electrician or
engineer responsible for a production line. Suddenly the production line comes
to a standstill. After a brief trouble-shooting phase it becomes clear that one
of the motors has failed. You immediately disassemble the motor from the system
and measure the insulation resistance of the windings. The measurements show
that there is a short circuit between two windings in the motor.
After
discussing the issue with the manufacturer you find out that delivery for this
type of motor can take up to three weeks due to the fact that the motor is not
a standard type but a special model.
Your boss
makes you responsible for solving this problem within the next four days
because the company cannot afford a more prolonged production loss period.
Since there is no other alternative; you decide to repair the machine yourself.
By chance,
you run across a manual which describes which materials you need to build just
such a machine. Naturally, it also contains a description of the individual
work steps needed to manufacture such a machine.
The tools and materials are quickly and easily
obtained and within one day you can begin winding the coils. You only have
three more days left to complete the machine and reassemble it in the
production line.
