Ship S Band Radar scanner motor is tripping on overload, only 2 phase is taking 4 amps, and motor Full load amps is 1 amps. removed motor and checked all the phase ohms are 34 amps. again connected and the problem exists. Furno s band radar.
Knowing not much more than you've said, all I can say is if the motor resistance is OK and the current isn't, then it has to be the supply to the motor that is not correct. Check your voltages.
Onboard a ship you probably have a corrosion issue, check the bearings and the gearbox, could be an interference issue, did you run the motor while it was removed from the radar? check downstream from there.

If it is right that only two phases are operating at the motor, that is likely to be the cause of the overcurrent. In effect, the two live phases are acting as a single phase supply across the motor which will be stalled, drawing excess current.
I have checked voltages 452,452,452, 60Hz between phases.
Yes
we run the motor while it was removed from the radar it was taking 1 amps each
phase
There is no problem with
the energy source
Yes, you are rite
Geoffrey36 only two phases are operating at the motor, which is likely to be
the cause of the over current.
There is one circuit board
between the supply and the motor to reduce the starting torque and to start the
motor smoothly. Like a soft starter, that circuit board has failed and it was
tripping on over load. The circuit board only controls one phase. Now we have
connected directly and running it. Thanks for all your response.
