resistive imbalance it can be caused by the circuit and/or the windings. To find the “real” imbalance of the motor windings take another test at the motor terminals, thus eliminating the circuit. If the imbalance is in fact caused by the windings, then it will show up as a higher imbalance than when tested from the MCC. For example, a test from the MCC with three resistance readings of .1700, .1600, and .1755 will give us a 5.2% imbalance. After taking a perfectly balanced cable run out of the measurement, and testing from the motor leads, we would get .0700, .0600, and .0750 which will give us a 12.2%.
You have heard us many times discussing the effectiveness of an In-Rush/Start-Up test as a critical piece of information in assessing a variety of potential anomalies in components such as the stator, rotor, power, and load. Capturing the In-Rush/Start-Up during the start of an electric motor allows the capture of data when the motor is under extreme stress and more likely to expose anomalies.
