Good Morning ,
I am working on a new project and I am using 3 Inverter Duty motors. 2 - 5 HP motors and 1 - 3 HP motor. I am using PowerFlex 525 drives and using them in SVC mode. I tuned the motors before installing them in the machine.
I ran them , somewhat loaded , for about 4 hours yesterday , and the motors , during the tail end of these 4 hours , got somewhat hot. I could hold my hane on them , somewhat.
What would cause these motors to heat up so much ? Do you think the drives are causing these motors to heat up ? If so , what setting would be causing this ? Should I re-tune the motors while they are attached to the gearboxes and the rollers they are turning ?
Thanks so much for you advice. Have a great day .
