Question for sparkies. I have a 25 year old 3-phase asynchronous motor of 0.37 kW, driving an overhead door.
The motor is set up for star mode (not triangle). Between junction point (L1 and L2) I measure 42 Ohm, and the same value between (L1 and L3) and between (L2 and L3). Between L1 and the star point I measure 21 Ohm, and the same value for L2 and L3. So all three coils seem to be nicely identical.
I have a new motor with identical specs, although of different make. For this new motor the resistance values are 54 Ohm and 27 Ohm respectively. The new motor was bought because the old one trips the safety relay in the control box of the overhead door drive at irregular intervals.
Is the old motor bad because the Ohm values are higher? Or is the problem (tripping) somewhere else? I'm really puzzled here.
Note: I'm writing from The Netherlands where we have 230/400 V 3-phase at 50 Hz.
Any and all insight you can provide will be much appreciated. Thanks, Hendrik

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
