My inspector just showed me some vibration data on a motor when it's solo run. See attached. The concern is that the 2x line frequency spike (as it indicates an electrical issue). I verified some basic electrical parameters and found nothing abnormal. Both votlages and currents are all balanced. Motor with load (pump) runs at about 130 amps each phase balanced. The following is the motor info:
700HP, 2400V, FLA=160amps, 3-PH, 3600RPM
Just curious to know how to further verify the problem (if any) of this 2x line frequency spike; what kinda tests can be done to indentify any potential issues? Thanks.
