Do we use insulated bearings for ALL induction motors?
2015-08-17NOT Exactly.
The bearings in induction motors can benefit from insulated bearings where shaft currents are high and use
the bearings as a route to earth. Most induction motors do not suffer with this problem however, those fed up
withVariable Frequency Drives can and do. If you feel that your application would benefit from some form of
protection, there are other solutions can be adopted as well as insulated bearings. But for present, Insulated
bearings are no wonder the best solution for this purpose.
