Safety considerations for the application, installation, operation and maintenance of industrial AC induction motors

Hazardous conditions that can cause serious damage to equipment and create unsafe conditions for personnel are identified. The scope of the work is limited to industrial AC induction motors, even though much of it is appropriate to other types of electrical motors. The types of conditions covered include environmental, mechanical, electrical, and other hazards. Solutions to these problems include mechanical guards, proper and adequate grounding, proper and adequate spacing, and testing
