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 - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Tractor Club Beginnings - by Dave Gohl. I was surprised about a month ago when I got a call from a fellow tractor croonie. His message was interesting and to the point. He's says "Dave, I've been thinking about starting a Two Cylinder club for our area. What do ya think?" It was a loaded question. I said that I would be interested, and was wondering what his next step was. (Although I was talking under my breath, since I thought of this some years ago) My friend, Arlyn Lamb of Lakeville, Minnesota was sincere in his miss
