Confirm direction to suit correct fan rotation. Rotation shall be clockwise, when view from discharge air stream. Check motor current with clip on Ammeter for all phases. Check the RPM of fan shaft using Tachometer. Run the motor in coupled condition for 30 minutes to check abnormality. Run fan/motor and inspect for excessive noise, run out, heating or vibration of any part. Check motor loading. If the starting torque trips vibration switch, allow the machine to stop.
