How a webinar works

All EASA private webinars are live events in which the audio and video are streamed to your computer over the Internet. Prior to the program, you will receive a web link to join the meeting. 

The presentation portion of the webinar will last about 45 minutes, followed by about 15 minutes of questions and answers.

Requirements

  • Internet connection
  • Computer with audio input (microphone) and audio output (speakers) appropriate for your size group
  • TV or projector/screen

The Zoom webinar service EASA uses will ask to install a small plugin. Your computer must be configured to allow this in order to have full functionality. Please check with your IT department or company's security policy prior to scheduling a private webinar.

Private Webinars

EASA's private webinars are an inexpensive way to bring an EASA engineer into your service center, place of business or group meeting without incurring travel expenses or lost production time.

Simple tests to assure proper DC motor performance

There are many tests that can be performed on a DC motor to verify the integrity of windings, correct coil polarities and proper running perfor­mance. What we will address in this article are a select few simple tests that can help assure a motor operates properly when the customer applies it. Our intent is not to oversimplify and suggest that performing these tests alone is all that is required for an effective repair. Rather, the intent is to highlight some tests that give a maximum return for the time invested in testing. 

The tests we will cover are drop testing fields, checking interpole polarity, checking compound field polarity, brushholder spacing, setting neutral and two-way run testing. All of these tests can usually be per­formed with the motor assembled, although in some cases the end bracket on the commutator end may need to be removed to access the field lead connections.
