🗑
_____ unbalance is the unbalance that occurs when lines are out-of-phase.   Phase  
🗑
Single phasing is the maximum condition of ____.   Voltage Unbalance  
🗑
All motors produce ____ as they convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.   Heat  
🗑
A ____ is the application of too much load to a motor.   Overload  
🗑

🗑
The ____ of a belt is measured from the center of the drive pulley   Span  
🗑
____ is usually corrected by placing shims under the feet of the motor or driven equipment.   Misalignment  
🗑

🗑
True/False : As phase unbalance increases, motor temperature decreases.   False  
🗑
True/False: Motors with a voltage unbalance require derating.   True  
🗑
True/False: Voltage unbalance causes blackening of all stator windings.   False  
🗑
True/False: Single phasing of a delta-connected motor causes severe burning and distortion to two or more phase coils.   False  
🗑
True/False: Over cycling occurs when a motor is repeatedly turned ON or OFF.   True  
🗑
True/False: Couplers compensate for misalignment of the motor and driven load.   True  
🗑
True/False: To force dry a motor, heat is applied for approximately 18-30 hours.   True
