Is the Motor on a Tricycle Afraid of Water?

[MacHarmony]

Afraid of water. Motor water ingress is a relatively common issue, frequently occurring during the rainy season. In general, low-end motors are not tightly sealed at the wiring outlet and end cover assembly, making them prone to water ingress. The iron core and magnetic steel can rust, leading to a sharp decline in motor efficiency until the motor becomes unusable. Motor maintenance: Keep the environment dry: The operating environment should always remain dry, the motor surface should be kept clean, and the air intake should not be obstructed by dust, fibers, etc. When the motor's thermal protection repeatedly trips, determine whether the fault originates from the motor itself, overload, or if the protection device setting is too low. Only after resolving the fault can the motor be put back into operation. Ensure proper lubrication: The motor should maintain good lubrication during operation. Generally, after about 5,000 hours of operation, the lubricant should be replenished or replaced. If bearing overheating or lubricant deterioration is observed during operation, the lubricant should be promptly replaced.
