Standard AC Motor: The Motor gets extremely hot. Is this all right?
Question 7: The Motor gets extremely hot. Is this all right?

Answer :
The internal loss generated when the motor converts electrical energy to rotational movement becomes heat, making the motor hot. The motor temperature is expressed as the ambient temperature plus the temperature rise caused by loss within the motor. If internal loss within the motor is 60°C and the ambient temperature is 30°C, the surface of the motor will be 90°C. This is not abnormal for a small motor.
