Discover how IVS Incorporated excels in automation repairs and services, ensuring your systems run smoothly and efficiently.
When a three-phase motor trips its overload or draws current it shouldn't, a short sequence of tests with a multimeter, a megohmmeter, and a clamp meter will tell you whether the motor is genuinely bad, whether the fault lives upstream in the starter or drive, or whether the problem was never electrical at all.

A variable frequency drive rarely fails without warning—it throws a fault code first. That code tells you where the drive thinks the problem is, but it describes a symptom, not a root cause. Here's what the fault codes you actually see on a plant floor are pointing at, and how to test a VFD safely when the code alone isn't enough.

A programmable logic controller can run for years without complaint—right up until the moment it doesn't, and a production line goes quiet. When that happens, the difference between a ten-minute fix and a ten-hour outage usually comes down to two things: how well the PLC was maintained, and how methodically it gets troubleshot.

When a servo-driven axis starts faulting, positioning erratically, or refusing to move, the motor is the obvious suspect—but it isn't always the guilty one. Before you pull a servo and send it out (or worse, replace a healthy motor), a handful of straightforward tests will tell you whether the motor is actually the problem or whether the fault lives in the drive, the cabling, or the feedback path.
