Heat causes motors to wear out prematurely. Whenever a motor overheats, some amount of time is subtracted from its operating life expectancy. Discussed in the article are stages showing how heat harms motors, standard operating conditions, limits on operating environment temperature, and steps to prevent premature wear.
