A 3-phase motor with an FLA of 25 amps shows readings of A phase 26a, B phase 26.9a, C phase 27a. What can be deduced about this motor?

The readings for each phase of the motor—A phase at 26 amps, B phase at 26.9 amps, and C phase at 27 amps—are all slightly above the full load amperage (FLA) of 25 amps. However, these values are not significantly exceeding the FLA, suggesting that the motor is operating within an acceptable range.

In three-phase motors, it's common to have some variation in current readings across phases due to factors such as load imbalance, but the small difference in this case implies that the motor is likely functioning properly. No significant distortions in current are indicative of critical operating issues. The motor can tolerate minor fluctuations above the FLA without being considered overloaded, which typically involves much higher current readings.

Thus, since the phase currents are close to the rated FLA and do not demonstrate symptoms of overloads or need for adjustments, the most fitting conclusion is that the motor is operating fine in its current state.
