MOTOR CIRCUIT ANALYSIS

HOW DO MOTORS FAIL?

Often electrical defects are the root cause, even when mechanical failure is the apparent cause. Motor circuit analysis can be used as a complimentary or stand-alone service using specialized motor circuit analysis tools and equipment to detect problems in motors. A study by the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI) confirmed that a major source of motor failures were electrical.

OUR MOTOR CIRCUIT ANALYSIS SERVICES CAN BE USED FOR:

Quality Assurance

Pre-qualify motors upon receipt and/or evaluate quality after costly repairs.

Trending

Easy to use software stores your motor data and immediately alerts you if there is an alarming condition. Forms part of a condition monitoring program on a regular interval.

Diagnostics/Troubleshooting

During a motor circuit analysis test, we analyze data, define problems and isolate the root cause of each potential motor failure. We believe there are essentially 6 fault areas that need to be investigated for each motor. Tests are conducted from the switch room under load conditions and will not interfere with operations or cause trips and delays. When this motor circuit analysis technique is used in conjunction with vibration and Infra-red analysis, virtually all potential problems are covered.
