Motor & VFD Online testing
WHAT DO YOU GAIN?
– Identify the abnormalities in the operation of electric motors and the VFD (if any);
– Identify the causes related to the electrical parts affecting the condition of electric motors;
– Measure actual motor efficiency and identify influencing causes such as: power quality, stator failure, power circuit;
– Identify VFD’s failures in rectifiers, DC bus, inverters …
SUITABLE FOR:
– Eletric motors, VFDs with high criticality in factory
SERVICE DETAILS
The condition assessment of electric motors & VFDs during operating is a very important task in predictive maintenance (PdM) program of whole plant. The difficulties in data collection and analysis will disappear as diagnostic technologies is developed and experience accumulates over the years. With nearly 10 years of experience and analysis equipments (such as Fluke 438-II, MDA 550), RCMI is capable to provide online condition assessment services for electric motors and VFDs to help customers identifying potential problems in the operation of critical electric motors and drives.
