Fluke - Discover why you should add motor analysis to your routine maintenance
Electric motors transfer electrical energy to mechanical rotational forces that make up the muscle of the industrial world. It is important to measure and analyze these forces - mechanical power, torque, and speed - as well as the characteristics of the electrical network quality in order to evaluate the efficiency of rotating equipment. These measurements can not only help predict a failure and thus contribute to avoiding downtime, but also help determine quickly if additional diagnostics, such as vibration tests, shaft alignment analysis, or insulation tests are needed to corroborate the results obtained.
