Motor Current Signature Analysis (Fault detection techniques using current signature analysis methods)

Provide an in-depth analysis of the techniques used to assess the electric motor conditions focusing on themotor current spectrum analysis, for the detection and identification of the most common defects affecting our rotating machines.

Overview

Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) has been considered the most popular fault detection and isolation technique applied to electrical motors since it can easily detect and isolate the common electrical machines faults namely when applied to induction motors. It has proven to be a highly valuable predictive maintenance tool.

These 2 half-days Online Virtual instructor-led Training (VILT) waste no time but focus directly on reviewing and examine typical electric motor faults / common defects. This will follow by an overview of different diagnostic test available to determine the condition of the electric motors and put into context the current signature analysis compared to the other techniques. Application of the technique on the different type of motors including the induction motors fed by VFD will also be discuss.

The second session will address state-of-the-art current signature techniques for diagnosing a variety of main defects. All type of detectable defects will be described (including the mechanical ones) such as - Rotor bar, Air gap Eccentricity, Rotor imbalance, Rotor misalignment, Fans, Motor foundation and Bearings. For each defect, the instructor will explain how the technique detect the issue and how to determine that from the test result.

MCSA test equipment/ instruments requirements are also discussed and a simple procedure for collecting and analysis the data is provided.

Designed For

This comprehensive virtual course will be valuable to professionals who work in the power industry (Generation), Renewable energy, oil & gas plants, refineries, chemical & petrochemical plants, mining, manufacturing, fertilizer & process industries that uses all types of (HV, MV and LV) electric motor. Further, the techniques (MCSA) can be extended to generator.
