Electrical Motor Diagnostics: Impact of Electric Motor System Maintenance and Management
he application of motor systems maintenance and management programs have the potential impact of saving industry an initial $26.5 Billion in electrical energy costs while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 3,000 Mega-Tons per year. The individual impact on production availability is also significant, by reducing troubleshooting and evaluation time by over 50%, motor repair by over 30% and general motor-system related labor by up to 50%, following the application and sustainment of the program. In this article, we are going to cover three opportunities obtained through the application of the Electrical Motor Diagnostic component of an overall program.
