What is Motor and Current Analysis?

Motor and Current Analysis is a Condition Monitoring technique that uses the current drawn by an electric motor to detect problems with the motor or the system it is connected to.

The current drawn by a Motor can be affected by a variety of factors, including the load on the motor, the speed and temperature of the motor and the condition of the motor’s bearing and windings.

It is a valuable tool for preventing costly repairs and downtime, improving the performance and efficiency of your Motors, and reducing energy consumption.

At BES Group, we can deliver expert Motor and Current Analysis services to help you diagnose and identify problems with electric motors in their early stages, preventing serious damage. We would be happy to discuss your concerns and specific requirements to tailor a plan that is right for you.

Key Benefits of Motor and Current Analysis

Identifying faults

If a motor fails, Motor and Current analysis can help identify the cause of the failure. This information can then be used to prevent future failures.

Optimised performance

Motor and Current Analysis can be used to optimise the performance of electric motors by adjusting the load on the motor, the speed of the motor or the cooling system.

Prevent downtime

By identifying problems early on, it is possible to take corrective action before they cause major damage, saving your business money and helping to avoid unnecessary downtime.

Frequently asked questions

What are the different types of Motor and Current Analysis?

There are two types of Motor and Current Analysis:

  • 1. Time Domain Analysis: This involves looking at the current waveform over time. This can help diagnose problems such as misalignment and bearing defects.
  • 2. Frequency Domain Analysis: This involves looking at the frequency spectrum of the current waveform. This can help diagnose problems with the motor winding and rotor imbalances.
