Electric Motors are used throughout industry to convert electrical power to mechanical motion. Most every production process depends on this ball of wire and iron that spins using magnetic repulsion to turn a shaft which productes the force and speed to create something else.
Considering the cost of these energy converters called motors and their production value, there is room to spend some money to monitor and maintain the motor to ensure that it stays in good condition.
There are several modes of failure for an electric motor. Information on this will be coming.
How do you protect a motor?
1. modeling the thermal condition of the motor using current as the linier determining factor. or Motor Overloads
