motor assessment process motor assessment process
a solution to life assessment of large motors
omsaiempl@gmail.com anilscoob@gmail.com
The deterioration of large motors is
normal, and this process begins as soon
as motor is installed.
If deterioration is not checked, it can
cause electrical failures and malfunctions. cause electrical failures and malfunctions.
In addition a TEAM of stresses
further contributes to the deterioration
process.

The purpose of a good maintenance
program shall be
to discover the potential reasons of
deterioration
take remedial measures for correction
to avoid catastrophic failures.
The other important purpose of
maintenance program is to maximize
reliability and availability, improve
operational efficiency and productivity.

Failure Statistics Conclusion Failure Statistics Conclusion
Bearings fail frequently
Windings also share a significant failure rate
Very few winding failures are detected Very few winding failures are detected
in maintenance (8.3%) as against the
total failure of 33%in normal operation
This indicates poor insulation problems
