Motor Current Signature Analysis

This Motor Current Signature Analysis training course has been developed to not only educate electrical engineers on the operation, maintenance, and testing of electrical motors, but this training course is also designed to demonstrate and apply the most recent technology, practices, and procedures in-line with recognised industry practices. The training course aims to provide development of testing and maintenance programs to ensure the electrical engineer can demonstrate knowledge and skill to go towards overall demonstration of competency, and ongoing compliance with national standards and legislation.

This training course covers a variety of different methods and concepts for MCSA and verification methods by different manufacturers, which helps the training course candidate experience a realistic situation when applying these methods.

This training course will feature:

• Motor current signature analysis basics
• Faults that can be detected with MCSA
• Air-gap eccentricity fault detection
• Broken rotor bars fault detection
• Bearings damage fault detection
• Shorted turns in stator 
• Windings
• Load effects

By the end of this Motor Current Signature Analysis training course, participants will be able to:

• Apply the MCSA methods on different types of electrical motors
• Assign and detect various faults, such as alignments, bearing corrosion, rotors bars.
• Assign and detect various faults, such as Air-Gap eccentricity, stator shorted-turns
• Assign and detect faults detection techniques, such as, fast Fourier transform, instantaneous power FFT
• Understand and apply the predictive maintenance technologies according to the concepts and analysis of motor current signature analysis

This Motor Current Signature Analysis training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Electrical Engineers – inexperienced with electrical motors
• Electrical Engineers – experienced with electrical motors and wishing to refresh knowledge
• Electrical Technicians who are supervised by experienced Electrical Engineers
• Electrical Engineers and Technicians in the field of maintenance, operation, and testing

A variety of technical lectures, practical demonstrations, and practical exercises will be used to deliver the training course to candidates. Case studies and examples of good and bad practice will also be demonstrated through practical demonstration and case study DVD. At the end of the Motor Current Signature Analysis training course, a practical and written assessment will also be completed by all candidates.

The Motor Current Signature Analysis training course has many benefits for organisations including, reducing the dependency on subcontractors, reducing the time spent on the procedure of requesting the service from subcontractors, boosting the productivity and performance of Electrical Engineers, providing quality efficient work for yard clients and finally, improving electrical team motivation and flexibility.

This Motor Current Signature Analysis training course will be of personal benefit to delegates by providing them to:

• Learn new practices for electrical motors inspection and testing
• Refresh their knowledge if already experienced with electrical motors testing and inspection
• Progress onto more advanced training course, such as MCSA systems
• Apply current up-to-date technical requirements into their individual work role
• Develop skills (both theoretical understanding and practice application) to their own work role
