Why Surge Tests Are Critical For Successful Motor Pdm
High-voltage surge tests find weaknesses in motor insulation that other common motor tests simply can't find. Such weaknesses can eventually turn into shorts, ruin a motor in a matter of minutes, and cause expensive unplanned downtime depending upon the role of the motor. This webinar will discuss the importance of testing motor winding insulation with a surge test, and how it can improve motor maintenance decision making.
