Infrared Thermography Basic Level 1 Session 01

Please join expert Infrared instructor Wayne Ruddock for a Basic Level 1 course for Infrared Thermography delivered over 23 different 60 minute sessions.

Infrared Thermography is an important technology for proactive maintenance and condition monitoring in any reliability program. It is extremely useful in detecting early potential failures in electrical and mechanical systems so orderly planning and scheduling can be completed with lower operational disruption.

Working through the Basics of Electric Motor Testing

A 53 Minute Recorded Webinar

This recorded on-demand webinar discussion gets back to the basics of electric motor testing. Learn, relearn, or review, depending on your level of knowledge, the basic fundamentals of quality assurance, the value of trending test results, and how to perform diagnostics.

Understand the six fault zones: Power Quality, Power Circuit, Insulation, Rotor, Stator and Air Gap and how they will help you identify problems and isolate the root cause of each potential motor failure. Finally, consider how improved motor efficiency and reliability can impact your efforts to go green, reduce your energy cost, and affect your bottom line.

Register for this FREE online webinar to:

1) Learn the basic fundamentals of quality assurance, trending, and diagnostics.

2) Understand the basics of the six motor fault zones.

3) Develop a better understanding of how improved efficiency and reliability can reduce your energy costs.
