What a Maturing Condition Monitoring Program Really Looks Like

What a Maturing Condition Monitoring Program Really Looks Like

Not all condition monitoring programs are created equal. Some evolve by expanding coverage, sharpening insight, and empowering technicians to drive reliability. Others plateau, stuck in route-based routines while teams are stretched thinner than ever.The difference comes down to one choice: do you allow your program to plateau, or do you build it to mature?

So What?

So What?

A week after the plant started up after an annual planned outage, an injection pump motor failed. The motor’s insulation had failed, shorting between phases.

Does High Voltage Testing Damage A Motor?

Motor Insulation Life Curve

Maintenance professionals tasked with maintaining electric motor reliability are often concerned with testing their critical motors at voltages well above nameplate levels. It can certainly feel counterintuitive to test a 460V motor to 2,000V or a 4,160V motor to 9,320V. After all, the motor is only rated for this lower voltage, right?
