In a previous post I discussed electric motor testing, specifically static or offline testing. This week I would like to tackle the subject of dynamic or online testing of electric motors. As the name suggests, dynamic tests are performed while the electric motor is running i.e. when it…
read moreElectric motors are a key component for running machines in most industrial environments. Therefore it is important that they are properly monitored to avoid unwanted failures or shutdowns. Typically, there are two testing categories for electric motors: 1. Static or offline tests 2. Dynamic or…
