Bearing failures are the most common cause of electric motor and generator failure. Maintenance professionals can optimize the life of these machines by following industry best practices for bearing ...

Electric motors fail more often than they should. Sometimes, it is not the motor’s fault. The real issue lies deep within—where current leaks through the bearings. That is where insulated bearings ...

A variable frequency drive (VFD) motor is an advanced electric motor controlled by a VFD that adjusts frequency and voltage ...

Nuclear power plants depend on electric motor-driven pumps to circulate coolant through a closed system of pipes to help dissipate excess heat. These machines, reactor coolant pumps (RCPs), must be ...

All major manufacturers of three-phase ac induction motors offer “inverter-duty” or “inverter-ready” models, but while these motors have inverter-rated insulation to protect the windings, the bearings ...
