ABSTRACT:
A method of evaluating degradations throughout a MOV (i.e. motor operated valve) by establishing specific interrelationships between a power related parameter from the MOV motor (being, for an AC motor, preferably the motor load; and being, for a DC motor, preferably motor torque or motor torque factor) and actuator torque; then utilizing the established interrelationships to further establish a given percent change in the power related parameter as a warning point; and, then, trending the power related parameter during valve-in-use operation of the valve system to evaluate the condition of the valve system.
