ABSTRACT:
A motor performance analyzer senses currents and voltages applied to the motor, converts the sensed signals to digital data signals, and stores the digital data signals. The analyzer includes a processor for evaluating the digital data and a display for alerting a user or technician to potential motor problems, or to developing problems, including winding faults and broken rotor bars. Advanced signal processing techniques are used to further evaluate stored data and to provide trending information.
