#2: Essential rotating machine testing

Rotating electrical machines are critical for power generation and running critical industrial processes. However, machine reliability can be compromised over time due to operational stresses and aging. In this episode, Fabian Öttl, OMICRON’s rotating machines testing expert, identifies essential electrical tests that should be regularly performed to assess machine condition and detect potential failure-causing defects.

Important electrical tests used for assessing the condition of motors and generators

The reliable operation of rotating electrical machines, whether generators or motors, is essential for continuous power generation and critical industrial processes.

However, defects resulting from operational stresses and aging, can cause rotating machines to fail. Various electrical testing methods allow you to identify developing problems throughout a machine’s service life.

But which electrical tests are essential, and when should they be performed to assess machine condition?

With us to answer these questions and to offer some insight on this topic is Fabian Öttl, product manager and expert for rotating machines testing at OMICRON.
