RCM-based motor management

The utilization of reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) techniques on electric motors allows for the proper selection of technologies for effective selection of condition-based monitoring (CBM) processes and technologies. The RCM approach assists the manufacturer or supplier in maintenance recommendations and the reliability specialist in selecting the optimum approach in performing the right maintenance on the right equipment at the right time for the right reasons. This paper is an introduction to the selection of electrical motor diagnostic technologies for rotating machinery that can be applied in any environment
