Abstract :
This article deals with the impact of different lubrication oils on electric motor energy consumption. Lubrication, and the analysis thereof is becoming a major field in the reliability world. All the samples of oil taken from the bearings machines, finds signs of existing or soon-to-come bearing damage and plan accordingly to reduce harmful downtime. Testing was conducted with the test motor on a motor test standard with seven ISO grade 68 lubrication oils over a two-day period.
