  • Abstract
    Reliable electric motors are essential to the operation of any plant, particularly large integrated paper mills. This paper describes the deterioration mechanisms at work on motors and test methods which can be used to assess the electrical condition of the motor windings. These tests, combined with a program of vibration monitoring, can provide a pro-active motor maintenance capability.
