The following is an excerpt from William T. Thomson’s book:
Current Signature Analysis for Condition Monitoring of Cage Induction Motors: Industrial Application and Case Histories, First Edition
Author(s): William T. Thomson Ian Culbert
First published:17 December 2016
Consequently, this book is focused on providing a knowledge source for industrial engineers, who are responsible at various levels for the operation, maintenance, and condition monitoring of induction motors driving strategic mechanical plant.
This book should be of interest to motor manufacturers (OEMs) and electric motor repair shops, since certain end users are now equiring MCSA tests on brand new motors and after repairs to a SCIM to provide base-line current spectra for comparisons with future on-site MCSA measurements.
The OEMs and motor repair workshops should also find MCSA a useful test for their own internal QA/QC checks to estimate the perational condition of a cage winding and operational airgap eccentricity during a full-load heat run. However, this would not be part of a Factory Acceptance Test unless there was a formal contractual agreement to so do.
