2017-10-11 08:00 - 11:00 | Construction Advancement Foundation, 6050 Southport Road, Portage, IN, 46368, United States
Part of the Reliability Workshop Series

Part 1—Repairing Electric Motors for Reliability
Obtain a basic understanding of induction electric motors, from component parts and types to what information the motor nameplate actually provides. Learn about operating characteristics such as Torque, NEMA designs, Starting conditions, and the Operating parameters that impact motor life. Learn about common failure types and detailed failure investigations and, finally, the proven engineering design assessments that lead to solving motor problems and providing longer motor life.

Part 2—Repair vs. Replacement Decision Making
Motors are inherently reliable but over time they do need to be repaired or replaced. When motors fail, organizations must act quickly to get them running again. The decisions you make when a motor fails can significantly impact the future reliability and efficiency of your equipment. This presentation outlines a best practices approach for dealing with repair and replacement decisions, and will enable you to act decisively when a failure occurs with the confidence that your decisions will improve the performance of your motor inventory and provide maximum return for your organization.
