Motor Current Signature Analysis

in this course we will explain the typical motor faults and address state-of-the-art current signature techniques for diagnosing a variety of defects., Learn relationships between current and vibration monitoring to detect the root cause of problems. Describe fundamentals of variable frequency drives.
