The mechanical and electrical components of the drive train are failure sources that can lead to severe faults and cost unplanned downtimes. That is why the customer wanted to know the state of their motors. Therefore, the customer needs a partner like Siemens to provide a suitable condition monitoring solution. For the customer it is also an important key for success to utilize their maintenance personnel and equipment in the most efficient way.

With Mobile Diagnostics using hand-held devices, dynamic (vibration) and static (hi-pot) tests are done periodically according to customer needs. 49 motors are analyzed if they have a higher priority on customer productivity. Vibration monitoring is the most reliable method to ensure early identification of mechanical faults - often months in advance. A static test analysis shows the conditions of windings. With this solution our customer receives regular and clearly structured status reports from their personal contracts. They can plan their own maintenance schedule according to our reports. The Mobile Diagnostics service includes 2 dynamic tests and 1 static test a year.
