"Over the past few years, some incorrect information has been provided, resulting in standards and trade articles associated with electrical and motor current signature analysis being misleading. One of these concerns appears to be based on the assumption that load impacts ESA/MCSA decibel (dB) amplitude in a similar manner as vibration analysis." #motordocllc #motordocai #empower #empath #ecmse1 #ESA #MCSA #electricmachines https://lnkd.in/gcA-pTWn

We took the #EMPATH #ESA and #EMPOWER #MCSA system out for a run on a group of 350 HP vertical cooling tower motors this week. There's another team doing wind turbines a few miles up the road and another testing water pumps for the City of Chicago and a bunch of compressors. Yes, we are running and comparing - and it was really cool! We'll discuss the results this weekend in a podcast, an article that will show up on the new reliamag.com (#ReliableMagazine) soon, and finalizing the user manuals so that these things can ship when I get back from an #IEEE #Standards group meeting.

I'm enjoying Reliable Magazine as it is focused on educational articles versus vendor-based product articles. Enjoy!! #motordocllc #motordocai #electricmotors #energyefficiency #energy #emissions

Annnndddd.... time to start writing again. Some excellent articles by a list of industry experts (and they slipped me in somewhere). Check out the new Reliamag.com! I'm expected to post weekly or bi-weekly on technical motor stuff and field adventures, a bit of electrical reliability and, yeah, ESA and MCSA. Expect some updates on IEEE and international standards, stuff on AI/ML, and a few co-authored articles with co-adventurers. Enjoy! And please make sure to provide a little feedback (to the authors directly, as well) to make sure we're getting you materials that will assist in your success! #Reliability #Reliamag #motordocllc #electricalreliability https://lnkd.in/gU-9h7_V

Preparing to hit the field for testing using the #EMPATH #ESA and #EMPOWER #MCSA systems on VFD driven fans and pumps. We have another company field testing with comparative data on across-the-line machines. The video discusses the basic differences between the two systems: https://lnkd.in/gKBFCyzR EMPATH: Electric Motor Performance and Analysis Tool Hardware EMPOWER: Electric Motor Performance Optimization, Waveform Evaluation, and Recognition The EMPATH was evaluated by EPRI in 2020 and the report published in 2022 with it performing well enough that the other systems were compared to it. It was found to be well over 95% accurate without human interaction and virtually perfect accuracy with human interaction (automated analysis). We are estimating the EMPOWER to be well over 80% accurate without human interaction (we are field evaluating accuracy). We will be discusing the results of both studies this weekend on the second of two podcasts we will be presenting. Podcast 50 will be on digital transformation lessons learned (consulting/field work) and the second Podcast 51 will be the comparison. The EMPATH is a full Electrical Signature Analyzer while the EMPOWER is a Motor Current Signature Analyzer. The EMPOWER is a cost effective entry for companies and technicians who want to learn how ESA/MCSA will benefit them and we will include a discount for EMPOWER users who wish to upgrade to EMPATH at any time. Yes, we are also looking for global EMPOWER distributors and reps. Both the EMPATH and EMPOWER are built in the USA. Qualified distributors must be CBM distributors, service companies with hardware/instrument sales, and related. #MotorDocLLC is a Veteran Owned Small Business and deference will be for veteran and veteran supported companies. Exclusive territories are based upon sales thresholds.

First MotorDoc #EMPOWER #MCSA system checked out and being picked up for a customer testing project on Friday. Will have one-on-one training when the repair shop picks it up in the afternoon. More shipping this weekend. Will be run alongside a portable #EMPATH for feedback. #motordocllc #motordocai

Keep Motors Operating at Peak Efficiency - a seminar for Efficient Plant Magazine. I will be providing a free one-hour seminar on October 17, 2024 at 2pm Eastern Time. Motors are the lifeblood of just about any manufacturing operation. Maintain them properly and they’ll keep energy costs low and plant efficiency high. This webinar, presented by Howard Penrose, President of MotorDoc LLC, will analyze the various steps plant managers can take to establish a program that efficiently maintains motors so that they deliver maximum performance and do not cause unplanned shutdowns. #motordocllc #motordocai #efficientplant #electricmotors #reliability #maintenance #energy https://lnkd.in/gdt56QA9

A quick story and tour of the new MotorDoc EMPOWER motor current signature analyzer (EMPOWER - Electric Motor Performance Optimization Waveform Evaluation and Recognition). Extremely portable hardware that works with any laptop or pc at an extremely affordable price. First units ordered in October, 2024 ship on November 1, 2024. It all started with a bet that we could not design a powerful analytic tool using generative AI and Python... well, here it is. We do also discuss the lessons learned, which we will cover in detail in our next podcast. Note: yes, we are open to distributors in the USA and abroad. There are requirements that are mentioned in the podcast. #motordocllc #motordocai #ai #ml #ESA #MCSA #EMPOWER #ECMSE1 #EMPATH #motortesting

Come see us about #EMPATH #ESA and #EMPOWER #MCSA as well as electric machinery and electrical reliability. Continuous #IIoT, #datacollection #immediateanswers with a little #AI and #ML in the mix. #motordocai #motordocllc #ECMSE1
