How Trending Enhances Reliability of Electric Motors

Last month, we highlighted how rigorous quality assurance (QA) lays the foundation for extending an electric motor’s design life. This week, we focus on the second cornerstone of reliability: trending.

Trending is indispensable, especially when a catastrophic failure occurs without any prior data for comparison. In practice, the first assessment often follows the failure, yet post‑failure tests may not reveal an obvious fault. Instead, they uncover a gradual trend that signals a deviation from baseline—alerting analysts before a full failure ensues.

Invest adequate time and resources to gather data at intervals that reflect the asset’s criticality, ensuring early detection and timely intervention.
