Introduction

Noise and vibration was investigated on a 7.5 horsepower, 1750 RPM, 575 Vac motor and gearbox using the ALL-TEST PRO™ OL (ATPOL) motor current signature analyzer. One set of data requiring less than one minute of data provided the information necessary. The number of rotor bars, stator slots, bearing information and gears was not available. The lack of information did not hinder the ATPOL in immediately identifying the faults.

Discussion Although lightly loaded, the ATPOL automatically identified casting voids (Figure 1), an electrical fault in the stator (Figure 2), gear problems and identified the number of rotor bars (48) and stator slots (36).

Figure 3 shows the automatic analysis display shown in the ATPOL software.

This is a paragraph.It is justify aligned. It gets really mad when people associate it with Justin Timberlake. Typically, justified is pretty straight laced. It likes everything to be in its place and not all cattywampus like the rest of the aligns. I am not saying that makes it better than the rest of the aligns, but it does tend to put off more of an elitist attitude.
