Condition Monitoring is one of the maintenance methods which are used to assess the health and condition of ASSETS (Motor) by absorbing, checking, measuring and monitoring several parameters. This is also called Equipment Health Monitoring (EHM).
The main objective of this condition assessment is to generate a report which gives the information to achieve the following tasks
- To arrest the deterioration in performance
- To improve the availability, reliability, efficiency and safety of equipment.
- To regain lost capacity
- To extend useful life beyond design life and save investment on new equipment.
Condition Assessment Technique will be implemented as per following techniques listed below, which will assess the condition of Machine Insulation System in total. The various techniques are detailed as below.
