The main purpose of the application of specialized predictive techniques in electric

motors is to detect problems in electrical rotating machines in such a way that
production downtime due to unexpected outages are minimized. The other aspect
involved is the reduction of costs by energy savings by having the appropriate tool to
carry out acceptance tests after a costly repair and to be able to evaluate the
efficiency of an electric motor or generator. When detecting electrical and mechanical
problems in a rotating machine we can evaluate its condition and its operation
efficiency since, in the majority of cases, the damage leads to a greater consumption
of electrical energy and a decrease in reactive power, which is penalized by the
electricity distribution companies. Studies conducted by the Electrical Power
Research Institute (EPRI) in the United States in collaboration with General Electric
show that the highest percentage of failure rates in electric motors (41%) is caused
by electrical defects, even when a mechanical problem is the apparent cause.
