Probe detects electric causes of bearing failure

Model 348SP shaft voltage/currents probe detects premature bearing failure due to excessive motor shaft currents. If the amount detected is excessive, corrective action is taken to avoid further bearing damage.

Model 348SP shaft voltage/currents probe detects premature bearing failure due to excessive motor shaft currents. If the amount detected is excessive, corrective action is taken to avoid further bearing damage. The probe checks critical equipment prone to shaft currents, such as dc motors, variable frequency ac motors, and steam turbines. CSI www.compsys.com
