1 CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT HOUR (PDH) AVAILABLE UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF AN EXAM.

Motor management is a critical aspect of maintaining industrial plant operations, especially for entry-level plant engineers responsible for keeping systems running efficiently. This webcast will introduce troubleshooting and diagnostics for the most used motors in industrial settings. Attendees will learn how to identify and diagnose common motor issues, including overheating, vibration and electrical faults, all of which can lead to significant downtime if not addressed promptly.

Understand the essential diagnostic techniques, with examples of how to measure critical parameters using basic tools such as thermographic imaging and vibration sensors. Additionally, learn key industry standards that govern motor maintenance and diagnostics, helping attendees understand how to ensure compliance and reliability in their operations.

Emerging trends, such as the use of internet of things (IoT)-enabled motor monitoring systems, will be briefly discussed to provide an overview of the future direction of motor management without overwhelming the focus on fundamental troubleshooting skills. This webcast is designed to equip plant engineers with the knowledge needed to keep motors in top condition, minimize downtime and improve operational efficiency.

Learning objectives:

• Understand the basic principles of motor management and the common types of motors used in industrial plants.
• Learn how to identify and diagnose common motor issues such as overheating, vibration and electrical faults.
• Explore examples of diagnostic tools and measurement techniques, including thermography and vibration analysis.
• Gain knowledge of relevant industry standards, such as NFPA 70B: Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance and how they apply to motor troubleshooting.
