Online Training - Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA)

DESCRIPTION Motor Current Signature Analysis (MSA) is a diagnostic and technique that is used to analyze motors. As a preventative maintenance tool, MCSA can be used to perform a one-time test or periodic testing to track and trend motor performance. MCSA allows for remote, non-intrusive testing of the equipment being monitored. COURSE OUTLINE
