Electrical and Current Signature Analysis of Unloaded and Loaded Electric Motors

In this presentation we will demonstrate both ESA and MCSA using two separate systems comparing various loads. This will also demonstrate how expert-ESA/MCSA combined with ML/AI can both immediately detect existing conditions as well as long-term anomaly detection. We will also use the opportunity to demonstrate changes in losses in bearings under different load conditions.

Real-Life Case Study: Sensorless Pump Performance Monitoring with Electrical Signature Analysis Technology

Join us for a deep dive into a real-world case study where we analyzed the performance of a dirty water pump using Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA)—without the need for external sensors like flow or pressure. In this session, you’ll see how our system detected low-efficiency operation, identified the pump’s operating point on the curve, and provided actionable efficiency improvement suggestions tailored to the customer’s application priorities.

The Scope and Application of Electrical Signature Analysis in Windpower

Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA) was initially developed at Oak Ridge National Labs (ORNL) in the 1980s as a method for evaluating bearings and gears in motor operated valves in the nuclear power industry. In 1992, the technology was licensed into general industry for applications in utilities and commercial applications...

Systems Energy and Emissions Analysis with Electrical Signature Analysis

There are several ways to view the impact of maintenance practices using ESA and electrical measurements, the first is the use of simple overall kilowatt readings from a power analyzer or relay monitoring system; the second is the before and after readings from an ESA device that identifies kilowatt data by defect.

Basics of Electrical Signature Analysis

Modern electrical signature analysis is no more challenging than vibration analysis. There are differences including using an electric motor or generator’s air gap as the transducer and evaluating an amplitude modulated signal.
