Two Minute Tips
Condemning a Motor Using MCA™
Experience has shown that 20 to 40 percent of motor systems tested may have some sort of alarm condition. Just because a motor has exceeded the alarm limits in MCA Basic™ or MCA PRO™, it does not necessarily mean the motor will fail or should be stopped immediately. For over 30 years, the dedicated staff at ALL-TEST Pro have gathered data and resources to determine when a motor will most likely fail on the most common 3-phase squirrel cage motors.
