Reliability Centered Maintenance or RCM offers a strategic framework to create an effective maintenance program. RCM is a process used to determine what must be done to ensure that any physical asset continues to do what its users want it to do in its present operating context.
Total run time: 14 hours
Volume 1 explains in drawings and photos the theory of how AC and DC motors work, how the most common motors found in commercial and industrial facilities are constructed, how they are characterized by their nameplate parameters and what points of vulnerability, failure modes and causes are most prevalent.
Volume 2 contains descriptions, explanations of and case studies illustrating 12 diagnostic tests performed during motor manufacturing and repair, including entirely new and extremely valuable test method involving use of polarization index curves called Polarization Index Profile Analysis for determining the condition of insulation systems in all sizes and types of motors in service as well as during restoration short of total rewind.
Volume 3 describes seven technologies for motor electrical predictive condition monitoring, almost all of which have been developed and applied since about 1990. A chapter is devoted to using up to 15 predictive technologies to help refine condition assessments, since no single technology can detect all failure modes in motors.
Volume 4 is aimed at those who are contemplating starting or already engaged in some aspect of motor management. It provides practical, proven ideas on how to design, support and defend programs, how to make them continually improve and how to justify and obtain resources needed to start and expand the effort and gaining full cooperation of all cognizant and/or relevant parties in aspects of motor management.
A former engineer stated that the author's first edition contained more alignment information than the sum total of all other works in the Library of Congress!
Two previous best-sellers (Small Electric Motors and Electric Motors) are combined and updated to provide a one-stop, reasonably-priced resource for electric motors.
