MotorDoc Podcast 4 The US Department of Energy MEASUR Software for Reliability and Maintenance
Yep, more free stuff. In part 4 we will discuss how to accomplish some of the overall items that we were exploring with the EMPATH Electrical Signature Analyzer (in order to justify one) using the US Department of Energy's MEASUR software. This effectively provides the type of information we pursue easily. The podcast includes a walk-through of the motors section.
