Motor Circuit Analysis Applications
with the ALL-TEST IV PRO 2000™
Predictive Maintenance
Regular testing can identify developing faults before a failure occurs. All measurement data can
be trended for predictive maintenance condition monitoring. By making proactive repairs
and eliminating unscheduled down-time, plant productivity is greatly improved.
Application Story:
A drive failure on a critical 200 HP motor was traced to poor connections using MCA. MCA was performed on 10 similar machines. Five of the machines indicated poorly crimped connections at the motor terminals. These connections would have deteriorated to the point of failure within weeks. Pro-active repairs were performed, cost avoidance of this “find” was over $500,000.
Quality Assurance
New motors of any size can be defective. Spares “on the shelf” are often unknowns. A 2-minute test can insure that your motor will run once you install it!
- Test new and spare motors before installing (be sure they are good, plus you have a baseline for future comparison)
- Test motors before you put them on the shelf as spares
- Test failed motors before and after repairs (make sure you don’t have a $900 paint job!)
Application Story:
A power plant performed a routine test on a new 50 HP motor about to be installed as a back-up bearing coolant pump. A significant phase unbalance was detected, the motor was not installed.
Further evaluation revealed that motor was a new design, the unbalance was a manufacturing defect. Had the motor been installed as the backup and been called into service, it would have tripped and failed within minutes. Potential costs would have been in excess of $1 Million.
Troubleshooting
When you have a motor related problem, the ALL-TEST PRO® can quickly rule the motor “in” or “out” as the source of the problem. No false positives or negatives, with the ALL-TEST PRO® you know exactly what the problem is or isn’t!
Application story:
A 300 HP motor was drawing significantly unbalanced current. Motor Circuit Analysis was performed at the MCC indicating no problems with the motor, cables, or connections.
Examination of other components in the circuit identified a blown power factor correction capacitor (The ALL-TEST IV PRO 2000™ also tests capacitors). The capacitor was much easier and less expensive to replace than the motor. Without the ALL-TEST PRO®, this plant would have replaced the motor, only to find the problem was not solved.
How much money would this save in your plant?
The ALL-TEST IV PRO 2000™ finds the faults you can’t see with any other hand-held instrument.
- Turn-to-turn, coil-to-coil, and phase-to-phase faults
- Open phases
- Burned or contaminated windings
- Poor connections
- Broken/cracked rotor bars and rotor casting voids
- Rotor eccentricity
- Grounded windings
- Cable faults

Features
Easy To Use
An automatic test mode is used for most tests. On screen prompts walk you through the test. In just a few minutes, anyone can learn to use it!
On The Spot Diagnosis For Troubleshooting
ALL-TEST IV PRO 2000™ results are immediately displayed for field evaluation. Our quick reference guide helps you make the call on the spot. Answer the mechanical/electrical question immediately, rule the motor
“in” or “out”.
Data Collector With Companion Software For PdM
The ALL-TEST IV PRO 2000™ has enough memory to store 500 tests (more than a day’s work). Upload test results to your computer, our software provides expert diagnosis, trending, and a wide variety of printed or on screen reports.
Convenient–Test From The Motor Control Center
Most tests on installed motors are done from the MCC, you can test through over 1000 feet of cable. Even hard to reach motors (overhead cranes, submersible pumps, etc) can be tested quickly and easily. In many cases you do not even need to disconnect from the drive output terminals! No need to test at the motor terminals unless a fault is indicated.
Safe For Operators And Equipment
All tests are performed on de-energized circuits. Measurement technology is low voltage and current, and completely non-destructive. Regular and repeated testing will not affect the life of the windings.
Quickly Evaluates The Entire Motor Circuit
A single 2 minute test evaluates the windings, cabling, and connections. Additional tests let you evaluate the rotor, and capacitors, and cabling to pinpoint the fault.
Sensitive
Detects motor faults at their earliest stages. Even detects conditions such as deteriorating or contaminated insulation long before other technologies.
Light Weight And Hand Held
The instrument weighs under 2 lbs, is battery powered and hand-held. No need to take a cart when you test a motor. And it can test virtually any size motor.
Tests All Kinds Of Motors And Coil Based Devices
- All types of motors: induction, synchronous, DC, brushless DC, servo, wound rotor, even single phase motors.
- All Components: induction windings and rotors, DC
shunt and field windings, armatures, Field and rotor coils in synchronous motors. - Transformers: Single and 3-phase, pole and pad mounted.
Motor Circuit Analysis
Introduction to Motor Circuit Analysis
One of your motors has just stopped running, and your production has stopped. Is the problem mechanical or electrical? Is it the drive? Overload? Load? Connections? Capacitors? Finding the root cause could take hours.
And could you have seen it coming? Could you have identified the potential fault in advance, and corrected the issue through scheduled maintenance, and avoided the unplanned shut-down?
From the day you install a motor, it is in the process of failing. The only question is when. According to an EPRI study, almost half of all motor failures are electrical in nature (the rest are mechanical). The majority of electrical motor faults start as shorted turns within the windings. In addition, poor connections, winding contamination, and rotor issues all lead to motor failure.
Some facts about winding faults:
- They usually start in the end-turns of the windings where stress is greatest, and the insulation system is the weakest
- They start small, and escalate over time
- They sometimes progress to a ground fault
- They always end in motor failure
- You can’t detect them with a Megohm meter or DMM until the motor has totally failed
Motor Circuit Analysis (MCA)
MCA is a technology that lets you examine the electrical health of a motor through measuring multiple electrical properties of the windings. The ALL-TEST IV PRO 2000™ Motor Circuit Analyzer performs 5 measurements on each of the three winding phases:
- Three separate high accuracy bridges measure winding resistance, impedance, and inductance.
- A low voltage AC signal is applied, and the resulting phase angle is measured.
- A multiple frequency current response test (I/F) is performed.
- Insulation resistance to ground is measured at either 500 or 1000 V
In a healthy motor, all of these measurements are balanced. When one or more is out of balance, you have a clear indication of where the fault most likely is. For example if all measurements except resistance are balanced, a loose connection is indicated. Unbalance in the phase angle or I/F test indicates shorted turns within the windings. You can also isolate and identify rotor faults, and eccentricity in assembled motors without run testing under load!
Extensive research and field tests have shown that the guidelines for detecting fault conditions are the same on any size and type of device—we have successfully evaluated 40,000 HP synchronous machines, tool machine servos, induction motors of all sizes and voltages, and even pad and pole mounted distribution transformers. And you can rely on the results—there are virtually no “false” positives or negatives.
Most tests are done from the motor control center, through cable runs of 1000 feet or more. All tests are low voltage and totally non destructive, so there is no danger of damaging sensitive equipment. A test takes less than 5 minutes, and can show you turn, coil, and phase-to-phase faults, open phases, poor connections, contaminated or burned windings, grounded windings and connections—or a motor that is perfectly healthy.
There is no more powerful instrument for electrical motor evaluation!
