Motor Repair Case Study

Learn how Renown Electric’s motor repairs extended a rubber mill’s life and ensured higher safety and operational standards.

Industrial Motors: Reducing Motor Bearing Current

CoolBLUE cores can reduce motor bearing currents by over 50% — here’s why that’s important for your industrial motor’s drive.

Elevator Motors: Reducing Motor Bearing Current

We wanted to find a solution to harmful motor bearing currents for elevator motors. Here’s a look at our tests and their results.

Using CoolBLUE Absorbers to Solve RFID Issues

Renown Electric was recently approached by a dairy farm experiencing issues with their new RFID system. See how we helped solve their problem.

Why Does My Motor Pass a Megger Test and Still Not Work?

Electric motors consist of multiple individual moving parts that work together to create rotary or linear motion. Because motors are so complex — and made up of so many different components — pinpointing the cause of issues can be challenging. To identify what’s causing the problem, operators may need to test each individual part — […]

The Basics of Motor Testing

To measure the health of an electric motor, several key factors must be considered, including performance, energy use, operating costs, equipment durability, and overall system reliability. These are all integral components of motor health, which depends on regular monitoring and diagnostic testing. When evaluating the health of a motor, the following aspects should be carefully […]

Combatting Shaft Voltage & Bearing Current in Electric Motors

Variable frequency drives (VFDs) have changed the way we use electric motors and electric motor-driven equipment. With the ability to match demand loads and increase operating efficiency and output, these versatile tools allow for reduced electricity use as well as reduced costs. However, electrical noise — such as the shaft voltages and bearing currents that […]
