Provides coverage of Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) for
cage induction motors This book is primarily for industrial
engineers. It has 13 chapters and contains a unique data base of 50
industrial case histories on the application of MCSA to diagnose
broken rotor bars or unacceptable levels of airgap eccentricity in
cage induction motors with ratings from 127 kW (170 H.P.) up to
10,160 kW (13,620 H.P.). There are also unsuccessful case
histories, which is another unique feature of the book. The case
studies also illustrate the effects of mechanical load dynamics
downstream of the motor on the interpretation of current
signatures. A number of cases are presented where abnormal
operation of the driven load was diagnosed. Chapter 13 presents a
critical appraisal of MCSA including successes, failures and
lessons learned via industrial case histories. * The case histories
are presented in a step by step format, with predictions and
outcomes supported by current spectra and photographic evidence to
confirm a correct or incorrect diagnosis * The case histories are
presented in detail so readers fully understand the diagnosis * The
authors have 108 years of combined experience in the installation,
maintenance, repair, design, manufacture, operation and condition
monitoring of SCIMs * There are 10 questions at the end of chapters
1 to 12 and answers can be obtained via the publisher Current
Signature Analysis for Condition Monitoring of Cage Induction

with EM Diagnostics Ltd, in Scotland. Prof. Thomson received a BSc
(Hons) in Electrical Engineering in 1973 and an MSc in 1977 from
the University of Strathclyde. He has published 72 papers on
condition monitoring of induction motors in a variety of
engineering journals such as IEEE Transactions (USA), IEE
Proceedings (UK), and also at numerous International IEEE and IEE
conferences. He is a senior member of the IEEE, a fellow of the IEE
(IET) in the UK and a Chartered Professional Engineer registered in

Power Qualitrol since April 2002 until his very untimely death on
8th September, 2015. At this company he provided consulting
services to customers, assisted in product development, trained
sales and field service staff and reviewed stator winding partial
discharge reports. He has co-authored two books on electrical
machine insulation design, evaluation, aging, testing and repair
and was principal author of a number of Electric Power Research
Institute reports on motor repair. Ian was a Registered
