What did the studies really say—then and now?
BY HOWARD PENROSE, Ph.D., CMRP
One of the most frequently quoted studies related to electric motor reliability is a 1983 Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) project, entitled “Assessment of the Reliability of Motors in Utility Applications: IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion”. It has been used to support a variety of programs, equipment, and other electric motor strategies.
In fact, this author has cited other papers that...
