Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Condition monitoring of engineering plant has increased in importance as more and more engineering processes are automated and the manpower needed to operate and supervise plant is reduced. But electrical machinery has traditionally been thought of as reliable and requiring little attention, except at infrequent intervals when the plant is shut down for inspection. Rotating electrical machines, however, are at the core of most engineering processes and as machines are designed to tighter margins there is a growing need, for reliability's sake, to monitor their behaviour and performance on-line.
