Abstract: Electric motors are valuable, long-life industrial assets, whose lifespan is often measured in decades. A period of unplanned motor downtime in an industrial plant frequently incurs an expenditure of thousands of euros per hour. As a consequence, plant engineers often focus their decisions on reliability rather than on operating cost (energy bill). Unfortunately, the high price of energy and its growing trend mean that operating cost has an increasingly negative impact on production cost and company competitiveness.
