MCSA & ESA

Next-level motor diagnostics powered by MCSA and ESA

The addition of Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) and Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA) to KCF’s comprehensive machine health platform combines MCSA’s and ESA’s robust motor-electrical diagnostic capabilities with the high-fidelity continuous monitoring, ease of installation, and focus on root cause eradication that are central to KCF’s solutions. Pairing this technology with vibration monitoring results in a comprehensive asset health solution crafted for your most critical electric motors.

Additional Operating Data Uses Unlocked by MCSA/ESA in KCF’s Machine Health Platform:

Stator shorts
Rotor bar failures

When should you use MCSA/ESA?

1. Costs of downtime are high
When failure costs a significant sum due to lost production.

2. Failure prevention is essential
When motor replacement cost is significant, or failure results in collateral damage such as product needing to be discarded, or adjacent equipment being damaged.

3. Regulatory & fines risk reduction
When catastrophic failure results in fines levied against the customer.

4. Energy consumption
When energy costs matter and a customer needs to reduce its carbon footprint.

Our MCSA/ESA solution unlocks:

24/7 monitoring + -

Provides continuous online monitoring with 24/7 access to critical data. Effectively covering all blind spots that exist between readings in periodic route-based monitoring.

Triggering + -

Improved Safety + -

Root Cause Analysis + -

The inclusion of potential transformers facilitates power supply monitoring. This enables the identification of chronic power supply issues, eliminating the cause of motor faults and suboptimal performance.

The IoT HUB

Transmits full-spectrum data to KCF’s machine health platform, SMARTdiagnostics.

Analog Adapters

Connects each of the transducer types to the IoT HUB.

Current Transducers (CTs)

Identifies motor faults.

Motor Current Triggering*

Enables synchronized sampling on motor startup, enabling the detection of inrush current.

Tachometer*

Provides precise reading of motor (rotor) turning speed—important for MCSA/ESA Analytics Model.

Voltage Transducers (VTs)*

Enables electrical signature analysis (ESA) to identify power supply issues.

*Optional Hardware
