Electrical and load-related problems in AC motors can develop with little or no early vibration signature, so vibration sensors alone can leave gaps in a plant's picture of motor health. AssetWatch Electrical Monitoring is a continuous motor current monitoring system that watches AC motor-driven assets for these faults as they develop, rather than only during periodic spot checks.

The system continuously measures RMS current across all three phases of an AC motor to identify overload conditions, current unbalance that shortens motor life, and power transmission issues such as slipping belts or failing couplings. It also records runtime and duty cycle, giving reliability teams a behavioral baseline showing which assets run hardest and carry the most operational risk.

A wireless sensor is installed in the electrical panel rather than on the motor, allowing fast deployment and around-the-clock monitoring of hard-to-access equipment where vibration sensors are difficult to place. No capital expenditure is required.

Current data feeds into the same platform as vibration, temperature, and oil analysis data, so teams can view electrical and vibration readings side by side to determine whether a fault is electrical, mechanical, or process-related. AI and dedicated Condition Monitoring Engineers review the findings and work with the customer’s maintenance and reliability team.
