Unique Combination of Features

• Early and accurate alarms. Outputs are condition assessments rather than measurements.
• Continuous monitoring and maintenance scheduling. Monitors both the motor and its driven system.
• Industry standard current and voltage transformers can be used as sensors. These sensors are cheap, easily installed and familiar to all electrical maintenance personnel.
• The degree of fault is presented on a simple and intuitive sliding scale by the device itself.
• MCM data outputs are both repeatable and reliable.
• Comprehensive fault coverage; both electrical and mechanical faults can be detected using a single device. This feature of MCM is also unique in the condition monitoring world.
• There are no external or background effects that can interfere with the capability of MCM to monitor systems.
• An ideal solution for inaccessible motors. MCM can be used anywhere an electric motor driven system can be operated. Since the sensors and main unit are usually mounted in motor control panels, there is no restriction on a MCM unit even being in close proximity to the monitored system.
• MCM units are easily connected to an external acquisition system for continuous monitoring via industry standard network cabling. This together with it’s simple method of fault indication makes MCM an ideal device for use with Mimic and similar systems.
• Elimination of the need for expertise of trained and skilled engineers.
• Can be used to asses the effectiveness of servicing.
• Devices can be networked.
• MCM measures electrical signals and can provide continuous monitoring of these quantities. In particular, values for instantaneous active power, phase angle, harmonic distortion and other parameters typically obtained by devices know as Energy Analysers, are measured. MCM also has the intelligence and capability of being able to protect the motor system it is monitoring and to cut the system power if needed as an intelligent relay. MCM is thus more than just a condition monitoring system; it combines features found in several other diverse instruments.
