Electrical Bearing Protection for Large Motors
June 19, 2024 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Electric motors on variable frequency drives are at risk of electrical bearing damage. This webinar discusses special considerations for protecting large motors (over 500 hp/375kW) from bearing current.
This webinar will be presented by Andy Kressbach, North American Sales Manager for AEGIS® Shaft Grounding Rings, and Mike Pulley, VP, Sales Operations, of Bartlett Bearing Company.
This training is worth one Professional Development Hour. For licensed engineers, Electro Static Technology is a listed provider on the NCEES CPC Registry.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Shaft grounding best practices for large motors (over 500 hp/375 kW or 600V)
- The risk of VFD-sourced shaft voltages, bearing current, and electrical bearing damage
- Bearing frosting, fluting, & failure
- Detection of motor shaft voltages
