Traction motor failures can be expensive. The costs of unplanned downtime and motor repair or replacement can be extreme, even to the point of damaging relationships with customers, including loss of business. Motor failures can also precipitate failures in other parts of a locomotive, such as the phase module drives for AC traction motors. Megger’s Baker Instruments product family includes AC and DC traction motor test solutions that completely evaluate the condition of the motor to deliver the high reliability and reduced costs necessary to stay competitive.
