Yet another potential spoiler for electric motors: insufficient bearing load. When a motor runs without a load, risks
increase that the bearings will become damaged, because
they always require a minimum load to function well. The
damage will appear as smearing on the rolling elements
and raceways occurring over a relatively long period of time.
Recommended fix: Unless preloaded bearings are used,
always apply external loads to the bearings.
When electric motors are installed properly and tested
appropriately and their precision bearings are monitored
regularly, the risks of potential unplanned downtime can be
significantly reduced. Furthermore, when fixes can be made
according to schedule and before any catastrophic failures
can occur, the objectives of predictive maintenance will be
advanced with dividends all along the line.

Although it may sound obvious, the technician installing the logger must verify that he or she is installing the logger at the correct
disconnect or panel. Many locations have multiple disconnects
and panels, and it may not be clear which one is the target of the
load study. When in doubt, contact the person requesting the
study and verify the individual load or panel to be monitored.
