Weak Links

Kunst Engineering helps locate the weak-links before catastrophic and costly failure

Loose / High-Resistance Connections

Lugs, terminations, bus joints
Cause heat buildup → arcing → outages or fires

Insulation Degradation

Heat, age, vibration, dirt
deteriorate the insulation of motors & transformers

Mechanical & Frictional Failure

Over/Under Lubrication
Alignment Bearing Wear

Liquid/Gas Flow Restrictions

Hydraulic/Air/Vacuum

STATS

EPRI reviews and documents current and new technologies used in predictive maintenance — spanning vibration analysis, infrared thermography, ultrasonics, and more — plus case studies showing how utilities apply these tools to make maintenance decisions from data rather than schedules
