Course Content

One of the most important factors to consider when repairing motors is why they failed. EASA's new seminar, "Root Cause Failure Analysis," focuses on common as well as unusual types of failures broken down by motor components.

The seminar is intended for anyone interested in understanding motor failures, and those who want to serve customers by addressing the cause of failure rather than the symptom. An extensive resource manual includes photographs of a wide range of failures, with the likely causes listed. It also provides a clear methodology for confirming the probable cause of each failure.
