Question from Predictive Maintenance Webinar 29th of April: What is the advantage of using ST sensors against controlling voltage and current of motor (any noise will increase power consumption and changes shape of voltage/current signal)?

The topic was discussed in the webinar in the IPF curve slide. The ultrasound and vibration come usually earlier as symptoms of a potential problem in the system. Increased power consumption is usually detectable later on in the problem stage. So it is up to your decision how early you like to detect your system problem to predict any potential failure.
