Artesis’s unique patented Model Based Fault Detection (MBFD) technology detects a wide range of faults by utilizing voltage & current of Three-Phase AC Electric Motors. This model-based approach works on the principle that the current drawn by an electric motor is affected by not only the applied voltage but also the behaviour of both the motor and the driven equipment. It identifies the distortions of the current waveform that have not been caused by distortions on the voltage waveform and therefore must have been caused by the behaviour of the motor and driven equipment system. The frequency of these distortions indicates the nature of the cause, and the magnitude of the distortions indicates the severity of the cause.

MBFD Technology does not indicate fluting issue on bearings directly, however it will detect an alert the issue as a bearing fault.
