Case Study 3: Enhanced System Reliability

Variable Frequency Drive Deterioration

This is the third of five video case studies on Enhanced System Reliability by James Sylvester.

In this third case study from his book “Enhancing System Reliability Through Vibration Technology”, James Sylvester from JPS Reliability and an Reliability Training Institute Trainer, shows how analyzing vibration and thermal data can diagnose electrical drive faults.

The other case studies in this series can be viewed on our Blog.

James Sylvester is an RMS Trainer at the Reliability Training Institute.

RMS has been a key Mobius Training partner since 2004 and James’ addition to the team will help us in delivery of the growing number of course offerings available. James will support in the delivery of our Accredited training courses conforming with ISO 18436, that offer either MiBoc or BINDT certification options.

Being a time-served engineer and having 20 years’ experience in the implementation of Condition-Based Maintenance and Reliability-Based Maintenance programs, with practical experience and qualifications make him an ideal candidate for the role as an RMS Trainer.

Starting as an apprentice fitter turner (millwright) and after 10 years in the Mechanical Engineering and Maintenance he made the move into Condition Monitoring and Reliability Engineering. He has spent the last 20 years working with many of the Blue-Chip companies in the UK and Australia.

James is also the Author of “Enhanced System Reliability Through Vibration Technology” ISBN 978–1–5272–5386–5.
