Electrical Bearing Protection in Oil and Gas Processing
Tuesday, Sep 30, 2025
9:00 AM EDT / 13:00 GMT
Oil and gas extraction and processing is powered by electric motors, often controlled by variable frequency drives. This webinar will examine the problem of, and solutions to, electrical bearing damage caused by these drives.
The contents of the webinar include:
- Variable speed/torque applications in the oil and gas industry.
- Bearing frosting, fluting, & failure.
- The risk of VFD-sourced shaft voltages, bearing current, and electrical bearing damage.
- Detection of motor shaft voltages.
- Shaft Grounding Best Practices for bearing protection of AC & DC motors.
