Electrical Faults in Turbomachinery: Why They Happen, How They Attack Journal Bearings, and How They Appear in Oil Analysis Most maintenance and reliability engineers are familiar with VFD-driven electric motors and the classic bearing current failure mode known as fluting in rolling bearings. But in turbomachinery, especially large compressors, steam turbines, gas turbines, turbo-generators, and motor-driven centrifugal machines, electricalContinueContinue reading “Electrical Faults in Turbomachinery – Why They Happen, How They Attack Journal Bearings, and How They Appear in Oil Analysis”

When Turbine Oil is Stored Under Sun
Storing turbine oil in direct sunlight leads to rapid degradation due to photo-oxidation, thermal acceleration, and moisture ingress. These factors compromise chemical stability and reliability, producing harmful byproducts like varnish precursors even before use. Proper storage practices are crucial to maintain oil integrity and extend its useful life.
