The EMPATH system consists of a portable personal computer with our exclusive signal conditioning board, a 16-channel, 12-bit A/D card, and analysis software to store data and give a readout of the time and frequency signatures. The external Probe Interface Module contains isolating transformers for the voltage inputs. The signal conditioning board collects data on all three phases of voltage and current and provides three MCSA-filtered signals. Also, five general-purpose voltage channels give the customer the option of collecting other data simultaneously with MCSA data.
The EMPATH software provides spectral analysis of all inputs using a Fast Fourier Transform. The EMPATH system provides flexibility by allowing data to be collected periodically using a portable PC, or continuously with a permanent installation. detect the early stages of rotor bar failures in induction motors.
