  • December 2010
  • Number of views: 4525
  • Article rating: 4.0

Tom Bishop, P.E.
EASA Senior Technical Support Specialist 

Two of the most important expecta­tions informed end users (customers) have of service centers are consistent best practice repairs and root cause failure analysis (RCFA). Following best practices helps ensure reliable repairs and maintenance of motor efficiency; and RCFA identifies the cause to help prevent a recurrence of the failure. 

Service centers can meet these expectations by performing repairs in conformance with ANSI/EASA AR100 Recommended Practice for Repair of Rotating Electrical Apparatus; and by providing RCFA in accordance with a proven methodology such as that in the EASA Root Cause Failure Analysis seminar reference manual.
