Motor Guard

Unscheduled equipment downtime can ruin your day and your production schedule. Moisture, contamination and heat combine to break down motor winding insulation, shorten motor life, and threaten your critical processes with catastrophic motor failure.

Motor Guard is an automatic insulation resistance tester that monitors and protects critical-duty motors. Originally offered in medium voltage designs for protecting expensive 2400V and 4160V motors, Motor Guard is now available in a cost effective 480 volt design. This low voltage design tests the integrity of motor winding insulation during idle cycles and triggers alarms to signal unsafe conditions. Maintenance personnel can then initiate early corrective action before motor failure occurs, avoiding costly downtime.

The U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard use Motor Guard to protect on-board motors and generators because in their critical operations motor failure is not an option. Most oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico use Motor Guard technology to protect their motors and generators for the same reason. Meg-Alert'" is proud to introduce this patented, cost effective, and proven technology to the industrial market place.
