Motor Management System

What is the intended role of a motor management system to run the critical service pumps?

See the motor management system is to protect the motor and benefits with the following:
1. starts only when safe
2. runs within safe electrical and mechanical limits
3. trips when necessary — for the right reason
4. reports what happened and predicts what may fail next
5. works with the control and safety systems, not against them
6. keeps the process reliable — not just the motor alive

Now if you consider that you do not have a motor management system for a critical pump, then there can be these issues:
1. repeated pump seal failures because of unnoticed dry-run
2. burned stator due to stalled rotor not tripping in time
3. nuisance trips during power dips → process outages
4. standby pump unavailable when needed
5. no diagnostic trail → repeat failures with no learning

These are all preventable with motor management system.
