en.Wedoany.com Reported - ABB has launched the LEAP (Life Expectancy Analysis Program) to assess the stator insulation health of medium-voltage motors and generators, helping industrial customers reduce unplanned downtime by up to 35% and extend equipment service life by up to 28%.

In industrial environments, approximately 60% of medium-voltage motor and generator failures stem from stator insulation system issues. However, many critical motors that have been in operation for eight, ten, or even more years have never undergone a life expectancy assessment. Diego Arias, Motion Service Expert at ABB Peru Business Unit, stated that the true condition of insulation is not visible from the outside, and when problems become apparent, it is often too late to plan maintenance.

The ABB Ability LEAP program analyzes the condition and expected life of stator winding insulation, considering thermal, electrical, mechanical, and environmental factors, achieving a reliability level of up to 95%. This program enables a shift from reactive to predictive maintenance, providing specific information to decide whether equipment should be repaired, maintained, or replaced. Industrial enterprises adopting this program can also optimize energy consumption and reduce indirect carbon dioxide emissions.

ABB experts recommend conducting a LEAP assessment for any medium-voltage motor or generator that has been in continuous operation for more than three years, regardless of whether it has experienced failures, using operating time as the criterion to determine intervention timing for critical equipment.
