SIRF ISW | Mike Davis - Virtual | Why Electric Motors Fail Aug 2025

Thank you to those that attended our recent Why Electric Motors Fail session we held with Mike Davis.

A Special Thank You

We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to Mike for presenting this informative session, as well as our attendees for their participation and engagement.

Event Recap
Electric motors are critical to industrial operations, but many fail prematurely due to preventable factors. During the session, we explored:

• The most common causes of electric motor failure and how they can be prevented.
• How operational and environmental stresses accelerate risks.
• Early warning signs of motor degradation.
• Practical strategies for extending motor life through better design selection, condition monitoring, and maintenance planning.

Mike highlighted that understanding the interaction between electric motor design, operations, and environment is key. A proactive approach through smarter monitoring and maintenance, can dramatically reduce downtime and costs.
