Motor Circuit Analysis (MCA)™ is a deenergized low voltage test method to assess the health of the motor and associated cabling. This method can be initiated from the Motor Control Center (MCC) or directly at the motor. The advantage to testing from the MCC is that the entire electrical portion of the motor system, including the connections and cables between the test point and the motor, will be evaluated. 

MCA™ is a field proven motor testing method that quickly and accurately identifies faults previously difficult or impossible to detect using the older cumbersome (go – no go) techniques. The condition of the ground wall insulation system fails to identify the condition of the winding insulation system or any of the various rotor faults. MCA™ assess the health of the motor while the motor is deenergized. MCA can be used to determine the condition of the ground wall insulation, winding insulation as well as identify squirrel cage rotor faults in induction motors as well as cabling to the control.
