1. A system for use with a fracturing operation comprising:

  • a plurality of electric-powered pumps fluidly connected to a well and powered by at least one electric motor, and configured to pump fluid into the well at high pressure so that the fluid passes from the well into the formation, and fractures the formation; and

    a variable frequency drive connected to the electric motor to control the speed of the motor, wherein the variable frequency drive frequently performs electric motor diagnostics to prevent damage to the at least one electric motor;

    a weight monitoring system in selective cooperation with a proppant container that selectively contains proppant used in fracturing;

    an information handling system in communication with the weight monitoring system; and

    a proppant dispensing system coupled with the proppant container and that is in communication with and selectively activated by the information handling system.
