Abstract
A monitoring system for motors, particularly electric motors, monitors the operating conditions of the motor using a plurality of sensors. Data relating to the operating conditions is compared to predetermined criteria to determine if a threshold has been exceeded, with a warning indication provided. The data is stored within a data storage device that may be removed from the monitoring system for access thereto.
