Dublin, Ohio – October 13, 2026 -- AssetWatch, Inc. has launched AssetWatch Electrical Monitoring, a continuous motor current monitoring solution that requires no capital expenditure and targets faults in AC motor-driven assets that vibration sensors can miss.

Sensor tracks RMS current across all three motor phases

The solution continuously monitors RMS current on all three phases of AC motors. It flags overload conditions, power transmission problems such as slipping belts or failing couplings, and current unbalance that shortens motor life.

AssetWatch says electrical and load-related issues can develop with little or no early vibration signature. Periodic spot checks see a motor only during a technician's visit, while continuous monitoring catches problems as they develop rather than at the next scheduled check.
