Rolling bearings in electric motors, generators or associated equipment are at risk from the passage of electric current, which can damage the surfaces of rolling elements and raceways in the bearing and degrade the grease rapidly. The risk of damage, so called electric erosion, increases greatly if a frequency converter controls the electrical machinery, which is becoming increasingly common. An additional risk for high frequency bearing currents occurs in the application due to the inherent stray capacitances within the electrical machinery.
