Portable motor testing device and associated methods of determining motor health using a plurality of speed ramps

A portable device, comprising:

• a handheld unit comprising a user interface and a microcontroller;
• a power supply configured to operatively couple to the handheld unit;
• and
• a replaceable cable configured to operatively couple between the microcontroller and a motor under test;
• wherein the portable device is configured to determine a health of the motor under test;
• and
• wherein the microcontroller is configured to at least:
• instruct the motor under test to perform a plurality of speed ramps over time;
• and
• monitor a plurality of failure conditions associated with the motor under test during the plurality of speed ramps over time.

A method, comprising:

• instructing, by a microcontroller comprised within a handheld unit, a motor under test to perform a plurality of speed ramps over time, wherein instructions are transmitted to the motor under test via a replaceable cable that is coupled between the handheld unit and the motor under test;
• monitoring a plurality of failure conditions associated with the motor under test during the plurality of speed ramps over time;
• and
• responsive to a first failure condition being met:
• instructing, by the microcontroller, stopping of the plurality of speed ramps;
• and
• causing, via a user interface of the handheld unit, presentation of information related to the first failure condition.
