Electric motors are widely used in the industry and convert electrical power to mechanical power. Gears are connected with the motor shaft for frictionless power transmission. The power transmission efficiency is dropped when the gear teeth is damaged. It causes huge financial loss. There are various commercially available condition monitoring tools for the preventive maintenance and condition monitoring of the gearing systems. However, such tools and techniques are intrusive and costly. This paper presents a non-intrusive approach for timely detection of gear damages and can be integrated to existing condition monitoring systems to save time and cost. The proposed method is based on the analysis of power spectra of the frequency amplitude plots. The amplitude difference at gear harmonics gives indication of the presence of the fault. The proposed technique has been tested and validated at 1400 rpm and 1370 rpm of the motor which is operating at 75 % load and full load.
