An apparatus for monitoring the status of the insulation on the wire in a winding in a device comprises a surrogate sample of insulating material having a thickness and properties selected to fail before the failure of the insulation on the wires in the winding, and a detector for detecting and indicating failure of the sample of insulating material. A method of monitoring the status of the insulation on the winding in a dynamoelectric device includes associating a surrogate sample of insulating material with the winding, monitoring the surrogate sample, and providing an alarm when the surrogate sample fails, which is predictive of the failure of the insulation on the winding wire.

A distributed diagnostic system in which a plurality of local monitoring devices collect local information concerning various machines and process that information, according to redefined diagnostic parameters, for diagnostic purposes. The local information collected by the plurality of local monitoring devices is provided to a global processor that globally processes the collected information to provide updated diagnostic parameters to the local monitoring devices.
