Increase in KW'S resulting in motor failures
Increase in KW'S resulting in motor failures
(OP)
I am looking to see if anyone has seen any studies done on failure trends of motors as the KW's have increased due to drive train faults?

Not many people stress their motors to the point of failure on purpose, never mind trending it.
Motors are only good for what they are rated. If loaded more than their rating and the motor protection is working there will not be a motor failure in normal use.
On the other hand, you can fail a motor without overload in a few minutes by abuse such as starting and stopping it in quick successions without allowing it to cool down between the starts. Normal protection may or may not pick that up.

A hint as to your application would be helpful.
