Vibrations in buildings/Structures - Effects in Electrical systems.
(OP)
I have earlier posted about the failure of capacitors in a pumping installation vide thread Link. Recently we have a observed a pattern of loosening of bolts/nuts in several starter panels where the capacitors are mounted. Under these structures discharge lines passes through for a short line before draining the water into canal. We feel that loosening of bolts/nuts is due to the vibration of building/structures due to pumping. Does this mechanical vibration (building/structures) have any relation to the capacitor failures?

Not sure if this is what OP was inquiring about, but there it is, for whatever it's worth.

If yes, then more sophisticated measurements are need to determine if the vibration is excessive, the frequencies of the vibrations, and if perhaps the vibration is excessive because it is being amplified due to resonance.
