At this threshold, the detector achieves a catch rate of 83% while maintaining a false-alarm rate of 8%. This threshold provides a practical balance between detecting genuine bearing faults and limiting unnecessary maintenance actions.\n\nFrom a cost perspective, this trade-off is worthwhile because missing a real bearing failure can lead to unexpected machine downtime, secondary equipment damage, and significantly higher repair costs. Accepting an 8% false-alarm rate means a small number of healthy bearings may be inspected unnecessarily, but it substantially reduces the risk of allowing a developing fault to remain in service. An 83% catch rate means the majority of faulty bearings are identified before they can progress to a serious failure.\n\nThe envelope-spectrum analysis identified the dominant defect frequency as BPFO (236.4 Hz). BPFO corresponds to the outer race (outer ring) of the bearing. Since the energy around the 236.4 Hz BPFO frequency was higher than the energy around the FTF, BSF, and BPFI frequencies, the evidence indicates that the outer ring is cracked or damaged.\n\nPlain-language summary for management: Choosing a threshold of 0.53 means we accept an 8% false-alarm rate because it lets us detect 83% of real bearing faults, and avoiding an unexpected machine failure is usually much less expensive than carrying out an occasional unnecessary inspection.","checklistCovered":["threshold","catch","falseAlarm","cost","fault","plain"],"passed":true,"attempt":1}
