•• T T eccent.eccent. -28.43 dB relative amplitude.-28.43 dB relative amplitude.
•• I I eccent.eccent. -34.9 dB relative amplitude.-34.9 dB relative amplitude.
T eccent. is at the understandable location.
T eccent. has a 4.5 times larger signal.

Conclusions:
• Demodulated Current method does not agree with vibration’s methods.
• Demodulated Torque reacts like vibration’s methods.
• This method is independent of Motor design.
• This method does not disagree with IEEE motor scientist’s research.
