There is disclosed a lubricant debris monitoring system for a gas turbine engine. The system includes a magnetic chip collector having electrodes defining a gap therebetween configured to be filled with lubricant. The magnetic chip collector generates a magnetic field for attracting the debris. The system further includes a processor configured to be connected to a power source and for performing an analysis of an signal between the electrodes. The processor stores occurrences of at least one characteristic of the signal exceeding a respective threshold. The system further has a communication system communicatively connected to the processor and configured for transmitting the analysis of the signal.
