This paper will review the upgrade of CMPC Paper Machine #19 at Maule, Chile. The upgrade involved retrofitting the existing control system to remove the obsolete master controllers, updating and standardizing the drive system from different AC drive manufacturers to a single one, and adding a new machine section to improve product quality. The project was designed and executed in four phases that lasted a total of three years. The first phase of the project replaced the original four master controllers with new state-of-the-art controllers, which were compatible with the communication protocols of the existing drive system. The subsequent three phases of the project replaced the existing drives, all from a mix of different manufacturers, with a new modern drive system. In total, 142 drives were installed, commissioned, and tuned during the course of this upgrade. A challenge was presented by continuing to operate with the unique combination of existing drives, from different manufacturers, and new drives during the phases of the project. The staged design of the project helped reduce the outage time impact. This Paper Machine upgrade project was completed ahead of schedule and has exceeded the expectation of a successful upgrade.

The demand for improved efficiency and the desire for increased power density have resulted in a more widespread application of permanent magnet motors. Once restricted to use on certain specialized applications, permanent magnet machines are now being applied on a large variety of applications including those that are low-speed/high-torque direct-drive, process pumps, cooling towers, etc. Topics discussed include various types of permanent magnet motors, common rotor configurations, and serviceability.

Lockout/tagout (LOTO) unquestionably saves lives in forest products manufacturing and processing segments, but it can also be a drain on productivity. Additionally, some types of diagnostic and setup work require active power sources, which can lead to workers bypassing LOTO procedures. LOTO alternative protective measures (APM) that are compliant with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Minor Servicing Exception (MSE), present an opportunity to enhance productivity and help reduce the incentive for workers attempting to bypass critical safety procedures. This paper will explore the use of LOTO APMs, how they can improve productivity, their safety and financial benefits, and the consideration of appropriate locations for their use.

There seems to be a misunderstanding in industry of who is required to take electrical safety training, as well as what would constitute a Qualified Worker, an Unqualified Worker, and a Competent Worker. This paper will identify the training requirements pertaining to the skills and knowledge that must be considered for a worker to be qualified. Also addressed are the training requirements for unqualified or non-electrical personnel who may be exposed to electrical hazards. Properly trained and qualified workers are required for performing maintenance on electrical equipment. Proper maintenance is required to help ensure electrical systems and equipment reliability, as well as the safety of employees working on, near, or interacting with the electrical systems and equipment. This paper will provide an insight into the training requirements and how this can reduce the risk of employee injuries and fatalities. The principles for performing a Needs Assessment, a Job/Task Analysis, and Job Hazard Analysis are also addressed as they relate to the information gathering needed for the development of an effective training program.

Electrical preventive maintenance and testing are some of the most important functions to be performed in order to maintain the reliability and integrity of electrical distribution systems, as well as for the protection of equipment and personnel. Preventive maintenance of electrical equipment, specifically with regard to power circuit breakers, is often overlooked or is performed infrequently or inadequately. This paper provides insights into the typical maintenance requirements for power circuit breakers, both low- and medium-voltage. Also addressed is the potential impact on the arc flash incident energy when maintenance is not performed. An unintentional time delay in the operation of a circuit breaker due to a sticky operating mechanism can cause the incident energy of an arc flash to rise, sometimes dramatically.

Many industrial facilities will have on site generation and it is important that the facility design its protection and control system to protect the interconnection between the facility and the utility supply. This paper is a tutorial on the protection necessary to protect the utility from issues within the industrial facility and to protect the facility from issues on the utility supply. Topics to be discussed will include: directional power elements, directional overcurrent elements, load shed and contingency schemes, and utility reclosing schemes.
