This paper first examines the needs for the basic set of tools for machine condition monitoring applications, including a look at the key elements of detection, analysis, and correction. It then examines the requirements for tools in each area, and proposes a solution on how they can be combined in one palm-sized instrument and portable toolkit for maintenance personnel

This paper provides a case study of considering an economical evaluation comparing a traditional approach of completely demolishing old electrical MCCs equipment versus investigating and replacing only the malfunctioning components in the MCC. The example below illustrates how a thorough investigation of existing electrical equipment can entirely alter previous planning decisions and have a drastic impact on cost estimates. A case study detailing the revitalization of 276, thirty three year old Motor Control Center (MCC) buckets, improved safety and security for our employees and facility equipment, extended overall life of the motor control center (MCCs), enhanced skills of our employees, and saved more than one million dollars for the US Postal facility-at Jersey City, NJ

This paper is written on the basis of recommendations in IEEE Std 95-2002. It is common practice to use both AC and DC power supplies for the high potential testing of large electrical generator stator windings. A much higher voltage, well above the machine operating voltage; is almost always used. This paper reviews the procedures, results and test aspects of both the AC and DC testing of stator coils and the completed stator winding. The major issues addressed are the voltage levels used; where and when they are applied; the relationship between the AC and DC test voltage levels; what components of the winding are actually being tested; and are the presently used multiplication factors between DC and AC really being used correctly? A significant issue to address is that the stator coils and the stator winding layout, is designed to primarily get through the final AC or DC hi-pot test Should this present way of thinking still be followed in going forward in the future?

A ion migration testing for DC ceramic support insulators was designed and conducted in this paper. After the long-term ion migration testing, the change of Na+ distribution in the tested samples was analyzed, and the mechanical performance of the tested samples was verified. It is indicated from our results that the ion migration testing in our laboratory doesn't influence the mechanical performance for the ceramic support insulators

In the last few years, there has been a considerable amount of activity generated in the NEMA 6-MW Technical Committee due to a change in philosophy regarding the periodic conformance testing of magnet wire products. In the past, the periodic conformance tests have been designed around the special testing of a few standard AWG sizes, to define the unique properties of a particular magnet wire product type. These periodic conformance tests have been used to describe the uniqueness of the particular insulation system of the MW type, rather than to describe the expected performance of different wire sizes in these periodic conformance tests. The need to perform these periodic conformance tests on other wire sizes has created the demand for a new approach

Class-F 4.0 kV coils designed for medium voltage induction motors are aged under combined thermal and electrical stresses of 500 h at a constant temperature of 120degC and 200 h at a constant temperature of 150degC and stressed electrically at 60 Hz and with steep-front unipolar pulses of 40 ns rise time. The changes in the partial discharge activity and the dissipation factor as a function of time are reported. During ageing, the temperature profiles are recorded with an infrared camera as a means for determining the highest stressed regions. The experimental results show that pulse ageing is very severe when compared to 60 Hz ageing, despite using a lower pulse voltage, although the location where damage occurs on the groundwall insulation is different

Some products are reverse engineered RE as an origin in the design process while others are based on a new inception. In a globally competitive market it is important to reverse engineer electrical products and components for manufacture. Competitor's products are reverse engineered to generate a cost basis to keep a manufacturer's pricing in line with markets. The process of reverse engineering can also be used to regenerate obsolete parts or ones that are out of production and needed for service needs. The reverse engineered part or one designed completely in a solid modeling (SM) package parallels the future manufacture of the part and corresponding assembly. Animation and analysis are integrated into the SM and FEA modeling of the part

Electrical tree formed in XLPE insulation sliced from 220 kV rated cable was diagnosed by partial discharge and dielectrometry measurements and optical observation. The effects of aging by rate of rise in electrical stress and time are reported.

Siemens power generation uses flat conductive laminate to aid in the wedging of stator coils for specific turbine generator stator winding designs. The laminate material must provide critical electrical, mechanical and thermal properties to properly function. This paper describes testing and interpretation of material test results for conductive laminate materials used as stator slot filler. The stator coil designs are gas-cooled using either hydrogen or air depending on the generator design

Variable frequency drives generate high frequency switching electrical noise. The components of a typical variable frequency drive are commonly capacitively coupled to an earth ground. The power devices used today allow high frequency currents and common mode currents to circulate within earth ground. These circulating currents initiate the degradation process to insulation systems of motors, their bearings, and also interference to other systems (ie: sensors, PLC's, industrial computers etc.). This new wiring design and method meet safety ground code requirements while reducing significantly high frequency and common mode ground currents. In this paper we will discuss the key components and operation of such a system and its application
