The Federal regulation on Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals became effective in 1992 and has been with us now for almost five years. The objective of the regulation was to prevent the accidental release of any of the highly hazardous chemicals listed in the appendix of the regulation and to minimize the consequences of any such release. The regulation came about as the result of a marked increase in process incidents which occurred in manufacturing facilities in the United States and abroad that resulted in lives being lost and large economic expenses.

This paper describes the capabilities of a new facility that has been developed on the campus of Oregon State University by support from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The purpose of the Motor Systems Resource Facility (MSRF) is to promote the effective and efficient use of electric motors, drives and generators by providing consulting and analysis services backed by test and evaluation capabilities rated up to 300 hp (225 kW). The laboratory is designed to be both highly flexible in its capabilities and to be of maximum efficiency through the use of a bidirectional, unity power factor, active rectifier dynamometer power converter. Extracts from recent test projects are given including a comparison assessment of switched-reluctance and induction motor drives and an investigation of in-service efficiency measurement techniques.

A common method of transmitting power from an electric motor to the driven unit is through the use of belts. Advantages of belt drives include minimal maintenance and lubrication requirements, smoothing of sudden shock loads, and quietness. In general, belting systems are less expensive than most other power transmission systems, and offer the flexibility to vary the speed of the driven load without altering the driver speed by simply replacing the sheave(s). This paper discusses the variety of belting systems which are in common use today, their design considerations, proper belt tension, how these belt systems affect the motor and driven unit, and how to properly specify, apply and install belting systems to attain a long and satisfactory life.

This paper is an attempt to assemble data from various sources in order to give the reader information to evaluate the choice between liquid and dry type transformers. The choice is controlled by the application, location, cost or combination of any of the three. In order to limit the size of the paper, the kVA sizes and voltages have been limited to those most commonly used in industrial applications in the United States. Only ANSI and NEMA standards are used in this paper.

MotorMaster and MotorMaster+ software programs are distributed by the US Department of Energy's Motor Challenge program with development and support furnished by the Washington State University Cooperative Extension Energy Program in conjunction with the Bonneville Power Administration. Following a brief description of the Motor Challenge Program, this paper discusses MotorMaster (DOS format), which is used by many within pulp and paper and other industries to evaluate and select motors for energy efficiency and lowest life cycle cost. The last portions of this paper describe MotorMaster+, an enhanced version of MotorMaster, presented in the Windows format. The discussion covers MotorMaster+'s motor and motor-driven system energy management capabilities, the determination of motor load and efficiency from field testing measurements, energy savings determination and life cycle costing, use of utility rate information, and the types of motor selection scenarios addressed within the software.

This paper focuses specifically on integral horsepower AC induction motors used in the pulp and paper industry. An analysis of the various winding stresses is presented. The different requirements for the two insulation systems are discussed (MG1-Parts 30 and 31 for General Purpose and Definite Purpose Inverter Fed Motors), and test results show the need for higher dielectric insulations when the voltage levels of Part 30 are exceeded. The differences between existing, rebuilt and new motors is also explored. To assist the reader with additional research an extensive reference section is provided.

The purpose of this paper is to provide the reader with a quick reference of some of the more recently published technical papers dealing with the application of PWM inverter/motor systems. It should be pointed out that the "system" includes all components between the incoming 60 Hertz power supply and the driven equipment. The authors selected the more current publications. The technology associated with the newer PWM drives is changing so fast that many of the papers published 5 to 10 years ago may be effectively obsolete. These papers are categorized as follow: (1) motor/drive system application issues; (2) dv/dt, reflected wave, and lead length issues; and (3) motor issues.

Most organizations have been, or will soon be, affected by downsizing. The 1995 AMA Survey of 1003 organizations reported that one in four organizations have plans to eliminate jobs before the end of 1996 (the highest future index in the survey's 8-year history). This survey also compares the leading reasons given for downsizing. This paper presents recommendations for the management of the personnel who remain following organizational downsizing.

Electronically triggered fault current limiters have been used in medium and high voltage power distribution systems, and they are used to limit the available short-circuit current to a lower level, so that under-rated switchgear can be operated safely. However, to insure the safe and proper usage of these devices, there are a few major operating parameters which need to be considered: (1) selection of trigger level; (2) selection of di/dt; (3) the effect of the capacitor bank and stray capacitances; and (4) coordination between these devices and phase overcurrent relays at the faulted breaker. This paper examines these major operating parameters and evaluate the performance of the current limiters under various simulated fault conditions, and develop application guidelines for current limiters.

The reliability of the power supply can be significantly improved by modifying the electric motors' re-acceleration scheme. It will mitigate the affect of lengthy and simultaneous acceleration by staggering the high inrush current demand. Transient simulations were performed at an integrated petrochemical facility to verify the effectiveness of the existing re-acceleration scheme. The results indicated that the existing scheme will perform better with some changes as discussed further.
