Partial discharge phenomena and their causes in stator windings • PD theory, PD detection, sensor installation, and calibration procedures • Collection of off-line and on-line PD data • PD characteristics of stator-failure mechanisms • Case studies from continuous monitoring equipment and portable instruments.
This tutorial will give an overview of common failure mechanisms that affect industrial motors including VFD driven motors. The tutorial will discuss electrical and mechanical failure mechanisms and problems.
This tutorial will cover basic design of turbogenerator, major core, stator and rotor winding failure mechanisms. Principles and benefits of most frequently used on-line monitors, such as partial discharge, end winding vibration, rotor flux and shaft voltage and current, will be explained.
The course takes the theory of PD one step further to account for Phase Resolved PD (PRPD) patterns found in practice. How to identify the root cause of stator winding PD based on PRPD. The effect of machine operation on PD is also covered, as are the limitations of the PD interpretation.
