Wind Powertrain with EMPATH
Kevin Alewine of Shermco and I presented at the American Wind Energy Association Operations and Maintenance Conference (AWEA O&M). The EMPATH data on just under 400 generators and powertrain resulted in 772 findings on a specific manufacturer’s generators. The general industry findings for these generators are: The findings from the EMPATH evaluations: The generator findings…
Evaluation of Stator and Rotor Interturn Stress with Electrical Signature Analysis in Variable Frequency Drive and Wind Generator Applications
Abstract— Electrical Signature Analysis is the application and analysis of Voltage and Current data collected on electrical machinery systems. The measurements are converted to amplitude modulated Fast Fourier Transforms that can be evaluated for power, machine and powertrain conditions. Electrical and mechanical conditions are determined through their effects on the airgap magnetic field. One of…
A Review of Reliability-Centered Maintenance
Note: A copy of the Nowlan and Heap is included at the end of this post. The purpose of RCM is to provice a process to develop the right maintenance at the right time for the right reasons. The origination of RCM was the December, 1978 document and report developed by United Airlines under the…
Part 1 RCM of Equipment Using Gym Equipment Examples
Seeing as how I’ve mentioned in posts and newsletters that we are using RCM (Classical – NAVSEA) in the development of our maintenance program at the 2XL Powerlifting and MotorDoc LLC offices, it provides an opportunity to outline the process using a relatively simple example. In this first part, we will discuss the functions and…
Motion Amplification of a Bench Press
RDI asked, so we delivered. Last year Jeff Hay asked if I could do a motion amplification of a bench press – well, we had a lot going on up to moving into a new location. Good news! Great lighting and very little interference with the amplification… so, here it is!
Reliability and Maintenance of a Fitness Facility
We often ask ourselves about the attention we would like to have from company executives and get frustrated when reliability, maintenance and physical asset management is not at the forefront. Yet, many of us go to the gym – how often do you consider the reliability and maintenance of the ‘production equipment’ that you use.…
