Evaluating Missing Wedges and Coil Movement with ESA IEEE Paper

Two significant issues in wind power asynchronous generators are magnetic wedge loss and coil movement resulting in winding faults.  Most of the time the failures occur unexpectedly or require borescope or visual inspections of the generator stators.  In this paper we will identify how both conditions can be detected during operation through Electrical Signature Analysis. …

UIC ERC Industrial Assessments Project 1999 Paper

Through proper application of simulation and modeling within industrial environments, greater impact for energy, waste and production improvements can occur. Modern simulation and modeling systems can help determine impacts of energy and waste reduction concepts on production and vice-versa. Through a 1999 Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs funded project, improvements of over 40%…

Before and After Motion Amplification Testing of Fan Application

Initial testing of an ID fan performed in 2018 with corrections made and retesting performed with EMPATH analysis, GTI Predictive vibration analysis and RDI motion amplification. While values were not extreme in the pre-test, the resulting vibration destroyed fan bearings and other poor conditions which prevented the operation of the fan system. Testing was performed…

Time to Failure Estimation with ESA Series Part 1 Electric Motor Theory

As we start into ESA theories and application, we will have to spend a little time on electric motor theory.  As we will start out with a basic system, AC motors are the simplest in terms of operation and components, we will start out with AC induction motors.  Using this base knowledge, we can later…

Insulation Death Due to Old Age

It does happen, although rarely, in typical industrial environments that an electric machine will die of old age.  The reason is that machines are often exposed to contamination issues, other environmental issues, power issues or a combination of events that degrade the insulation slowly or rapidly. There is also a rule of reliability that should…
