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 engineering and powerlifting. Those who know me understand that I deep dive into both. Although they seem diverse, there are a lot of things in common with powerlifting being a microcosm of safety, reliability and communication as humans and equipment are pushed to their limits. In a powerlifting meet there are three lifts with…
Howard W Penrose, Ph.D., CMRP MotorDoc LLC, www.motordoc.com The term MCA (Motor Circuit Analysis) is derived from a test method that provides information on the basic components of an alternate-current (AC) or direct-current (DC) electric motor. These basic components include: resistance, measured in Ohms; impedance, measured in Ohms; inductance, measured in Henries; the induction winding…
An evaluation of several insulation types at various degrees of vacuum using repetitive discharge inception and extinction voltage offline testing will be presented. Insulation systems were evaluated in atmosphere and compared to values to 1mmHg using a commercial partial discharge surge tester. The insulation systems evaluated include unvarnished windings, dip and bake epoxy, epoxy trickle…
