ALL-TEST PRO® Motor Testing Learning Lab
Come join us in the ALL-TEST PRO® Motor System Diagnostics Learning Lab at IMC 2011.
Besides offering formal workshops as described below, our Learning Lab is set up and our technical people are available to answer your questions and concerns about implementing a Motor Diagnostics testing program at your facility.
Whether you are just starting to evaluate the benefits of electrical motor system testing or are looking to upgrade your existing program, the Lab environment facilitates an improved learning experience through the use of interactive tools.
Bring in questions regarding your failure modes, how to test specific motor types, how to integrate with your existing testing technologies, etc. and our technical team will offer some solutions to you.
For those that are ready for a demonstration, the instruments and software are set up so you can experience a hands-on demonstration for an improved learning experience.
If you are an experienced user, bring in your hardware, software and analysis questions so our team of motor testing experts can provide an answer.
Also, don’t miss out on attending the offered courses listed below.
Courses
De-energized (Off-Line) Motor Testing 101: The Basics of AC three phase induction motor construction as it pertains to Motor Circuit Analysis (MCA) testing is presented
William Kruger, Technical Training Manager, Don Haapapuro, CMRP, Technical Support Manager, and Gloria Urizar, Technical Support Manager (Latin America), ALL-TEST Pro, LLC
Monday, December 5 – 8:00AM to 4:00PM
This course presents the basic three phase AC motor construction and the theory of operation. Handheld test equipment will be used to show how (MCA) is used to fully evaluate the motors’ winding condition, without further stressing or potentially damaging the winding insulation system. Hands on testing methods are presented using the proven measurement techniques that fully define motor health while in a de-energized state.
Energized Motor Testing and Early Detection Capabilities of Electrical Signature Analysis
William Kruger, Technical Training Manager, Don Haapapuro CMRP, Technical Support Manager, and Gloria Urizar, Technical Support Manager (Latin America), ALL-TEST Pro, LLC
Tuesday, December 6 – 9:00AM to 12:00PM
This course presents the theory of operation of AC induction motors and how Electrical Signature Analysis is used to identify indications of developing and existing motor faults as well as most mechanical issues in the motor system, while determining the efficiency and the quality of the power being provided to the motor system. Actual online motor test data will be evaluated to identify both electrical and mechanical faults within the motor system using previously collected data. The material presented will detail problems found in belted applications, early rolling element bearing faults, as well as bladed (pump/fan) and gear faults.
Electrical Signature Analysis: How does it compare to Machinery Vibration Analysis and where does it fit in your plant’s Reliability Program?
William Kruger, Technical Training Manager, ALL-TEST Pro, LLC
Session times:
Wednesday, December 7 Learning Zone 1 (9:45AM) ALL-TEST Pro Learning Lab
Thursday, December 8 Learning Zone 8 (10:30AM) ALL-TEST Pro Learning Lab
It is well known that rotating machinery exhibit specific characteristics when faults cause the geometric centerline of the shaft to periodically move. For more than 70 years, Machinery Vibration Analysis (MVA) has been used to identify and determine the severity of these faults and is an integral part of many successful plant reliability programs. Recent experience and research has proven that many of these same faults can be identified using Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA). ESA also evaluates and identifies faults with power coming into the plant, the power supplied to the motor, as well as electrical and mechanical faults within the motor system.
Hands-On Workshop for On-Line Motor System Testing using Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA)
Don Haapapuro CMRP, Technical Support Manager and Gloria Urizar, Technical Support Manager (Latin America), ALL-TEST Pro, LLC
Session times:
Wednesday, December 7 Learning Zone 5 (3:30PM) ALL-TEST Pro Learning Lab
Thursday, December 8 Learning Zone 7 (9:30AM) ALL-TEST Pro Learning Lab
On-line testing using ESA is rapidly gaining acceptance in industry especially with its unique ability to identify faults within the entire motor system. This includes evaluation of incoming power, the motor, and the driven load; whether belted, geared, or bladed. This Hands-On demonstration session will include a short ESA technology overview; will demonstrate the data collection process and finally how a typical analysis is performed including the final report.
