Flashover: Causes and cures for damage to brushholders, commutators

  • April 2013
  • Number of views: 29772
  • Article rating: 3.8

There are times when a DC motor or generator experiences a catastrophic failure and the customer wants to know why it happened. One type of failure that seems to stimulate lively conversation is when the failure involves dramatic damage to the brushholders and commutator. The term "flashover" describes the appearance of the failure; the very name conveys an accurate mental image of the failure. The questions that arise next are predictable: "What caused this?" and "What can be done to prevent a recurrence?" Or, if the motor was recently repaired: "What did you do to my motor to cause this?!" The purpose of this article is to help you answer those questions.

Aplicando las tolerancias de balanceo en rotores de diversas máquinas

  • August 2017
  • Number of views: 11931
  • Article rating: No rating

La especificación ISO para balancear rotores rígidos (ISO 1940-1) fue innovadora cuando fue introducida hace varias décadas. Esta norma estableció los Grados de Calidad de Balanceo basada en la velocidad teórica que el centro de masa de un rotor se encontraría en espacio libre, girando a la velocidad de funcionamiento normal del rotor. Esta es terminología técnica difícil de expresar, pero un entendimiento práctico de la naturaleza de las fuerzas de desbalanceo es importante para aplicar las tolerancias de balanceo en rotores de diversas máquinas. Esto también ayuda a entender el impacto de los cambios fundamentales en la reciente norma de reemplazo: 21940-11: 2016.

Power supply considerations when building a large growler

  • Article rating: 5.0

When considering building a large growler for testing armatures and rotors, the initial decision typically is to select a kVA rating. A primary reason for this is that the growler will need to be connected to a power supply of sufficient ampacity at the supply voltage. To help simplify a complex design process, four kVA ratings have been selected for this article.
