Vibration - Coast-Down Analysis

  • February 2026
  • Number of views: 187
  • Article rating: No rating
Webinar recording

Spectrum analysis is the primary tool for analyzing vibration problems. Yet, a lot of useful information can be acquired by tracking the vibration characteristics as power is disconnected from the machine.

Quick Checks for Resonance

  • February 2026
  • Number of views: 586
  • Article rating: No rating
Article

Simple diagnostic tests—such as bump tests and speed‑variation checks—can be used to identify resonance as the cause of high vibration in rotating machinery. By recognizing when vibration frequencies align with natural frequencies, technicians can diagnose resonance issues early and avoid unnecessary corrective actions.

Comprobaciones rápidas de resonancia

  • Article rating: 3.0
Article

Este artículo explica cómo pruebas diagnósticas simples —como las pruebas de impacto (bump tests) y las verificaciones mediante variación de velocidad— pueden utilizarse para identificar la resonancia como causa de alta vibración en maquinaria rotativa. Al reconocer cuándo las frecuencias de vibración coinciden con las frecuencias naturales, los técnicos pueden diagnosticar problemas de resonancia tempranamente y evitar acciones correctivas innecesarias.

Tests to Ensure Proper DC Machine Performance

Article

Many service centers are unable to perform full-load testing of large DC machines. The good news is that there are specific tests that can be performed on a DC motor to verify the integrity of windings, the correct relative polarity of armature to interpoles, and proper running performance. This article explains specific tests that can help ensure a motor operates properly when the motor is installed. 

Pruebas para asegurar el correcto funcionamiento de las máquinas de CC

Emplear velocidad variable durante las pruebas puede brindar mayor flexibilidad y ampliar las oportunidades para evaluar el rendimiento de las bombas.

Seeing the Invisible: Partial Discharge Imaging for Large Motors and Generators

  • July 2025
  • Number of views: 2366
  • Article rating: No rating
Article

For service professionals working with large electric motors and generators, machines with voltage ratings 5 kV and higher can be vulnerable to invisible threats of partial discharge (PD). Corona and PD activity have long been a challenge to detect before failure occurs. Traditionally, detecting these issues required indirect methods like radio interference voltage (RIV) testing, ultrasonic detection or offline insulation tests. But recent advances in partial discharge imaging—sometimes called corona cameras—are giving engineers and technicians a powerful new tool: the ability to see electrical discharge activity directly and in real time. 

Viendo lo Invisible: Imágenes de Descargas Parciales en Motores y Generadores Grandes

  • July 2025
  • Number of views: 1184
  • Article rating: 5.0
Article

Para los profesionales que trabajan con grandes motores y generadores eléctricos, las máquinas con tensiones nominales de 5 kV o superiores pueden ser vulnerables a amenazas invisibles de descargas parciales (DP). Detectar la actividad corona y las DP antes de que se produzca un fallo ha sido un desafío durante mucho tiempo. Tradicionalmente, detectar estos problemas requería métodos indirectos como pruebas de voltaje de radio interferencia (RIV), detección ultrasónica o pruebas de aislamiento a máquina parada. Sin embargo, los recientes avances en imágenes de descargas parciales, a veces llamadas cámaras corona, brindan a ingenieros y técnicos una nueva y poderosa herramienta: la capacidad de ver la actividad de descargas eléctricas directamente y en tiempo real.
