There are various applications for vertical motors, but most of them are mounted on vertical turbine pumps (VTPs). Vertical motors may be hollow shaft or solid shaft; the hollow shaft motors are used exclusively on VTPs and vibration is a common problem with these installations. The focus of this article will be on imbalance and 1x RPM vibration.
Los motores verticales son un elemento común en la mayoría de los centros de servicio adscritos a EASA y existen diversas aplicaciones para ellos, sin embargo la mayoría de ellos se montan en bombas de turbina vertical (VTP). La vibración es un problema común. Este artículo se centrará en el desbalanceo y la vibración a 1x RPM.
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.
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.
The 2024 NEMA MG 00001 standard introduces key updates, including new Design BE and CE motors with defined locked-rotor current limits, Class N insulation for high-temperature use, and revised stall time requirements. It adds Super Premium efficiency levels aligned with IEC IE4, adopts IEC voltage/frequency variation guidelines, and expands duty ratings for variable load/speed motors.
La norma NEMA MG 00001 2024 introduce actualizaciones clave, incluyendo nuevos motores de Diseño BE y CE con límites de corriente de rotor bloqueado definidos, aislamiento Clase N para uso a alta temperatura y requisitos revisados de tiempo de pérdida. Añade niveles de eficiencia Super Premium alineados con IEC IE4, adopta las directrices IEC sobre variación de voltaje/frecuencia y amplía las capacidades de servicio para motores de carga/velocidad variable.
The video provides a comprehensive guide on performing a single-phase rotor test on a three-phase squirrel cage motor to check for open rotor bars.
From the manufacturer’s perspective, a random-wound, 2300-volt motor represents a substantial reduction in manufacturing cost. For the service center, the challenge is to successfully rewind them while providing a reliable repair. Here are some techniques which will enhance your success rate.
Desde la perspectiva del fabricante, un motor de 2300 voltios con bobinado aleatorio representa una reducción sustancial en el costo de fabricación. Para el centro de servicio, el reto es rebobinarlos con éxito y ofrecer una reparación confiable. Aquí hay algunas técnicas que mejorarán su tasa de éxito.
This presentation stresses the importance of taking accurate winding data and explains and emphasizes the consequences of inaccurate data. One of the main benefits of this presentation is to improve ability to “get it right the first time” to avoid the added cost and time of another rewind to correct errors.
