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.
Muchos centros de servicio no pueden realizar pruebas a plena carga en máquinas de corriente continua grandes, sin embargo, la buena noticia es que existen pruebas específicas que permiten verificar la integridad de los devanados, la polaridad relativa correcta entre la armadura y los interpolos, y el adecuado funcionamiento del motor. Este artículo explica pruebas específicas que pueden ayudar a garantizar que el motor funcione correctamente una vez instalado.
There is now a much-needed DC repair standard, created through the participation of EASA members and industry motor users.
Existe ahora una norma para las reparaciones de CC muy necesaria, creada gracias a la participación de miembros de EASA y usuarios de motores de la industria.
This video will walk you through how to check the relative polarity of DC machine interpoles and the armature and correct it if necessary using a simple interpole polarity test.
Unlike their AC counterparts, DC machines do not have rotating magnetic fields. Rather, there are fixed magnetic field axes for the field (direct axis) and armature (quadrature axis). Even though the armature is rotating, the magnetic field axis in the armature is fixed thanks to commutation, which allows the direction of current in an armature conductor to change as it passes from the region under one main field pole to the next.
A diferencia de sus homólogos de CA, las máquinas de CC no tienen campos magnéticos rotativos. Más bien, existen ejes de campo magnético fijos para el campo (eje directo) y la armadura (eje en cuadratura). Aunque la armadura esté girando, el eje del campo magnético de la armadura está fijo gracias a la conmutación, lo que permite que la dirección de la corriente en un conductor de la armadura cambie a medida que pasa debajo de un polo de campo principal al siguiente.
This video shows one step in collecting motor winding data: how to measure magnet wire.
Relevant standards including IEC 60085 and IEEE 1 have similar definitions for electrical insulating materials (EIM) and electrical insulation systems (EIS). As with any system, there is an interaction between the materials used, and the insulation system developers take great care to ensure that this interaction does not lead to undesirable outcomes.
Diferentes normas relevantes incluyendo la IEC 60085 y la IEEE 1 definen de forma similar los materiales electro aislantes (EIM) y los sistemas de aislamiento eléctrico (EIS). Como en cualquier sistema, existe una interacción entre los materiales usados y los diseñadores de los sistemas de aislamiento cuidan todos los detalles para evitar que esta interacción produzca resultados indeseados.
