Detection of inter-coil short circuits in coils of salient pole synchronous generator field winding on the basis of analysis of magnetic field in the machine
Abstract This paper deals with detection of inter-coil short circuits in coils of the salient poles synchronous generator excitement winding on the basis of the analysis of the magnetic field in the machine. Applying FEM to the generator model, magnetic field wave forms in the machine, on the points of interests, under both, faultless and faulty conditions were calculated. When results were ...

The future is condition monitoring
It’s been a big month here at Hansford Sensors. We kicked off November by celebrating our 10thanniversary, during which time we were playfully predicting what our company may look like in another decade. While our thoughts on this are strictly hypothetical at this stage, thanks to the release of a new report we now have a better idea of the state of the condition monitoring market. ...

The Importance of Lubricant and Fluidanalysis in Predictive Maintenance
Immediate Benefit of In-service Oil Analysis Lubricants are the life blood of oil wetted machinery. As an important element of predictive maintenance technologies, in-service oil analysis can provide trace information about machine wear condition, lubricant contamination as well as lubricant condition (Figure 1). Reliability engineers and maintenance professionals can make maintenance decisions ...
