AC machines electrical review with DC being only peripherally (vibration and most bearing issues are not cov ered).\nSubject matter covered:\n• What tests and how often?\n• Why do we want to test?\n• Management & maintenance styles\n• Environment an d enclosures\n• Size & variety in fleet as well as age of machines\n• Spares and Urgency of downtime\n• Failures – predicted / not\n• Visu al examination\, sounds\, smells (look at grounding brush)\n• Environmen t – temperature and humidity\n• Insulation Resistance\no How hard does it have to be? On-line / Off-line\no Voltage test levels and acceptance c riteria\no Temperature correction\n• Space heaters\n• DA and PI\n• S tepped DC\n• Low frequence AC\n• AC high pot\n• Surge test (Baker)\n • Impedance test (PDMA)\n• Winding resistance (stator & field)\n• Ca pacitance\n• Partial Discharge On-Line\n• Acceleration time & current\ n\nWednesday – Review of all the basics. This is exercise\, be ready to work\, there will be problems to solve!\nThe little bit of arithmetic that I think you should know -Memory\n• DC\no Ohm’s law\no Shunts\no Resis tor networks\n• Single phase\no Current\, Power real and imaginary Power factor\no Capacitance & Inductance\no Measuring CT\, PT\, shunt\n• Thre e phase\no Current\, Power real and imaginary Power factor\no Capacitance & Inductance (lead/lag)\no Induction motor readings (nominal PF)\no Synchr onous motor readings (general operation)\no CT & PT circuits used for meas urement\no Expected accuracy\nTesting components\nIt is interesting and in structive to manually test these components. Please bring your VOM. I will bring a handful of capacitors\, inductors\, resistors\, some SCR’s and diodes to test.\n• Resistor (how accurate is accurate? temperature)\n• Capacitor Impedance and capacitance\n• Inductor Impedance and inductanc e\n• Diode Voltage drop and reverse breakdown\n• SCR Switching & break down\n\nCo-sponsored by: Donald G.
