Advanced Condition based Diagnostics of High Voltage Generators and Motors

Abstract

Operators of electrical machines, motors and generators expect a high reliability and long life time which can only be achieved by a consistent quality assurance throughout the whole product life cycle e.g. research, development, design quality assurance testing and especially permanent operational performance check. But frequent maintenance cycles are expensive and cause production losses.Permanent online monitoring can minimize the maintenance periods but on the same hand have to be sufficient to avoid unforeseen shutdown.
