Case studies of 15 turn insulation failures in mains-fed MV motors that occurred in Korea between 2011–2015 in the pulp and paper, power generation, and petrochemical industries are presented in this paper. The turn insulation failures are analyzed based on the insulation system design, motor operating conditions, fault location and pattern of the motor failures. Stator insulation inspection and test records including the insulation resistance (IR), polarization index (PI), leakage current, dissipation factor, and partial discharge (PD) tests for the failed motors are also shown. An insight into how stator winding turn insulation failures can be prevented is provided based on the investigation of the failures.","PeriodicalId":111440,"journal":{"name":"2017 Annual Pulp, Paper And Forest Industries Technical Conference (PPFIC)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126302703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To ensure that the arc flash study that one is performing does not underestimate the magnitudes of the short circuit currents present within the power system, and to allow for limitations in the procedure by which one develops the model, typically visual inspection, one must carefully estimate the lengths of conductors.

To reduce unplanned outage and losses condition monitoring (CM) techniques can be implemented to determine asset health and help target maintenance where it is most required. The challenges faced by the paper industry to implement condition based maintenance (CBM) on their medium voltage (MV) and high voltage (HV) networks and solutions for on-line partial discharge (OLPD) monitoring are due to the range and number of assets present and geographical spread coupled with problems of retrofitting the technology on pre-existing plants. The implementation of OLPD testing and/or monitoring can vary based on several factors: network topology, connected assets, switchboard type, owner budget and owner's desired local engineer involvement. This paper discusses different approaches to implementing an OLPD test program, ranging from simple handheld survey units to complete network monitoring. This paper focuses on case studies of the deployment of OLPD testing and monitoring solutions at several paper sites within the U.S. The case studies will present diagnostic testing of unshielded MV cable at one paper mill up to full permanent OLPD monitoring systems at two others.","PeriodicalId":111440,"journal":{"name":"2017 Annual Pulp, Paper And Forest Industries Technical Conference (PPFIC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127536921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often times special applications and unique mechanical retrofits can be addressed with engineered nonstandard options.
