While ceramic magnets (hard ferrite) were the material of choice for the last three decades, neodymium iron boron magnets, bonded and sintered, have surpassed ceramic magnets as the benchmark material for new designs. Three factors are key to the preference for rare earth magnets: superior room temperature magnetic properties, declining material cost, and improved corrosion resistance. With a bewildering array of data available, designers occasionally associate the wrong magnetic property with an important design parameter, leading to disappointing performance. This is particularly true for thermal characteristics. We review the thermal properties of the common permanent magnet materials, with emphasis on neodymium iron boron, and relate the characteristics to material selection.","PeriodicalId":228071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings: Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Conference (Cat.

The solid state sensors gradually transform from a paramagnetic phase to a ferromagnetic phase as a function of applied strain. The irreversible and strain dependent formation of ferromagnetic material passively provides a magnetic signature useful in nondestructively assessing peak strain exposure. This peak strain signature can be used to identify and quantitatively estimate the degree or extent of accumulated composite material damage. Embedded sensors were continuous 254-/spl mu/m diameter wires positioned beneath the first or second surface ply along the longitudinal axes of tensile specimens. Single embedded wire sensor configurations were evaluated. This paper discusses the development and results obtained for a giant magneto-resistive (GMR) sensor detection system for measuring the ferromagnetic response of the sensor wires after strain-controlled tensile testing. Tensile testing was done at levels ranging from 0-4% total strain.","PeriodicalId":228071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings: Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Conference (Cat.

Commutation is the reversing of current direction. The purpose of this paper is to provide basic information on the different styles of commutators and the various internal locking designs. There are barrel shaped commutators and flat face commutators. Barrel commutators are cylinder shaped with the copper bars parallel to the bore. There are three basic styles of barrel commutators-steel and mica, mica molded, and molded shell. The flat face commutator looks like a pie with copper bars shaped in pie sections perpendicular to the bore. We review these basic designs to better understand their differences. The manufacturing process is also outlined, along with comparative cost factors. This information is useful in deciding which commutator style to select for a particular application.","PeriodicalId":228071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings: Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Conference (Cat.

The objective is to identify and evaluate condition changes of the stator winding insulation system and thus to improve condition-based and predictive maintenance strategies. This effectively reduces the overall total lifecycle cost of the unit. Examples are given where based on the assessment of on-line PD measurements on turbogenerators machines were shut down in order to avoid premature failure and to allow for corrective maintenance work to be performed.","PeriodicalId":228071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings: Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Conference (Cat.

Six stator bars were installed in three of the 14 slots section. Three levels of side packing were used: tight, intermediate and loose. The radial wedging was constant with ripple springs compressed at 80%. The six bars were initially characterized without any defect of their semi-conductive coating. The bars were then removed, and defects were made by abrasion in specific areas of the coating. The bars were fitted back into the same slots, with the same tightness as before and discharge tests were performed once again. The presence of slot discharges was observed visually with an ultra-violet camera, before radial wedges were installed. Some features of the phase resolved partial discharge (PRPD) features associated with slot discharge activity were identified. For instance, some asymmetry was observed with regard to the ratio of positive and negative discharges.","PeriodicalId":228071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings: Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Conference (Cat.
