There are many ways to measure PD during normal service of the motor or generator. Unfortunately most of the measurement methods mix stator PD with electrical interference signals from poor electrical connections, power tool operation, corona from transmission lines, etc. The result can be false indications of stator winding problems, reducing confidence in PD measurements. Another issue with on-line PD testing is interpretation: i.e. identifying which machines are in good condition and which need maintenance. In the past decade, a database of over 60,000 test results has been assembled. In hundreds of machines, the condition of the insulation determined by a visual inspection has been compared to the PD levels. The result is a table that provides an objective means of determining the stator insulation condition relative to other similar machines. Analysis of the results also shows that there are significant differences in PD activity between manufacturers. This paper gives a review of the methods that can reduce the risk of false indications, thus making the measurement less subjective","PeriodicalId":314450,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 2005 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference, 2005.","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122093933","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}

It explains thermal model time constants and other technical aspects causing the biasing of the thermal model algorithm. Other topics covered in this paper show that a detailed motor data sheet's information, and coordination between the protection engineer and the motor supplier leads to proper selection of motor thermal protection parameters. This paper presents a closer look on motor stall, acceleration and running thermal limit curves, explains the concept of thermal capacity and elaborates on how thermal capacity is evaluated in motor protection devices. This paper also talks about some additional methods, such as voltage dependant and slip dependant motor overload curves, which are employed to evaluate thermal capacity in nonstandard motor applications. This paper presents the concept of matching thermal time constants for motor cyclic loads cases. Besides this, the response of a thermal model algorithm in practical applications is demonstrated. The paper also describes the real case example showing how to apply and fine tune the thermal model in high-inertia load application.

In addition, more maintenance funds are directed to rotating apparatus, such as electrical generators, process drives, compressors and supporting motors. This is necessary due to the added wear associated with rotating machinery versus stationary electrical distribution equipment. The need for maintenance on electrical distribution equipment, such as air and liquid-filled power distribution transformers, low and medium voltage circuit breakers, starters and motor-control centers still exists, but is subject to greater cost constraints within all facilities. A new approach, termed performance based maintenance, can utilize past and ongoing equipment maintenance records to prioritize electrical distribution equipment with greater detail. This allows for applying maintenance dollars to the electrical distribution equipment with the greatest need for maintenance, and also redirecting limited funds to more effective predictive practices or capital improvements","PeriodicalId":314450,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 2005 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference, 2005.","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128654508","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}

Quantification of the arc flash hazard level and labeling procedures are a major portion of this effort. When calculating incident energy, the engineer must deal with two main issues in addition to the burn hazard-blast pressure effect on the human body and worker comfort or mobility with multilayer flash suits and associated flame resistant protective equipment. For work tasks where calculated incident energy levels are above 40 cal/cm2, it is desirable to reduce the exposure to the worker to reduce the burn injury. This can be achieved with either a change to the work method or by engineering design. This paper will discuss various methods that have been used to reduce the incident energy levels from above 40 cal/cm2 to levels below 40 cal/cm 2. Specific solutions implemented at a large chemical manufacturing facility are presented. The solutions include equipment upgrades, overcurrent protection modifications, changes to work methods, and worker training which increase the effectiveness of an already robust safety program. In addition, design changes that could be considered to keep incident energy below 40 cal/cm2 for expansions or additions to the power system are discussed","PeriodicalId":314450,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 2005 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference, 2005.","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121901995","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}
