Multiple re-strikes, can occur in vacuum circuit breakers and may cause transient overvoltages at the motor terminals. This condition damages motor stator windings. The paper describes multiple re-strikes in vacuum circuit breakers and how they are measured. It also discusses the experience at Avenor's Canadian pulp and paper mills in Gold River, British Columbia and Thunder Bay, Ontario and at the QUNO mill, Thorold, Ontario, Canada. Included are modifications recommended to protect the refiner motors from further damage.","PeriodicalId":360061,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 1998 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference (Cat.

So far most industrial plant reliability studies did not consider these effects on the system reliability. This paper presents a reliability study modeling which incorporates the system dynamic performance into system reliability evaluation. The system load reliability indices are derived by accumulating all system segment failure contributions. The modeling also includes equipment age and maintenance quality effects on equipment reliability indices using adjustment multiplier on component failure rates. The proposed modeling is demonstrated in an industrial distribution system.","PeriodicalId":360061,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 1998 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference (Cat.

In addition, it would be desirable to assess the condition of the motor at the same time the efficiency is being measured. This report provides an overview of various methods for estimating the operating efficiency of a motor without actually removing it from service and testing it on a dynamometer; the report also provides a concept for including a motor condition diagnostic into the same tool. The efficiency estimation and motor diagnostic tool needed for the cost-benefit analysis must be easy to use, without disrupting the operating process and must provide reasonable accuracy.","PeriodicalId":360061,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 1998 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference (Cat.

This paper addresses several aspects of heat tracing applications that deserve routine attention to improve the systems' overall performance and maintainability.","PeriodicalId":360061,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 1998 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference (Cat.

Submerged by these river waters were electrical centers, drives and control systems, power and steam distribution systems, paper machines, coaters, winders and other equipment.
