It is indicated that core testing is important because it leads to better customer service and can reduce a repair shop's warranty costs. Core permeability describes the relative ability of the motor core to support a strong magnetic field. Any reduction in core permeability means that more power will be required to produce the original magnetic field strength. This will cause the motor to draw higher no-load current, while negatively effecting both efficiency and power factor. The author seeks to create an awareness of the two most common core testing techniques and motivate the reader to learn more about more core testing.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":367238,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 20th Electrical Electronics Insulation Conference","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131396852","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}

The authors present a novel technique that overcomes all previous objections to DC testing and many of the disadvantages, such as size and weight, of the already identified alternatives. The power supply, called a pulsed resonant power supply, produces line frequency output with no DC content. There is no switching involved; hence the supply is readily adaptable for partial discharge and power factor measurements. With its many attributes, the pulsed resonant power supply is well suited for maintenance testing of large rotating machines.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":367238,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 20th Electrical Electronics Insulation Conference","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134180274","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}

They establish a nationwide industry-specific system for emission of hazardous air pollutants. They phase out production of various solvents which have long been a mainstay of the electrical and electronics industries.

These test methods may be of value in establishing incoming quality control specifications, thus assuring that the epoxy resin manufacturer is supplying a product which is in compliance with the requirements specified by the motor manufacturer. Some of these tests may be used in motor production to ensure the epoxy is obtaining proper cure, that powder which meets minimum edge coverage requirements is being applied, or that the substrate being coated is free from contamination.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":367238,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 20th Electrical Electronics Insulation Conference","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115303702","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}

In the 1800s the development of electrical apparatus made necessary the use of a variety of insulating materials to meet increasingly demanding needs. Up to about 1925 only naturally occurring products such as asphalt, rubber, mica, and cotton thread or fabric were generally used. When a plethora of synthetic insulating materials became available, both their use and the means for evaluating them became complex. Attention is given to examples of failures, with reference to cryogenics. sodium conductors, URD polyethylene cable, outdoor plastic insulators, and generator stator insulation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":367238,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 20th Electrical Electronics Insulation Conference","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115425272","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}

Resulting data are continuously processed for alarm conditions, analyzed for anomalous technology, and archived for future trend assessment. This technology is now being extended to two and four-pole turbine-driven generators in which the environment is far more severe than in salient-pole hydro machines.

Many current materials and processes may well have mandated changes. This is not limited to insulating materials, but will include even the most basic processes such as soldering, painting, parts punching, and cleaning. The list of affected manufacturing processes and materials is very extensive, and essentially no organization is too small to not be affected. Another area of major concern is that of reevaluating all current manufacturing processes. Mandated phase-out of ozone-depleting chemicals and reduction in wastes will provide exceptional challenges in the next decade.
