Proven lower total cost of ownership and increased safety for LEDs have been a driving force in the trend of LED luminaires replacing traditional light sources in process industries. As with any new technology, challenges exist in designing and maintaining an optimal system to withstand the intended application and environmental conditions. Common challenges and considerations include luminaire placement, the intensity/ dispersion/quality of light, thermal management, material selection and redundant safety and operating systems. The authors will examine best practices and common misconceptions in the selection and application of LED luminaires focusing on harsh and hazardous locations. The probability of success in maximizing reliability, safety & efficiency of LED technology in such applications is enhanced by utilizing proven design principles & methods. The selection methods and design principles will be explained using actual application examples and case studies.","PeriodicalId":413502,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 2014 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131318829","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}

Electric motors, switchgear and related equipment are sensitive to damage from flooding, and replacements often have long lead times. This paper offers practical methods for restoring electrical equipment, as well as guidance for the repair-replace decisions with an eye towards getting the plant back in operation as soon as possible. It also offers advice about expected life reduction for electrical equipment that is not properly handled after such an event. Because similar production facilities are regionally concentrated, multiple facilities impacted by the same disaster will be competing for limited repair and replacement resources. Having a proactive recovery plan before the storm can significantly reduce the time required to restore production. Understanding the long-term effects of water (especially saltwater) on electric motors and generators is vital to capital expense forecasting for the years following a major storm.","PeriodicalId":413502,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 2014 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128672553","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}

This paper updates the author's earlier paper on the subject of generator protection upgrade [1] and highlights areas of protection that continue not to be address by some generator owners as well as new protection areas not previously addressed. New generator protection changes are reflected in recent IEEE standards such as C37.102-2006 [2]. This paper discusses these changes as they apply to industrial generators as well as the risks of not addressing them. The paper addresses the risks in several functional areas where old generator electromechanical relay protection is inadequate. In addition, the paper discusses hybrid grounding of the generator stator windings, which substantially reduces stator ground fault damage avoiding lengthy generator outages to repair. This type of grounding is a relatively new concept in generator grounding introduced in a series of IAS Working Group papers publicized in 2002 [3]. This grounding scheme has been installed on a number of generators but must be coupled with proper relay as well as transient overvoltage protection. The paper also highlights the major new protection requirements for gas turbine starting and protection advances made possible by the use of digital technology which have foster new methods not possible with older technologies.","PeriodicalId":413502,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 2014 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127290270","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}

Unfortunately, so has a lot of the installed equipment! There have been some upgrades and improvements to machine design over the years - particularly in the areas of insulation and condition monitoring. However, the installed base has not necessarily kept pace - due in part to the reliability built into older machinery. Today's facilities are under deeper scrutiny as system efficiency, machine reliability, and equipment condition monitoring improvements are becoming the norm as the industry tries to position itself for the next century. In today's global economic climate, the number of potential sources for replacement equipment is large and diverse. The choices available to a mill's purchasing and technical maintenance departments are myriad and often confusing. In an effort to help sort through some of the potential pitfalls associated with replacing aging infrastructure with modern machines, this paper will review equipment in the medium voltage (2300-7000 Vac) range. Electrical and mechanical considerations for both the manufacturer and the end user will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":413502,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 2014 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference","volume":"2010 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127338560","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}

Yet, they have not had much success in industrial applications because of the limitation on system voltage (maximum 240 V) and the 6 mA maximum allowed leakage current. As a result, industrial personnel protection has been lagging its residential counterpart. UL realized this gap and defined new GFCI classes to specifically address personnel protection in industrial applications. The new UL 943C defines the requirements of special-purpose GFCIs that can be used on systems up to 600 V and allows for a leakage current of 20 mA. This paper describes the UL 943C requirements and the newly defined GFCI classes. The difference between equipment ground-fault protection devices (EGFPDs) and GFCIs are also addressed. Finally, the application of a Class C GFCI in a pulp and paper plant is described.","PeriodicalId":413502,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 2014 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131146862","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}
