Description of  Condition Monitoring of Rotating Electrical Machines, 3rd Edition

1785618652 pdf Condition monitoring of engineering plants has increased in importance as engineering processes have become increasingly automated. However, electrical machinery usually receives attention only at infrequent intervals when the plant or the electricity generator is shut down. The economics of industry have been changing, placing ever more emphasis on the importance of reliable operation of the plants. Electronics and software in instrumentation, computers, and digital signal processors have improved our ability to analyse machinery online. Condition monitoring is now being applied to a range of systems from fault-tolerant drives of a few hundred watts to machinery of a few hundred MW in major plants. This book covers a large range of machines and their condition monitoring. This 3rd edition builds on the 2nd edition through a major revision, update of chapters and a comprehensive list of references rotating electrical machines electrical machine construction, operation and failure modes reliability of machines and typical failure rates signal processing and instrumentation requirements on-line temperature monitoring on-line chemical monitoring on-line vibration monitoring on-line current, flux and power monitoring on-line partial discharge (PD) electrical monitoring on-line variable speed drive machine monitoring off-line monitoring condition-based maintenance and asset management application of artificial intelligence techniques to CM and safety, training and qualification.
