PRACTICAL DIAGNOSTICS OF SQUIRREL CAGE INDUCTION MACHINES

Abstract: The paper present diagnostic reports produced by diagnosing some machines in the industry. The machines

investigated drive coal mills, air blasters, water-feed pumps and smoke exhausters. Diagnoses of the state of their cages are

accounted for by scheduling reparations of these machines. Assessment of cage states was based on measurements of the

magnitude of the (1±2s)f

0

current components, where: s – slip, f

0

– frequency of the supply system. The measurements of

these components were performed during stationary operations by current loads. Additionally, the (1-2s)f

0

component was

measured during starting up as well. The measurements relied on non-invasive, digital registration of the secondary currents

in the on-site current transformers. All the on-site circuits were left intact, as only the Dietz mini clamps surrounded the leads

with secondary currents. The currents were registered in two phases, though only one signal was used for diagnostics. Two of

the machines were found to show up cage asymmetry characteristic for at least one broken bar. Discrepancy between the

magnitude of the (1-2s)f

0

component during starting up and steady state allowed to conclude that in the case of a double-cage

machine the damage must have taken place in the starting cage.

CLASSIFICATION OF ELECTRICAL MACHINES WINDINGS’ INSULATION DEGREE OF

WEAR

Abstract: Classification of electrical machines windings’ insulation degree of wear has been presented on the basis of

twenty electrical machines operating in rolling mill. Four of these are synchronous machines, eight are d.c. generators and

remaining eight are rolling mill driving motors. The insulation diagnostic tests include:

-

measurement of insulation resistance (for steady-state conditions) vs. supply voltage R

=f(U),

-

measurement of leakage current versus time i

p

=f(t), after a unit step voltage of rated value was applied ,

-

measurement of voltage recovery curve U

od

=f(t); this is measured after the system had been earlier charged with rated

voltage, and then short-circuited for t

z

seconds.

Basing on the measurements the criteria indices of insulation system are developed; these are set out in Table 1. These indices

help to assess the insulation’s degree of wear according to mark system: from 5 (very good insulation) downto 1 (worn

insulation) – Table 2. Figures 2-4 show the characteristic curves: R

OPERATING DIAGNOSTICS OF HIGH POWER ELECTRIC DRIVES

– DIAGNOSING OF ROLLING BEARINGS

Abstract: In many cases the most unreliable elements of driving systems are rolling bearings. Their insufficient durability

makes them one of the sore points taken into consideration when analysing the reliability of the whole equipment. The

variety of the phenomena accompanying the course of wear and tear of the rolling bears makes it possible to use many

diagnostic methods. The paper presents some examples of a diagnostic study of the state of rolling bearings in electric drives

with the use of the frequency analysis of vibrations. Purposefulness of introducing vibroacoustic diagnostics has been

demonstrated, selected operational states of unfitness of electric drives have been presented. The study carried out on the

basis of frequency analysis of vibrations made it possible to observe the progress of damage over time and to identify the kind

of the damage. Pictures of the damaged rolling elements have been presented. They reflect the purposefulness of the decisions

taken. On the basis of the obtained study results the assessment of currently applied methods of operational diagnostics of

rolling bearings was made.

Abstract. Break-down rate of high voltage AC squirrel cage motors is not very high. But any failure of large AC motor

involves for its user costs and losses uncomparable higher than the simple cost of repair or even replacing of the motor. In the

paper the main reasons of large AC motors failures are discussed, most of them occur, or at least just begin, at starting period

of the motor (when DOL starting method applied). Possible ways of minimizing break-downs number are presented,

importance of proper diagnostic tests underlined. Two break-down examples: 1000 kW, 1500 RPM and 515 kW, 3000 RPM,

6000 V motor are discussed. After failure both motors were redesigned and renewed at their repair process. After redesigning

ELECTRIC SHOCK SAFETY IN INDUSTRIAL MOTOR DRIVE INSTALLATION WITH

Abstract:

Voltage frequency converter for driving systems is complicated power electronic device, in aspect of assurance

proper protections against electric shock. Increases it large difficulties at designing and building of it power supply system.

In this paper author passed analysis of supply power system with drive VFC in rules of electric shock protection, according

to norm IEC 60364. One proposed realization of additional shock protection in typical installation, is only by use quick

disconnection of VFC from power supply by fuses and proper drive equipments connection to the earth. Proper appointment

of impedance loop of short-circuit on VFC power supply connectors has basic meaning for selection value of input quick

fuses. Using connections to earth of VFC protective connector PE with little impedance for high frequency waves, indeed

limits disturbances about radio frequencies emitted to environment. In normal work of these drive systems accrues high

frequencies currents which dependents from VFC configuration and conditions of installation work. These currents make

impossible usage high sensitive RCD switches. In supplement safety protection only, as protection against fire, author

allows usage of RCD switches type A with earth currents from 100 - 500mA. This paper can have controversial discuss

because positions different specialists are here strongly not uniform.

ENERGY-SAVING VARIABLE SPEED DRIVES

Abstract: Energy-saving electrical drive (Fig.1) is the type of drive working at its minimum required rotational speed (1).

The algorithm of energy-saving drive operation can be applied to (Fig.2):

- d.c. motor with electromagnetic excitation,

- d.c. motor with permanent magnet excitation (Fig.4),

- cage induction motor,

- brushless motor with electronic commutator.

The paper gives the comparison of these four motor types.

Zeszyty Problemowe – Maszyny Elektryczne Nr 68/2004

The comparison criterion is the motor’s volume, i.e. all the motors have identical outer dimensions as shown in Fig.3. If it is
assumed that during steady-state operation the active power loss in all motors is kept constant

∆P 4900 W, then each

motor’s ratings (power and efficiency) are different (Table 1). The brushless motor is characterized by highest rated power

(77 kW) and efficiency (94%). If rated power of brushless motor is decreased down to 53 kW, i.e. to the induction motor

rated power value, then power loss in brushless motor drops down to 2300 W, and the efficiency rises to 95,8%.

FREQUENCY STEERING OF INDIRECT DRIVE FOR BELT CONVEYORS

Abstract:

Indirect drive in long belt conveyors can lessen the stresses in the belt and in the load bearing structure of the

conveyor because of the distribution of the belt

′s pulling force into several components of force. The indirect drives without

pouring point are interesting solutions both from the technical, and the economical points of view. Most frequently used

solution is an auxiliary conveyor which drives the runners of the main conveyor. The problem in manufacturing this sort of

drives is both the variability of thermal compression between the belt and runners in belt load function, and the necessity to
adjust the driving velocity of the auxiliary drive

′s motor to the current parameters of the main belt′s load. All these

requirements cause the driving motors of the auxiliary drive to be powered from the frequency converter Typical methods of

Zeszyty Problemowe – Maszyny Elektryczne Nr 68/2004

frequency changer control do not always provide satisfactory results in the difficult working conditions of the auxiliary

drives, the use of positioning system of induction motors was suggested. Conducted laboratory tests of the drives showed the

advisability of usage of machine tool motor for the realization of indirect drive for belt conveyors.

DISCUSSION ON UNDESIRABLE PHENOMENA OCCURED

IN INDUCTION MOTORS

Abstract: During operation of squirrel-cage motors, undesirable phenomena can be observed. They influence on the life of

motors and have an unfavourable influence on the environment. Duration, place and intensity of occurrence of these

phenomena are diverse. Complete elimination of reasons of the side-effects is not possible. The aim of detailed recognition of

undesirable phenomena in induction motors is an explanation of reason of their formation and to show the actions leading to

their minimization.

Trial of systematization of undesirable phenomena occurring in induction motors was undertaken in the article. During

systematization, place of occurrence and reasons of phenomena were taken into account. The results demonstrated during

steady state and starting of motor were shown. Taking into account the place of occurrence, the zone of gap of magnetic

circuit, the part of squirrel-cage winding outside the sheet pack, sheet pack of rotor core and bearings should be considered.

The effect of flow of large starting current is emission of considerable amount of energy in the squirrel cage winding of the

rotor. This energy causes thermal effects. During steady operation, the undesirable effects in the form of decreased efficiency,

increased noises and vibrations, deformed mechanical characteristic, flow of crosswise currents in the pack of rotor, may be

expected in the process of conversion of electric energy.

connected using 8 or 10 poles. Theoretical evaluation as well as tests results conclude that a complete disconnecting of two

poles has a positive influence on motor’s work at lower speed and negative on work at higher speed. The conducted tests

Zeszyty Problemowe – Maszyny Elektryczne Nr 68/2004

permitted an assessment of motor work quality at each of the two speeds. During tests, voltage, armature and excitation

currents course as well as direct start-up, steady asynchronous speed, synchronization and motor loading were recorded for

both rotating speeds. Armature current recording and harmonic analysis of these courses showed the degree of current

deformation caused by asymmetry of the excitation circuits, which is the condition to obtain the second, lower rotating speed.

An asynchronous run with small slip, permitted to establish motor’s synchronous reactance in both its axis. Two-step starting

of a two-pole motor is characterized by lower than a single pole motor starting current. Vibration measurements had shown

that the vibration level is higher than in a single pole motor. Thermo-visual temperature measurements demonstrate that the

maximal temperature appears on some bolts of the stator core and is higher at lower speed operation. The increased values of

vibration and temperatures of the tested two-pole motor do not exceed the permitted values.

THE ANALYSIS OF THE USE AND MODERNIZATION OF INDUCTION MOTORS WITH

FILLING WINDINGS DURING THE REPAIR

Abstract:

This article deals with the interrelationship of performance characteristics of the induction motors with the fillings

windings that are dependent on the type of windings which are used during the repair.

In order to decrease the labor-

intensiveness of the technological process one could make wider use of a lathe for the mechanized working of this kind of

motors. At the same time it could cause an increase in the losses in the magnetic wires, the size of power loss, the decreasing

of its reliability, and the term of its operation.

This type of motor could be mainly repaired by service station whose

technological equipment is different from the equipment of big businesses. A solution for all of these problems could be a

process of modernization of the stators’ windings during the repair. This modernization includes the replacement of single-

layer or single-double-layer concentric windings in favor of single-layer equipment windings or double-layer windings.

There

are examples of the realization of the different types of windings that could provide the minimization of copper use without

increasing the labor-intensiveness of the procedure. At the same time it provides the decrease of power lose in the motors

with invariably power factor.
