Testing of three-phase synchronous machines during refurbishment
Scope:
This standard covers three-phase, alternating current, salient pole synchronous machines 150 kW and up, 200 through 13,800 volts, at normal transmission frequencies and will assist in verifying the machine efficiency has been maintained.
Large 2-pole and 4-pole solid cylindrical rotor machines, typically used as generators for utility and large industrial applications, are excluded from this Standard.
Project need:
The primary objective of this project is to revise and update the current standard due to user feedback. The focus of the update will be geared toward performing tests that identify faults or defects that are known to impact motor efficiency and interpreting the test results to determine qualitatively (or quantitatively if possible) if motor efficiency is compromised.
