Podcasts about rotating machines

Generators and motors are exposed to various stress factors during operation, which can cause damaging faults. Periodic tests are recommended to determine whether machine components must be repaired or replaced. In this episode, OMICRON rotating machines testing expert, Fabian Öttl, talks about electromagnetic imperfection measurements (also known as ELCID testing), which are performed to assess the condition of and detect damaging faults in the stator cores of large machines.

Rotating electrical machines are critical for power generation and running critical processes in industrial applications. However, reliable performance can be compromised over time due to the stresses motors and generators are continuously subjected to when in operation. In this episode, we speak with David Hassmann, a project engineer at Baumüller Services – a company which specializes in the routine inspection, maintenance and repair of motors and generators. David talks about what causes machines to fail and describes the diagnostic tests that are performed to make reliable assessments about machine condition.

The ISO and API standards provide very useful information on evaluation criteria for evaluating rotating machinery. In most cases, applications are related to acceptance tests such as running test during first installation and more often during standard operating conditions.The goal of this webinar is to provide additional and expert advice in order to use and apply those standards in the daily routinary vibration data evaluation.Speaker:Luca Barraco – Regional Sales Manager at Prüftechnik (Fluke Reliability)Luca Barraco is passionate about condition monitoring solutions for rotating machines.
