    firing frequency = numebr cylinder-1 ??? Is this really firing?

    Good morning to everyone, some strange spectra today during analisys. DIESEL TCG 2020 V16 (caterpillar) connected directly on MARELLI generator Speed: 1500 RPM I found about 87Hz as exactly 7 times firing frequency (1/2 RPM) till 10 mm/s as below Lot of time i found some problem with...

    Cardan shafts problem

    Hello to everyone, i have really strange case about cardan shaft problems. I attachment you find some photos about one of the cardan shaft failured. This is paper mill company and have big trouble during last year. All motors are DC motors with one AC/DC drive per unit motor. Some indications...

    Best European or world predictive maintenance exibition

    I'm creating a new company branch as predicitve maintenance for customers so i need to buy some instrumentation. I've already bought a vibration portable instrument but because i want to provide more services i'm looking for the rest of instrumentation. Often the best opporunity is in exibitions...

    Kurtosis miss indication of impacting

    Hello Guys, i have 2 data acquisition with 2 waveform one with impulse and one without. I made some calculation with my instruments and it is very easy to evaluate impulsiveness of the waveform. Why, instead, Kurtosis seems have missed this impulsiveness of the waveform? Let me know about your...

    Syncronous Magnetic Reluctance motor vibrations

    Just today I learned about the existence of synchronous magnetic reluctance motors. I'm trying to learn about the theory behind focusing on vibration measurements. I think that is as normal motor with some efficiency improvement but i think that in general some different vibrations could came...

    Transient current on 40MVA transformer

    Good morning everyone, i know during braker closing on 132KV system, transformer have a particular behavior. Firstly high current absortion called magentizing inrush current, this current have 10 times steady state current, have distortion because of core saturation. There are considerations...

    Gaussmeter to verify motor field problem

    Hello, i heard about possibility to make some measurements with gaussmeter (or similar) to check about winding condition of the motor, anyone have experiences about it? Could be usefull more than vibration analysis for electrical poiint of view? Could you suggest some device to try? Regards

    Motor load 50%of nameplate data

    Hello guys, i have a very strange fact. i have 7 fan vertical motor-pulley-fan in a steam condensation field and for every motor i collected phase-phase voltage, phase-neutral voltage, and phase current. All the motor are mechanically and electrically equal and have 380V, 88A, cosfi=0,82 data...

    Motor pump bearing problem

    Hy guys, i have a boiler food pump 278Kw 6000Vac 3000RPM have a recursive bearing failure. There are # 2 NU317 and #1 6317C3 on DE. The failure occur at 6317 bearing and it is a classic fatigue damage as described in bearing detection failure manual (SKF or FAG). This bearing life is aprox 6...

    2-3 hz measurement

    This is strange request, What do you will use to acquire 2-3 Hz? Other than specific sensors(seismic) there are particular techniques using normal 100 or 500 mv/g or normal velocity sensors?

    VFD DC bus problem on line fault

    Hi guys, we had a 3 phase current unbalace problem due to a ph to ph short (high negative sequence). In this situation 2 phase increased and one goes near to 0. This problem could be induce on a thyristor dc bridge some type of malfunction? This could be cause a broken on thyristor or motor...

    Reactive power Theory

    Hy Guys, this is very simple post but it is not so clear with my knowledge. When i want to change reactive power in a Generator i have to control the excitation current and this is a fact... Looking at formulas and power triangle i can assume the S=V*I, P=S*cosfi, Q=S*senfi What exactly...
