Ensuring the Low Vibration of Two-Pole Motors on Flexible Foundations: A Manufacturer-System Integrator Collaboration IEEE Ind. Appl. Mag. (IF 1.093) Pub Date : 2020-09-01 Timo P. Holopainen; Janne Roivainen; Samu Aarnivuo
Motor vibrations are tested as a part of factory acceptance testing (FAT), normally on a massive foundation. In two-pole motors, there are two main sources of vibration: rotor unbalance and electrical twice-line frequency excitation. Low vibration implies that the natural frequencies of the motor are separated from the corresponding excitation frequencies. Usually, if the site foundation is rigid,

Stator End-Winding Vibration in Two-Pole Machines: Avoiding Generator Failure IEEE Ind. Appl. Mag. (IF 1.093) Pub Date : 2020-08-28 John Letal; Bayu Satmoko; Nixon Manik; Greg Stone
In the past 15 years, insurance industry data have indicated that stator end-winding vibration has become the most important cause of generator failure. The source of vibration is the current creating magnetic forces between coils, and it may be amplified due to mechanical resonance. End-winding vibration leads to failure by insulation abrasion or copper fatigue cracking. The extent of the repair caused

Medium-Voltage Motor Optimization: Two Ways to Choose Cost-Effective ac Machines IEEE Ind. Appl. Mag. (IF 1.093) Pub Date : 2020-09-07 Chris Heron; Raymond Catlett; Dorothy Siplin
This article presents two alternatives to make choosing the appropriate cost-effective ac machine for a given application easier. One option increases the short circuit capacity (SCC) at the motor bus; the other uses a synchronous machine (SM) in lieu of an induction machine (IM). Both methods have the potential to yield higher-efficiency designs with better transient ridethrough capability.
