The maintenance and testing on the windings of these machines (in the workshop and on-site) form a critical part of any condition monitoring plan.
Windings are continually put under increasing stress from modern industrial demands. As variable speed drive technology advances, and becomes the preferred choice for value and efficiency, motors face increased stress and demand on windings and insulation.
We have invested £60,000 in the latest test equipment to carry out many of the best recognised tests in one simple package, producing a report that can be used as an integral part of any condition monitoring programme. We carry out the following tests on electric motor windings, which together lead to a quantifiable evaluation of many types of insulated winding:
- Winding Resistance
- Insulation Resistance
- DC Hipot Test
- Surge Test
- Partial Discharge Test
