Condition Monitoring of Electrical Machines

This panel session covers recent developments in condition monitoring techniques for electrical machines. The presentations will review the typical faults and abnormalities, such as rotor eccentricity, stator winding insulation degradation, permanent magnet damage and demagnetization, effects such as unbalanced magnetic pull, noise and vibration, and associated recommended condition monitoring methods. A wide range of electric machine technologies, from low power rating permanent magnet (PM) motors to large power medium voltage induction motors will be discussed.
