Desirable characteristics of machine mounts for the above two purposes can differ significantly due to difference in nature of the excitation and performance criteria in the two situations. In this paper, relevant response quantities are identified that may be used to quantify performance and simplified models of rotating machines are presented using which these relevant response quantities may be calculated. Using random vibration approach with a stationary excitation, it is shown that significant improvement in seismic performance is achievable by proper mount design. Results of shaking table experiments performed with a realistic setup using a centrifugal pump are presented. It is concluded that a solution to this dual isolation problem lies in a semi-active mount capable switching its properties from ‘operation-optimum’ to ‘seismic-optimum’ at the onset of a seismic event.展开更多

After the model is mathematical described in the time domain, it is transferred into the Fourier domain, where the frequencies response functions regarding bearing housing vibrations, foundation vibrations and actuator forces are derived. Afterwards, the mathematical coherences are described in the Laplace domain and a worst case procedure is presented to analyze the vibration stability. For special controller structures in combination with certain feedback strategies, a calculation method is shown, where the controller parameters can be directly implemented into the stiffness matrix, damping matrix and mass matrix. Additionally a numerical example is presented, where the vibration stability and the frequency response functions are analyzed.展开更多

The main domain of application of these motors is the smoke extraction either from tunnels or underground parking when a fire occurs. In such a critical situation, the internal temperature of the motor winding may reach temperatures up to 400°C. Under such very high thermal stresses, the behaviour of the electrical insulation is not well understood. This work proposes an analysis of the decomposition gases under very high temperatures and the corresponding degradation pathway. A simple method is proposed to identify whether the insulation of such motors has been strongly damaged during the working time at very high temperatures, thus allowing estimating if it can still continue to operate.展开更多

No matter whether partial discharges can be considered as the main cause of deterioration of the insulation material, the initial cause of failure or not but an indication of the material degradation, there is no doubt that they are intimately linked to the aging of machine insulation. Material degradation can be detected by non-destructive techniques (e.g., partial discharge measurements, change of tan δ) or by destructive techniques, such as by cutting small pieces of the insulating material and by putting them under the scrutiny of the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Wind generators are a modern subject of research, especially in view of the growing demands of electric energy worldwide and the problems facing the environment all over the globe. Wind turbines are a novel field of research regarding partial discharge diagnostics since they are subjected to a variety of aging factors, which are different from conventional turbines. In this respect, particular attention should be paid to the multi-factor stressing of insulation and their consequences on the partial discharges.展开更多
