Applying Continuous Monitoring & Diagnosis (M&D) to Critical Rotating Machines with no Additional Device to Install: Copyright Material IEEE, Paper No. PCIC-2018-39

Rotating machines are widely used in almost all industries as a critical component for process availability. Inadvertent failure of rotating machines causes high repair expenses and loss of revenue. Existing Monitoring and Diagnosis (MD and take control actions. This paper further performs extensive testing of Stator M&D by monitoring the evolution of a stator interturn fault, and also lessons learnt from the site installation of an advanced MPR. Test results are presented from actual field data of a damaged rotating machine as well as a simulated stator-turn fault in a real time environment.
