Why the right tools matter for maintaining a U.S. oil refinery
Variable-speed motors and drives are normally much more efficient than fixed-speed types, but even they don’t always work at peak efficiency. An analysis of VSDs at one drinking water pumping station helped save over 20% of energy costs – repaying many thousands of Euros every year. Load measurement at input and output of a VSD The main energy cost for water companies comes from pumping water up from the well and through the network. Variable-speed drives match output to demand and so...
Critical systems run smoothly with regular maintenance and reliable tools Everybody knows that consistent, dependable electrical power is critical to any plant's function. But perhaps even more critical is a reliable uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system. UPS systems are the silent partners that just sit and wait until there's a break in power. At that point, the UPS system is the most important system in the plant. It has to be ready to spring into action in milliseconds to keeps things running for anywhere from seconds to hours.

“Let's just oversize the motor and we can run it lightly loaded—that will save us some money and be easier on the motor.” This is a false belief among some who select and install motors. Properly sizing motors for a given load results in driving loads more efficiently, saving energy, and saving dollars. Motors typically are most efficient when they are 90 % to 95 % loaded. Just because a motor says “25 Hp” on the nameplate does not mean the motor is producing twenty-five horsepower as it operates.Clamp meter readings: Problems and Solutions
This article demonstrates how to detect the 13 most common causes of winding insulation and bearing failure in advance.
Vibration can result from a number of conditions, acting alone or in combination. Keep in mind that vibration problems might be caused by auxiliary equipment, not just the primary equipment.

Most problems with single-phase motors involve the centrifugal switch, thermal switch, or capacitor(s). If the problem is in the centrifugal switch, thermal switch, or capacitor, the motor is usually serviced and repaired. However, if the motor is more than 10 years old and less than 1 HP, the motor is usually replaced. If the motor is less than 1/8 HP, it is almost always replaced.

Automotive customers have zero tolerance for bad parts and therefore, electric motor maintenance needs utmost care. One of our customers, CNP Myszkow, coats small parts for the automotive industry. After dip spin painting, they heat-treat the parts in a tunnel furnace. This is divided into several areas, each with different temperatures. An electric motor drives a fan in each area to ensure stable temperatures since temperature stability relates strongly to final product quality. Any changes from...

As an electrician, your job can be like that of a radar operator when it comes to detecting the invisible. You have to be able to determine what is real and what is not, and separate what is dangerous from what only appears to be. Now there is a new tool that can help you make those critical decisions—the Fluke 117 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
Application note to detail how to measure and troubleshoot compressors, line temperatures, valve pressures and motors. Learn how to spot trouble before it happens, saving you and your client time and money.
Thermal images of motors reveal their operating conditions as reflected by their surface temperature. A thermographer can identify unusually hot temperatures potentially indicating inadequate airflow, impending bearing failure, shaft coupling problems, and insulation degredation.
Thermal imaging is especially useful for monitoring low-speed mechanical equipment like conveyors. Overheating signals the impending failure of many different electrical and mechanical conveyor components, from motors, gearboxes, and drives to bearings, shafts, and belts.

With their unique triggering and measuring functions, Fluke 190 Series ScopeMeters are ideal for analyzing the voltage-frequency ratio of pulse-width-modulated variable speed drives.
Electrical energy is the driving force of today´s world. It is available almost everywhere you go, and is capable of driving all sorts of equipment from heating and cooking equipment, through motors and ventilators to the PC that this application note is written on.
When it comes to compressors, many HVAC technicians are adding insulation resistance testing (IRT) to their bag of tricks. An insulation resistance tester supplies ´non destructive´ DC voltages to the windings and insulation points of a motor to measure the current leakage rate. There is no perfect insulator, they all leak. But the question is: How much do they leak and is the insulation leak rate changing through time due to insulation breakdown or contamination?
How Fluke thermal imagers, electrical testers and insulation multimeters can be used together for testing motors, drives, and panels.
