Description
In the fifth and final part of our "Basics of Rotating Machine Testing" how-to video series, Alexander Herrera—an OMICRON application engineer specializing in rotating machines—demonstrates how to perform the Stator Core Low Energy (EL CID) test. This vital procedure goes beyond the four standard tests for stator winding insulation, allowing you to identify inter-laminar insulation faults (hotspots) in the stator core of rotating machines. Discover how modern testing tools enable single-person operation and provide real-time visual diagnostics, including heat maps, to pinpoint exactly where potential issues reside in the stator core.
00:06 - Introduction to the stator core measurement setup
00:27 - Configuring OMICRON’s CPC 100 and PTM software for slot measurements
00:56 - Moving the rail and using OMICRON’s PT-Mate app
01:26 - Interpreting results: Identifying abnormal readings
01:56 - Using heat map views to locate stator core hotspots
02:25 - Summary and closing remarks
The first four videos in this series focus on assessing the insulation health and integrity of stator windings. Don't miss our how-to videos about the following diagnostic measurements:
- Part 1: DC Insulation Resistance & Polarization Index (PI) Measurement
- Part 2: Capacitance & Dissipation/Power Factor (Tan Delta) Measurement
- Part 3: Voltage Withstand (Overvoltage/Hi-Pot) Measurement
- Part 4: Partial Discharge (PD) Measurement
