On-Line & Off-Line PDA System

Partial discharges are plasma processes which take place generally in a gas. Whenever the electrical field in a gas space exceeds the inception field of the gas, partial discharges are created: on the surface of an insulator, due to conductive contamination, in air inclusions of the insulation as a result of mechanical forces. The gas plasma accelerates ageing and corrosive substances as ozone and NO2 are created. However the mechanical wear or a surface contamination is usually more harmful than the partial discharge action. As the presence of partial discharges cannot be avoided in rotating machines insulation, mica is applied as a partial discharge resistant medium. By-products of the partial discharge are commonly white powders which can be found in many locations of the machines.

Avoid unnecessary rewinds on older machines by maximizing the operating hours from a stator winding Avoid unexpected in-service failures of the stator winding Find a problem and correct it before failure Find problems on new machines which may still be under warranty Assess the quality of maintenance repairs and/or rewinds with before and after readings Compare results from similar machines to focus maintenance on those with higher levels of PD Identify specific failure mechanisms in the stator winding to allow for corrective action prior to an outage Improve the overall reliability of motors & generators

GASCO MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION POLICY CHAPTER 7 - ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE Generators Inspection:
Special attention shall be given to the HV generators windings. In order to assess their condition on-line PDA should be performed regularly with a recommended interval of 6 months to 1 year. Data may be sent to Vendor's specialist for detailed analysis in case of abnormal data collected. For the emergency generators which are not PDA tested a thorough visual inspection, insulation resistance check and polarization index measurement should be done on a regular basis with maximum interval of three years.
