End-Winding Tests
Modal testing for stator end-windings: extend the reliability of your assets!
End-winding tests are essential for evaluating the structural integrity and performance of stator windings in large electrical machines. They are invaluable tools in both manufacturing and maintenance contexts.
End-winding testing is governed by the standard IEC TS 60034-32:2016, which provides detailed guidelines for conducting thorough assessments to ensure reliability. This standard introduces two key techniques:
Driving Point Analysis (DPA)
DPA measures the vibrational behavior of each individual stator end-winding, excited by an impact hammer. This method enables the detection of potential issues by checking for eigenmodes in the vicinity of electrical harmonics #1 and #2.
Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA)
EMA verifies the natural frequencies and mode shapes of electrical machines globally, aiming to mitigate heightened vibration levels. It involves measuring transfer functions and identifying dynamic properties through impact tests and accelerometers. It is crucial that global modes are kept clear of electromagnetic field harmonics.
