On-line PD measurements of a critical motor in a chemical plant

Read our recent case study showcasing our innovative approach to maintaining critical motors in industrial settings. After spotting corrosion on their 10 kV, 6.7 MVA motor just two months after its refurbishment, a chemical plant in Europe asked Megger for help. Online partial discharge measurements helped uncover critical issues that could have led to downtime and significant economic losses. 

Learn: 

  • How phase-resolved partial discharge patterns indicated insulation aging and surface discharges, correlated with dust contamination, and were utilized to assess the severity of the issues. 
  • The immediate actions we recommended, including installing a partial discharge monitoring device for continuous monitoring and investigating the source of dust within the cooling system
