Motor Testing
TECO-Westinghouse Motor Company synchronous motors and generators are tested to ensure compliance with specific performance requirements. Standard commercial tests per NEMA MG1 Part 21 include a check of winding resistances, mechanical vibration, insulation resistance, reading of field current, (stator and exciter), through visual and mechanical checks, bearing temperature rise, and airgap measurement. When required, testing procedures include noise tests per IEEE 85, as well as a complete engineering performance test per IEEE 115 to determine machine efficiency, temperature rises, starting characteristic, and other performances. |
