This instrument accomplished fully remote monitoring from the Motor Control Center (MCC), is a non-hazardous low-voltage battery operated unit, and is highly portable and durable for use in even the tightest and most rugged circumstances.
- This in-service motor analyzer takes the next step in providing complete P/PM programs. It provides root cause analysis through the separation of mechanical and electrical issues. The EXP3000 is superiorly designed to pinpoint challenges (voltage source, VFD, motor, load) your rotating machinery faces. This self-contained portable instrument is computer driven with proven engineering, allowing all testing to be accomplished directly from the MCC or from the Baker EP connection.
- The EXP3000 performs seven major functions in a predictive maintenance program. It identifies possible power circuit problems that degrade motor health, examines overall motor power conditions, monitors the load and observes motor performance plus estimating energy savings. It is programmed to supply information on voltage level, voltage balance, harmonic and total distortion, rotor cage condition, motor efficiency, effective service factor, overcurrent, operating condition, torque and load.
- Once testing is completed, results can be saved and stored for each individual motor. This type of documentation is critical for any predictive maintenance program. It allows the recalling of previous information for true trending capabilities. With the EXP3000, test results are collected, stored, recalled and managed using standard MS Access® relational database file formats. Reports can be generated quickly and easily through the main print console, allowing operators visual confirmation of motor integrity.
- Survey plant wide efficiency with the EXP3000 and determine load mismatches, oscillating load, and transient peak energy. It 's on-line capabilities allow accurate assessment of operating load conditions over time. Results are immediate and show operating efficiencies allowing you to determine the true cost of wasted energy.
- Test Domains
- Power Quality: This domain identifies non-optimal power quality problems, which cause additional motor stress. Flag frequent problems with voltage level, voltage balance, harmonic distortion, total distortion, power and harmonics tests. These consist of wrong settings on supply transformer's taps, poorly distributed single phase loads, overloading (saturating) supply transformers, excessive VFDs onlow voltage busses, excessing non-harmonic frequencies on a VFD, missing line inductors on VFD applications and missing or open power factor correction capacitors.
- Machine Performance: Conclusively evaluate the operation of the motor, identifying stressful operation and its source with this domain. It looks at Effective Service Factor, Load, Operation Condition, Efficiency, and calculates Pay Back Period. Commonly found problems include: thermal overloading of the motor, recognizes the deterioration of the machine among other items that are directly related to the motors health and the energy wasted with inefficiencies.
- Current: These tests identify problems with the entire machine system. They include Overcurrent and Current Unbalance. These tests look at the health of the entire system and describe the problem as it relates to current.
- Spectrum: This domain has the rotor bar test along with the V/I Spectrum, Demodulated Spectrum, and Harmonics. It shows the current an voltage relationships with regard to frequency. Electrically it will find saturation problems, broken rotor bars, excessive VFD drives on low voltage busses and it can verify mechanical problems.
- Torque: The torque domain is a highly important breakthrough for Baker Instrument Company, an SKF Group Company. These tests, Torque Ripple and Torque Spectrum, enable the user to find a numerous amount of problems quickly and accurately. This domain specializes in diagnosing mechanical issues, shows transient overloading, finds soft-foot mechanical imbalances along with bearing problems, cavitation and many other items.
- Connections: This portion of the EXP3000R offers multiple additional tools, including phasor diagrams, 3 currents, 3 voltages, and harmonic bar charts, instantaneous voltage, frequency, symmetrical components, and speed traces for dynamic VFD applications. Jointly these tools assess bearing health, rotor unbalance, misalignment and bent shaft.
- VFD Monitoring (Optional): Along with any three phase induction motor and generator, the EXP3000 will monitor the activities of Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) applications and AC servo motors. These style of drives have always created problems for maintenance professionals and for the first time comprehensive diagnosis of motor problems are facilitated even under the most demanding VFD operations.
- Continuous Monitoring: The newest feature of the EXP3000 is the CM3000 or Continuous Monitoring software. This software enables the user to monitor upwards of 41 data points real time. This real time and continuous data gathering capability will give immediate impact in finding intermittent problems with motors such as electrical tripping. This user customizable software enables the operator to collect real time data on whatever is deemed the most important to the operation. This portion of the EXP3000 will also act as a power analyzer to determine actual power quality.
- Transient Analysis: The EXP3000 also performs a transient analysis using the transient analysis tool. The traces are the rms currents and voltages of three phases. This data can be zoomed, panned, and the cursors allow reading of levels and time within the graphs. Along with this powerful analysis capability startup torque versus time can be evaluated. These tools allow the user to visually see the amplitude of voltage, current and torque at startup along with motor startup time. Finally, as the startup process concludes, the final level voltage, current and torque is visualized.
- Efficiency: Efficiency assessment, pay-back period and Motor Master+ identify motors performing under par, and calculates the pay-back period if replaced by a new motor. The EXP3000 out competes other instrumentation in both accuracy of efficiency estimation and in ease of use for field environments.
