Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

WILLIAM T. THOMSON is Director and Consultant with EM Diagnostics Ltd, in Scotland. Prof. Thomson received a BSc (Hons) in Electrical Engineering in 1973 and an MSc in 1977 from the University of Strathclyde. He has published 72 papers on condition monitoring of induction motors in a variety of engineering journals such as IEEE Transactions (USA), IEE Proceedings (UK), and also at numerous International IEEE and IEE conferences. He is a senior member of the IEEE, a fellow of the IEE (IET) in the UK and a Chartered Professional Engineer registered in the UK.

IAN CULBERT was a Rotating Machines Specialist at Iris Power Qualitrol since April 2002 until his very untimely death on 8th September, 2015. At this company he provided consulting services to customers, assisted in product development, trained sales and field service staff and reviewed stator winding partial discharge reports. He has co-authored two books on electrical machine insulation design, evaluation, aging, testing and repair and was principal author of a number of Electric Power Research Institute reports on motor repair. Ian was a Registered Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario, Canada and a Senior Member of IEEE.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Provides coverage of Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) for cage induction motors

This book has 13 chapters and contains a unique database of 50 industrial case histories on theapplication of MCSA to diagnose broken rotor bars or unacceptable levels of airgap eccentricity in cage induction motors with ratings from 127 kW (170 H.P.) to 10,160 kW (13,620 H.P.). There are also unsuccessful case histories which is another unique feature of the book. The case studies also illustrate the effects of mechanical load dynamics downstream of the motor on the interpretation of current signatures. A number of cases are presented where abnormal operation of the driven loadwas diagnosed.

Other unique features include:

• All case histories are presented in a step-by-step format, with predictions and outcomes supported by current spectra and photographic evidence to confirm a correct orincorrect diagnosis
• Chapter 13 presents a critical appraisal of MCSA including successes, failures, and lessons learned via industrial case studies
• There are 10 questions at the end of chapters 1 to 12 and answers can be obtained viathe publisher

Current Signature Analysis for Condition Monitoring of Cage Induction Motors: Industrial Application and Case Histories serves as a reference for professional engineers, head electricians and technicians working with induction motors.
