    Section 1General

    of redesign shown. The original nameplate may bereversed (blank side out) to prevent misinterpreta-tion, but it should remain with the frame.

    1.4 CLEANINGAll windings and parts should be cleaned. Dirt,

    grit, grease, oil, and cleaning agents should be re-moved. Windings and parts should then be dried.

    1.5 TERMINAL LEADSAll apparatus should be equipped with lead wire

    of rated temperature and voltage insulation and ofsufficient current carrying capacity. The tempera-ture rating should be appropriate for the duty andany oven curing process, and allow for the effect ofheat transfer to the terminals.

    All leads should be suitably marked or coloredwhere necessary to indicate correct connection. Leadmarkings should conform to original manufacturermarkings, NEMA Stds. MG 1 or IEC Stds. 60034-8,whichever is applicable.

    Leads and markings should be of sufficient dura-bility to withstand the environment involved andbe of sufficient length for ease of connecting to powersupply at the terminal box or to terminal blocks.Leads on totally enclosed apparatus should be prop-erly sealed to meet environmental operatingconditions.

    A print or plate should be furnished, where nec-essary, indicating correct connections.

    1.6 TERMINAL CONNECTORSThe recommended method of attaching terminal

    connectors (lugs) to lead wire is by crimping or pres-sure indenting the lug barrel, using a lug sized tosuit the particular cable stranding provided, in ac-cordance with recommendations of the lugmanufacturer.

    Damaged or missing lugs should be repaired orreplaced.

    1.7 TERMINAL BOXESTerminal boxes should accommodate the connec-

    tions without crowding. Missing terminal boxesshould be replaced, and damaged terminal boxesshould be repaired or replaced. See NEMA Stds.MG 1, 4.19 for guidance on replacement terminalboxes. Gaskets and seals should be replaced wherenecessary.

    1.8 COOLING SYSTEMThe fans and cooling ducts should be clean and

    1.1 PURPOSEThe purpose of this document is to establish guide-

    lines in each step of electrical apparatus rewindingand rebuilding.

    1.2 SCOPEThis document describes record keeping, tests,

    analysis, and general guidelines for the repair ofelectrical motors and generators. It is not intendedto take the place of the customer’s or the machinemanufacturer’s specific instructions or specifica-tions.

    Excluded from the scope of this document are spe-cific requirements, certification, and inspectionrequired for listed explosion proof, dust-ignition-proof, and other listed machines for hazardouslocations; and specific or additional requirementsfor hermetic motors, hydrogen-cooled machines, sub-mersible motors, traction motors, or Class 1E nuclearservice motors.

    1.3 IDENTIFICATION

    1.3.1 Service Center LabelingMachines received for repair should have the re-

    pair company’s name or identifying logo and shoporder number permanently embossed or inscribedadjacent to the nameplate on the frame for futurereference. This shop order number should be listedon the repair invoice.

    1.3.2 RecordsA record of each machine received for repair should

    be established at the time of receipt and kept on filefor at least 3 years. The record should include thenameplate data, electrical test data (both before andafter repair), mechanical measurements (both be-fore and after repair), original winding data, finalwinding data, and details of replaced parts. Thisrecord should be made available to the customer forreview if requested. The primary cause of failureshould be determined, if possible, and should be re-corded on the apparatus repair record.

    1.3.3 NameplateAn electrical machine should have a permanent

    nameplate containing the principal informationneeded to put the machine into service. The originalnameplate is preferred. If a machine is redesigned,the original nameplate should remain on the unitand a new nameplate mounted adjacent to it withthe word “redesigned” and the new rating and date

    operational. Cover plates and air baffles should bein place. Damaged or missing parts of the coolingsystem should be repaired or replaced.

    1.9 EXTERIOR FINISHApparatus should be externally cleaned and

    painted. Shaft extensions should be treated to pre-vent corrosion.

    1.10 PACKAGING ANDTRANSPORTATION

    After completion of the repair and testing, themachine should be packed in a manner suitable for

    the form of transport to be used. Packing and trans-port should be as arranged with the customer.Blocking of the shaft is recommended, dependingon the type of machine, mode of transport and thedistance to be traveled. Where blocking is used, itshould be clearly identified. Oil-lubricated machinesshould be shipped without oil, and the need for lu-bricant clearly identified.

    Section 2Mechanical Repair

    ers, when provided, should be inspected and replacedif necessary.

    2.2.2.3 SealsSeal clearance should be set to original equipment

    manufacturer’s specifications if available. Otherwise,the values in Table 2-7 are provided as a guide.Measure the final seal dimensions.

    2.3 LUBRICATION

    2.3.1 GreaseGrease passages and pipes should be clean. Grease

    inlets should be equipped with fittings. Greaseshould be compatible with the customer’s lubricant.Open bearings should be filled with grease duringassembly.

    In the absence of the machine manufacturer’s lu-brication instructions, the grease reservoir shouldbe filled to approximately 1/3 capacity.2.3.2 Oil

    Oil should be compatible with the customer’s lu-bricant. There should be a means to determine oillevel, such as an oil sight gauge.

    2.4 FRAME AND BEARINGHOUSINGS

    2.4.1 GeneralFrame and bearing housings should be examined

    for defects. Cracks and breaks should be repairedand fits restored to manufacturer’s specifications.2.4.2 Mounting Surface Tolerances,

    Eccentricity and Face Runout• NEMA Type C face-mounting motors and Type

    D flange-mounting motors: See Table 2-8.• NEMA Type P flange-mounting motors: See

    Table 2-9.• IEC flange-mounted machines: See Table 2-10

    and Table 2-11.

    2.5 LAMINATIONSThe rotor laminations should be of proper fit on

    the shaft, sleeve or spider on which the laminationstack is assembled. The fit should be restored if it isfound to be loose. The outer diameter of the rotorlaminations should be true and concentric with thebearing journals.

    The stator laminations should not be loose in theframe. The bore of the stator laminations should betrue and concentric with the rabbet (spigot) diam-eter of the frame.

    2.1 SHAFTSShafts should be checked for wear, cracks, scoring

    and straightness.2.1.1 Shaft Extensions

    Shaft extensions should be smooth, polished andconcentric with the shaft center. Shaft extensiondimensions should be checked.2.1.1.1 Diameter Tolerances

    • NEMA frame size machines: See Table 2-1.• IEC frame size machines: See Table 2-2.

    2.1.1.2 Permissible Runout• NEMA frame size machines: See Table 2-3.• IEC frame size machines: See Table 2-4.

    2.1.1.3 Keyseat (Keyway) WidthTolerances

    • NEMA frame size machines: See Table 2-5.• IEC frame size machines: See Table 2-6.Keyseats should be true and accommodate keys

    to a tap fit.

    2.2 BEARINGS

    2.2.1 Ball or Roller BearingsBearing housing and shaft bearing fits should be

    measured and compared to manufacturer’s specifi-cations (Reference: ANSI/ABMA Stds. 7 as a guide).Any fits that are not within tolerance should berestored. See Tables 2-13 and 2-14.2.2.2 Sleeve Bearings

    When sleeve bearings are remanufactured orreplaced by new bearings, the fit in the housing andthe diametral clearance should be set to originalequipment manufacturer’s specifications if available.See Section 9 of the EASA Technical Manual forguidance on diametral clearances for oil-lubricatedhorizontally-mounted sleeve bearings. Measure thenew bearing dimensions.

    Sleeve bearings should be uniform in diameter, ofproper fit in the housing, smooth internally, andsuitably grooved for adequate distribution oflubricant. Note: Not all sleeve bearing bores are cy-lindrical.

    2.2.2.1 Sleeve Bearing End-ThrustBearings of horizontal machines should be posi-

    tioned on the shaft to eliminate end-thrust againsteither bearing.2.2.2.2 Oil Rings

    Oil rings should be true and rotate freely. Retain-

    2.6 BALANCINGDynamic balancing should be to the level speci-

    fied by the customer. In the absence of a requestedlevel, dynamic balancing to balance quality gradeG2.5 (ISO 1940/1) should enable the machine to meetfinal vibration limits as defined in Paragraph 4.5.6.

    Note: Locate balance weights so that they do notinterfere with other components.

    2.7 SLIP RINGSThe slip rings should be turned to concentricity

    with the shaft bearing seats.The surface of the finished rings should be smooth

    and polished.Slip rings should have sufficient stock to ensure

    proper brush performance. Manufacturer’s limitsshould apply.

    2.8 COMMUTATORS

    2.8.1 MachiningThe commutator should be turned to concentric-

    ity with the shaft bearing seats.The surface of the machined commutator should

    be smooth and burnished. No flat spots or high, lowor loose segments should exist.

    Commutators should have sufficient stock to en-sure proper brush performance. Manufacturer’slimits should apply.

    2.8.2 UndercuttingThe mica should be undercut, or left flush, as re-

    quired by the application. When undercut, the micashould be removed along the sides of the bar for atleast the complete length up to the riser or dustgroove and to a depth of approximately the width ofthe slot. Undercut areas should be free of foreignmaterial and high mica.

    Beveling may be required for those commutatorsthat have rough segment edges resulting from work-hardening of the copper during the undercuttingprocess.

    2.9 BRUSHHOLDERSBrushholders should be clean and free of any grit,

    oil, or dirt. Movable brushholder parts should be freeworking. The brush fit in the brushholder box shouldbe inspected for excessive clearance, and worn brush-holders should be replaced. Clearances should be asspecified in Table 2-12.

    Brush stud insulation should be free of cracks andshould not be charred or have pieces missing.

    In the final assembly of the machine, brushhold-ers should be adjusted for clearance to thecommutator or slip rings of 0.060 inch (1.5 mm) to0.125 inch (3mm), depending on the size of the unit.

    Manufacturer’s specifications should apply.For commutator machines, it should be verified

    that the brushholders align the brushes with thecommutator bars and maintain equal radial spac-ing between brushes.

    Spring pressure should be measured and adjustedto a range recommended by the original equipmentmanufacturer or the brush manufacturer for thespecific application and brush type. For commuta-tor machines, brush springs should provide therequired brush pressure for successful commutation.

    Brushholders and jumpers should be high-poten-tial tested to the machine frame at the test voltagespecified for the corresponding winding circuit (seeSubsection 4.4).

    2.10 BRUSHESBrush shunts should be tight in the brush and

    connections to the holder should be clean and tightand clear of other items.

    The face of the brush should be seated, or con-toured, to make full contact with the commutatorsurface or slip rings. The brush fit in the brushholderbox should be inspected for side clearance (see Table2-12) and for excessively worn brushes. Brushesworn beyond useful length should be replaced.

    Brushes in the same circuit of a machine shouldbe of the same grade unless otherwise specified bythe original equipment manufacturer. For DC ma-chines, brushes should be the size and grade to givesuccessful commutation in normal service.

    2.11 BRUSH SETTING FOR DCMACHINES

    In the final assembly, the brush rigging should bepositioned so that the brushes are set for brush neu-tral, with brush position clearly marked. Acceptedmethods of determining this position vary widely,and no single standard procedure applies.

    Note: In an assembled DC machine, each brushmust contact at least two commutator bars at a time.Then, the brush short-circuits the armature coil con-nected to these bars. The brushes are considered tobe set for brush neutral when the armature coilsshorted by the brushes are midway between mainpoles.

    2.12 AIR GAP MEASUREMENT OFDC MACHINES

    In a DC machine, the radial length of all mainand interpole air gaps should be uniform and to origi-nal manufacturer specification.

    2.13 ACCESSORIESCapacitors should be tested for rated capacitance

    and subjected to a high-potential test (see Paragraph

    Section 2, Page 2

  • EASA AR100-2006 Recommended Practice - Rev. May 2006

    5

    4.4). Capacitors should be replaced if damaged.Short circuit devices, centrifugal mechanisms,

    switches, and starting relays should be verified forelectrical and mechanical operation at correct speedand voltage. These items should be replaced ifdamaged.

    Terminal boards should be replaced if damaged.

    Space heaters should be tested for rated currentor power and subjected to a high-potential test (seeParagraph 4.4). They should be replaced if damaged.

    Bearing temperature sensors or protectors shouldbe identical with or equivalent to the original de-vices in electrical and thermal characteristics.

    Speeds given are synchronous speeds corresponding to the applicable line frequencyand winding poles. Dimensions shown in millimeters are rounded off. The above table isto be used for horizontal machines with bronze/brass labyrinth seals, absent specificclearance recommendations from the manufacturer. Galling materials, such as cast-iron,may require greater clearance. Vertical machines may require less clearance. Labyrinthseal clearance must always be greater than the bearing clearance. A general rule ofthumb suggests labyrinth seal clearance should be 0.002” - 0.004” (.050 - .100 mm)greater than the sleeve bearing clearance.*The shaft diameter is the diameter at the seal fit; and “up to” means “up to but not including.”**The diametral clearance is the clearance for the applicable range of shaft diameter.

    Section 3Rewinding

    3.1 INSPECTION

    3.1.1 WindingsThe condition of the windings and the extent of

    repairs should be determined by inspection and, asnecessary, by tests (see Section 4).

    Bars and end rings for amortisseur and squirrelcage windings should be examined for evidence ofdefects. Testing may be needed (see Paragraph 4.3.2).

    Winding data should be reviewed for accuracy.3.1.2 Core Laminations

    Cores should be examined for evidence of short-ing or lamination hot spots. Testing may be needed(see Paragraph 4.2.8).3.1.3 Thermal Protectors or Sensors

    Thermostats, resistance temperature detectors(RTDs), thermocouples and thermistors should bechecked for electrical and physical defects.

    3.2 REWIND SPECIFICATIONThe winding should maintain the same electrical

    characteristics as the original.

    3.3 STRIPPING OF WINDINGSDefective windings should be removed from the

    core in a manner that will not damage the lamina-tions or other components. Oven temperature shouldbe controlled to avoid degradation of the inter-laminar insulation and distortion of any parts. Coreslots should be clean and free of sharp edges or par-ticles.

    3.4 INSULATION SYSTEMThe entire insulation system, materials, and meth-

    ods of application should be equal to or better thanthat used by the original machine manufacturer. Allcomponents of the insulation system must be com-patible with each other with respect to electrical,mechanical, and thermal characteristics. The insu-lation system should withstand the high-potentialtests described in Subsection 4.4 and the normaloperation of the machine.

    3.5 CONDUCTORSThe current-carrying capacity, insulation, and

    mechanical qualities of the conductors should besuitable for the environment in which the machineis to operate. The temperature rating of the coil con-ductor insulation should be equal to or higher thanthat of the insulation system. If the conductor ma-terial is changed, it should be equal to or better than

    the original material in all aspects of performanceand application.

    3.6 STATOR, ROTOR, ANDARMATURE COILS

    Coil extensions should not be longer than theoriginals.

    3.6.1 Random-Wound CoilsCoils should be wound and inserted in the core

    slots with a minimum of crossed conductors. Careshould be taken not to damage the insulation or con-ductors. Coils should be wedged with full-length topsticks to hold them securely in the slots. Inter-phaseinsulation should be used (where applicable).

    3.6.2 Form-Wound CoilsThe fabricating of coil loops and the forming of

    these loops into the coil shape should be accom-plished without damage to the conductor insulation.Each layer of coil insulation should be uniformly andtightly applied to minimize stress points and airvoids.

    Coils should be placed in the core slots withoutdamaging the coil insulation. Coils should tightlyfit slots. Coils should be wedged to hold them se-curely in the slots. Surge rings or similar supportsshould be secured to the coils and the coils laced toone another as necessary to minimize coil distor-tion.

    3.7 FIELD COILSWhere high rigidity and a complete bonding of all

    the components is required, a high bond strengthvarnish or a thixotropic resin should be applied tothe ground insulation and to each layer of the coilduring winding of the coil; otherwise, vacuum pres-sure impregnation may be utilized when a completebond between insulation and conductors can beensured.

    3.7.1 Stationary CoilsVarnish treatment of shunt, series and interpole

    coils is acceptable for coils originally manufacturedby this method.

    The insulation of the outer coil layer should besufficient to withstand surges or inductive voltagespikes.

    3.7.2 Rotating CoilsCoils and pole pieces should be securely wedged

    and braced when installed.

    3.8 AMORTISSEUR AND SQUIR-REL CAGE WINDINGS

    Bars for amortisseur and squirrel cage windingsshould fit tightly in the core slots. End rings shouldbe secured to the bars by welding or brazing, as ap-propriate for materials used. The winding shouldmaintain the same electrical characteristics as theoriginal unless redesigned by agreement with, or atthe instruction of, the customer.

    The winding should withstand thermal and me-chanical forces that occur during normal operationof the machine.

    For balancing, see Subsection 2.6.

    3.9 THERMAL PROTECTORS ORSENSORS

    Thermostats, resistance temperature detectors(RTDs), thermocouples and thermistors should beidentical with or equivalent to the original devicesin electrical and thermal characteristics and placedat the same locations in the winding. Thermal pro-tectors or sensors should be removed or omitted onlywith customer consent.

    3.10 SHAPING AND LACING OFSTATOR WINDINGS

    End windings should be shaped and laced asneeded to provide the necessary clearance to therotor, stator, frame, bearing housings, air deflectorsand frame hardware. End windings should be ableto endure starting currents. On larger machineswhere surge rings (coil supports) are used, the ringsshould be suitably insulated, accurately fitted andlaced to the coils to insure adequate support for thewinding. Blocking between coils on end windings offormed coils should equal or exceed the original instrength against end winding movement.

    Restrictions to air flow should be avoided.

    3.11 COIL CONNECTIONS

    3.11.1Making ConnectionsConnections which are made by crimping, solder-

    ing, brazing, or welding should use materials thathave adequate conductivity and are mechanicallystrong enough to withstand the normal operatingconditions. Materials such as solder paste, fluxes,inhibitors and compounds, where employed, shouldbe neutralized after using. These materials shouldbe suitable for the intended use and of a type thatwill not adversely affect the conductors. Solderedjoints should not be used in place of brazed or weldedjoints.

    Connections and splices should be so constructedas to have conductivity equal to or greater than theconductors of the winding.

    3.11.2 Insulating ConnectionsConnections should be adequately insulated to

    withstand the temperature and voltage ratings ofthe machine and be mechanically adequate to with-stand normal operation. Connections and leadsshould be laced, tied, or otherwise securely fastenedto prevent movement.

    The insulation should be applied so as to allowthe varnish/resin to penetrate.

    3.12 WEDGESWedges for stators, armatures and rotors should

    have adequate mechanical strength and thermalrating to withstand normal operation of the machine.

    Wedges should fit tightly in the slots.

    3.13 BANDING OF ROTORS ANDARMATURES

    Bandings should be secured, tied, or laced and bemechanically strong enough to withstand the cen-trifugal force, current surges, and vibrations ofnormal operation of the machine, includingoverspeed (where applicable).

    Resin-filled glass banding tape may be applieddirectly to the winding. It should be applied at themanufacturer’s recommended tension and methodof curing. The banding should be of sufficient thick-ness and width to restrain the coils.

    When wire banding is used, it should be appliedto the winding over banding insulation. The band-ing should match the original in location, material(magnetic or non-magnetic), wire size and numberof turns. The wire should be applied with sufficienttension to hold the coils in place without distortingthem.

    Caution: Replacing wire banding with resin-filledglass banding may change the magnetic circuit con-figuration, affecting commutation and thermalrating of the winding. Similar effects may result fromreplacing glass banding with wire banding.

    3.14 IMPREGNATION OF WINDINGSWindings of rewound machines should be pre-

    heated, varnish/resin treated and cured using amethod of application and a material of sufficientthermal rating to withstand the normal operationof the machine. The treatment should be compat-ible with the entire insulation system and suitablefor the environment in which the machine is tooperate.

    Section 4Testing

    4.2.3 Polarization Index (P-I) TestThe polarization index test should be performed

    at the same voltage as the test in Paragraph 4.2.2for ten minutes. The recommended minimum valueof polarization index for windings rated Class B andhigher is 2.0 (References: IEEE Stds. 43, Sec. 9.2;and IEEE Stds. 432, App. A2).

    If the one minute insulation resistance is above5000 megohms, the calculated polarization index(P.I.) may not be meaningful. In such cases, the P.I.may be disregarded as a measure of winding condi-tion (Reference: IEEE 43, Sec. 5.4 and 12.2).4.2.4 Insulation Power Factor Tests

    Insulation power factor, dissipation factor, and tip-up tests may be performed on large machines.Interpretation of results is by comparison with re-sults of tests on similar machines. No standardinterpretation of results has been established (Ref-erence: IEEE Stds. 432, Sec. 8.1).

    4.1 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONSSee Appendix for safety considerations.

    4.2 INSULATION CONDITIONTESTS

    Tests should be performed to indicate the suitabil-ity of the insulation for continued operation.Inspection and insulation resistance tests should beperformed with acceptable results before the high-potential tests. Other tests, indicated below, may alsobe applied. All test results should be retained. Trendsin results are often better condition indicators thanthe absolute values (Reference: IEEE Stds. 95).

    4.2.1 InspectionInsulation should be examined for evidence of deg-

    radation or damage, such as:(1) Puffiness, cracking, separation or discolora-

    tion as indication of thermal aging.(2) Contamination of coil and connection

    surfaces.(3) Abrasion or other mechanical stresses.(4) Evidence of partial discharges (corona).(5) Loose wedges, fillers, ties, banding, or surge

    rings.(6) Fretting at supports, bracing or crossings (an

    indication of looseness or movement).(Reference: IEEE Stds. 432, Sec. 5.)

    4.2.5 Step Voltage TestStep voltage tests are useful if performed at regu-

    lar maintenance intervals. Changes in results mayindicate insulation degradation (Reference: IEEEStds. 95).4.2.6 Turn-To-Turn Test

    Accepted methods of testing turn-to-turn insula-tion vary widely. No single standard procedureapplies, although several standards touch on thesubject (IEEE Stds. 432, 522, and 792; and NEMAStds. MG 1, 12.5).4.2.7 Surge Comparison Testing

    The surge comparison test is most often appliedto winding circuits using a test voltage of twice thecircuit rating plus 1000 volts.4.2.8 Interlaminar Insulation Test

    Defects in laminated cores can be detected by loopor core tests (Reference: IEEE Stds. 432, Sec. 9.1,App. A4).4.2.9 Bearing Insulation Test

    Bearing insulation should be tested with a 500Vmegohmmeter. Insulation resistance should be 1megohm or greater.

    4.3 RECOMMENDED WINDINGTESTS

    Windings should be tested to ensure that thereare no grounds, short circuits, open circuits, incor-rect connections or high resistance connections.

    4.3.1 Stator and Wound-RotorWindings

    One or more of the following tests should be per-formed:

    (1) Insulation resistance test.(2) Winding resistance test.(3) Growler test.(4) Phase-balance test.(5) Surge comparison test.(6) Polarity test.(7) Ball rotation test (low voltage energization).

    4.3.2 Squirrel Cage WindingsOne or both of these tests should be performed:(1) Growler test.(2) Single-phase test.

    4.3.3 Armature WindingsOne or more of the following tests should be

    performed:(1) Insulation resistance test.(2) Growler test.(3) Surge comparison test.(4) Bar-to-bar resistance or voltage drop test.

    4.3.4 Shunt, Series, Interpole, Compen-sating and Synchronous RotorWindings

    One or more of the following tests should beperformed:

    (1) Insulation resistance test.(2) Winding resistance test.(3) Surge comparison test.(4) Voltage drop test (DC or AC voltage), coils in

    series.The variation in DC voltage drops shouldnot be greater than 5% between coils ofsame field circuit.10% variation in AC test results is accept-able if the DC test is within limit.

    4.3.5 Interconnection of WindingsShunt, series, interpole, compensating, and syn-

    chronous rotor windings should be tested to ensurethat the polarities and connections are correct. Ter-minal and lead markings should comply withSubsection 1.5.

    4.4 HIGH-POTENTIAL TESTSHigh-potential tests should be performed on wind-

    ings and some accessories of electrical machines ata specified voltage. To avoid excessive stressing ofthe insulation, repeated application of the high-po-tential test voltage is not recommended.

    Machines to be tested must be clean and dry. In-spection and insulation resistance tests withacceptable results should be performed before thehigh-potential tests. Insulation resistance testsshould be repeated at the completion of the high-potential tests.

    When a high-potential test is conducted on an as-sembled brushless exciter and synchronous machinefield winding, the brushless circuit components (di-odes, thyristors, etc.) should be short-circuited (notgrounded) during the test.

    High-potential tests should be successively appliedbetween each winding or electric circuit under testand the frame (or core) of the machine. All otherwindings or electric circuits not under test shouldbe connected to the frame (or core).

    Capacitors of capacitor-type motors must be leftconnected to the winding in the normal manner formachine operation (running or starting).

    Electrical machines may be tested using AC or DChigh-potential test equipment. A DC instead of anAC voltage may be used for high-potential tests. Insuch cases, the DC test voltage should be 1.7 timesthe specified AC voltage. A failure under test can beless damaging to the winding if a DC voltage is used.

    Section 4, Page 2

  • EASA AR100-2006 Recommended Practice - Rev. May 2006

    16

    Multiply the AC test voltage by 1.7 to obtain theequivalent DC test voltage.

    AC high-potential testing should be performed byapplying specified voltage at 50-60 Hz continuouslyfor one minute.

    DC high-potential testing should be performed byapplying specified voltage for a duration of oneminute after test voltage is reached. The DC poten-tial should be increased gradually to the desired testvoltage in order to limit the charging current.

    Caution: After completion of a DC high-potentialtest, the winding must be grounded to the frame (orcore) until the charge has decayed to zero. (Refer-ences: IEEE Stds. 4 and 95; and NEMA Stds. MG 1,3.1.1.)

    4.4.1 Windings

    4.4.1.1 New WindingsHigh-potential tests should be applied as speci-

    fied in Table 4-1 for AC voltage and Table 4-2 for DCvoltage. To avoid excessive stressing of the insula-tion, repeated application of the high-potential testvoltage is not recommended. Immediately after re-wind, when equipment is installed or assembled anda high-potential test of the entire assembly is re-quired, it is recommended that the test voltage notexceed 85 percent of the original test voltage. Thetests should be applied once only at the specifiedvoltage. (Reference: NEMA Stds. MG 1, 12.3).4.4.1.2 Reconditioned Windings

    High-potential tests for reconditioned windingsshould be performed at 65% of the new winding testvalue.4.4.1.3 Windings Not Reconditioned

    Machines with windings not reconditioned shouldhave an insulation resistance test instead of a high-potential test.4.4.2 Accessories

    4.4.2.1 New AccessoriesAccessories such as surge capacitors, lightning

    arresters, current transformers, etc., which haveleads connected to the machine terminals should bedisconnected during the test, with the leads con-nected together and to the frame or core. Theseaccessories should have been subjected to the high-potential test applicable to the class of machine attheir point of manufacture. Capacitors of capacitor-type motors must be left connected to the windingin the normal manner for machine operation (run-ning or starting).

    Component devices and their circuits, such asspace heaters and temperature sensing devices in

    contact with the winding (thermostats, thermo-couples, thermistors, resistance temperaturedetectors, etc.), connected other than in the line cir-cuit, should be connected to the frame or core duringmachine winding high-potential tests. Each of thesecomponent device circuits, with leads connected to-gether, should then be tested by applying a voltagebetween the circuit and the frame or core. The high-potential tests should be applied as specified in Table4-3 for AC voltage and Table 4-4 for DC voltage.During each device circuit test, all other machinewindings and components should be connected to-gether and to the frame or core. (Reference: NEMAStds. MG 1, 3.1.8).

    4.4.2.2 Accessories of Machines withReconditioned Windings

    The high-potential test for accessory circuits of re-conditioned machines should be performed at 65%of the new device test value.

    4.4.2.3 Accessories of Machines withWindings Not Reconditioned

    Accessory circuits of machines which have not hadtheir windings reconditioned should have an insu-lation resistance test instead of a high-potential test.

    4.5 NO-LOAD TESTS

    4.5.1 SpeedFor AC motors, no-load running tests should be

    made at rated voltage and rated frequency. Thespeed should be measured and compared with name-plate speed.

    Shunt-wound and compound-wound DC motorsshould be run with rated voltage applied to the ar-mature, and rated current applied to the shunt field.The speed should be measured and compared withnameplate speed.

    Series-wound motors should be separately excitedwhen tested due to danger of run-away.

    DC generators should be driven at rated speedwith rated current applied to the shunt field. Theoutput voltage should be measured and comparedwith rated voltage.

    4.5.2 CurrentNo-load current should be compared with full-load

    current.

    4.5.3 Cooling SystemThe cooling system should be verified as being

    operational.

    4.5.4 Sound LevelTests may be made for sound level as an indica-

    tion of fault or as an irritation to those in the

    Section 4, Page 3

    17

    machine ambient (Reference: NEMA Stds. MG 1, 9,12.81 and 20.50).

    4.5.5 Bearing TemperatureAmbient and bearing housing temperatures may

    be measured periodically until temperatures are sta-bilized.4.5.6 Vibration Tests

    The vibration tests should be in accordance withNEMA Stds. MG 1, 7 for standard machines, as ar-ranged with the customer, or as necessary to checkthe operating characteristics of the machine. Whenthere are special requirements, i.e., lower than stan-dard levels of vibration for a machine, NEMA Stds.MG 1, 7 for special machines is recommended.

    The unfiltered vibration limits for resilientlymounted standard machines (having no special vi-bration requirements), based on rotational speed,are shown in Table 4-5. Vibration levels for speedsabove 1200 rpm are based on the peak velocity of0.15 inch per second (3.8 mm/s). Vibration levels forspeeds below about 1200 rpm are based on the peakvelocity equivalent of 0.0025 inch (0.0635 mm) peak-to-peak displacement. For machines with rigidmounting, multiply the limiting values by 0.8.

    Note: International standards specify vibrationvelocity as rms in mm/s. To obtain an approximatemetric rms equivalent, multiply the peak vibrationin in/s by 18 (Reference: NEMA Stds. MG 1, 7.8).

    4.6 PERFORMANCE TESTSFull-load tests may be made as arranged with the

    customer or as necessary to check the operating char-acteristics of the machine (References: IEEE Stds.112 and 115 and NEMA Stds. MG-1).

    4.7 INSTRUMENT CALIBRATIONEach instrument required for test results should

    be calibrated at least annually against standardstraceable to the National Institute of Standards andTechnology (NIST) or equivalent standards labora-tories (References: ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 andISO 10012).

    Each instrument should bear record of recent cali-bration and, if extreme importance is attached tothe test results, the instrument should be calibratedimmediately before and after the completion of thetest procedure.

    Units under test should be secured to prevent roll-ing or tipping during testing.

    A.4 TEST PANELS

    A.4.1 ConstructionConstruction should be of the “dead front” type.

    Instantaneous over-current trips or fuses shouldlimit fault currents in the main power supply to thepanel capacity.

    A.4.2 VoltagesOutput voltages should be clearly marked. Volt-

    ages above 600V should require special selectionprocedures to prevent inadvertent application.

    A.4.3 Warning LightsA warning light should indicate when the panel is

    energized. An additional warning light should indi-cate when power leads to a unit under test areenergized.A.4.4 Disconnect

    A means for disconnecting the lines to the panelshould be located within sight from the test panel.A.4.5 Safety Switch

    An emergency hand or foot operated switch orpush button to de-energize the power source shouldbe located in the test area. A remote emergency

    A.1 PERSONAL SAFETY

    A.1.1 TrainingEmployees should be trained in safe operation of

    all electrical equipment within their responsibility.Training should be provided by use of relevant equip-ment operational manuals, hands-on training and/or training video tapes. Employees should be in-formed of the relevant safety rules, and employersshould enforce compliance.

    A.1.2 ClothingClothing should be suitable for the work to be per-

    formed. Flame-retardant material is recommended.The wearing of exposed jewelry should be avoided.Safety glasses should be worn at all times.

    A.1.3 SupervisionEmployees should work under the direction of an

    experienced and qualified person within the testarea. At least two persons should be within the testarea at all times.

    A.1.4 First AidPersonnel should be trained in the procedure for

    securing emergency medical aid.

    A.2 TEST AREA

    A.2.1 EnclosureTest area should be enclosed with a fence or col-

    ored rope—preferably yellow. Red or yellow strobelights may be placed at test corner areas for addi-tional warning.

    A.2.2 GatesWhen a metallic fence or cage is used, it should be

    grounded. Gates provided for entry of equipment andpersonnel should be equipped with interlocks sopower to test area is interrupted if gate is opened.

    A.2.3 SignsSigns should be posted concerning the electrical

    hazards, warning unauthorized personnel to stay outof the test area.

    A.2.4 LightingTest areas should be well illuminated.

    A.2.5 Safety EquipmentFire extinguishers and first aid equipment should

    be readily available and personnel should be trainedin their use. Operating personnel should stand on
