The Megger Baker ADX automated static motor analyser is an innovative and transformational leap forward for motor testing in today’s demanding workplaces. It offers a comprehensive set of tests for assessing the health of electric motors, for monitoring and analysing trends in motor condition, and for locating faults.The portable ADX analysers provide, depending on the model, high voltage tests for surge, turn-to-turn partial discharge, insulation resistance, polarisation index, DC hi-pot and step voltage tests, as well as low voltage tests for winding resistance, inductance, and capacitance. A single set of plug-in high voltage Kelvin test leads means there is no need to change leads between tests.
The Baker AWA-IV static motor analyser automatically performs repeatable, user-programmable tests to thoroughly assess the strength of a motor’s insulation and circuit. In fact, it is the only high voltage test instrument that you can program to perform a specific set of insulation tests prior to being in the field, and then use as programmed in the field. The AWA-IV is also used to assure quality of motor rebuilds or new production motors before they are placed into service.
The Baker DX static motor analyser gives you confidence that a motor is correctly wound and insulated before it’s deployed in the field. In an industrial setting, the consequential cost of failure or unplanned downtime of critical rotating machinery can be significant. The Baker DX series can apply a wide set of off-line electrical tests to assess the condition of motors and coils.
The Baker EXP4000 dynamic motor analyser is a powerful tool, designed for site use to analyse the motor running under its normal load. It tracks multiple data types to identify trends that indicate potential problems. Voltage and current are measured and a series of parameters are then calculated, including power quality, rotor bar condition, % load, % operating efficiency, average torque value, torque ripple showing variation within process, monitoring of start-up transients (volts, current and torque), and much more.
