Inspection of Large Synchronous Machines: Checklists, Failure Identification, and Troubleshooting / Edition 1

by Isidor Kerszenbaum

Overview

Gain an understanding of the inspection of large synchronous machines, generators, condensers, and motors! This text describes each component of the machine, operational functions, typical design features, and tell-tale signs that indicate each mode of failure. Compact with photos, graphs, commonly-used inspection forms, along with extensive references for each topic, INSPECTION OF LARGE SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES is an excellent tool for operators, inspectors, and student engineers.

Editorial Reviews

For generators, condensers, motors, and similar machines, explains the function of most components, their mode of failure, failure inspection, and solution tips. Among the inspection issues discussed are the theory of operation, background developments, inspection approaches and procedures, failure mechanisms, and major electrical and mechanical tests. For practicing or student engineers and inspectors. Highly illustrated. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
