Why Test Stator Cores?
Elevated "Eddy Currents" create hot spots which in effect can cause further and unpredictable
deterioration to the core lamination insulation or to the actual core itself (core melting).
Undetected and unchecked, this can lead to stator winding insulation damage, forcing
the machine to be out of service.
EL CID is a cost effective maintenance tool for verifying stator core
lamination integrity.
EL CID testing is able to:
Identify existing damage and localizing it
Reduce time of planned or forced outage
Advantages of EL CID Testing
Very small excitation power demand ~ 4%
Simple and easy setup
Elimination of further damage
Reduction in safety hazards
