PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE:
Regular testing can identify developing faults before a failure occurs. All measurement data can be trended for predictive maintenance condition monitoring. By making proactive repairs and eliminating unscheduled down- time, plant productivity is greatly improved.
EMC-38A is a Digital portable diagnostic tool for Electrical Engineer and is used for quick on - site checks of electric motor and other three - phase machines.
A reduction in machine performance, such as inefficient operation or tripping of overloads, may indicate mechanical or electrical faults. If the fault is electrical the EMC-38A will immediately defect it, without having to dismantle the equipment. The instrument has three separate operating modes to measure different types of faults like fully insulation, open circuits / loose connections, short circuits, Ground faults and rotor defects. Motor insulation is tested with a high voltage of 500V & 1000V DC supplied by the instruments
- Motor Checker EMC-38A finds the faults you can't see with any other hand held instrument
- Turn -to-turn, coil-to-coil and phase-to-phase faults
- Open phase
- Burned or cont minated winding
- Poor Connections
- Broken / Cracked rotor bars
- Grounded windings
- Cable faults.
