Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) monitoring may seem like a magic trick. However, the system simply detects conditions associated with EM emissions within the generator, isophase bus, and transformers. Subject matter experts have extensively gathered data over the last 40 years. Through their research and testing they have been able to detect patterns to determine which data sets and waveforms correspond to which failure modes.

The InsightCM platform doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Our subject matter expert answers frequently asked questions while walking through best practices to monitor plant assets. Explore how to immediately detect faults and recognize potential failures before they occur.

Explore the latest techniques and technologies to trend and monitor usable brush length and vibration. Our expert speakers will present use cases from the field, providing real-world examples of how these techniques have been successfully applied. You’ll learn about the benefits of Brush Condition Monitoring, including early detection of potential issues and improved equipment performance.

Explore real-world case studies to discover how Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) uses voltage and current signals to identify motor faults like rotor bar damage, misalignment, eccentricity, mechanical looseness, and bearing problems. Learn how MCSA continuous monitoring leverages new or existing equipment to simplify installation and minimize sensing costs.

Explore industry best practices for Equipment Reliability and Asset Management. These programs help process, integrate, and coordinate a broad range of activities into one process so plant personnel may establish optimal preventive-maintenance tasks. Personnel are able to make informed decisions pertaining to operations, risk management, and equipment adjustments based on equipment health and maintenance feedback.

Discover InsightCM, an online asset-monitoring software for subject matter experts and maintenance professionals who need:

• Full access to waveform data
• Multiple sensor technology inputs

Generator Field Monitoring combines Premium Shaft Ground Monitoring (SGM) and Rotor Flux Monitoring (RFM) systems into one powerful controller. Plant personnel can achieve the benefits of both systems for better trend analysis and easier system management. Explore how Generator Field Monitoring can allow plants to detect potential failures early and reduce operation expenses.

Common OEM brush problems include brush restrictions & carbon deposits, arcing, brush box erosion, brush chatter & chipped brushes, and photographing. Learn how online truing cleans-up collector rings at speed and load without costly downtime and explore how the integration of Cutsforth EASYchange® Brush Holders and Brush Condition Monitoring reduces brush failure while monitoring vibration and usable brush length.

Condition-based monitoring programs shouldn’t just be the future of the power generation industry, they should be implemented today. These programs reduce costs; reduction in failure risk, maintenance costs, and manpower costs are all achievable using technology that has steadily decreased in cost over time.
