Fault Detection In Components Of Synchronous Motors With Partial Discharge Monitoring Excerpt from”Fault Detection In Components Of Synchronous Motors Through Online Partial Discharge Measurements”, G. Castro, Petrobras Company: Petrobras, Brazil Machine Description: Synchronous Gas Compressor Motor, 3 MW, 13.8 kV, 4 salient poles, Manufactured in 2002 Failure Mechanism Identification Through Condition Based Monitoring: Petrobras installed online Partial Discharge (PD) Monitoring in 2015 on the synchronous gas compressor given the importance and operational time of the machine in 2015. The motor was equipped with 80 pF epoxy mica capacitive couplers and the data was collected with a portable partial discharge analyzer. The data collected was referenced against the manufacturer partial dis
