Shaft Voltage Current Monitoring System For Early Warning And Problem Detection
US Patent:
6460013, Oct 1, 2002
Filed:
May 3, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/563819
Inventors:
Paul I. Nippes - Middletown NJ 07748
International Classification:
G06F 1130
US Classification:
702183, 702 58
Abstract:
A rotating machinery monitor provides a warning that is indicative of a developing problem with the rotating machinery. The rotating machinery monitor has at least one current sensor for detecting shaft grounding current in the rotating machinery, at least one voltage sensor for detecting shaft voltage in the rotating machinery, a change detector for determining rate of change in the shaft grounding current and a rate of change in the shaft voltage, and an evaluation system for producing a warning as a function of the change in the shaft grounding current, the rate of change in the shaft voltage, the shaft grounding current and the shaft voltage.
Early Warning And Problem Detection In Rotating Machinery By Monitoring Shaft Voltage And/Or Grounding Current
US Patent:
7034706, Apr 25, 2006
Filed:
Dec 31, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/750300
Inventors:
Paul I. Nippes - Middletown NJ, US
International Classification:
G08B 21/00
US Classification:
340648, 340635
Abstract:
A rotating machinery monitor provides a warning that is indicative of a developing problem with the rotating machinery. The rotating machinery monitor has at least one current sensor for detecting shaft grounding current and/or at least one voltage sensor for detecting shaft voltage in the rotating machinery; a monitoring device for monitoring real-time shaft grounding current values and/or real-time shaft voltage values over time; a detector for determining the change and/or determining the rate of change, in the shaft grounding current and/or in the shaft voltage; an evaluation system for producing a warning as a function of the change and/or rate of change, in the shaft grounding current and/or the shaft voltage wherein the warning generated is indicative of a developing problem with the rotating machinery.
