Title: PdMA Testing as Reliability Tool

Date 6-3-11

HistoricaIIy - Four generaI strategies for Maintenance
1. Reactive
2. Preventive
3. Predictive
4. ReIiabiIity Centered
How much savings if you move from Reactive to ReIiabiIity Centered?

BACKGROUND
2000 IndividuaI properties started impIementing portions of RC maintenance
2006 ReIiabiIity testing combined under one group
2008 Our pIanners requested a tooI to heIp evaIuate our eIectricaI equipment
2009 Our Asset Management group, aIong with our site pIanners evaIuated
avaiIabIe test equipment and seIected PdMA equipment for initiaI testing
2010 Partnered with FIanders to test our entire fIeet of dragIines and shoveIs
2011 - ResuIts

What tests do we perform on electric motors?
1. Resistance to Ground
2. DA or Dielectric Absorption
3. P or Polarization ndex
4. Capacitance to Ground
5. Circuit Resistance
6. Circuit nductance
