In some cases it may be recommended to measure the vibration also in the axial direction. When recording the results of the measurements, record the specific locations and directions with the actual values.
  • Page 47: The Tightness Of Fastenings

    7.4.4 The tightness of fastenings The tightness of all fastenings should be verified regularly. Special focus should be given to fixing and the rotor parts, which must remain correctly tightened at all times. Loose fastening in these parts can lead to sudden and severe damage to the entire machine.

  • Page 55 NOTE: Windings should be earthed briefly immediately after measurement in order to avoid risk of electric shock. Conversion of measured insulation resistance values In order to be able to compare measured insulation resistance values, the values are stated at 40 °C. The actual measured value is therefore converted to a corresponding 40 °C value with the help of the following diagram (see Figure 7-2.
  • Page 56 NOTE: The insulation resistance indicated in the test report is normally considerably higher than the values measured on site. Minimum values for insulation resistance The following criteria apply to windings in a normal condition. Generally, the insulation resistance values for dry windings should exceed the minimum values significantly.
