Technical
Tip of the Month:
Benefits
of Laser Alignment
Improper machine
alignment will affect production by causing premature failure.
Laser alignment, performed by a properly trained technician,
provides a more accurate alignment than feeler gauges or dial
indicators, in less time. A Schulz technician can provide
printouts and live visual displays detailing specifications and
tolerances for alignment. The result...SAVINGS.

Tip of the Month
Is your
glass half full? Should it be?
When
checking or adjusting oil level, it
is recommended to do so while the motor is not running and utilize
the standing oil level line of the sight glass. Be aware of the
relationship between the stand pipe and your standing oil level
when adding oil to your machine. Pictured below is a sight
glass which indicates both the standing oil level and running oil
level. Should you have any questions, feel free to call Schulz
Electric Company at 800-826-1425.

Digital
EL CID Tester Has Arrived!
Schulz Electric Company's
Maine locations, Maine Industrial Repair Services and Stultz
Electric Motor & Controls, are excited to announce the arrival
of a new digital EL CID tester . We know the importance you, our
valued customers, have put on this piece of equipment, and we are
happy to be able to provide this state of the art service to you.
A
Little History
The electromagnetic core lamination fault detection technique, now
universally known as EL CID, was originally developed around 1980
by the then Central Electricity Generating Board (CEBG) in the UK,
to solve certain test requirements on turbo generators.
Since that time the technique has been used increasingly
worldwide on generators and large motors.
The other and long established method of testing the
integrity of magnetic core laminations is by means of a high power
loop or rated flux test, often referred to as a Hugh Flux Ring
Test, carried out with the rotor of the generator removed.
The EL CID test uses a
similar excitation winding but at a very low flux level, typically
4% of rated flux. The
heat produced by faults is negligible and not detectable, but the
fault current is detectable by the electromagnetic means and it is
this fault current, when scaled up to the appropriate rated flux
level, which would give rise to the local generation of heat and
associated hot spots.

Advantages of EL CID:
- Low
excitation power- 4%
- Fast!
Easy to set up
- Low
manpower requirements
- Significant
reduction in safety hazards
- Portability
- Instant
interpretation of test results
- Permanent
data storage
- Minimal
risk of further damage
- Ability
to re-test during maintenance cycle
