  • AC hipot testing a 6.6 KV rated, 3 Phase AC electric motor to failure. Final fail was on the lead cables going into the frame at about 25 to 30 KV AC. Same location as a previous spark that occurred while DC testing at 48 to 52 KV DC.

    Is it normal to see these sparks in Hipot test perticularly at 2U+1KV? I have seen the sparks during hipot test at 23KV, but not for lesser voltage.

    Why doesn't it has the rotor? This looks like it was eating lots of AMPS!
    The electricity looks like it was added in a video editor but it's not, that is amazing.

      We have a High Voltage AC Hipot tester, which is pretty much just a large transformer with a couple variac transformers in line to adjust the voltage from 0 upward as the dial on the front is turned. Its a pretty old unit, but works quite well.

      @TheAbaker87 3 роки тому +4

      AC HiPot is an inherently destructive test (except when used on a new rewind in which case it is "proof testing"). They were basically figuring out at what conditions (and at what location) the stator would fail as a way to determine the general health of their remaining motors.

    • @realvanman
      @realvanman 5 років тому +3

      The term armature actually refers to the part of the machine in which power conversion takes place. The term "stator" has erroneously caught on as interchangeable. Yes, this is a stator, but it is also the armature.

    • @oneselmo
      @oneselmo 3 роки тому +1

      Robert Nitschke This is part of an industrial motor. The insulation coating of the wires is being tested to destruction for shits and giggles before rewinding. When an electrician tests a motor in place, he uses a "merger" to put a high voltage on these windings without any amperage. That tells him the condition of the insulation. Part of preventative maintenance because a scheduled shutdown to replace a motor is way less expensive than a surprise breakdown.

      if you take the rotor out and power it to full power, the lack of magnetic load can boost the inductive power factor too high and cause a high voltage to build up inside the windings and destroy the insulation.
