ELCID EVOLUTION – ELECTROMAGNETIC CORE IMPERFECTION DETECTION

O ine Testing of Stator Core Inter-Laminar Insulation

Product Overview
The ELCID is the leading instrument for Electromagnetic Core Imperfection Detection to identify inter-laminar insulation breakdown within a stator core.

Works with the Following Assets

Turbine Generator (https://irispower.com/asset/turbo-generator-monitoring/)
Hydro Generator (https://irispower.com/asset/hydro-generator-monitoring/)
Motor (https://irispower.com/asset/motor-monitoring/)

Assists with the Following Type of Monitoring

O ine Testing (https://irispower.com/monitoring/o ine-testing/)

Stator cores are made of thin laminations of magnetic steel separated by insulation to prevent axial currents. If lamination shorts occur, the high temperatures
that result can burn stator coil insulation and even lead to melting of stator cores.

Electromagnetic Core Imperfection Detection (EL CID) testing is accepted world-wide for reliable and safe detection of stator core inter-laminar insulation
faults.

The only alternative to the Iris Power EL CID Evolution test is the Ring Flux (full ux) test which requires large power supplies, considerable manpower, and
expensive infrared viewing cameras.

Product Details

Features
Only one technician is needed to perform the ELCID
Safe for core and operator, unlike Ring Flux test which is potentially damaging to the uncooled core
Iris Power EL CID Evolution instrument uses an excitation kit to operate the test at only 4% of normal operating ux.
Measurement results are digitally store in the PC for analysis and report generation, and faults can be precisely located in the core.
