Test procedures

Performing an example test

The following section walks you through an example setup of a motor being tested for the first time.

• First, you will create a Motor ID that uniquely identifies the motor being tested.

• Next, a Test ID must be created for the motor and assigned to the Motor ID.

• Then tests will be run and the results reviewed.

• Finally, reports will be printed.

Creating a Motor ID

1) Often times, when a new motor is being added to the database, a similar motor already exists. In such cases, you can select the similar motor using the Explore tab.

2) From the Data tab— Nameplate view, the Motor ID information is displayed for the selected motor. As the view name suggests, the information presented here comes directly from the motor’s nameplate. The information presented was entered by a user when the original Motor ID was created.

3) When starting with information from a similar motor, you can click on the Add button to clear the Motor ID and SN (serial number) fields. Then, you can simply enter the a new unique Motor ID and serial number for the new motor, provided that the existing information matches the values on the new motor’s nameplate. If other nameplate information for the motor is available, you can add it as well.

4) If you are creating a Motor ID for a motor that does not have a similar motor already in the system, select a Motor ID with the same operating voltage just to start the process, then click on the Clear button to clear the nameplate form. Then, you will provide a new Motor ID along with all information found on the nameplate.

5) Use the Tab and Shift/Tab keys to easily move from field to field.

NOTE

In most cases, only the Motor ID, Location, and Building fields are required.

However, adding all available information from the nameplate has proven valuable for many applications including report generation, internal and external troubleshooting, and support.

If the Enable Voltage Class feature has been enabled, the Volts Oper (operating voltage) field will also be required. If a voltage class for your motor is not available in the Volts Oper list provided, you can create a new motor voltage class as described at the end of this chapter.

Oftentimes, more data fields available than the information provided on the nameplate. Fill in only those fields that have corresponding information on the nameplate.

6) The Reset button restores the previous motor’s information to the form.

7) Ensure that the proper radio button is selected for Winding Config . This value will be used by the software during test setup.

Test procedures

8) Examine the example below to see how the Nameplate view appears when a new

Motor ID is created.

Figure 83. Example Data tab Nameplate view of new Motor ID.

9) After all data is entered, click on the Save button to add the new Motor ID to the database.

10) After the Save button is clicked, the Select Test ID dialog box appears.

Figure 84. Test ID.

11) Assign a Test ID to the newly-created motor. In this example, we selected the 480V w/Rotor HiPot.

12) Click on the OK button. The new Motor ID is now added to the Motor Tree .
