A fully expanded new edition documenting the significant improvements that have been made to the tests and monitors of electrical insulation systems

Electrical Insulation for Rotating Machines: Design, Evaluation, Aging, Testing, and Repair, Second Edition covers all aspects in the design, deterioration, testing, and repair of the electrical insulation used in motors and generators of all ratings greater than fractional horsepower size. It discusses both rotor and stator windings; gives a historical overview of machine insulation design; and describes the materials and manufacturing methods of the rotor and stator winding insulation systems in current use (while covering systems made over fifty years ago). It covers how to select the insulation systems for use in new machines, and explains over thirty different rotor and stator winding failure processes, including the methods to repair, or least slow down, each process. Finally, it reviews the theoretical basis, practical application, and interpretation of forty different tests and monitors that are used to assess winding insulation condition, thereby helping machine users avoid unnecessary machine failures and reduce maintenance costs.

Electrical Insulation for Rotating Machines:

  • Documents the large array of machine electrical failure mechanisms, repair methods, and test techniques that are currently available.
  • Educates owners of machines as well as repair shops on the different failure processes and shows them how to fix or otherwise ameliorate them.
  • Offers chapters on testing, monitoring, and maintenance strategies that assist in educating machine users and repair shops on the tests needed for specific situations and how to minimize motor and generator maintenance costs.
  • Captures the state of both the present and past “art” in rotating machine insulation system design and manufacture, which helps designers learn from the knowledge acquired by previous generations.

An ideal read for researchers, developers, and manufacturers of electrical insulating materials for machines, Electrical Insulation for Rotating Machines will also benefit designers of motors and generators who must select and apply electrical insulation in machines.

    I have met Dr. Greg Stone some time in early 2015 for course that he conducted about rotary equipment's OLCMs, and after reading this book, I cant stop wondering how this gentleman is and has been one of the pioneers for this science.. if you are interested in generators or motors OLCMs then you don't need to look anywhere else, this all what you need.

    Though this book addresses kilowatt-plus machines, the information may be, accordingly, applied to smaller scenarios. The wide range of topics have been updated with current standards, and are presented with detailed, but concise information, while an abundance of photos, sharp illustrations, and tables that provide valuable feedback. References are conveniently listed at the end of each chapter, making it simple to seek further information specific to your own applications.

    This is an excellent resource for anyone dealing with machine insulation, and for those who were pleased with the prior edition, now is a great time to update your literature.

    Having become increasingly involved with generator plants, this reference proves quite useful. It is well written, well referenced, and I find the diagrams, pictures, and schematics appropriate. There is enough white space to make it readable and the information is fairly easy to find. Recommended for those in the industry.

    This is an invaluable reference for instructors, test and reliability engineers, personnel engaged in rotating machine repair and teams engaged in root cause failure analysis. In particular the test methods used to evaluate insulation system materials for aging, and various types of stresses and the historical development of insulation materials is of value in gaining insight into and understanding of how some of the graphs found in IEEE, IEC, NEMA and other standards documents were developed and in particular what their limitations are. Descriptions of failure mechanisms strengthened my knowledge in this area. There are comprehensive summaries and brief descriptions of many on-line and off-line tests and inspections that are helpful in evaluating and monitoring conditions of rotating machines. However, these do not include the the most recent and increasingly popular motor circuit analysis methods nor make any mention of the correlation between on-line and off-line tests that have proven very useful to motor owners in gaining early warning of the onset of problems, which if not attended to, will lead to insulation system failures. Otherwise I believe this text should be in the library of every organization that has substantial numbers of rotating machines in their care.

    It is pretty difficult to find good references and papers regarding the electrical insulation of generators and motors. This book is a "must have" for those who works with large electrical rotating machines, such as hydro power generators (in my case). Its fullfill a lack of literature information regarding the design, evaluation, tests and repair of electrical insulation (specially for stator bars and coils). Greg Stone is a well known expert of this matter, and he describes in his book almost everything about this complex subject. Before the release of this work, such kind of information could be find only in technical papers or even only in the standars from IEEE or IEC. Highly recommended for those who want to deeply understand the wonderfull world of the electrical insulation.
