Asset management and energy ­efficiency toolkit

September 2018 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Routine check-up and early diagnosis of equipment prevents catastrophic failures and helps to reduce energy consumption and operating costs. The asset management toolkit (AMT) supplied by CIS Industrial Services uses three-phase voltage and current signals to diagnose existing electrical and mechanical problems.

How it works

AMT is equipped with a computer, fully functional AES software, current transformers and cables. It is connected to motor cables using clamp-on ­current sensors and voltage cables. It collects data from motor driven systems and also has the ability to measure equipment driven by the motor, for example a gearbox, and saves it to an SQL database. At the end of the testing period, the toolkit generates a condition assessment report, which indicates existing faults of the system, time to failure information, recommended corrective actions and effect of these faults on energy efficiency.

Taking corrective action for existing equipment faults will eliminate unplanned downtime, improve energy efficiency, reduce maintenance costs and extend equipment lifetime. It has been estimated that operations and maintenance programmes targeting energy efficiency, can save up to 20% on energy bills without a significant capital investment. From small to large sites, these savings can be achieved with minimal cash outlays.

Applications

AMT can be used in most industrial sectors in motor-driven applications, including compressors, fans, pumps, conveyors and generators. The compact kit is supplied in a protective dust and waterproof case.
