Motor Electrical Predictive Maintenance & Testing Vol. 3

About this title

Describes seven technologies for motor electrical predictive condition monitoring, almost all of which have been developed and applied since about 1990. A chapter is devoted to using up to 15 predictive technologies to help refine condition assessments, since no single technology can detect all failure modes in motors.

Geoff Generalovic is a senior maintenance electrician with 38 years heavy industry experience, the last 17 as a company- wide Predictive Maintenance practitioner at ArcelorMittleDofasco Inc., in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He started at Dofasco as a general repair electrician in 1973 working in different business units. In 1993 was assigned to a newly formed Process Maintenance Team (PMT) in the company’s Hot Strip Rolling Mill business unit. Eventually, he moved from the PMT to the Predictive Maintenance (PdM) group.

Today Geoff is part of the company’s central PdM team and is using his skills plant- wide in ten (10) different production business units. Geoff is also an experienced trainer, providing infrared courses under FLIR sponsorship in Canada that are open to the public. He is involved with the Hamilton, Ontario Chapter of the Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (SMRP)

He holds a Level III infrared thermography certification, using Agema and FLIR infrared cameras. He has used PdMA’s off-line motor testers for 17 years and combined on-line/off-line (MCEmax) units since its introduction in the late 1990’s. He is certified in its use. He also routinely uses AREVA’s EMPATH on-line motor circuit tester. Geoff has a Level I Ultrasonics certification and has had basic vibration training. As part of his training he has presented professional papers at various maintenance and reliability conferences sponsored by The Snell Group, the Association for Iron and Steel Technology, P/PM Technology Magazine, PdMA Corporation, and ReliabilityWeb.com. Participation as co-author of “Motor Electrical Predictive Maintenance and Testing” text is his first attempt at writing a book.
