  • Patent number: 11885848
    Abstract: A device for assessing remaining life of a rotating electrical machine includes: a data acquisition unit configured to acquire actual running performance data and electrical data about the rotating electrical machine to be assessed; an index value calculation unit configured to calculate a first index value to a third index value based on the acquired data, and to calculate, as a fourth index value, an estimation value of a residual withstand voltage value of the rotating electrical machine by performing analysis that uses an MT method on each piece of the electrical data; and an insulation deterioration estimation unit configured to assess the remaining life of the rotating electrical machine by estimating the remaining life of the rotating electrical machine with use of four index values from the first index value to the fourth index value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 15, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2024
    Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION

  • Patent number: 11353377
    Abstract: In a wedge looseness diagnosis which is performed by striking wedges of a rotary electric machine, a variation of a wave form of a strike sound is reduced with respect to a variation of an amount of looseness of the wedges, and it is difficult that a slight difference of the amount of the looseness of the wedges is discriminated, so that the wedges are struck by a strike portion in a state where the wedges are pressed by a pressure portion which presses the wedges, and a strike sound at a high frequency is reduced, whereby an amount of a variation of magnitude of the strike sound is enlarged with respect to a valuation of the amount of the looseness of the wedges, and the amount of the looseness of the wedges is judged in accordance with the strike sound which is obtained by a strike sound measuring portion.
