The EL CID Evolution provides offline testing of inter-laminar insulation breakdown within a stator core. The only alternative to the Iris Power EL CID Evolution test is the Ring Flux (full flux) test. The Ring Flux test requires large power supplies, considerable manpower, and expensive infrared viewing cameras.
Features
Only one technician is needed to perform the test.
Typical labor is for a major turbogenerator 8 to 10 manhours for EL CID test.
Rapid setup to retest after any repair ensures quick turnaround.
Minimize intrusive repairs by instantly verifying the results.
Safe for core and operator, unlike Ring Flux test which is potentially damaging to the uncooled core
Faster test scanning (up to 120 mm/sec at 60 Hz)
Easier excitation calculations
Simpler testing with dual Chattocks (detection coils)
User-friendly LCD display to guide user operation
Can combine step-iron data with main core traces
Easily identifies “hot spots” via color map display
Fully compatible with data from earlier versions
Advantages
Tests are repeatable
Immediate test results are available for local analysis and email
Determines if defects are on the surface, sub-surface, or under conductors
Tests with or without windings
More sensitive in detecting buried faults
Partial retests of core are possible with ability to merge results to obtain a complete picture of the core condition
Trending of previous results
Excellent quality assurance test
