European CE mark for the Bently Nevada LLC 4000 Series Air Gap Sensor System In this Document

Is a list of the 4000 Series Air Gap Sensor Assemblies that have the CE mark, applicable standards used for certification, and installation instructions required for compliance.

TCF through TUV Rheinland of North America

A Technical Construction File has been prepared through TUV Rheinland of North America (TUV Rheinland File Number: 30461397.001). The Certificate of Compliance is for Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC Directive). The applicable Generic Norms are: EN61000-6-2 and EN61000-6-4.

Installation Instructions

These instructions are an addition to the Installation Instructions in Section 2.

The 4000 Series Air Gap Sensor System due to its inherent sensitivity is susceptible to EMI at levels EN61000-6-2. Special EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) protection measures may be necessary to achieve reliable measurements. Each unique installation must be considered.

Capacitive Probes All probes must be mounted in an EMI shielded environment (i.e. typically a machine casing ⑥). All probe cables ② and extension cables, running from the point exiting the machine ⑥ to the EMI shielded enclosure (such as the Proximitor® Sensor Housing ④), must be inside metal conduit ⑤ (or equivalent) with the conduit grounded at the machine⑥ and the enclosure④.

Field Wiring All field wiring ③, from the Proximitor® Sensor enclosure ④ to a receiving unit (i.e. 3500/46 monitor), must be shielded from EMI energy. Acceptable EMI shielding includes solid metal conduit or multi-conductor cable with both a foil and braid shield.

EMI Shielded Enclosures and EMI Shield Grounding Enclosures made of metal typically provide EMI shielding. Covers should be electrically connected to the enclosure or have overlap with the sides of the enclosure, both are preferable. Bently Nevada Proximitor®

iv

Sensor Housings and Probe Housings, which are made of metal, provide adequate EMI shielding.

Grounding EMI shields ⑦ at the point of entrance to the Proximitor® Sensor enclosure ④ and any subsequent junction enclosure is required. The shield must be maintained around the wiring as it is grounded to the enclosure.

Exposure of the systems when the EMI shielding is removed (i.e. enclosure cover) will increase EMI susceptibility.

Section 1 — System Description

1. System Description 1.1 Sensor System

The 4000 Series Air Gap Sensor System comprises the Air Gap 20 mm and the Air Gap 50 mm consisting of:

• a 4000 Air Gap Probe

• a 4000 extension cable

• a 4000 Proximitor® Sensor

Bently Nevada’s Air Gap monitoring system provides monitoring and diagnostic capability for all new and existing hydro generators and motor/generators. Air gap monitoring is fully integrated with the 3500/System 1™ platform and utilizes the 3500/46M Hydro Monitor.

Air gap is a measure of the distance between rotor and stator in the hydro generator. Monitoring of air gap is critically important because both the stator and the rotor on hydro machines can be quite flexible and their shape and location are affected by operating centrifugal, thermal, and magnetic forces. Off- center or out-of-round conditions will at least reduce operating efficiency and, in more severe cases, can lead to damage from magnetically induced heating or a rotor to stator rub.

Air gap monitoring utilizes multiple specially designed capacitive proximity probes that are mounted on the inner bore of the generator stator in one or more planes. Measurements are made from the stator bore to each rotor pole as the rotor turns. Minimum air gap dimension and location along with rotor shape are directly measured during unit operation. Stator shape is calculated utilizing the multiple air gap probes. The air gap monitoring system provides operations and maintenance personnel with early warning of impending problems with shape and concentricity of the generator rotor and stator.

The Air Gap 50 mm Sensor System is suitable for large hydro machines while the Air Gap 20 mm Sensor System is for small to medium hydro machines. Both systems provide an output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe sensor face and the observed conductive surface (rotor pole).

1.2 Proximitor® Sensor The 4000 series Air Gap Proximitor® Sensor is based upon our best selling 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor technology. The Proximitor® Sensor uses a DIN rail connection to ease installation and to minimize the number of cumbersome screws required when working around the hydro generator. The grounding stud on the Proximitor® Sensor features a safety thread in order to ensure the locking nut does not inadvertently fall off during the installation of the ground wire on the extension cable.


2

1.3 Probe and Extension Cable The 4000 series Air Gap probe is designed for maximum survivability in the harshest hydro generator environment. It can continually operate and maintain its accuracy in temperatures up to +125 ºC (257 ºF). The probe can also continually operate and maintain its accuracy in the 1.5 Tesla magnetic field often experienced between the rotor pole and the stator. ClickLoc™ connectors come standard on both the probe and extension cable.

1.4 Receiving, Inspecting, and Handling the System The probe, extension cable, and Proximitor® Sensor are shipped as separate units and must be interconnected at the installation site by the user. Carefully remove all equipment from the shipping containers and inspect the equipment for shipping damage. If shipping damage is apparent, file a claim with the carrier and submit a copy to the nearest Bently Nevada office. Include the part numbers and serial numbers on all correspondence. If no damage is apparent and the equipment is not going to be used immediately, return the equipment to the shipping containers and reseal until ready for use.

Store the equipment in an environment free from potentially damaging conditions such as high temperature or a corrosive atmosphere. See Environmental Limits section for environmental specifications.

2. — Installation

2.1 Sensor Installation

2.1.1 Introduction

Anywhere from 4 to 16 sensors will be attached to the stator laminations at evenly spaced intervals on the same plane. The number of sensors depends on the diameter of the rotor recommended below. In order to fully monitor rotor/stator condition, two mounting planes for sensors are recommended with one plane near the top of the stator and the second near the bottom.

Diameter (meters) Recommended #Probes

<7.5 4

7.5-12 8

12-16 12

>16 16

The stator wall shall be well prepared, as described below prior to attaching the sensor. Handle the sensor with care. Do not pull on the cable or connector. Never paint or attach anything to the sensor surface.

2.1.2 Additional Equipment List

• Isopropyl alcohol

• Disposable cloth rags

• Fine grit sandpaper (non-metallic)

• Depth Micrometer

• Electric Drill (with #7 drill bit)

• ¼-20 tap

• 18 gauge wire stripper

• Hand crimper (for ring lugs)

Section 2 — Installation

5

• Safety Wire (optional and must be non-magnetic)

• Cable tie downs (non-magnetic and ozone resistant)

• Miscellaneous conduit fittings (Consult 3300 XL Proximitor® Housing data sheet for a list of available fittings)

2.1.3

2.1.4 Installation Tips

• Be sure that all precautions have been taken to prevent objects from falling through the air gap to the bottom of the generator

• Be sure to review the applicable Material Safety Data Sheets for the chemicals used to assure proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is worn.

• IMPORTANT! When securing cable, conduit, or anything else inside the generator, use ONLY clamps and hardware that are non-magnetic and not affected by ozone. Ungrounded magnetic materials get very hot in the high magnetic field and can cause shorting and damage to insulation or other components. Do not use nylon cable ties to secure items except temporarily. Most plastics and natural rubbers become brittle and eventually are destroyed by ozone present in the generator. Panduit Corporation makes non-magnetic stainless steel hold-downs and cable ties. If a softener is needed around the cables, use a silicon rubber or fiberglass tape.

• Be sure that the extension cable is tight at the sensor end. The wire must not be allowed to become loose and get tangled in or damaged by the rotor.

• Remove all items from pockets and your personal possession including tools, keys, jewelry, watches, etc. before entering into area enclosed by the stator frame wall.

• Do not take multiple tools into the area enclosed by the stator frame wall.

• Log all tools taken into the generator area to verify they have also been removed from the generator area when work is complete.

• Under no circumstances should any external material be left in the generator, this includes debris from drilling and sanding, wire clippings, sketches, tools, etc.

• In the event that any item is dropped in the generator and cannot be easily retrieved, notify asset owner and assist in the retrieval of the item.

2.1.5 Stator Surface Preparation

The stator surface must be properly prepared in order for the sensor to be fully secured to the stator wall. Failure to do so could result in a lost sensor.

1. For Air Gap 50 mm installations, typically the 50 mm sensor is

mounted such that it is centered over the stator slot wedge and located beneath the second ventilation hole.

For Air Gap 20 mm installations, the 20 mm sensor is mounted directly to the stator stack in between the slot wedges due to the sensor’s narrow profile.

Reference sketch below.

2. Once a suitable mounting location has been determined, moisten cloth rag with isopropyl alcohol and thoroughly wipe down gluing area on stator to remove oil and carbon deposits

3. Using 200 grit, non-metallic sandpaper, scuff the stator wall along the stacks and verify that there are no protrusions of paint that need to be removed or sanded down. (The goal of sanding the stator is to roughen the surface for adhesion, not remove the layer of painted insulation. Please be sure to wear proper personal protective equipment, as required by the Material Safety Data Sheet, when sanding the stator due to possible dust exposure.)

4. Once sanded, wipe down again, with a cloth rag moistened with isopropyl alcohol.

5. Be sure that none of the stacks protrude out farther than the rest as the sensor must be adhered to a flat surface. If this is the case, try moving the sensor either to the left or right of the protrusion.

2.1.6 Attaching the Air Gap 50 mm Sensor

Note: Do not remove the supplied silicone adhesive from its storage bag until ready for use. Unused silicone has a finite shelf life upon removal.

1. Prior to gluing the sensor to the stator verify that the sensor is functioning. Power up the sensor and connect the grounding wires to a grounded object. Pass your hand or an object over the face of the sensor and observe the Proximitor® Sensor output. This should result in a decrease in voltage.

2. Check the stator surface for wedge protrusion. If the wedge exists and exceeds the stator stack surface, fiberglass spacers (supplied) must be used. Skip to step 5. If not, proceed to step 3.

3. Apply the silicone adhesive (supplied) in two strips, approximately ¼ inch away from the edges and approximately 3/8 inch wide along the length of the sensor. Even after sanding, the surface is not flat and there needs to be enough adhesive to fill the gaps, but not so much that it will run out from the edges. Be sure to save the remaining adhesive for securing the sensor cable.

4000 Series Air Gap Transducer System Operation Manual 4. Place the sensor in position such that the sensor will view a

continuous, uniform area of the pole face. This is typically accomplished when the top of the sensor is located just below the second ventilation hole, as illustrated in the figure below. Pivot the sensor slightly to spread adhesive and hold for approximately one minute onto stator wall. Avoid gluing the sensor against the surface of the wedge. Painters tape may be used to secure the sensor to the stator while the RTV adhesive cures. It is recommended to allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure. Be sure to remove the tape from the sensor once the adhesive is cured.

STATOR WEDGE

5. The supplied fiberglass spacers must be used in order to clear the wedge protrusion from stator surface. Use the supplied silicone to adhere the supplied fiberglass spaces shown below. After the adhesive has set (approximately 1 hour), run a ¼” wide strip of silicone down the center of each spacer and attach to the stator wall, straddling the stator wedge, in the same fashion as mentioned in steps 3 and 4 above.

8. Place the sensor in position such that the sensor will view a continuous, uniform area of the pole face. This is typically accomplished when the top of the sensor is located just below the second ventilation hole, as illustrated in the figure above and picture below. Pivot the sensor slightly to spread adhesive and hold for approximately one minute onto stator wall. Avoid gluing the sensor against the surface of the wedge. Painters tape may be used to secure the sensor to the stator while the RTV adhesive cures. It is recommended to allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure. Be sure to remove the tape from the sensor once the adhesive is cured.

2.1.8 Determining Sensor Offset

The distance between the sensor surface and the stator surface must be measured. As shown in the figures below, the measurement, D, accounts for the thickness of the sensor, adhesive and spacers (if used). The measurement, D, is the average of six offset measurements taken at points on the sensor. The measurement, D, should be entered into the 3500 Configuration Software. Consult the 3500/46M Hydro Monitor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual for instructions on how to enter this data.

2.2 Teflon® Conduit Installation

2.2.1 Introduction

The provided Teflon® conduit tubing protects the sensor cable, extension cable, and connection from the stator windings. The tube is used for both Air Gap systems. The tube is fed through the windings as close as possible to the top of the sensor and anchored down with the supplied loop strap and ¼-20 bolt.

The following materials will be required for this installation:

Installation kit (included with sensor) Electric drill, with #7 drill bit (neither included) ¼-20 tap (not included)

2.2.2 Tube Preparation

1. An 18-inch tube is provided for the installation. Some applications may require that this tube be cut to length. Measure the distance through the windings from a point just above the probe (and

12


slightly recessed within the windings) to a point several inches behind the stator windings. See the figure below for clarification.

2.3 Triaxial Extension Cable Installation

2.3.1 Introduction

The triaxial extension cable is used to connect the Air Gap Sensor to the Proximitor® Sensor. This 10-meter cable has a female coaxial connector on one end, and a BNC connector on the other end, each with a drain wire.

The following materials will be required for this installation:

Installation kit (included with sensor) 18 gauge wire stripper (not included) Hand crimper (for ring lugs, not included)

14


2.3.2 Installation 1. Carefully slide the female coaxial end of the extension cable through the

Teflon® conduit tube (near the clamp, behind stator windings) until the connector protrudes out the other end (toward the rotor) by about 2 inches.

2. Attach the male connector from the sensor to the female connector

(finger tight) from the extension cable. The Clickloc™ design will prevent these from disconnecting.

Drain wire (Ext Cable)

Inserting extension cable on stator side.

3. Feed sensor cable drain wire through the Teflon® conduit tube as far as it can go. Carefully pull the extension cable, until slightly taut, through the Teflon® conduit tube. Be sure not to use excessive force to avoid damage to sensor cable. The connection will lie somewhere within the Teflon® conduit tube. Ensure both the drain wire (green) from the sensor and the extension cable protrude out the other side (stator rear). See figure below for clarification.

9. Once the extension cable is attached to the sensor cable and the excess slack is taken up, the exposed cable between the sensor and the Teflon® conduit tube needs to be secured. Make sure the path of the cable is cleaned with isopropyl alcohol before proceeding. Liberally cover the cable with the silicone adhesive, securing it to the stator stacks. Do not paint, put silicone on, or in any way cover the surface of the sensor.

15


RTV- Sensor Lead

10. Allow the sensor to dry in place for a minimum of an hour and preferably overnight before proceeding. Painters tape may be used to secure the sensor to the stator while the RTV adhesive cures. It is recommended to allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure. Be sure to remove the tape from the sensor once the adhesive is cured.

11. The drain wire from the sensor and extension cable may need to be trimmed to reduce excess slack. Once trimmed (if necessary), strip wire and attach a ring lug to both leads using a hand crimper. Attach both grounds to the ¼-20 bolt securing the Teflon® conduit tube in place.

12. Using the supplied adhesive, seal the Teflon® conduit tube opening near the clamp to prevent the cable from sliding.

2.4 Installation of Wiring Inside Generator Housing

• IMPORTANT! When securing cable, Teflon® conduit tube, or anything else inside the generator, use ONLY clamps and hardware that are non-magnetic and not affected by ozone. Ungrounded magnetic materials get very hot in the high magnetic field and can cause shorting and damage to insulation or other components. Do not use nylon cable ties to secure items except temporarily. Most plastics and natural rubbers become brittle and eventually are destroyed by ozone present in the generator. Panduit Corporation makes non-magnetic stainless steel hold-downs and cable ties. If a softener is needed around the cables, use a silicon rubber or fiberglass tape.

• Teflon® conduit tube and cable inside of the generator housing should be

attached securely every 12-18 inches. • IMPORTANT! Be sure that the extension cable is secure at the sensor end.

The wire must not be allowed to become loose and get tangled in or damaged by the rotor.

2.5 Enclosure, Power Supply & Proximitor® Sensor Installation

2.5.1 Introduction

The 3300 XL Proximitor® Housing, P/N 330181-01-00-01-00, allows you to protect Proximitor® Sensors and electrical terminal blocks in areas that would otherwise be subjected to possible damage from moisture or other adverse environmental conditions. The housing is designed to accommodate a maximum of four Air Gap Proximitor® Sensors.

2.5.2 Power Options The Proximitor® Sensor requires +24±3% Vdc. BN P/N 02200627 in a DIN style configuration or a similar +24 Vdc power supply is recommended to meet voltage requirements.

The power supply may be located in either the monitor cabinet or in a 3300 XL Proximitor® Housing containing Air Gap Proximitor® Sensors. For a hydro turbine with four sensors installed, Bently Nevada recommends two Proximitor® Sensors and one power supply per housing, for a total of two housings.

2.5.3 Mounting The Enclosure

Prior to installing the enclosure, keep in mind the following requirements:

Position the enclosure such that the 10-meter extension cable will reach the Proximitor® Sensor.

Access to sufficient ground.

4000 Series Air Gap Transducer System Operation Manual Access to proper input power for external +24 Vdc power supply.

This housing contains removable gland plates, making it easy to drill or punch holes to install conduit fittings. There are also four mounting tabs on the unit allowing simple attachment to any flat surface. The final mounting and conduit configuration is to be determined by the end user. Reference section 4.

2.5.4 Power Supply And Proximitor® Sensor Layout

2.5.6 Electrical Connection

The Proximitor® Sensor requires +24±3% Vdc. BN P/N 02200627 or a similar +24 Vdc power supply is recommended to meet voltage requirement. Please see schematic below for proper connection.

Note: Once the Proximitor® Sensors are powered and put into service they should remain powered at all times except when being serviced. To protect the Proximitor® Sensors from an unwanted Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), power should be removed from the Proximitor® Sensors prior to having any work done inside the Proximitor® Housing. Do not attach power to the Proximitor® Sensors if the temperature is below 0 ºC (+32 ºF).

Application Note: When connecting the Proximitor® Sensor to the 3500 Prox/Velom I/O Module the A and B connections should be followed. The Air Gap Proximitor® Sensor is a positive output device and the Signal (SIG) and Common (COM) outputs must be reversed when connecting to the Prox/Velom I/O Module. The A output of the Proximitor® Sensor should be connected to the A input of the I/O Module and the B output of the Proximitor® Sensor should be connected to the B input of the I/O Module.

2.5.7 Verification

All sensors should be verified for proper operation prior to the commissioning of the generator. Bently Nevada LLC offers a verification fixture to verify that each sensor’s output correlates to a known gap voltage.

Air Gap 20 mm and 50 mm Verification Kit = 168448-01

1. Place target on sensor, such that notched lip hooks on the top of the sensor without disrupting cable.

2. For the Air Gap 50 mm Sensor only: Make sure the magnetic standoffs are on the sensor face.

3. For the Air Gap 20 mm Sensor only: Align the sensor with the black standoffs located in between the magnetic standoffs.

4. Connect target to stator using supplied drain wire. 5. Measure the voltage between the SIG and COM outputs of the Proximitor® Sensor.

The voltage when using the verification fixture should be: Air Gap 20 mm Sensor = 3.1 ± 0.4 Vdc Air Gap 50 mm Sensor = 1.91 ± 0.16 Vdc

6. Remove the verification fixture from the sensor after verifying the output voltage and gap prior to generator startup.

Section 3—Maintenance and Troubleshooting

3. — Maintenance and Troubleshooting This section shows how to verify that the system is operating properly and identify parts of the system that are not working properly.

The 4000 Series Air Gap Sensor System (probe, cable and Proximitor® Sensor), when correctly installed and verified, does not need calibration or verification at regular intervals. If the monitor OK light (green) indicates a NOT OK condition (light is not illuminated), either a fault has occurred in the field wiring, transducer system, or power source.

Bently Nevada recommends the following practices to assure continued satisfactory operation. Verify operation by using Bently Nevada accessory P/N 168448-01 (for Air Gap 20 mm and Air Gap 50 mm) and the verification method described in Section 2 if:

Any of the system components (probe, cable or Proximitor® Sensor) are replaced.

Any of the components are removed and reinstalled or moved and remounted.

Any of the components appear to be damaged. Whenever the machine being monitored is over-hauled.

Note that a step change in the output of the transducer system, or other output that is not consistent with the associated machinery’s trended data is, in most instances, not a transducer problem but a machinery problem. Verification of the transducer system under these conditions can be done at the user’s discretion.

Some users may prefer to verify all transducers at a regular interval. As noted above, this is not required with the 4000 Series Air Gap Sensor System. Users who wish to verify the system on a regular interval should use an interval consistent with their own practices and procedures, which may or may not be based upon ISO 10012-1 “Quality Assurance Requirements for Measuring Equipment”.


3.1 Troubleshooting This section shows how to interpret a fault indication and isolate faults in an installed transducer system. Before beginning this procedure, be sure the system has been installed correctly and all connectors have been secured properly in the correct locations.

When a malfunction occurs, locate the appropriate fault, check the probable causes for the fault indication and follow the procedure to isolate and correct the fault. Use a digital voltmeter to measure voltage. If you find faulty transducers, contact your local Bently Nevada office for assistance.

The troubleshooting procedures use measured voltages as shown in the following figure and tables:

25


Is 200.8 kΩ < RPROBE < 201.2 kΩ ?

No: Faulty probe

3.5 Fault Type 4: VSIG > 14 Vdc with verification fixture on the face of the probe

Reconnect the BNC connector and the grounding wire to the Proximitor® Sensor. Power up the system and install the Air Gap verification fixture over the face of the probe. Make sure both the surface the probe is resting on and the Air Gap verification fixture are grounded. Measure VSIG.

Is VSIG > 14 Vdc?

Yes: Faulty probe, Proximitor® Sensor or cable No: Go to next step

At this point, set up a known good system and verify that VSIG of the Proximitor® Sensor is in the following range with the Air Gap verification fixture properly placed on the probe face:

1.85 Vdc < VSIG < 2.10 Vdc

With the verification fixture in place, begin swapping the questionable individual components in to the known good system to determine which component is faulty. Whichever component causes VSIG to fall outside of the above voltage range is defective.
