Abstract

Faulty electric motors onboard vessels with anomalies in windings or poor insulation are usually repaired at land based workshops and reinstalled in place by crew hands after receiving the repaired motors. Especially for 3 phase induction motors which need Y-${\delta}$ starters with 6 lead wires, it would happen that the polarities of stator windings cannot be well distinguished if the original tags of these wires are erased or not visible clearly, resulting in subsequent damage to the repaired motor due to extreme current flow when the power is given to the motor the stator windings of which are wrongly connected in the polarity. This study proposes an easy way to make correct connection in winding polarities without failures based on the electro-magnetically induced voltages on windings when a slight DC current is supplied to a winding coil by using an analog multi-tester. The proposed method is applied to actual motors and delves into the applicability for polarity discrimination through a few measurements onboard vessels.

선박의 전동기에 고장이 발생하면 대개 육상에서 수리 후 본선에 다시 재설치 되고 있으나 연결 단자의 기호 표시가 지워지거나 분명치 않을 때는 결선과정에서 전동기 권선의 극성 구별이 어려워진다. 이로 인해 Y-${\delta}$ 기동의 전동기에서 한 권선의 극성을 반대로 잘못 연결하는 경우 전원 투입과 동시에 과다한 전류가 흐르면서 재차 2차 고장으로 이어질 위험이 있다. 이러한 문제와 관련하여 본 논문은 고정자의 1상 권선에 미소 직류전류를 흘릴 때 나머지 권선들에서 유도되는 과도 기전력의 특성을 토대로 아날로그 멀티테스터를 이용한 고정자 권선의 극성 판별법을 제시하고 관련 특성을 분석한다. 또한, 이 같은 방식을 실제 전동기에 적용하여 단계적인 측정과정을 통해 단자연결의 이상여부를 현장에서 용이하게 판별할 수 있는지를 확인해 보기로 한다.
