Online chemical monitoring
This chapter has shown that chemical and wear analysis have been demonstrated to be effective global monitoring techniques for electrical machines which can produce narrow bandwidth (<1 Hz) signals. Chemical degradation of insulating materials and lubricants is detectable and can give bulk indications of the condition of an electrical machine. This is particularly important when it is considered how central insulation and lubrication integrity are to the long-term life of a machine.
