About product:
Monitors and evaluates conditions throughout an operating "machine system" that affects the health and performance of the motor within the system, Evaluates the quality of incoming power fed to the motor, Evaluates motor performance indicators, Monitors the amount and condition of the load placed on the motor, Device connection options: in a motor junction box, the device cab, inside a motor control cabinet (MCC), from outside an MCC (requires a Baker EP1000 (dynamic motor mount)), Designed for harsh field use in tight spaces typical of industrial environments, AC or battery operation, Visual confirmation of motor integrity, Facility It facilitates the research of engine efficiency across the board and has a Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.
Baker EXP4000 is a powerful tool designed for on-site use to analyze the engine operating under its normal load. Monitors multiple types of data to identify trends that indicate potential problems. Voltage and current are measured and then monitored for a number of parameters, including power quality, rotor bar condition, % load, % operating efficiency, average torque value, torque ripple indicating variation within the process, monitoring of initial transients (volts, current and torque), and much more is calculated.
The EXP4000 enables root cause analysis, starting with the separation of mechanical and electrical problems that may be present in a motor-machine system. The EXP4000 is designed to identify challenges in the system by monitoring many different parameters and using advanced software algorithms, including the power delivered, the variable frequency drive, the motor and the load placed on the motor.
Examples of the wide variety of problems it can detect include: incorrect settings on a supply transformer taps, inadequately distributed single-phase loads, overload (saturating) supply transformers, excessive VFDs on low-voltage buses, excessive non-harmonic frequencies on a VFD, missing line inductors It instantly detects load problems such as open VFD applications and missing or open power factor correction capacitors, Thermal overload in the motor, Related current problems, Broken rotor bars, mechanical problems, temporary overload, mechanical imbalances as well as bearing problems and cavitation.
The Baker EP1000 Dynamic Engine Mount is an optional accessory that is permanently installed inside the engine control cabinet (MCC) and provides a low-voltage port on the cabinet door. A technician can connect the EXP4000 to this port without having to open the cabinet or shut down the engine. Apart from the obvious safety benefits, this provides greater convenience and productivity in situations where large numbers of engines must be monitored.
With the use of the Baker EXP4000 and a static engine analyzer such as the Baker AWA-IV, maintenance professionals have the tools to maximize uptime of engines and the machines they drive while minimizing unexpected failures.
