This e-book arose out of the conviction that each designers and customers of huge motors and mills would recognize a single reference work in regards to the electrical insulation programs utilized in rotating machines. We additionally wished to doc how and why the insulation programs in present use got here to be. Since rotating machine insulation will not be essentially the most glamorous area of examine within the engineering world, it’s generally handled as an afterthought. The outcome has been a gradual lack of information as innovators within the area have retired, with few new folks specializing in it.

We hope that the archiving of the knowledge on this e-book will gradual this gradual lack of information and be a helpful place to begin for future improvements. This e-book is exclusive in that two of the authors (Alan Boulter and Ian Culbert) have a machine design background, whereas the opposite two have expertise as primarily customers of machines. With luck, each customers and producers of machines can discover their pursuits represented right here.

Collectively, three of us (Greg Stone, Ian Culbert, and Hussein Dhirani) need to thank Ontario Hydro (now Ontario Energy Technology) for enabling us to turn into specialists on this area.Evidently the present enterprise local weather allows few engineers to turn into as specialised as we had been allowed to be. We’d additionally wish to thank John Lyles, Joe Kapler, and Mo Kurtz, all former workers of Ontario Hydro, who taught us a lot of what we all know.

EPRI, and Jan Stein specifically, are acknowledged for permitting the three of us to have a “dry run” at this e-book after they sponsored the writing of a handbook within the 1980s. We thank Resi Lloyd, who labored valiantly to place a constant model on the assorted chapters, created lots of the figures, and introduced the e-book collectively. Hussein Dhirani thanks his household for permitting him to sneak away to the workplace on some weekends to work on the e-book on the doubtful pretext of higher productiveness.

Hussein is grateful for the generosity of the various who shared their information, from tradesmen engaged on mills, to designers poring over drawings, to workers in sister utilities discussing frequent issues, to provider organizations explaining the intricacies of their insulation programs design. The understanding and assist of Derek Sawyer and Invoice Wallace at Ontario Energy Technology is especially appreciated. Ian Culbert thanks Ontario Energy Technology for permitting him to take part in various inner and EPRI initiatives from which he gained a lot of the knowledge he contributed to this e-book.

He additionally appreciates the alternatives his former employers Reliance Electrical and Parsons Peebles gave him to learn to design, take a look at, and troubleshoot motors. Lastly, Greg Stone desires to thank his unique companions at Iris Energy Engineering—Blake Lloyd, Steve Campbell, and Resi Lloyd—for permitting his consideration to wander from day-to-day enterprise issues to one thing as esoteric as contributing to a e-book. After all, Greg’s spouse, Judy Allan, is thanked as a result of she by no means did query the premise that the majority of us use holidays for writing books and papers.
