Unlocking Efficient Motor Startup Analysis with Event Capture Technology
This white paper explores how Event Capture functionality in PMI recorders enables detailed analysis of motor startups, even with legacy hardware. It demonstrates optimal configuration for capturing fast inrush currents, explains the advantages of Event Capture over waveform capture, and provides practical guidance for interpreting event data to assess voltage sags and current spikes during motor startup events.
Key topics include:
- Introduction to Event Capture
- Induction Motor Startup Characteristics
- Configuring Event Capture Settings
- Interpreting Event Change Reports
- Case Study: Motor Startup Analysis
Why utilities should care:
Event Capture allows precise monitoring of motor startup events, helping identify voltage sags and current spikes with minimal memory use. This enables improved protection settings, reduces nuisance breaker trips, and supports reliable system operation with both new and legacy equipment.
