Determining Winding Failure Hours in Motors: Leroy Sommer and Siemens Insulation Systems

Question:

Greetings from Spain! I am seeking information on insulation systems, specifically in relation to Leroy Sommer and Siemens Motors. I am interested in determining the failure hours of these devices, especially in relation to moisture stress. The goal is to assess the likelihood of device failure using Weibull Analysis. Sincerely, Allen.

If you're looking for data on machinery failure analysis, consider checking out Heins Bloch's 4-volume book in the appendix. It may contain the information you're searching for.

Hi Allen, good to see someone from Spain here! From my experience, both Leroy Somer and Siemens motors are quite reliable, but their insulation system's lifespan can indeed be affected by moisture stress. I’d recommend checking their technical documentation or reaching out directly to their customer support for specific figures. Conducting a Weibull Analysis is a great idea to determine the likelihood of failure over time. It's also important to invest in a maintenance plan to ensure a longer lifespan of these devices. Make sure to consider the operating environment as well when running your reliability tests. Stay connected, we'd love to hear about your findings!

Hi Allen, welcome from Spain! Interestingly, Siemens and Leroy Sommer insulation systems have different operational longevity due to their unique design principles. Moisture stress significantly affects both, but it largely depends on the quality of installations and maintenance. I recommend looking into their technical datasheets to get more precise numbers. As for Weibull Analysis, it’s a fantastic statistical tool to assess the likelihood of failure over time, but remember to consider any potential confounding variables that may skew your results.

Hi Allen, it sounds like a fascinating project you're working on! Regarding your question about Leroy Sommer and Siemens Motors, while I don't have the specific numbers, I can tell you that the failure hours would generally depend on the respective device's insulation class. Typically, insulation systems for most motors are designed to withstand certain levels of moisture. Though if the moisture exceeds its designated limit, it could significantly reduce the motor's lifespan. Now, using Weibull Analysis to assess the likelihood of failure is a good strategy, but remember it's always good to compare results across different stress conditions and combine it with real-world observations for the most accurate results.
