PERMANENTLY
INSTALLED AUTOMATIC INSULATION RESISTANCE TESTER - Meg-Alert's
Motor Guards and Gen Guards are patented testing and protection
systems designed to detect winding insulation breakdown in critical
motors and generators. If an abnormal condition is detected,
the equipment can be locked out, and a warning signal sent,
indicating that the motor or generator requires attention. Meg-Alerts
provides an early warning (pre-alarm) of insulation breakdown
that allows maintenance personnel to safeguard against premature
motor and generator failure and the resulting downtime. Downtime
is reduced as critical motors/generators are pulled out of production
on a predictive schedule rather than after a catastrophic failure.
Significant cost savings are realized when the equipment is
reconditioned as part of a preventive maintenance plan rather
than rewound on an emergency basis. The “hands off” automatic
testing capabilities the MotorGuard and GenGuard systems increases
personnel safety by eliminating the need for manual testing.
Motor Guard and Gen Guards are designed to be an integral part
of any preventive maintenance program.
