The Iris Power Folding Flux Probe (FFProbe) is a non-metallic sensor that detects the magnetic field emanated from each rotor pole in generators and synchronous motors to determine the presence and severity of failure mechanisms including out of round rotor, off center rotor, thermal imbalance of rotor poles, loose poles, stator Migration or shorted rotor turns.
These failure mechanisms can lead to decreased generator power, higher electrical losses, inability to meet the machine MVA rating, significant vibration and catastrophic ground faults.
- Iris Power FFProbe is a customizable folding probe used in generators with an air gap distance of 50 mm or over.
- The probe height is customized during installation to accommodate the machine design.
- The probe is foldable to allow for rotor removal and introduction without damaging the probe
- The FFProbe assembly includes the probe, probe cable and termination box.
- ATEX, IECEx, C-UL-US and INMETRO Hazardous location Certifications
Penetration assemblies are available for the folding flux probes being installed on hydrogen cooled machines
