Tests now under way on various commercial vessels are conclusively demonstrating that a new electronic device can virtually eliminate burnouts caused by insulation failure, which is the major cause of burnouts in shipboard AC machinery. The Early Warning device, the PffllffiPC Motor/Generator (patent pending) is simply and easily installed in the starter enclosure of electric motors or on the switchboard of generators. It continuously monitors insulation resistance in the'idle machine. When the action of salt water, condensation and unavoidable shipboard contaminants, like oil and grease, causes resistance to fall below a predetermined safe level, the PAHMP£ gives the Early Warning necessary to initiate, appropriate normal preventive maintenance. Developed and marketed by Marine Safe Electronics of Canada Ltd., the PM1MPE Motor/Generator Protector is U.L. — Listed and has won the approval of the world's leading maritime licensing agencies. Among the vessels currently using the device to protect essential equipment are the Amoco Europa, S.S. Texaco London, M.V. Regenstein, M.W. Westgae, M.S. Dwarka and M.S. Imperial Bedford. In all cases, the owners have found the Early Warning devices to work most satisfactorily. Some even earn their investments back within a few short months. The device is available in models for all AC motors operated by starters, contractors or shunt-trip circuit breakers and for generators delivering up to 600 volts. High voltage units, up to 11KV are available. In addition to early warning alarm systems, there are two protective options available: start prevention and start prevention with emergency override. PAIII APE .MOTOR/GENERATOR PROTECTOFfl 'Patent Pending PREVENTS MOTOR/GENERATOR BURNOUTS Caused by Insulation Breakdown Ask about our 5-XEAR iUARANftt1 The Problem The Solution in HI | * X Failure of insulation is far and away the primary cause of burnouts in modern AC machines. While ship- board motors and generators are idle, their insulation is subject to con- tinuous contamination and degrada- tion. The burnout, when it comes, usually occurs a few seconds after start up. When it is an essential motor or generator, the costs are enormous: Expensive rewinding is needed and delays and safety hazards result — which all add up to unscheduled downtime and over-budget expen- diturs. The PAIlMfE Motor/Generator Pro- tector is an early warning device for most AC motors and generators. The compact, solid state unit continuously monitors insulation resistance in the idle machine. When it falls below a pre-set level (i.e. 1 meg), PffllMPC triggers an Early Warning alarm and/or prevents starting. Any maintenance crew can then clean dry and/or revarnish the coil as necessary. Preventive maintenance forestalls the burnout and its in- evitable delays, frustrations and over-budget expenditures! Approved and Accepted by: The FMIMFE Motor/Generator Protector (Patent Pending) is approved and/or ac- cepted by American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), U.S. Coast Guard, Lloyd's Register of Shipping, Germanifcher Lloyd, Det norske Veritas and is U.L. — Listed.
