Electrical rotating equipment and machinery play a crucial role in many industries, from manufacturing, defence, transportation, energy and power generation. These machines are used to generate, transmit, and convert electrical power and they are essential to the functioning of many critical systems. However, like any other type of machinery, electrical rotating equipment requires regular maintenance and refurbishment to ensure it remains reliable and efficient. PPI Engineeri

A permanent magnet generator (PMG) is an important part of the brushless self-excited system for large synchronous machines. It provides ‘self-excitation’ through the permanent magnets spinning on the rotor shaft of the main machine itself. Thus, no external power supply is required for excitation of the machine. PPI Engineering’s in-house software programme for designing PMGs, ‘DCPMG’, has been undergoing an upgrade. To make the design process for a PMG quicker and easier fo

It’s National Apprenticeship Week between 7th – 13th February 2022 and for apprentices, the right placement could give them crucial experience and an all-important foot into the Engineering industry. Building for the future Around the world, countries are constantly looking to develop their infrastructure, improve their power supply systems and produce more effective and innovative machinery. For this to be achieved, there needs to be enough skilled resource to supply the dem

A new business expansion opportunity PPI Engineering is delighted to announce a new business expansion opportunity that has been supported by New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership through their Business Resilience Grant Scheme. The Project PPI Engineering have identified an opportunity to provide ongoing condition monitoring and technical design and maintenance support for the electrical power generation equipment installed in offshore renewables. In order to support its en

What is Partial Discharge and why test for it? Partial Discharge (PD) is an electrical discharge or spark across a void or gap. This can take place between two electrodes (e.g. in a motor, the copper conductor and earth) without completely bridging across the two electrodes — Hence the term “Partial”. These voids and gaps occur because of manufacturing processes, thermal deterioration over time, poor fitting of the coils, and coil movement due to looseness and vibration etc.
