Bentley AnomAlert products:
GE’s Bently Nevada AnomAlert three-phase AC motor anomaly diagnosis detector solution provides a low-cost innovative AC motor and load anomaly detection system, which complements predictive maintenance plans. The user interface of this product is extremely simple, and combined with model-based intelligent state analysis, it provides valuable and timely anomaly detection functions for most asynchronous, synchronous, and variable speed motor drive equipment. Using CT/CS and PT, which are usually installed on electric motors, AnomAlert treats the motor itself as a mechanical load status sensor, thereby achieving automatic analysis of fault states.
The AnomAlert system is easy to install and requires almost no human intervention during operation. It combines the significant benefits of anomaly detection with low start-up costs, becoming a complementary component of predictive maintenance plans. Because sensors are usually not required to be installed on electric motors and the loads they drive, AnomAlert is particularly attractive for operating equipment that is difficult to access, suitable for pumps, compressors, and similar loads driven by a wide variety of types of motors.
AnomAlert has the following characteristics:
Can detect electrical and mechanical faults without the need for additional measuring instruments
Continuous monitoring of the motor and its load without the need for human intervention
When a fault type is detected, provide on-site and remote fault type and severity prompts, and recommend solutions.
Send an email to maintenance personnel detailing potential issues; Avoid frequent viewing of data display
• Status monitoring can be requested when needed
• Easy to configure
Low installation cost
No advanced professional skills are required to support status monitoring
• Reduced the need for professionals while providing the same level of status monitoring technology support
• Enable remote diagnostic service capability
No need to lay cables over long distances or install sensors that require special maintenance
Continuous monitoring can reduce periodic portable data collection when there are no faults present
No calibration required
• Identify opportunities for energy conservation and consumption reduction
AnomAlert brings the following benefits to customers:
Installation is extremely easy; Assuming that CT and PT are installed by a service engineer with high-voltage electrical equipment qualification certification with the support and cooperation of the factory’s electrical department, it would normally take less than an hour to install AnomAlert for each motor.
AnomAlert requires very little space and volume on the motor control cabinet panel, and has a simple user display interface.
Fully utilize existing measuring and monitoring instruments, or select recommended current transformers/current sensors and voltage transformers based on the type of motor.
Provide users with automatic notifications of various electrical and mechanical faults through advanced mathematical modeling techniques.
Notice to improve the planning of equipment maintenance and reduce unexpected downtime, thereby increasing the availability of mechanical equipment.
• Easy to use; With simple training and extremely basic technical support, users can quickly get started and master it.
The Bently Nevada AnomAlert motor anomaly detector solution allows factory operators or technicians to spend more time on equipment management based on information obtained from process and reliability data, rather than rushing through data collection time and time again. This greatly reduces the time it takes for maintenance personnel to collect information and try to find the point of problem occurrence, providing great convenience for factory workers. AnomAlert lets the engineering and technical team know where valuable human, material, and energy resources are most critical, so they can take the right measures immediately before serious faults further escalate.
EX2100H product:
GE Testing Control Technology and Harbin Electric Machinery Co., Ltd. (referred to as Harbin Electric) have jointly launched the localized product EX2100H of GE EX2100 excitation system to meet the demand of Chinese power customers for GE’s advanced excitation technology The new localized product is jointly developed by GE and Harbin Electric, which integrates the core technology of GE EX2100 digital excitation system, supplemented by Harbin Electric’s overall design and manufacturing, and is safe and debugged by Harbin Electric The localized product EX2100H of EX2100 excitation system was fully promoted in the Chinese market in September 2010. This localized product integrates GE’s leading technology of high reliability in excitation systems, as well as Harbin Electric’s advanced design concepts. This product will also bring better reliability and higher economy to customers in the Chinese market. EX2100H is widely used, especially focusing on the growing coal-fired power and hydropower markets in China
GE is one of the world’s leading excitation manufacturers, which began developing excitation control systems as early as the 1960s. After more than 40 years of practice and experience accumulation, GE has provided nearly 8000 reliable excitation systems to more than 70 countries and regions around the world. EX2100 is GE’s latest technology level excitation control system, widely used in coal-fired, gas-fired, and hydroelectric power plants. In China, GE has provided nearly a hundred sets of EX2100 excitation systems for coal-fired power plants by collaborating with the three major domestic generator manufacturers.
Jingneng Thermal Power Inner Mongolia Jingtai Power Generation Co., Ltd. (Jingneng Suancigou Power Plant) has successfully installed two localized EX2100 excitation system products. The two generators in the plant were put into operation in March 2010 and are in good working condition.

XL G3 Industrial Video Endoscope Products:
The upgraded XL G3 industrial video endoscope uses the latest breakthrough technology in 3D phase stereo measurement,
Changing the game rules, it provides 3D imaging technology to improve the accuracy and efficiency of manufacturing, maintenance, and inspection processes for aerospace and power equipment. Previously, measurements were mainly conducted using stereo measurement and shadow measurement methods, which were relatively complex and required replacing the observation lens with a measuring lens. And the probe must be replaced from a viewing probe to a measuring probe, which increases the time of the detection process. Three dimensional phase measurement provides a cross-sectional view, which detects the cross-section of an object. With the sectional view, inspectors can rotate and zoom to obtain more accurate defect information. The ability to diagnose the shape and characteristics of defects more comprehensively enables better assessment of asset availability This new technology only uses an integrated lens probe to provide precise 3D surface scanning.
