Meg-Alert
and Gen-Guard Products
|
Motor Guard is a
patented motor testing and protection system designed to
monitor winding insulation breakdown in critical duty motors.
Meg-Alert has created a patented, automatic, in-line
insulation resistance tester and monitor with test
capabilities from 500 to 5000 VDC. Downtime and maintenance
costs are reduced as critical motors are pulled out of
production as part of a preventive maintenance program rather
than after a catastrophic failure. Personnel safety is
improved and adherence to a preventive maintenance schedule
enhanced as Motor Guard testing is conducted automatically
rather than manually. In effect, Motor Guard provides the
peace of mind that comes from meg ohm testing the motor
windings before every start. |

Gen Guard is a patented generator testing and protection system designed to
monitor and protect against winding insulation breakdown in the electrical side
of engine/generator sets. If an abnormal condition is detected, the generator
starter can be locked out, and a warning signal can be sent indicating that the
generator requires attention. Gen Guards can also provide an early warning
(pre-alarm) of insulation breakdown within the generator that allows
maintenance personnel to safeguard against premature failure and the resulting
unscheduled downtime. Downtime is reduced as these critical - duty generators
are pulled out of production on a predictive schedule for reconditioning,
rather than rewound after a catastrophic failure. Generator reliability is
improved and adherence to preventive maintenance schedules enhanced as Gen
Guard testing is conducted automatically rather than manually.

Meg-Alert has introduced Multi Guard, designed to provide
protection for multiple generators or motors. The Multi Guard
system monitors and protects against winding insulation
breakdown in up to 9 motors or 6 generators (500 volt) per unit.
Functioning similarly to single Meg-Alert systems, Multi Guard
automatically tests the motor or generator for unsafe leakage to
ground levels and winding insulation degradation.
