Development of Condition and Performance Monitoring Technology of MOV

모터 구동밸브 성능 및 고장감시 기술개발

This paper is to see the availability of electrical signatures as a means for evaluating performance of MOVs which are extensively used in safety-related systems in nuclear plants. To estimate motor torque, two methods such as d-q frame conversion and air-gap method are suggested and estimated results are compared with measured values. The error between measured and estimated torques is within acceptable error bound with below $1\%$ under varied load. Frequency domain analysis of calculated torque has been done as well. It is shown that monitoring of peak frequency could give useful clues to detect anomalies of MOV.
