The Centenelle System
Our Monitors
Our Monitors are designed for ease of deployment and configuration -The Centenelle system has been carefully designed specifically for ease of installation.
Centenelle’s Electrical Pattern Monitoring (ePM) technology provides 24/7 comprehensive monitoring and analysis of the energy consumption of motors, providing the richest source of information on motor health.
Our ePMs collect thousands of samples and measurements each second and compare to established motor-specific baselines, producing valuable data that is condensed into actionable alerts using our proprietary algorithm.
By accessing this information customers will be able to lower energy cost through improved efficiency and optimize maintenance expenditures by early identification of pending failures before the asset is damaged and production lost.
Centenelle™ ePMs continuously and comprehensively measure the quality and pattern of the electric power supply and usage of individual electric motors. We believe this is the richest source of data that can be used to identify pending failures and inefficiencies.
- Our ePMs condense a comprehensive set of data into electrical pattern matrices including:
- Voltage range and balance
- Voltage and amperage harmonic and inter-harmonic content
- Power demand by operation stage
- Power change characterizations (start-up, ramp-up, ramp-down, etc.)
Benefits
- Electrical pattern matrices are stored as baselines when electric motor-driven systems are known to be in a state of good health, such that future deviations from baseline can be used to provide critical early indications that problems are beginning to develop.
- Our monitors combine the well-known benefits of voltage quality monitoring, advanced power trend monitoring, and power spectral analysis within the comprehensive new concept.
- Most electric motor-driven systems operate at only several different power levels during normal operational cycles. Many simple motor driven systems are either on or off. More complex systems may also have different loading levels, depending upon the process, but the total number of normally expected power levels is relatively few. The operation of most electric motor-driven systems is generally characterized by steady, stable power consumption at only a few different levels.
