  • Abstract
    The paper describes how techniques for monitoring the condition of generators and large motors have been used and developed in one region of the UK Central Electricity Generating Board. Many parameters need to be monitored on a generator, so that a comprehensive and clear picture of any degradation can be built up for use in planning shutdowns and maintenance. Only a few parameters are needed for motors. The criteria are given of experiences with selected monitoring techniques.
