Abstract

A description is given of the development of an expert system software to assist motor and generator users in assessing the insulation condition of their machines. The machine insulation condition assessment advisor (MICAA) is a user-friendly PC-based software package designed for use by rotating machine maintenance personnel. The expert system leads the engineer through an assessment of a particular machine and provides diagnostic advice about necessary repairs or replacement of components. In addition, the expert system maintains a database of machine diagnosis and repairs for use in subsequent analyses.<>
