Hi-Pot & El-Cid
(OP)
which one to use, when and why?
have a generator off for a scheduled outage and moisture/humidity to high for Hi-Pot. would El-Cid provide condition in place of Hi-Pot?

RE: Hi-Pot & El-Cid
as an alternative to not doing anything i was thinking at least an ElCid might give us info on the core if it can be done under high moisture/humidity conditions.
RE: Hi-Pot & El-Cid
An RSO is another test which you could reasonably carry out, although when you ask about El-CID in high humidity, you may as well ask 'em about an RSO too.
Out of interest, where are you?

for:
The additional test (EI CID) is to verify the condition of the insulating material on the stator (unit was installed in 1954).

RE: Hi-Pot & El-Cid
there was no other concern for generator problems and none existed before it came down for the scheduled turbine outage.
RE: Hi-Pot & El-Cid
EL-CID test would not tell you anything about the insulation only tells you if you have a core problem.
RE: Hi-Pot & El-Cid
ELCID test checks the core only.
