Product catalog summary
Overview: The EDC AST5 Test System is an automatic testing platform designed for stators and coils, capable of detecting defects that are not visible but can lead to motor failure. It offers two configurations: AST5/WS (stand-alone) and AST5/WI (integrated).
Standard Tests: The system performs tests to detect permanent short circuits, open circuits, incorrect winding resistance, dielectric strength issues, surge problems, and functional errors such as connection mistakes and rotation direction reversal.
Limitations of Standard Tests: Standard tests may miss latent defects like wires brushing against the core, thin enamel coatings, hairpin geometry issues, and impregnation defects. These can lead to insulation degradation under high voltage stress, especially with PWM inverter drives.
Partial Discharge Measurements: The AST5 system includes Partial Discharge (PD) measurements to detect latent defects that standard tests miss. PD measurements help intercept quality defects before they cause field failures.
Software and Configurability: The EDCWin.NET software manages test programs, parameters, sequences, and acceptance thresholds. It supports result archiving, multilingual certificate printing, and connectivity via LAN and OPC/UA.
Technical Features: The system supports a range of products including wound stators, hairpin stators, coils, and wound rotors. It offers basic electrical tests, functional tests, and partial discharge tests with configurable test voltages and sampling frequencies.
Workstation Configuration: The AST5/WS version supports manual or automated loading, while the AST5/WI version requires manual loading by an operator.
Standards Compliance: The system complies with IEC standards for inverter-fed machines and partial discharge measurements.
Power Supply: The system operates on a 230 V ~ 50/60 Hz power supply.
Conclusion: The EDC AST5 Test System provides comprehensive electrical testing capabilities with advanced features for detecting latent defects, ensuring high-quality production and reducing the risk of motor failures.

THE DEFECT YOU CANNOT SEE IS THE ONE THAT BREAKS THE MOTOR Stator quality is measured on two levels. WHAT STANDARD TESTS DETECT WHAT STANDARD TESTS MISS Permanent short circuits, open circuits, incorrect number of turns (winding resistance). Windings in contact between phases or with the core (dielectric strength). Turn-to-turn short circuits within the same winding (surge). Connection errors, rotation direction reversal (functional tests). A wire outside the slot brushing against the core, without damaging the enamel. A thin or scratched enamel coating at a single point of the winding. A hairpin...

THE TEST THAT SEES WHAT OTHERS MISS A Partial Discharge is a localized electrical discharge that only partially bridges the insulation between two conductors. It is not a short circuit, it is its precursor. Every discharge leaves a micro-erosion in the dielectric; repeated over time under voltage stress, it leads to failure. Measuring Partial Discharges at end-of-line means intercepting quality defects before they become field failures. Marposs E.D.C. laboratory tests on a sample stator and rotor simulate three realistic defects. Each defect leaves the results of standard tests unchanged (Resistance,...
