Machinery protection systems
03 December 2018
Condition monitoring specialist, Sensonics has delivered the final tranche of machinery protection systems to the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant project in the UAE.

The equipment comprises almost 400 Sentry G3 4-channel protection modules and more than 1200 channels of vibration analysis across 12 cabinets and is currently undergoing final commissioning.
The fully programmable Sentry G3 equipment is used to monitor bearing and shaft vibration in addition to thrust wear and speed. It includes dual redundant power supplies in each rack with redundant Ethernet communications to the main plant systems for trending of overall vibration levels and the reporting of alarms. A condition monitoring package is integrated with the G3 equipment to provide real time analysis of the vibration signals. All data is stored on a local server which provides live machine Mimic’s in combination with offline analysis of historical trends.
