Description

The Bently Nevada 330505-02-02-02 Low Frequency Velocity Sensor is specifically designed for hydroelectric turbines where slow rotating speeds require detecting a low signal to noise ratio. It detects vibration of the stator core, stator frame, and bearing housing supports. The sensor provides early warning of pending machinery problems and helps diagnose issues before they become serious.

The sensor measures absolute vibration within the 0.5Hz to 1.0kHz range. Its two-wire design uses moving-coil technology and embedded signal conditioning circuitry to provide a voltage output directly proportional to the vibration velocity.

Stator core and stator frame vibration can cause fretting and damage to winding insulation. Mount a 330505-02-02-02 sensor on the outer diameter of the stator core and frame to detect these problems. Bearing housing vibration can distort levels of vibration measured by shaft-observing proximity probes. Placing sensors on the bearing housing measures both shaft-relative and bearing-absolute vibration signals.

The transducer connects to the 3500/46M Hydro Monitor, meeting the requirements of ISO Standard 10816-5 for mechanical vibration on non-rotating parts in hydraulic power and pumping plants.

Installation Guidelines

  • Mounting Orientation: Verify sensor orientation according to the ordering option; the -02 option corresponds to $90\text{ deg}\pm5\text{ deg}$.
  • Mounting Torque: Do not exceed the maximum mounting torque limit of 46 kg cm (40 in-lb).
  • Cable Routing: Maximum interconnecting cable length is 305 meters (1000 feet) when connected to a 3500/46M Hydro Monitor.
  • System Constraints: The 330505 Low Frequency Velocity Sensor is not recommended for automated machinery protection due to high amplitude low frequency velocity events.
  • Hazardous Areas: Due to capacitance constraints, this sensor is not approved for hazardous area installations.

Compliance and Certifications

  • EMC: EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
  • RoHS: ROHS Directive 2011/65/EU
  • FCC: Complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules
