Framatome Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 Project

Project runs from 08/10/2020 to 05/31/2021
$5,000

Currently, there is no existing technology that can store all of the required motor-operated valve (MOV) data when the MOV is cycled at the Motor Control Center (MCC). The existing Framatome product offerings related to MOV testing requires an individual to be present at the valve or at the MCC to collect data. The one (1) device that can collect / store data at the MCC only gathers current and voltage data. To adequately test an MOV, strain gage, switch, current and voltage data are all required.

Requirements:
Storage medium that captures all necessary analog data from 8 channels, converts this to digital and stores the data at the MCC
Battery powered; life TBD
Has to fit within limited space constraints of MCC.
