Introduction. Electrical insulation systems make up about 0.03 % of the mass of traction electric machines (TEM) but they have an exceptional importance and influence the possibilities of design solutions and the technology of manufacturing electric machines, as a result - on their specific weight and overall dimensions, for reliability and durability of TEM. Improvement of electrical insulating composite systems of TEM is carried out by creating new, more progressive materials and technological processes [1].

Insulation resistance is an integral indicator of manufacturing process stability. Monitoring of product quality in the process of its production is always acute for producers. In modern production conditions, methods and procedures based on statistical analysis of product characteristics are used [2-4]. Quantitatively, the accuracy of manufacturing processes is estimated using the coefficient

kt - —,

where T = Tup - Tiomer is the tolerance of the product to the controlled parameter (the difference between the upper and lower values), a is the standard quadratic deviation of the controlled quantity.

The accuracy of the manufacturing process is assessed based on the following criteria:

• at KT < 0.75 - the manufacturing technological process is accurate;

• at KT = (0.75 - 0.98) - it requires close observation;

• at KT > 0.98 - unsatisfactory.

The criterion for assessing the state of electrical insulating systems in production is the value of insulation resistance Rins. This value is indicated in the normative and technical documentation [5]. Thus, for high-voltage

electrical insulation systems of TEM, the insulation resistance Rins relative to the housing (the lower threshold value) must be at least 20 MQ in the cold state for machines with rated voltage above 400 V. The upper value of the insulation resistance is not regulated. Resistance of insulation is an integral statistical characteristic, which depends, first of all, on the electrophysical properties of the composite system, and the technological process of manufacturing assembly units and the TEM itself. It should be noted that the peculiarity of the technological process of manufacturing TEM insulating systems is a high level of non-mechanized (manual) production.

The goal of the paper is monitoring of the stability of the technological process for the manufacture of electrical insulating systems of TEM based on the insulation resistance measurements in the production.

Monitoring the stability of the manufacturing process by control charts of individual values. The analysis of the manufacturing process is carried out for three versions of the case insulation of the magnetic system of the DC traction electric motor. In each of the three versions of the housing insulation - by 12 samples each differing in the number of layers and the type of insulation tapes. Insulation resistance measurements were made with a MI 2077 teraohmmeter at constant voltage of 2500 V.

Fig. 1,a presents the results of measurements, Fig. 1,b - statistical characteristics of the insulation resistance of the three versions of the housing insulation. The statistical spread of the measured insulation resistance values (Fig. 1,b) within each version of the insulation system is associated with at least two reasons [6]. The

first one is due to unavoidable random measurement errors and the impossibility of absolutely accurate reproduction of test conditions. The second reason is deeper and consists in the fact that the insulation resistance reflects the existing structural and technological defects in the insulation system, and is associated with unhomogeneous insulation material, technological equipment, personnel qualification.

The lower and upper boundaries on the chart (Fig. 3, dot-dash lines) are at a distance of 3*a from the mean (central line). Here, there are no systematic shifts (trends), nor any other signs of the process exit from control: the points of both charts fluctuate evenly (based on visual analysis) relative to the corresponding midlines. The points on both control charts are inside the control limits. The value of the second measurement is close enough to the lower control limit, but against the background of a general positive picture this is not an alarming event.

Fig. 1. Samples of insulation resistance of three versions of the housing insulation system

For all three options, the insulation resistance is within ±3ct of the nominal (mean) value for each sample (Fig. 2), which corresponds to the concept of «Six Sigma» [7].

In the production process, one of the main monitoring tools is the control charts (or Shewhart control charts) that visualize the statistical characteristics of the manufacturing process under investigation [4, 8]. Control charts of individual quantities (Fig. 3) allow to detect deviations (X) or sliding range (MR) of insulation resistance which are due to non-accidental reasons.

When using maps of individual values, the control limits are calculated on the basis of a measure of variation obtained from the sliding ranges of two observations. The sliding range (MR) is the absolute value of the measurement difference in consecutive pairs (the difference between the first and second measurements, the second and third ones, etc.).

On the basis of sliding ranges, the average sliding range is calculated, which is used to build control charts.

Fig. 2. On homogeneity of insulation resistance samples

To specify the criteria for finding a series of points, the area of the individual control chart above the central line and below it is divided into three «zones»: A, B and C [4]. By default, zone A is defined as a region located at distance from 2*a to 3*ct on either side of the center line. Zone B isa region spaced from the central line at a distance from 1*ct to 2*ct, and the zone C is the region located between the central line on both sides of it and bounded by a straight line drawn 1*ct away from the central line.

insulation. For the twelfth CuSum observation (Fig. 4,c), the pass from the lower boundary is noted and for the eleventh - from the upper one for the MR which can serve as a sign of the beginning of the manufacturing process disruption. Here, for this variant, the trend of sample values of CuSum also appears which requires clarification of the reasons for its appearance.

Fig. 3. A control chart of individual values of insulation resistance and sliding ranges for version 1 of the housing insulation system

Depending on the number of points and their location in one of the zones of the control chart, seven criteria are established.

When a criterion is fulfilled in the table of testing results, the row corresponding to this criterion is highlighted in red, and instead of OK in the columns, the numbers of points that fall into the risk zone are indicated (Table 1).

The results of testing (Table 1) performed for the MR- control chart (Fig. 3) and for the other two versions of the housing insulation show that under all criteria of testing the manufacturing process by insulation resistance, the investigated indicators are in statistically controllable state. There was no signal about the need to take precautionary measures.

The control charts of cumulative sums (CuSum) [4] (Fig. 4) which represent the accumulated sums of deviations of individual values of the observed variable (insulation resistance) from the mean value have greater sensitivity to process disturbances.

Conclusions. Construction and analysis of special graphs (charts) of individual values and cumulative sums of insulation resistance, sliding range MR allow to find out whether the technological process of manufacturing electric insulating systems of traction electric machines is in a statistically controllable state.

The presented monitoring procedure can be used to analyze the stability of technological processes for manufacturing electrical insulation systems of turbo and hydro generators.
