Features:

  • Interface Between the 50 mm Probe and 3500 Rack Monitoring System
  • Combines Capability of Signal Conditioning with Extended Linear Range Measurement
  • Operates in Conjunction with the 3300 XL 50 mm Probe and Extension Cable
The 330878-51-05 operates as the 3300 XL 50 mm Proximitor Sensor in a transducer system, providing reliable signal conditioning for large steam turbine generator applications. It continuously processes eddy current signals from the 50 mm probe across a total system length of 5.0 meters (16.4 feet) and converts these signals to proportional voltage outputs for distribution to monitoring systems. Seamless integration is standard with the 330878-51-05, however using complementary transducer configurations will allow extended differential expansion measurement ranges up to 56 mm (2.2 inches) in the event of large rotor axial movement. The 330878-51-05 has made improvements in several areas over previous proximitor designs in addition to incorporating advanced RFI/EMI immunity within the 3300 XL product line.

The 330878-51-05 provides essential signal conditioning functions common to the entire transducer system, and is a critical component of the measurement path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of differential expansion monitoring. One 330878-51-05 proximitor sensor is required per transducer channel depending on the measurement configuration. The 330878-51-05 occupies minimal installation space with its thin design and can be mounted in either high-density DIN-rail installations or traditional panel mount configurations.

For Dual Redundant Measurement applications, the 3300 XL 50 mm System requires a second 330878-51-05-based transducer channel observing the same side of the differential expansion collar. In addition to standard single transducer operation, the redundant configuration also performs complementary measurement. The 330878-51-05 dual transducer configuration executes differential expansion monitoring using the extended linear range specified in the system specifications. Using this method, the redundant measurement system continually monitors the rotor position relative to the stator. If the system detects that the differential expansion exceeds the single transducer range of 27.9 mm (1.1 inches), it will automatically utilize the complementary transducer arrangement and provide expanded measurement capability for the turbine protection system.

The 330878-51-05 Bently Nevada 3300 XL 50 mm Proximitor Sensor may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
The 330878-51-05 is a 3300 XL 50 mm Proximitor Sensor specifically designed for large steam turbine generator applications. This 330878-51-05 sensor features a total system length of 5.0 meters (16.4 feet) and utilizes DIN mounting configuration with multiple agency approvals. The 330878-51-05 forms an integral part of the 3300 XL 50 mm Transducer System, working in conjunction with a separate 50 mm probe and extension cable to deliver comprehensive measurement capabilities.

This 330878-51-05 Proximitor Sensor is engineered with a large diameter coil that provides a maximum linear range of 27.9 mm (1100 mils), representing the longest linear range available in the eddy current transducer product line. The 330878-51-05 is specifically designed for measuring differential expansion (DE) and rotor expansion (RX) in large steam turbine generators, addressing the critical challenge of monitoring growth rate differences between the turbine rotor and machine stator casing. The 330878-51-05 enables precise tracking of thermal expansion differentials that occur during turbine startup, shutdown, and steady-state operations.

The 330878-51-05 supports various differential expansion measurement configurations to accommodate different turbine specifications. When utilizing the 330878-51-05 for DE measurement, the system employs two proximity transducers observing a collar or ramp positioned at a distance from the thrust bearing. The 330878-51-05 accommodates installations where two transducers observe the same side of a collar for redundant measurements, or complementary input configurations where transducers observe opposite sides to effectively double the measurable DE range. For applications requiring measurement ranges between 28 mm to 56 mm (1.1 to 2.2 inches), the 330878-51-05-based system supports complementary mounting arrangements on opposite sides of the differential expansion collar.

The 330878-51-05 incorporates advanced design features consistent with the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor series. The 330878-51-05 features a thin profile enabling installation in high-density DIN-rail configurations or traditional panel mount setups. The 330878-51-05 delivers improved RFI/EMI immunity, achieving European CE mark approvals without requiring special mounting considerations. This electromagnetic interference protection ensures the 330878-51-05 maintains measurement integrity even when exposed to nearby high-frequency radio signals. The 330878-51-05 utilizes SpringLoc terminal strips that eliminate the need for specialized installation tools while facilitating rapid, robust field wiring connections.

Technical notes
The Bently-Nevada 330878-51-05 requires a power supply input between -17.5 Vdc and -26 Vdc (or -23 Vdc to -26 Vdc with barriers) and must be paired exclusively with matched 5.0-meter 3300 XL 50 mm system components to preserve its factory-calibrated Scale Factor of 394 mV/mm (10 mV/mil). Operation at voltages more positive than -23.5 Vdc without barriers can result in a restricted linear range, making proper loop voltage verification critical during commissioning.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
What makes the 330878-51-05 unique in terms of measurement capability?
The 330878-51-05 features a large diameter coil that delivers a maximum linear range of 27.9 mm (1100 mils), which is the longest linear range available within the eddy current transducer product line.
What is the primary application of the 330878-51-05?
The sensor is primarily used for measuring differential expansion (DE) and rotor expansion (RX) in large steam turbine generators, enabling accurate monitoring of thermal growth during various operating conditions.
Why is monitoring differential expansion important in turbines?
Monitoring differential expansion is critical because it tracks the difference in expansion rates between the turbine rotor and the stator casing. This helps prevent mechanical contact between rotating and stationary parts, reducing the risk of severe equipment damage.
What system length and component pairing parameters must be verified when integrating the Bently-Nevada 330878-51-05 into an existing vibration rack?
The Bently-Nevada 330878-51-05 is explicitly configured for a total system length of 5.0 meters, requiring it to be paired exclusively with a matched 5-meter 3300 XL 50 mm proximity probe and specified extension cabling to maintain system calibration integrity. Mixing components of disparate lengths alters total circuit capacitance, distorts the nominal 394 mV/mm Scale Factor, and invalidates API 670 compliance.
What are the electrical output characteristics and impedance values associated with the Bently-Nevada 330878-51-05?
The Bently-Nevada 330878-51-05 provides a negative-going analog voltage output proportional to the probe-to-target gap, featuring an output resistance of 50 Ω. This low output impedance allows long signal transmission runs to monitoring racks without significant signal attenuation or susceptibility to background electrical noise.
What wire gauge and connection protocols are supported by the terminal blocks of the Bently-Nevada 330878-51-05?
The Bently-Nevada 330878-51-05 utilizes SpringLoc terminal strips designed for bare or ferruled stranded wires ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG). The spring-clamp mechanism requires no special torquing tools, maintaining constant clamping force against thermal expansion and high-vibration industrial conditions.
