Discussion on "Inspection of stator cores in large machines with a low yoke induction method-measurement and analysis of interlamination short-circuits" [Comments and author's reply]

The authors comment on the paper by Z. Posedel (see ibid., vol.16, no.1, p.81-6, 2001) describing a method which provides useful information on core condition and also makes comparisons with the well established El Cid low induction test method and high induction infrared tests. In some instances assumptions made on these alternative techniques are not accurate and conclusions on the comparative effectiveness of these tests are therefore not fully substantiated. The original author replies to the comments.
