Water hamme therefore, may be defined as variation in pressure above or below the internal pressure Quik closing of turbine to an increased pressure penstock which will retard the velocity of gradient moves up from AJ to AB as shown called the positive water hammer gradient. w figure below. This position is Change in hydraulic gradient with decrease in load As $001 b po s the turbine gate movement stops, the supemnormal pressure then existing s unstable and the gradient begins to swing to AC. Fluctuations between re and negative pressure will continue until dampened by friction Conversely when there is sudden demand of power, the turbine gates start opening ‘and the hydraulic gradient moves down from EI to EG, This position is called negative water hammer, When the gate movement ceases the negative pressure EG swings to positive pressure EF.
