4.5.1 STATOR
The generator stator is a tight construction supporting and enclosing stator winding,
core and hydrogen cooling medium. Hydrogen is contained within frame and circulated
by fans mounted at either end of rotor. The generator is driven by direct coupled steam
turbine at the speed of 3000 rpm.The generator is designed for continuous rated output.
Temperature detector and other device installed or connected within machine, permit
the windings core and hydrogen temperature, pressure, and purity in machine.
19
determined by the cooling circuit for the flow of the gas and required mechanical
strength and stiffness. The natural frequency of the stator body is well away from any of
exiting frequencies. Inner and sidewalls are suitably blanked to house for longitudinal
hydrogen gas coolers inside the stator body. It supports the laminated core and winding
the stator comprises an inner frame and outer frame. The inner cage is usually fixed in
the yoke by an arrangement of spring to damper the double frequency vibrations
inherent in two pole generator.
The fabricated inner cage is inserted in the outer frame after the stator core has been
constructed and the winding completed. Footings are provided the stator foundation
shields enclose the ends of heavy end frame and form mounting of generator bear and
radial shaft. R is subdividing the frame and axial members to form ducts from which the
cooling given to end from radial duct in the core and is recirculated. The horizontally
mounted water cooled gas coolers being so arranged that it may be cleaned on the water
side without opening the machine to atmosphere. All welded joints exposed to
hydrogen are specially made to prevent leakage. The complete frame is subjected to
hydraulic test at a pressure of 7 atm.
20
4.5.3 STATOR CORE
It consists of thin laminations. Each lamination made of number of individual segments.
Segments are stamped out with accurately finished die from the sheets of cold rolled
high quality silicon steel. Before insulation on with varnish each segment is carefully
debarred. Core is stacked with lamination segments. Segments are assembled in an
interleaved manner from layer to layer for uniform permeability. Stampings are held in
a position by 20 core bars having dovetail section. Insulating paper pressboards are also
put between the layer of stamping to provide additional insulation and to localize short
circuit. Stampings are hydraulically compressed during the stacking procedure at
different stages. Between two packets one layer of ventilating segments is provided.
Steel spacers are spot welded on stamping.
These spacers from ventilating ducts where the cold hydrogen from gas coolers
enter the core radially inwards there by taking away the heat generated due to eddy
current losses. The pressed core is held in pressed condition by means of two massive
non-magnetic steel castings of press ring. The press ring is bolted to the ends of core
bars. The pressure of the pressure ring is transmitted to stator core stamping through
press fringes of non-magnetic steel and duralumin placed adjacent to press ring. To
avoid-heating of press ring due to end leakage flow two rings made of copper sheet are
used on flux shield. The ring screens the flux by short-circuiting. To monitor the
formation of hot spots resistance transducer are placed along the bottom of slots. To
ensure that core losses are within limits and there are no hot spots present in the core.
The core loss test is done after completion of core assembly.
21
consists of solid as well as hollow conductor with cooling water passing through the
latter. Alternate arrangement hollow and solid conductors ensure an optimum solution
for increasing current and to reduce losses. The conductors of small rectangular cross
section are provided with glass lapped strand insulation. A separator insulates the
individual layers from each other.

the thermometer is to be placed between the insulated coil sides. The length of the
resistance thermometer depends upon the length of armature. The leads from the
detectors are brought out and connected to the terminal board for connection to
temperature meter or relays operation of RTD is based on the prime that the “electric
resistance of metallic conductor varies linearly with temperature.”
4.5.7 ROTOR
Rotor revolves in most modern generator at speed of 3000 revolutions per minute. It is
also as electromagnet and to give it necessary magnetic strength, the winding must
carry a very high current. The passage of current through windings generates heat. But
the temperature must not be allowed to become too high, otherwise difficulties will be
experienced with insulation. To keep the temperature cross section of the conductors
could not be increased but this would introduce another problems. In order to make
room for large conductor, body and this would cause mechanical weakness. With good
design and great care this problem can be solved.
24
Fig. 4.3 Rotor Shaft
Rotor shaft is a single piece forming manufactured castings. It is forged from a vacuum
cast steel slots for insulation of the field winding are made into the rotor body. The
longitudinal slots are distributed over the circumference. To ensure that a high quality
product is obtained, strength of material analysis and ultrasonic are performed during
the manufacturing rotor. The high mechanical stress resulting from the centrifugal force
and short circuit, torque called for a high specified mechanical and magnetic properties
as well as homogenous forging.
After completion, the rotor is balanced in the various planes and different speed
and then subjected to an over speed test at 120% of rotor speed. The rotor consist of
electrically active portion and two shaft end approximately 60 b% of rotor body
circumference have longitudinal slots which holds the field winding. Slots pitch is
selected so that the two solid poles are displaced by 180 degree the rotor wedges act as
damper winding within the range of winding slots. The rotor teeth at the rotor body are
provided in radial and axial poles enabling cooling air to be discharged.
25
each of which consist of two half turns connected by brazing in end section. The
individual turn of coil are insulated against each other by interlayer insulation. L-shaped
strip of laminated epoxy glass fiber with nomex filter are used for slot insulation.
The slot wedges are made up of high electrical conductivity material and thus act
as damper winding. At their ends, the slots wedges are short circuited through the rotor
body. When rotor is rotating at high speed, the centrifugal forces tries to lift the winding
out of slots, they are contained by wedges.
4.6 CONSTRUCTION
The field winding consist several series connected coils into the longitudinal slots of
body. The coil are wound that two poles are obtained. The solid conductors have a
rectangular cross-section and are provided axial slots for radial or cooling air. All
conductors have identical copper and cooling section.
4.6.2 INSULATION
The insulation between the individual turns is made up of layer of glass fiber laminate
the coils are insulated from the rotor body with L-shaped strip of glass fiber laminate
with nomex interlines to obtain the required leakage path between the coil and rotor
body thick top strips of glass fiber laminate are inserted below wedge. The top strip are
provided with axial slots of same cross-section and spacing and used on the rotor
winding.
26
4.6.3 END WINDING BRACING
The spaces between the individual’s coils in the end working are with insulated
members that prevent coil movement the insulation by H or L high glass lamination.
One end of each ring is shrunk fitted on the rotor body while the other hand
overhangs the end winding without contact on the rotor shaft. This ensures
unobstructed shaft deflection at end windings. The shrunk on hub on the end of the
retaining ring serves to reinforce the retaining ring and serves the end winding in the
axial direction. At the same time, a snap ring is provided against axial displacement of
retaining ring. The shrunk slot of current. To reduce the stray losses and have high
strength, the rings are made up of non-magnetic cold worked material.
4.7 BEARINGS
The turbo generators are provided with pressure lubricated self-aligning type bearing to
ensure higher mechanical stability and reduced vibration in operation. The bearings are
provided with suitable temperature element due to monitor bearing metal temperature in
operation.
27
The temperature of each bearing monitored with two RTD’s (resistance thermo
detector) embedded in the bearing sleeve such that the measuring point is located
directly below Babbitt. These RTDs are monitored temperature scanner in the control
panel and if the temperature exceeds the prescribe limit. Bearing have provision for
vibration pickup to monitor shaft vibration.
To prevent damage to the journal due to shaft current, bearings and coil piping
on either side of the non-drive and bearings are insulated from the foundation frame.
For fascinating and monitoring the healthiness of bearing insulation, shaft insulation is
provided
28
4.8.2 COOLING SYSTEM
4.8.2.1 STATOR COOLING SYSTEM
The stator winding is cooled by distillate water which is fed from one end of the
machine by Teflon tube and flows through the upper bar and returns back through the
lower bar of a slot. Turbo generator requires water cooling arrangement over and above
the usual hydrogen cooling arrangement. The stator is cooled in this system by
circulating demineralized water trough hollow conductors. The cooling was used for
cooling of stator winding and for the use of very high quality of cooling water.
29
4.8.2.2 ROTOR COOLING SYSTEM
The rotor is cooled by means of gap pickup cooling, where in the hydrogen gas in the
air gap is sucked through the scoops on the rotor and is directed to flow along the
ventilating canals milled on the sides of the rotor coil, to the bottom of slot where it
takes a turn and comes out on the similar canal milled on the other side of the rotor coil
to the hot zone of the rotor, Due to the rotation of the rotor, a positive section as well as
discharge is created due to which a certain quantity of a gas flow and cools the rotor.
The method of cooling gives uniform distribution of temperature. Also this method has
an inherent of eliminating the deformation of copper due to varying temperature.
30
4.10 EXCITATION SYSTEM
4.10.1 EXCITER
The basic use of given exciter system is to produce necessary DC for turbo generator
system. Principal behind this that PMG is mounted on the common shaft which
generate electricity and that id fed too yoke of main exciter
This exciter generates electricity and this is of AC in nature. This AC is that converted
into DC and is that fed to turbo generator via C/C volt for rectifying purpose. We have
for RC bock and diode circuit. The most beautiful feature is of this type of exciter is
that is automatically divides the magnitude of current to be circulated in rotor circuit.
This happens with the help of AVR regulator which means automatic voltage regulator.
A feedback path is given to this system which compares theoretical value to
predetermine and then it sends the current to rotor as per requirement.
31
3. Three phase pilot exciter
4. Metering and supervisory equipment.
The brushes exciter is an AC exciter with rotating armature and stationery field. The
armature is connected to rotating rectifier brides for rectifying AC voltage induced to
armature to DC voltage. The pilot exciter is a PMG (permanent magnet generator). The
PMG is also an AC machine with stationery armature and rotating field. When the
generator rotates at the rated speed, the PMG generates 220 V at 50 hertz to provide
power supply to automatic voltage regulator. A common shaft carries the rectifier
wheels the rotor of main exciter and the permanent magnet rotor of pilot exciter. The
shaft is rigidly coupled to generator rotor and exciter rotors are than supported on these
bearings.
