Construction Frame The stator frame is made of welded steel construction and manufactured with thick steel plates to prevent distortion during operation. Robust and rugged, these frames are designed to withstand the mass of a stator core, bending stresses and deflections. The frames are designed to minimize vibrations and noise levels. The frame bore is machined to ensure a uniform air gap between the rotor and stator, thereby minimizing the unbalanced magnetic pull. These frames are designed to withstand the extreme stresses due to short circuits. Each machine is designed to be assembled...

Insulation Mica composite, epoxy resin and vacuum-pressure impregnation (VPI) provide a robust and reliable insulation system. The advanced insulation system on all large machines will typically reward you with years of reliable operation. GE’s insulation system is designed to minimize the effect of localized electrical stress and reduce the effects of partial discharge while increasing machine life and reliability. Components are selected to ensure reliability of the system as a whole. The insulation system can meet applicable standards. All wound stators undergo global vacuumpressure...

Excitation Brushless Excitation System with enamel covered round copper wire. The whole assembly then undergoes a varnish treatment. The exciter stator core is made of laminated, hot rolled or cold rolled steel, held together by steel endplates. The rectifier hub includes liberally rated diodes. The leads from the armature are connected directly to the hub, and the two DC output leads from the hub are connected to the main field and clamped to prevent movement. The exciter is a three-phase AC generator with a rotating threephase bridge rectifier. The DC field coils are wound in a concentric...

Bearings Bearings Vertical There is a standard arrangement for the bearings configuration: thrust and guide bearing at NDE side and only guide bearing at DE side. NDE thrust bearing is assembled into a housing, which is bolted at the upper endshield, and the upper endshield is bolted against the stator frame. NDE guide bearing works in contact with a thrust block, which is the piece that connects the rotor shaft to the thrust bearing surface, by means of a key connection in the shaft. High-pressure oil lift systems are frequently supplied at NDE thrust bearing to allow easy start-up (due to...

Cooling System Enclosure and Ventilation The generator is designed for open enclosure (WPI, IP23/24) or totally enclosed air-to-water (TEWAC/CACW) cooling system (top or bottom cooling). Air is circulated inside the machine by two internal fans and the rotor. The radial ducts in the stator core, the design of the end windings and a careful review of the air path, ensure temperature uniformity in all parts of the machine. Bottom Mounted Cooling Cooling circuit for vertical generators

Options and Accessories Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) PERMANENT MAGNET GENERATOR EXCITER FIELD (PERM. MAGNET) The AVR utilizes a fast response microprocessor to control its AC to DC converter power stage output that provides excitation to the generator to regulate the difference between the generator stator voltage reference set point and feedback signal to zero. Reactive power sharing during parallel operation of generator with other generators or a power system is achieved by the use of droop compensation where the voltage feedback signal is increased by typically 0% to 5% as lagging...
