Operation Beyond ContractCommitment

2.0-0050-0500/10609E

The Turbogenerator set has been designed andmanufactured to meet the contract commitment asregards to the capability for the continuous operationor variable load operation below maximum continuousrating with an aim to achieve objective of securinglong life and trouble free operation.

Because of the margin provided in the design, itmay be possible to operate the turbogenerator atoverloads for the time specified in the manual.However, such operations although possible for theshort time will encroach upon the design margin builtinto the generator.

The Turbogenerator is designed to operate withinthe temperature rise in accordance with EC standard.Operating the generator in excess of the capabilitycurves which are part of this O & M Manual will cause

increase in Copper temperature, thermal expansionand higher insulation stresses. Such operation is notpermitted by the manufacturer.

Continued operation of unit without recommendedscheduled maintenance will eventually result inincreased maintenance and reduction in the usefullife of the machine. BHEL cannot be responsible forany malfunctioning occurring as a result of operationbeyond the contract limits and operation of machinewithout carrying out scheduled maintenance/inspection. Such operation if undertaken by the usermust be at his own risk.

BHEL reserves the right of changing the operationand maintenance instructions based on experiencegained.

Design and Cooling System

2.1-1100-0500/10609 E

1. General

The two-pole generator uses direct water coolingfor the stator winding, phase connectors and bushingsand direct hydrogen cooling for the rotor winding. Thelosses in the remaining generator components, such asiron losses, windage losses and stray losses, are alsodissipated through hydrogen.

The generator frame is pressure-resistant and gastight and equipped with one stator end shield on eachside. The hydrogen coolers are arranged vertically insidethe turbine end stator end shield.

The generator consists of the following components :

• StatorStator frameEnd shieldsStator coreStator windingHydrogen coolers

• RotorRotor shaftRotor windingRotor retaining ringsField connections

• BearingsShaft seals

The following additional auxiliaries are required forgenerator operation :

• Oil system• Gas system• Primary water system• Excitation system

2 Cooling System

The heat losses arising in the generator interior aredissipated to the secondary coolant (raw water,condensate etc.) through hydrogen and primary water.

Direct cooling essentially eliminates hot spots anddifferential temperatures between adjacent componentswhich could result in mechanical stresses, particularlyto the copper conductors, insulation, rotor body andstator core.

3. Hydrogen Cooling Circuit

The hydrogen is circulated in the generator interiorin a closed circuit by one multi-stage axial-flow fanarranged on the rotor at the turbine end. Hot gas is drawn

by the fan from the air gap and delivered to the coolers,where it is re-cooled and then divided into three flowpaths after each cooler.

Flow path I is directed into the rotor at the turbineend below the fan hub for cooling of the turbine end halfof the rotor.

Flow path II is directed from the coolers to theindividual frame compartments for cooling of the statorcore.

Flow path III is directed to the stator end windingspace at the excitor end through guide ducts in the framefor cooling of the exciter end half of the rotor and of thecore end portions.

The three flows mix in the air gap. The gas is thenreturned to the coolers via the axial-flow fan.

The cooling water flow through the hydrogencoolers should be automatically controlled to maintain auniform generator temperature level for various loadsand cold water temperatures.

4. Cooling of Rotor

For direct cooling of the rotor winding, cold gas isdirected to the rotor end windings at the turbine andexcitor ends. The rotor winding is symmetrical relativeto the generator center line and pole axis. Each coilquarter is divided into two cooling zones. The first coolingzone consists of the rotor end winding and the secondone of the winding portion between the rotor body endand the mid-point of the rotor. Cold gas is directed toeach cooling zone through separate openings directlybefore the rotor body end. The hydrogen flows througheach individual conductor in closed cooling ducts. Theheat removal capacity is selected such thatapproximately identical temperatures are obtained forall conductors. The gas of the first cooling zone isdischarged from the coils at the pole center into acollecting compartment within the pole area below theend winding. From there the hot gas passes into the airgap through pole face slots at the end of the rotor body.The hot gas of the second cooling zone is dischargedinto the air gap at mid-length of the rotor body throughradial openings in the hollow conductors and wedges.

5. Cooling of Stator Core

For cooling of the stator core, cold gas is admittedto the individual frame compartments via separatecooling gas ducts.

From these frame compartments the gas then flowsinto the air gap through slots in the core where it absorbs

Page 15: Om Manual for 500 Mw Gen-bhel

2.1-1100-0500/2 0609E

the heat from the core. To dissipate the higher losses inthe core ends, the cooling gas slots are closely spacedin the core end sections to ensure effective cooling.These ventilating ducts are supplied with cooling gasdirectly from the end winding space. Another flow pathis directed from the stator end winding space past theclamping fingers between the pressure plate and coreend section into the air gap. A further flow path passesinto the air gap along either side of the flux shield.

All the flows mix in the air gap and cool the rotorbody and stator bore surfaces. The gas is then returnedto the coolers via the axial-flow fan. To ensure that thecold gas directed to the exciter end cannot be directlydischarged into the air gap, an air gap choke is arrangedwithin the range of the stator end winding cover and therotor retaining ring at the exciter end.

6. Primary Cooling water Circuit in the Generator

The treated water used for cooling of the statorwinding phase connectors and bushings is designatedas primary water in order to distinguish it from thesecondary coolant (raw water, condensate, etc.). Theprimary water is circulated in a closed circuit anddissipates the absorbed heat to the secondary coolingwater in the primary water cooler. The pump is suppliedwith hot primary water from the primary water tank anddelivers the water to the generator via the coolers. The

cooled water flow is divided into two flow paths asdescribed in the following paragraphs.

Flow path 1 cools the stator windings. This flowpath first passes to a water manifold on the excitor endof the generator and from there to the stator bars viainsulated hoses. Each individual bar is connected to themanifold by a separate hose. Inside the bars the coolingwater flows through hollow strands. At the turbine end,the water is passed through similar hoses to anotherwater manifold and then returned to the primary watertank. Since a single pass water flow through the statoris used, only a minimum temperature rise is obtained forboth the coolant and the bars. Relative movements dueto different thermal expansions between the top andbottom bars are thus minimized.

Flow path 2 cools the phase connectors andbushings. The bushings and phase connectors consistof thick-walled copper tubes through which the coolingwater is circulated. The six bushings and the phaseconnectors arranged in a circle around the stator endwinding are hydraulically interconnected so that threeparallel flow paths are obtained. The primary water entersthree bushings and exits from the three remainingbushings.

The secondary water flow through the primary watercooler should be controlled automatically to maintain auniform generator temperature level for various loadsand cold water temperatures.

Stator

2.1-1210-0500/10609 E

1. Stator Frame

The stator frame consists of a cylindrical sectionbody and two end shields which make the stator gas-tight and pressure-resistant.

The stator end shields are joined and sealed tothe stator frame with an O-ring and bolted flangeconnection. The stator frame accommodates theelectricity active parts of the stator, i.e., the stator coreand the stator windings. Both the gas ducts and alarge number of welded circular ribs provide for therigidity of the stator frame. Ring-shaped supports forresilient core suspension are arranged between thecircular ribs. The generator cooler is subdivided intocooler sections arranged vertically in the turbine sidestator end shield. In addition, the stator end shieldscontain the shaft seal and bearing components. Feetare welded to the stator frame and end shields tosupport the stator on the foundation. The stator isfirmly connected to the foundation with anchor boltsthrough the feet.

2. Stator Core

The stator core is s tacked f rom insulatedelectrical sheet-steel laminations and mounted insupporting rings over insulated dovetailed guide bars.Axial compression of the stator core is obtained byclamping fingers, pressure plates, and non-magneticthrough-type clamping bolts, which are insulated fromthe core. The supporting rings form part of an innerframe cage. This cage is suspended in the outer frameby a large number of separate flat springs distributedover the entire core length. The flat springs aretangentially arranged on the circumference in setswith three springs each, i.e. two vertical supportingsprings on both sides of the core and one horizontalstabilizing spring below the core. The springs are soarranged and tuned that forced vibrations of the coreresulting from the magnetic field will not be transmittedto the frame and foundation.

The pressure plates and end portions of thestator core are effectively shielded against straymagnetic fields. The flux shields are cooled by flowof hydrogen gas directly over the assembly.

Stator Winding

2.1-1230-0500/10609 E

1. Construction

Stator bars, phase connectors and bushings aredesigned for direct water cooling. In order to minimizethe stray losses, the bars are composed of separatelyinsulated strands which are transposed by 540° in theslot portion and bending, the end turns are likewisebonded together with baked synthetic resin fillers.

The bars consist of hollow and solid strandsdistributed over the entire bar cross-section so thatgood heat dissipation is ensured. At the bar ends, allthe solid strands are jointly brazed into a connectingsleeve and the hollow strands into a water box fromwhich the cooling water enters and exits via tefloninsulating connection between top and bottom barsis made by a bolted connection at the connectingsleeve.

The water manifolds are insulated from the statorframe, permitting the insulation resistance of thewater-filled winding to be measured. During operation,the water manifolds are grounded.

2. Micalastic High-Voltage Insulation

High-voltage insulation is provided according tothe proven Micalastic system. With this insulatingsystem, several half-overlapped continuous layers ofmica tape are applied to the bars. The mica tape isbuilt up from large area mica splittings which aresandwiched between two polyester backed fabriclayers with epoxy as an adhesive. The number oflayers, i.e., the thickness of the insulation dependson the machine voltage. The bars are dried undervacuum and impregnated with epoxy resin which hasvery good penetrat ion propert ies due to i ts lowviscosity. After impregnation under vacuum, the barsare subjected to pressure, with nitrogen being used

as pressur iz ing medium (VPI process) . Theimpregnated bars are formed to the required shapein molds and cured in an oven at high temperature.The high-voltage insulation obtained is nearly void-free and is characterized by its excellent electrical,mechanical and thermal properties in addition to beingfully waterproof and oil-resistant. To minimize coronadischarges between the insulation and the slot wall,a final coat of semiconducting varnish is applied tothe surfaces of all bars within the slot range. Inaddition, all bars are provided with an end coronaprotection, to control the electric field at the transitionfrom the slot to the end winding and to prevent theformation of creepage spark concentrations.

3. Bar Support System

To protect the stator winding against the effectsof magnet ic forces due to load and to ensurepermanent firm seating of the bars in the slots duringoperation, the bars are inserted with a top ripple springlocated beneath the slot wedge. The gaps betweenthe bars in the stator end windings are completelyfilled with insulating material which in turn is fullysupported by the frame. Hot-curing conforming fillersarranged between the stator bars and the support ringensure a firm support of each individual bar againstthe support ring. The bars are clamped to the supportring with pressure plates held by clamping bolts madefrom a high-strength insulating material. The supportring is free to move axially within the stator frame sothat movements of the winding due to thermalexpansions are not restricted.

The stator winding connections are brought outto six bushings located in a compartment of weldednon-magnetic steel below the generator at the exciterend. Current transformers for metering and relayingpurposes can be mounted on the bushings.

Rotor

2.1-1300-0500/10609E

1. Rotor Shaft

The rotor shaft is a single-piece solid forgingmanufactured from a vacuum casting. Slots for insertionof the field winding are milled into the rotor body. Thelongitudinal slots poles are obtained. The rotor poles aredesigned with transverse slots to reduce twice systemfrequency rotor vibrations caused by deflections in thedirection of the pole and neutral axis.

To ensure that only high-quality forging is used,strength tests, material analysis and ultrasonic tests areperformed during manufacture of the rotor.

After completion, the rotor is balanced in variousplanes at different speeds and then subjected to anoverspeed test at 120% of rated for two minutes.

2. Rotor Winding

The rotor winding consists of several coils whichare inserted into the slots and series connected suchthat two coil groups form one pole. Each coil consists ofseveral series connected turns, each of which consistsof two half turns which are connected by brazing in theend section.

The rotor winding consists of si lver-bearingdeoxidized copper hollow conductors with two lateralcooling ducts. L-shaped strips of laminated epoxy glassfiber fabric with Nomex filler are used for slot insulation.

The slot wedges are made of high-conductivity materialand extend below the shrunk seat of the retaining ring.The seat of the retaining ring is silver-plated to ensure agood electrical contact between the slot wedges androtor retaining rings. This system has long proved to bea good damper winding.

3. Retaining Rings

The centrifugal forces of the rotor end windings arecontained by single-piece rotor retaining rings. Theretaining rings are made of non-magnetic high-strengthsteel in order to reduce stray losses. Each retaining ringwith its shrink-fitted insert ring is shrunk onto the rotorbody in an overhung position. The retaining ring issecured in the axial position by a snap ring.

4. Field Connections

The field current is supplied to the rotor windingthrough radial terminal bolts and two semicircularconductors located in the hollow bores of the exciter androtor shafts. The field current leads are connected tothe exciter leads at the exciter coupling withmulticontact plug-in contact which allow forunobstructed thermal expansion of the field currentleads.

The hydrogen cooler is a shell and tube type heatexchanger which cools the hydrogen gas in thegenerator. The heat removed from the hydrogen isdissipated through the cooling water. The cooling waterflows through the tubes, while the hydrogen is passedaround the finned tubes.

The hydrogen cooler is subdivided into identicalsections which are vertically mounted in the turbine-endstator end shield. The cooler sections are solidly boltedto the upper half stator end shield, while the attachmentat the lower water channel permits them to move freelyto allow for expansion.

The cooler sections are parallel-connected on theirwater sides. Shut-off valves are installed in the linesbefore and after the cooler sections. The required coolingwater flow depends on the generator output and it isadjusted by control valves on the hot water side.Controlling the cooling water flow on the outlet sideensures an uninterrupted water flow through the coolersections so that proper cooler performance will not-beimpaired.

2.1-1510-0500/10609E

The hydrogen side seal oil pressure required at theseals is controlled separately for each shaft seals byrespective pressure equalizing valves, according to thepreset pressure difference between the hydrogen sideand air side seal oil.

Oil drained from the hydrogen side is returned tothe seal oil tank via the generator pre-chambers. Twofloat-operated valves keep the oil level at apredetermined level, thus preventing gas from enteringthe suction pipe of the seal oil pump (hydrogen side).The low level float-operated valve compensates for thelow oil level in the tank by admitting oil from the air sideseal oil circuit. The high level float-operated valve drainsexcess oil into the seal oil storage tank. The hydrogenentrapped in the seal oil comes out of the oil in the sealoil storage tank and is extracted by the bearing vaporexhauster for being vented to the atmosphere above thepower house roof. During normal operation, the high levelfloat-operated drain valve is usually open to return theexcess air side seal oil, which flowed to the hydrogenside via the annular gaps of the shaft seals, to the airside seal oil circuit.

2.3 Air Side Seal Oil CircuitThe air side seal oil is drawn from the seal oil

storage tank and delivered to the seals via a cooler andfilter by seal oil pump 1. In the event of its failure, sealoil pump 2 automatically takes over the seal oil supply.Upon failure of seal oil pump 2, the standby seal oil pumpis automatically started and takes over the seal oil supplyto the shaft seals. In the event of a failure of the seal oilpump of the hydrogen side seal oil circuit, the seal oil istaken from the air side seal oil circuit.

The air side seal oil pressure required at the sealsis controlled by differential pressures valve A1 accordingto the preset value, i.e. the required pressure differencebetween seal oil pressure and hydrogen pressure. In theevent of a failure, i.e. when the seal oil for the seals isobtained from the standby seal oil pump, differentialpressure valve A2 takes over this automatic controlfunction.

The seal oil drained from the air side of the shaftseals is directly returned to the seal oil storage tank.

following reasons.

• To prevent the formation of a vacuum due todifferent thermal expansions of the primary water& tank.

• To ensure that the primary water in the pumpsuction line is at a pressure above atmosphericpressure so as to avoid pump cavitation.

• To ensure that the primary water circuit is at apressure above atmospheric pressure so as toavoid the ingress of air on occurrence of a leak.

3 Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Supply

As a precaution against explosive hydrogen airmixtures, the generator must be filled with an inertgas (CO2) prior to H2 filling and H2 removal.

The generator must be filled with CO2 until it ispositively ensured that no explosive mixture will formduring the subsequent filling or emptying procedures.

4 Compressed Air Supply

To remove CO2 from the generator, compressedair is to be admitted into the generator.

The compressed air must be clean and dry. Forthis reason, a compressed air filter is installed in thefilter line.

5 Nitrogen (N2) Supply

Nitrogen is required for removing the hydrogenor air during primary water f i l l ing and emptyingprocedures.

1 General

The pr imary water requi red for cool ing iscirculated in a closed circuit by a separate pump. Toensure uninterrupted generator operation, two full-capacity pumps are provided. In the event of a failureof one pump, the standby pump is immediately readyfor service and cuts in automatically. Each pump isdriven by a separate motor.

All valves, pipes and instruments coming intocontact with the primary water are made from stainlesssteel material.

The pr imary water system consis ts of thefollowing principal components :

• Primary water tank

• Primary water pumps

• Cooler

• Primary water filter

• Fine filter

• Ion exchanger

• Alkalyser unit

As i l lustrated in the diagram, the primary wateradmitted to the pump from the tank is first passed viathe cooler and fine filter to the water manifold in thegenerator interior and then to the bushings. Afterhaving performed its cooling function, the water is

returned to the primary water tank. The gas pressureabove the water level in the primary water tank ismaintained constant by a pressure regulator.

2 Primary Water Tank

The primary water tank is located on top of thestator frame on an elastic support, thus forming thehighest point of the entire primary water circuit interms of static head.

3 Primary Water Treatment System

The direct contact between the primary water andthe high-voltage windings calls for a low conductivityof the primary water. During operation, the electricalconductivity should be maintained below a value ofapproximately 1 µmho/cm. In order to maintain sucha low conductivity i t is necessary to provide forcontinuous water treatment. During operation, a smallquantity of the primary water flow should thereforebe continuously passed through the ion exchangerlocated in the bypass of the main cooling circuit. Theion exchanger resin material required replacementduring operation of the generator, since with the watertreatment system out of service, the conductivity willrise very slowly.

Specification forIon Exchange Resins

1. General

The primary water must have a low condictivity since itcomes into direct contact with the high-voltage winding.To maintain a low conductivity the primary water requirescontinuous treatment. This is achieved by continuouslypassing a small primary water volume flow through a mixedbed ion exchanger arranged in the bypass of the maincooling circuit. The ion exchange resins must be replacedat certain intervals. The resins may be replaced while thegenerator is in operation, since with the water treatmentsystem out of service the conductivity will continue to riseonly very slowly.

2. Resin Specification

The resins should contain no impurities or soluble

substances having a detrimental effect on the materialsused in the primary water circuit and thus on the availabilityof the generator.

Our recommendation to use Lewatit ion exchangeresins is based on many years of service experience andthe close cooperation between the resin supplier and manypower plant operators as well as the high quality standardof the resins.

The initial charge of the mixed-bed ion exchangerconsists of the following types of resins.

Lewatit S 100 KR/H/chloride-freeLewatit M 500 KR/OH/chloride-free

When replacing the resins, use either the above typesor resins available from other manufacturers which mustcomply with the specification below.

Additive Specificaitonfor Alkalizer Unit

Also refer to the following information[1] 2.1-7341 Alkalizer Unit for Primary Water Circuit[2] 2.1-1885 Primary Water Specification

Despite the use of oxygen-poor water, corrosion ofcopper in the primary water circuits of water-cooledwindings, cannot be completely avoided, and in isolatedcases the corrosion products can reduce the cross-sectional flow area of the water distribution system.

The sever i ty of the corrosion at tack can besubstantially reduced by alkalizing the oxygen-poor water.In addition, the system becomes less susceptible todisturbances resulting from air in-leakage.

Operating the generator with alkaline water at pH 8 to9 will improve the reliability and availability of the turbinegenerator.

For operation of the alkalizer unit [1], dilute sodiumhydroxide for continuous injection into the primary watercircuit and lime are required.

1 Sodium Hydroxide SolutionThe sodium hydroxide solution should have a

concentration of 10 to 20 g of NaOH per dm3.

Sodium hydroxide solution should be prepared from :

Caustic Soda [NaOH] of P.A. quality, containing.NaOH : > 98%Carbonates [Na2CO3] : < 1%

Water in conformity with the primary waterspecification [2].

2 LimeA lime filter to be provided in the NaOH tank vent serves

to bind the carbon dioxide (CO2) contained in the inlet air inorder to prevent the formation of carbonates in the sodiumhydroxide solution.

The lime filter consists of equal parts of sodiumhydroxide (NaOH) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2 ). Thismixture is commercially available and known as soda lime.

Stator Frame

To facilitate manufacture, erection and transport, thestator consists of the following main components:

Stator frameEnd shieldsBushing compartment

The stator frame with flexible core suspensioncomponents, core, and stator winding is the heaviestcomponent of the entire generator. A rigid frame isrequired due to the forces and torques arising duringoperation. In addition, the use of hydrogen for thegenerator cooling requires the frame to be pressure-resistant up to an internal pressure of approximately 10bar (130 psi g).

The welded stator frame consists of the cylindricalframe housing, two flanged rings and axial and radialribs. Housing and ribs within the range of the phaseconnectors of the stator winding are made of non-magnetic steel to prevent eddy current losses, while theremaining frame parts are fabricated from structuralsteel.

The arrangement and dimensionally of the ribs aredetermined by the cooling gas passages and the requiredmechanical strength and stiffness. Diminishing is alsodictated by vibrational considerations, resulting partly ingreater wall thickness then required, from the point ofview of mechanical strength. The natural frequency ofthe frame does not correspond to any exciting frequency.

Two lateral supports for flexible core suspension inthe frame are located directly adjacent to the pointswhere the frame is supported on the foundation. Due tothe rigid design of the supports and foot portion, theforces due to weight and short-circuits will not result inany over-stressing of the frame.

Manifolds are arranged inside the stator frame at thebottom and top for filling the generator with CO2 and H2

. The connections of the manifolds are located side byside in the lower part of the frame housing.

Additional openings in the housing, which are sealedgastight by pressure-resistant covers, afford access tothe core clamping flanges of the flexible core suspensionsystem and permit the lower portion of the core to beinspected. Access to the end winding compartments ispossible through manholes in the end shields.

In the lower part of the frame at the exciter end anopening is provided for bringing out the winding ends.The generator terminal box is flanged to this opening.

Stator End shields

The ends of the stator frame are closed by pressurecontaining end shields. The end shields feature a highstiffness and accommodate the generator bearings, shaftseals and hydrogen coolers. The end shields arehorizontally split to allow for assembly.

The end shields contain the generator bearings. Thisresults in a minimum distance between bearings andpermits the overall axial length of the TE end shields to beutilized for accommodation of the hydrogen cooler sections.Cooler wells are provided in the end shield on both sidesof the bearing compartment for this purpose. One manholein both the upper and lower half end shield provided.

Inside the bearing compartment the bearing saddle ismounted and insulated from the lower half end shield. Thebearing saddle supports the spherical bearing sleeve andinsulates it from ground to prevent flow of shaft currents.

The bearing oil is supplied to the bearing via a pipepermanently installed in the end shield and is then passedon to the lubricating gap via ducts in the lower bearingsleeve. The bearing drain oil is collected in the bearingcompartment and discharged from the lower half ofthe end shields via a pipe.

Fig.1 TE Stator End Shield

The bearing compartment is seated on the air sidewith labyrinth rings. On the hydrogen side the bearingcompartment is closed by the shaft seal and labyrinthr ings. The oi l for the shaft seal is admitted viaintegrally welded pipes. The seal oil drained towardsthe air side is drained together with the bearing oil.The seal oil drained towards the hydrogen side is firstcollected in a gas and oil tight chamber below thebearing compartment for defoaming and then passedvia a siphon to the seal oil tank of the hydrogen sideseal oil circuit.

The static and dynamic bearing forces are directlytransmitted to the foundation via lateral feet attachedto the lower half end shield. The feet can be detachedfrom the end shield, since the end shields must belowered into the foundation opening for rotor insertion.

3 Anchoring and Aligning the Stator Frame andEnd Shields to the Foundation

The stator frame is anchored to the foundation withanchor bolts in conjunction with aligning elements andsole plates set in grout on the foundation.

The levelling screws are screwed into the supportfoot of the frame and permit a rapid and exacta l ignment of the stator. To ensure a uni formtransmiss ion of forces these are arrangedsymmetrically about the anchor bolts. The sphericalportions of the levell ing screws ensure completecontact and thus a rigid connection between statorand foundation.

The stator end shields are aligned on the machinesole plates with shims.

Different thermal expansion of the stator and thefoundation result in differential movements betweenthe frame and machine sole plates. The stator istherefore fixed in position in a manner allowing forexpansion while retaining al ignment. Fixed keyslocated at the feet in the middle of the stator framesecure the frame axially in a central position.

1 Hydraulic Testing of Stator Frame

The empty stator frame with attached end shieldsand terminal box is subjected to hydraulic test at 10bar to ensure that it will be capable of withstandingmaximum explosion pressures. The water pressureis increased in steps with pressure being reduced toatmospheric pressure after each step, to allow formeasurement of any permanent deformation.This test also checks for leakage at the weld seams.In addition, the welded structure is subjected to anair pressure test to check its gas tightness.

Stator Core

In order to minimize the hysteresis and eddy currentlosses of the rotating magnetic flux which interacts withthe core, the entire core is built up of thin laminations.Each lamination layer is made up from a number ofindividual segments.

Fig.1 Segment with Spacers

The segments are punched in one operation from0.5 mm (0.02 in.) thick electrical sheet-streetlaminations having a high silicon content, carefullydebarred and then coated with insulating varnish onboth sides. The stator frame is turned on end while thecore is stacked with lamination segments in individuallayers. The segments are staggered from layer to layerso that a core of high mechanical strength and uniformpermeability to magnetic flux is obtained. On the outercircumference the segments are stacked on insulateddovetail bars which hold them in position. One dovetailbar is not insulated to provide for grounding of thelaminated core. Stacking guides inserted into thewinding slots during stacking provide smooth slot walls.

To obtain the maximum compression and eliminateundue setling during operation, the laminations arehydraulically compressed and heated during thestacking procedure when certain heights of stack arereached. The complete stack is kept under pressureand located in the frame by means of clamping boltsand pressure plates.

The clamping bolts running through the core made

of non-magnetic steel and are insulated from the coreand the pressure plates to prevent the claiming boltsfrom short-circuiting the laminations and allowing the flowof eddy currents.

1 Clamping finger2 Stator Slow3 Pressure Plate4 Stator core tooth5 Clamping bolt6 Shield

Fig.2 Stator Core After Compression

The pressure is transmitted from the pressure platesto the core by clamping fingers. The clamping extend upto the ends of the teeth, thus ensuring a firm compressionin the area of the teeth. The stepped arrangement of thelaminations at the core ends provides for an efficientsupport of the tooth portion and, in addition, contributesto a reduction of eddy current losses and local heatingin this area. The clamping fingers are made of non-magnetic steel to avoid eddy current losses.

For protection against the effects of the stray flux inthe coil ends, the pressure plates and core end portionsare shielded by gas-cooled rings of insulation-bondedelectrical sheet-steel.

To remove the heat, space segments, placed atintervals along the bore length, divide the core intosections to provide radial passages for cooling gas flow.In the core end portions, the cooling ducts are wider andspaced more closely to account for the higher lossesand to ensure more intensive cooling of the narrow coresections.

The revolving magnetic field exerts a pull on thecore, resulting in a revolving and nearly ellipticaldeformat ion of the core which sets up a statorvibration at twice the system frequency. To reduce thetransmission of these dynamic vibrat ions to thefoundation, the generator core is spring mounted inthe stator frame. The core is supported in several setsof rings. Each ring set consists of two supporting ringsand two core clamping rings. The structural membersto which the insulated dovetail bars are bolted areuniformly positioned around to supporting ring interiorto support the core and to take up the torque actingon the core.

For firm coupling of the ring sets to the core, thesupporting ring is solidly pressed against the core by

the clamping ring. The clamping ring consists of twoparts which are held together by two c lamps.Tightening the clamps reduces the gap between thering segments so that the supporting ring is linked tothe frame by three flat springs. The core is supportedin the frame via two vertical springs in the vicinity ofthe generator feet. The lower spring prevents a lateraldeflection of the core. The flat spring are resilient toradial movements of the core suspension points andwill largely resist transmission of double frequencyvibration to the frame. In the tangential direction theyare however, sufficiently rigid to take up the short-circuit torque of the unit. The entire vibration systemis tuned so as to avoid resonance with vibrations atsystem frequency or twice the system frequency.

properties and resistance to magnetically induced forces.The bars afford maximum operating reliability, since eachcoil consists of only main insulation identical.

2. Conductor Construction

The bar consists of a large number of separatelyinsulated strands which are transposed to reduce the skineffect losses.

The strands of small rectangular cross-section areprovided with a braided glass insulation and arranged sideby side over the slot width. The individual layers are insulatedfrom each other by a vertical separator. In the straight slotportion the strands are transposed by 5400.

The transposition provides for a mutual neutralizationof the voltages induced in the individual strands due to theslot cross-field and end winding flux leakage and ensuresthat minimum circulation currents exist. The current flowingthrough the conductor is thus uniformly distributed over theentire bar cross-section so that the current-dependent losseswill be reduced.

The alternate arrangement of one hollow strand and twosolid strand ensure optimum heat removal capacity andminimum losses.

At the Roebel crossover points the insulation isreinforced with insulating strip inserts.

To ensure that the strands are firmly bonded togetherare to give dimensional stability in the slot portion, the barsare cured in an electrically heated press. Prior to applyingthe bar insulation, The bar ends are bent with a special careto ensure a uniform spacing of the bars over the entire lengthof the end turns after installation.

Contacts sleeves for electrical connection of the barsand the water boxes with cooling water connections arebrazed to the bar ends.

In the course of manufacture, the bars are subjected tonumerous electrical and leakage tests for quality control.

Micalastic High Voltage Insulation

High-quality mica, selected epoxy resins and amatching vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI)process are the character is t ic features of theMicalastic insulation for large turbogenerators. Aconsistent development has led to a high-qualityinsulation system, the reliability of which is ensuredby continuous quality control.Method of Insulationand Impregnation

For insulation with Micalastic , the conductorstrands as well as the ventilating ducts are arrangedtogether to form a compact assembly and set to therequired shape. This assembly is then baked with

epoxy resin to give it the mechanical strength requiredfor further processing.

Following this, several layers of mica tape areapplied continuously, half-overlapped, upto the endportions of the bar. The mica tape consists of a thinhigh-strength backing material to which the mica isbonded by synthetic resin. The number of layers, i.e.,the thickness of insulation, is determined by thevoltage of the machine. The taped bars are then driedunder vacuum and impregnated with epoxy resinwhich, by reason of its low viscosity penetrates theinsulation thoroughly and eliminates all voids. After

Page 57: Om Manual for 500 Mw Gen-bhel

2.1-2320-0501/2

impegnatioin under vacuum, the bars are subjectedto pressure, with nitrogen being used as pressurizingmedium (VPI process).

For d i rect cooled windings, the ind iv idualimpregnated bars are brought to the requi reddimensions in processing moulds and cured in anoven at high temperature. With indirectly cooledwindings, up to 20 stator bars are placed in moldswith by insulation for impregnation and curing. Fig.2shows a mold loaded with bars ready for impregnationprior to insertion into the impregnating plant.

To minimize corona discharges between theinsulation and the wall of the slot, the insulation inthe slot sect ion is then provided with a coat ofconductive varnish.

For end corona protection at voltages above 6kV, a semiconductive coating is also added on theslot-end sections to control the electric field andprevent the formation of creepage sparks during high-voltage tests.

The bars are now ready for insertion into the slots.In case of indirectly or direct gas-cooled stator bars,the connecting bus bars and phase connectors arealso provided with an insulat ion bonded with athermosetting synthetic resin. Dependent on theirgeometr ica l conf igurat ion and d imensions, theconnect ions are prov ided wi th mica tapes andinsulating caps.

Tests

After insulation and curing, the insulation of eachstator bar is subjected to a high- voltage test at 150%of the winding test voltage (UP= 2 ×UN + 1 kV) forquality control. For assessment of the quality of theslot insulation, the dielectic dissipatin factor tanδδδδδ ismeasured as a function of the voltage.

Fig.4 shows the fluctuations due to manufacturing ofthe maximum increase in the dielectric dissipationfactor up to rated voltage for the bars of a 21 kVwinding. The method of impregnation, which is exactlymatched to the insulation, and the use of a specialimpregnating resin enable the maximum increase indielectric dissipation factor to be reduced considerablybelow the limits specified in section 33 of VDE 0530.

During insertion of the stator bars, high-voltagetests of one minute duration are performed as follows:115% UP after installation and blocking of bottom bars110% UP after installation and blocking of top bars105% UP after completion of winding,100% UP after run of generator.

The Properties of MicalasticMicalstic is an extremely dependable winding

insulat ion system developed for h igh-vol tageturbogenerators. The insulation is applied from endto ened on the stator gbars providing effedt ivepeotection against over voltages arising during normaloperation and against the high stresses that mayoccur at the slot ends when high test voltages areappl ied. In this manner is is possible to isulatewindings for voltages of over 30 kV efficiently andreliably.

Micalastic has a long e lecter ica l l i fe asdetermined on hunndreds of experimental bars andsubstantiated on numerous full-size bars (Fig. 5).

Mcalastic is a good conductor of heat by reasonof the high mica content and the void free syntheticresin. Efficient heat transfer is particularly importantin machines that require a thick insulation becauseof the high voltages, especially if these machines arenot designed with direct conductor cooling.

Micalastic is highly resistant to high temperaturesand temperature chages. The composition of theinsulation and synthetic resin impregnation permitsthe machine to be operated cont inuously underconditions corresponding to those for insulation classF.

Micalastic insulation shows only an insignificantincrease in the dielectr ic dissipation factor withinceasing temperature.(Fig.6)

The e last ic i ty o f Mica last ic enables i t toaccomodate thermo-mechanical stesses. Studies onmodels have provided information on the on theperformance of Micalastic insulation under the effectof alternating thermal stresses. Heat cycles with largedifferences in temperature are generated by thealternate application of heating and colling. The result;there is no displacement between the Micalst icinsulationand the copper conductor, even after 5000heat cycles, with 1000 cycles between 40oC and160oC.

Micalastic owes its insesitivity to high temperatureand temperature changes to the cured synthetic resin.This favourable performance under thermal stress isparticularly advantageous for machines subject tofrequent load changes, e.g., generators driven by gasturbines or peak-load generators in steam powerplants.

Micalastic does not burn. The flammability is solow that even on arcing it does not continue to burnonce the arc is ext inguished. Fire ext inguishing

systems, such as CO2 systems, are therefore notnecessaryfor machines insulated with Micalastic.

Micalastic provides protection against moisturedue to its impregnation with synthetic resin which sealthe winding completely.

Micalastic is highly resistant to chemical action.Corrosive gases, vapours, lubrication oil and weakacids or alkalies, to which the windings of air-cooledmachines may be exposed under unfavourablecondi t ions, do not a t tack the insulat ion; theimpersonat ing res in behaves neutra l ly towardschemicals.

Micalastic retains its outstanding properties, evenafter years of operation. Evidence of its unchangingquality has been provided by repeated test carriedout on machines over an operating period of severalyears.

Coil and End Winding Support System

The stator windings are placed in rectangular slotswhich are uniformly distributed around thecircumference of the stator core. The location of thebars in the slots is illustrated in a separate drawing [1].

The bars are protected by a cemented graphitizepaper wrapper over the slot portion of the bar. The barsfit tightly in the slots. Manufacturing tolerances arecompensated with semi-conducting filler strips alongthe bar sides which ensure good contact between theouter corona protection and the slot wall.

Radial positioning of the bar is done with slotwedges. Below the longitudinally divided slot wedgesa top ripple spring of high-strength, fiber glass fabric isarranged between the filler and slide strip which pressesthe bar against the slot bottom with a specif icpreloading. An equalizing strip is inserted at the slotbottom to compensate any unevenness in the bar shapeand slot bottom surface during bar insertion. The stripis cured after insertion of the bars. These measuresprevent vibrations. The specified preloading is checkedat each slot wedge.

With the windings placed in the slots, the bar endsform a cone-shaped end winding. A small cone taper is

used to keep the stray losses at a minimum. The designand construction of the end windings are illustrated in aseparate drawing [2].

Any gaps in the end winding due to the design ormanufacturing are filled with curable plastic fillers,ensuring solid support of the cone-shaped top andbottom layers.

The two bar layers are braced with clamping bolts ofhigh-strength fibre glass fabric against a rigid, taperedsupporting ring of insulating material. Tight seating isensured by plastic filters on both sides of the bars whichare cured on completion of winding assembly.

Each end winding thus forms compact, self-supporting arches of high rigidity which prevents barvibrations during operation and can withstand short-circuit forces.

In addition, the end turn covering provides goodprotection against external damage. The supporting ringsrest on supporting brackets which are capable of movingin the axial direction. This allows for a differentialmovement between the end winding and the core as aresult of different thermal expansions.

boxes. The cooling water is then discharged from thegenerator via the hoses and the ring header.

During manufacturing of the stator bars, various checksare performed to ensure water tightness and unobstructedwater passages.

The flow check ensures that no reduction in the crosssectional area of the strand ducts has occurred, and thatall strands are passed by identical water flows. Afterbrazing of the upper part of the water box, all brazed jointsare subjected to a helium leakage test followed by athermal shock treatment.

The tangential air clearance between the water boxesand bar connections within a coil group and the axialclearance relative to the inner shield, which is at groundpotential, is so dimensioned that additional insulation isnot required. For the spaces between the individual phasesinsulating caps, which enclose both the connecting sleevesand the water boxes, are connected to the stator bars.

3 Phase Connectors

The phase connector interconnect the coil groups andlink the beginning and ends of the winding to the bushings.They consist of thick-walled copper tubes. The stator barends coupled to the phase connectors are provided withconnecting fittings which are joined to the cylindricalcontact surface with Belleville washers on the bolts tomaintain a uniform and constant contact pressure.

The phase connectors are provided with a Micalasticinsulation. In addition, a grounded outer corona protectionconsisting of a semiconducting coating is applied over theentire length. At the beginnings and ends of the phaseconnectors several layers of semi-conductive and coronaprotection is applied in varying lengths.

The phase connectors are mounted on end windingsupporting ring over supporting brackets. Neighbouringphase connectors are separated with spacers and tiedsecurely in position. This ensures a high short-circuitstrength and differential movements between phaseconnectors and end windings are thus precluded.

1 Electrical Connection of Bars

The electrical connection between the top and bottombars is by a bolted contact surface.

At their ends the strands are brazed into a connectingsleeve, the strand rows being separated from each otherby spaces. The contact surfaces of the connectingsleeves for the top and bottom bars are pressed againsteach other

by non-magnetic clamping bolts. Special care is takento obtain flat and parallel contact surfaces. In order toprevent an any reduction in contact pressure or anyplastic deformations due to excessive contact pressure,Belleville washers are arranged on the clamping boltswhich ensure a uniform and constant contact pressure.

2 Water Supply

The water connection at the stator bar is separatefrom the electrical connection. As a result no electricalforces can act on the water connection.

While the solid strands of the stator bars terminateat the connecting sleeve, the hollow strands are brazedinto water boxes, with solid spencers inserted tocompensate for the solid strands. Each water box consistof two parts, i.e. the sleeve-shaped lower part enclosingthe hollow strands and the cover-type upper part. Thestrand rows are separated from each other by splicers.

Each water box is provided with a pipe connectionof non-magnetic stainless steel for connection of thehose.

The exciter-end water boxes serve for wateradmission and distribute the cooling water uniformly tothe hollow strands of the bar. The hot water is collectedon leaving the hollow strands in the turbine-end water Fig.2 Phase Connector Ends

Terminal Bushings

1 Arrangement of Terminal Bushings

The beginnings and ends of the three phase windingsare brought out from the stator frame through terminalbushings which provide for high-voltage insulation andseal against hydrogen leakage.

The bushings are bolted to the bottom plate of thegenerator terminal box by the mounting flanges.

The generator terminal box located beneath the statorframe at the exciter end is made from non-magnetic steelto avoid eddy-current losses resulting temperature rises.

Bushing-type generator current transformers, formetering and relaying are mounted on the bushingsoutside the generator terminal box. The customer's busis connected to the air side connection flange of thebushings via terminal connectors.

2 Construction of Bushings

The cylindrical bushing conductor consists of high-conductivity copper with a central bore for direct primarywater cooling.

The insulator is wound directly over the conductor. Itconsists of impregnated capacitor paper with conductingfillers for equalization of the electrical direct-axis andquadrature-axis fields.

The shrunk-on mounting sleeve consists of a gastightcasting of nonmagnetic steel with a mounting flange anda sleeve-type extension extruding over entire height ofthe current transformers.

The cylindrical connection ends of the terminalbushing conductors are silver-plated and designed toaccommodate bottle two-part cast terminal connectors.

Connection to the beginning and end each phaseinside the terminal box and to the external bus in bymeans of flexible connectors. To maintain a uniform andconstant contact pressure Belleville washers are usedfor all bolted connections.

Covers with brazed sockets for connection to thewater supply are flanged to the ends of the terminal

Components for Water Coolingof Stator Windings

1 General

The separate water cooling circuits are used forthe stator windings and phase connectors and thebushings.

All water connections between ungrounded partsand the distribution manifolds and water manifolds ofthe cooling circuits are insulated with teflon hoses.The water connections are equipped with O-rings ofViton and Belliville washers to prevent loosening ofthe connect ion. The f i t t ings are made f romnonmagnetic stainless steel.

2 Winding Cooling Circuit

The end windings are enclosed by an annularwater manifold to which all stator bars are connectedthrough hoses. The water manifold is mounted on theholding plates of the end winding support ring andconnected to the primary water supply pipe. Thispermits the insulation resistance of the water-filledstator winding to be measured. The water manifold isgrounded during operation. For measurement of theinsulat ion res is tance, e .g. dur ing inspect ions,grounding is removed by opening the circuit outsidethe stator frame.

The hoses, one side of which is connected toground, consists of a metallic section to which themeasuring potential is applied for measurement of theinsulation resistance of the water-filled stator winding.

The cooling water is admitted to three terminalbushings via a distr ibution water manifold f lowsthrough the attached phase connectors and is thenpassed to the distribution water manifold for outlet

via the terminal bushings on the opposite side.The parallel-connected cooling circuit are checked

for uniform water flows by a flow measurement systemcovering all three phase.

The cooling primary water flows through the statorbars, which are hydraulically connected in parallel,f rom the exc i ter and to the turb ine end of thegenerator. This ensures a minimum temperature riseof the stator bars, a minimum water velocity, and aminimum head loss. Moreover, the thermalexpansions of the stator bars are completely uniform.

3 Phase Connector Cooling Circuit

Phase connectors and terminal bushing suppliedwith cooling water through pipes arranged outside thegenerator at the terminal bushing and generatorterminal box and connected to the cooling water inletsand outlet of the cooling circuit through teflon hoses.The flexible expansion joints and the hydraulicallyser ies-connected phase connector sect ions areconnected by teflon hoses.

The hoses, one side of which is connected toground, consist of a metallic section to which themeasuring potential is applied for measurement of theinsulation resistance of the water-filled stator winding.

The cooling water is admitted to three terminalbushings via a distr ibution water manifold f lowsthrough the attached phase connectors and is thenpassed to the distribution water manifold for wateroutlet via the terminal bushings on the opposite side.

Rotor Shaft

The high mechanical stresses resulting from thecentrifugal forces and short-circuit torques call for high-quality heat-treated steel. Therefore, the rotor shaft isforged from a vacuum cast steel ingot. Comprehensivetests ensure adherence to the specified mechanical andmagnetic properties as well as a homogeneous forging.

The root shaft consists of an electrically activeportion the so-called rotor body, and the two shaftjournals. Integrally forged flange couplings to connectthe rotor to the turbine and exciter are located outboardof the bearings. Approximately two-thirds of the rotorbody circumference is provided with longitudinal slotswhich hold the field winding. Slot pitch is selected so

that two solid poles are displaced by 1800.Due to the non-uniform slot distribution on the

circumference, different moments of inertia are obtainedin the main axis of the rotor. This in turn causesoscil lat ing shaft deflections at twice the systemfrequency. To reduce these vibrations, the deflection inthe direction of the pole axis and the neutral axis arecompensated by transverse slotting of the pole.

The solid poles are also provided with additionallongitudinal slots to hold the copper bars of the damperwinding. The rotor wedges act as a damper winding inthe area of the winding slots.

Cooling of Rotor Winding

Each turn is subdivided into eight parallel coolingzones. One cooling zone includes the slots from thecentre to the end of the rotor body, while anothercovers half the end winding.

The cooling gas for the slot portion is admittedinto the hollow conductors through milled openingsdirectly before the end of the rotor body and flows

through the hollow conductors to the centre of therotor body. The hot gas is then discharged into theair gap between the rotor body and the stator corethrough radial openings in the conductors and therotor slot wedges. The cooling gas passages arearranged at d i f ferent levels in the conductorassembly so that each hollow conductor has its own

cooling gas outlet.The cooling gas for the end windings is admitted

into the hollow conductors at the ends of the rotorbody. It flows through the conductors approximatelyup to the pole centre for being directed into acollecting compartment and is then discharged intothe air gap via slots.

Rotor Winding

1. Rotor Winding

1.1 ConstructionThe f ie ld winding consists of several coi ls

inserted into the longitudinal slots of the rotor body.The coils are wound around the poles so that onenorth and one south magnetic pole are obtained.

The hollow conductors have a trapezoidal cross-section and are provided with two cooling ducts ofapprox imate ly semi-c i rcu lar cross-sect ion Al lconductors have identical copper and cooling ductcross-sections.

The individual conductors are bent to obtain halfturns. After insertion into the rotor slots, these turnsare combined to form full turns, the series-connectedturns of one slot constituting one coil. The individualcoi ls of the rotor winding are electr ic i ty ser ies-connected.

1.2 Conductor MaterialThe conductors are made of copper with a silver

content of approximately 0.1%. As compared toelectrolytic copper, silver-alloyed copper features highstrength properties at higher temperatures so that coildeformations due to thermal stresses are eliminated.

1.3 InsulationThe insulation between the individual turns is

made of layers of glass fibre laminate. The coils areinsulated from the rotor body with L-shaped strips ofglass fibre laminate with Nomex filler.

To obtain the required creepage paths betweenthe coil and the frame, thick top strips of glass fibrelaminate are inserted below the slot wedges.

2. Location of Parts in the Rotor Winding

2.1 Rotor Slot WedgesTo protect the winding against the effects of the

centrifugal force, the winding is secured in the slotswith wedges. The slot wedges are made from a

copper-nickel-silicon alloy featuring high strength andgood electrical conductivity, and are used as damperwinding bar. The slot wedges extend below the shrinkseats of the retaining rings. The rings act as short-c i rcui t r ings to induced currents in the damperwindings.

2.2 End Winding BracingThe spaces between the individual coils in the

end winding are filled with insulating members whichprevent coil movement. Fig. 1 shows a typical rotorend winding with the fillers inserted.

Rotor Retaining Ring

The rotor retaining rings contain the centrifugalforces due to the end windings. One end of each ringis shrunk on the rotor body, while the other end of thering overhangs the end windings without contactingthe shaf t . This ensures an unobstructed shaf tdeflection at the end windings.

The shrunk on end ring at the free end of theretaining ring serves to reinforce the retaining ringand secures the end winding in the axial direction atthe same time.

A snap ring is provided for additional protection

against axial displacement of the retaining ring.To reduce the stray losses and retain strength, the

r ings are made of non-magnet ic , co ld-workedmaterial.

Comprehensive tests , such as u l t rasonicexamination and liquid penetrant examination, ensureadherence to the specified mechanical properties.

The retaining ring shrink-fit areas act as short-circuit rings to induce currents in the damper system.To ensure low contact resistance, the shrink seats ofthe retaining rings are coated with nickel, aluminiumand silver by a three-step flame spraying process.

1. Field Current lead at End Winding

The field current lead at the end winding consistsof hol low rectangular conductors. The hol lowconductors are inserted into shaft slots and insulated.That are secured against the effects of centrifugalforce by steel wedges. One end of each field currentlead is brazed to the rotor winding and the other endis screwed to a radial bolt. Cooling hydrogen isadmitted into the hollow conductors via radial bolts.The hot gas is discharged into the air gap togetherwith the gas used to cool the end winding.

2. Radial Bolts

The field current leads located in the shaft bore areconnected to the conductors inserted in the shaft slotsthrough radial bolts which are secured in position withslot wedges. Contact pressure is maintained with atension bolt and an expanding cone in each radial bolt.Contact pressures increase due to centrifugal forceduring operation. All contact surfaces are silver-platedto attain a low contact resistance. The radial bolt is madefrom forged electrolytic copper.

3. Field Current Lead in Shaft Bore

The leads are run in the axial direction from the radialbolt to the exciter coupling. These consist of two semi-circular conductors insulated from each other and fromthe shaft by a tube.

Hydrogen Cooler

2.1-4000-0500/10609 E

The hydrogen cooler is shell and tube type heatexchanger which cools the hydrogen gas in thegenerator. The heat removed from the hydrogen isdissipated through the cooling water. The coolingwater flows through the tubes. While the hydrogenis passed around the finned tubes.

The cooler consists of individual sections forvertical mounting. This arrangement permits thecoolers to be mounted without an increase in theoverall generator axial length or cross-sectional areaof the stator frame.

The hydrogen flows through the coolers in ahorizontal direction. The cold cooling water flowsfrom the bottom to the top of the cooler on the coldgas side and, after reversal in the return waterchannel, the heated water flows downwards on thehot gas side. This cooling water flow passage isobtained through a partition in the inlet/outlet waterchannel.

Each cooler consists of the tube bundle, theupper and lower tube-sheets, the return waterchannel and the inlet/outlet water channel. The tubeshave copper fins to obtain a larger heat transfersurface, the fins being joined to the tubes by tinning.The ends of the tubes are expanded into the upperand lower tube-sheets.

The two side walls of structural steel base thecooler and direct the hydrogen flow. They are solidlybolted to the upper tube-sheet. While the attachmentto the lower tubesheet permits them to move freelyto allow for expansion of the tube bundle.

Flexible seal strips bolted to the side walls sealthe gap between the cooler and the cooler well inthe cooler assembly, thus preventing uncooledhydrogen from flowing past the cooler.

The upper tubesheet is larger than the cooler wellopening and is used to fix the cooler. Gastight sealingof this tubesheet is done by a packing.

The return water channel is bolted to the uppertubesheet over a f lat gasket. This arrangementpermits the return water channel to be detached forcleaning, even when the generator is in operationand filled with hydrogen.

The lower tubesheet is f reely movable andcapable of fo l lowing the di f ferent ial movementbetween stator frame and cooler due to the differentthermal expansion resul t ing f rom the di f ferentmaterials and temperature.

Attached to the lower tubesheet is the inlet/outlet

water channel with its cooling water inlet and outletpipes.

A seal cap is bolted over the inlet/outlet waterchannel. The seal cap has opening for bringing outthe cooling water pipes.

Gastight sealing is done by a gland type seal whichis s imul taneously pressed against the outercircumference of the tubesheet and against thesealing face of the seal cap by a compression ring.

The cooler are parallel-connected on their watersides shut off valves are installed in the lines beforeand after each cooler. The required cooling watervolumetric flow depend on the generator output andis adjusted by a control valves on the heated waterside. Controlling the cooling water flow on the outletside ensures an uninterrupted water flow through thecoolers, with proper cooler performance not beingimpaired

Generator Bearings

2.1-5000-0500/10609 E

The rotor shaft is supported in sleeve bearingshaving forced-oil lubrication. The bearings are locatedin the stator end shields. The oil required for bearinglubrication and cooling is obtained from the turbine oilsupply system and supplied to the lubricating gap viapipes permanently installed inside the lower half of thestator end shield and via grooves in the bearing saddleand lower bearing sleeve.

The lower bearing sleeve rests on the bearingsaddle via three brackets with spherical support seat forself-alignment of the bearing. The bearing saddle isinsulated from the stator end shield and the bearingbrackets are insulated from the bearing sleeve to preventthe flow of shaft currents and to provide for doubleinsulation of the generator bearing from ground. A radiallocator serves to locate the bearing in the verticaldirection and is bolted to the upper half of the stator endshield. The locator is adjusted to maintain the requiredclearance between the bearing sleeve and the insulationof the radial locator.

A tangential locator is located at the bearing sleevejoint to prevent the bearing from turning in the saddle.

The tangential locator is supported on the bearingsaddleover a piece of insulating material.

The inner surface of the cast bearing sleeve bodyis provided with spiral dovetail grooves which firmly holdthe babbitt liner to the bearing sleeve body. The lowerbearing sleeve has a groove to admit the bearing oil tothe bearing surface. The upper sleeve has a wideoverflow groove through which the oil is distributed overthe shaft journal and fed to the lubricating gap. The oil isdrained laterally from the lubricating gap, caught bybaffles and returned to the turbine oil tank.

All generator bearings are provided with a hydraulicshaft lift oil system to reduce bearing friction duringstartup. High pressure oil is forced between the bearingsurface and the shaft journal, lifting the rotor shaft toallow the formation of a lubricating oil film.

The bearing temperature is monitored with onedouble element thermocouple located approximately inthe plane of maximum oil f i lm pressure. Thethermocouples are screwed in position on both sides ofthe lower bearing sleeve from outside with the detectorsextending to the babbitt liner.

2.1-6000-0500/10609 E

The rotor shaft ends are brought out of thegastight enclosure through double-flow shaft seals.

With th is type of shaft seal , the escape ofhydrogen between the rotating shaft and the housingis prevented by maintaining a continuous film of oilbetween the shaft and a non-rotating floating sealring. To accomplish this, seal oil from two separatecircuits, i.e. the air side and the hydrogen side sealoil circuit, is fed to the seal ring at a pressure slightlyhigher than the hydrogen pressure. In addit ion,higher pressure air side oil is supplied to the shaftseal for thrust load compensation of the seal ring.

Hydrogen side seal oilAir side seal oilRing relief oil

Fig.1 Interchange of Oil in Annular Groove of Shaft Seal

The double-flow shaft seal is characterized by itsshor t ax ia l length, i ts independence f rom therespective axial and radial position of the shaft, andlow hydrogen losses due to absorption by the sealoil.

The two halves of the babbited seal ring float onthe shaft journal with a small clearance and areguided in the axial direction by a seal ring housingresistant to distortion and bending. The seal ring is

relatively free to move in the radial direction, but isrestrained from rotating by use of a pin. The seal ringhousing, bolted to the end shield, is insulated toprevent the flow of shaft currents. The oil is suppliedto the shaft seal at three different pressures (air sideseal oil pressures, hydrogen side seal oil pressuresand higher pressure oil for ring relief) over pipes andthe mounting flange of the seal ring housing. The airside and hydrogen side seal oil is admitted into theai r s ide and hydrogen s ide annular grooves,respectively, of the seal ring via passage in the sealring housing and seal ring. A continuous film of oil ismaintained between the shaft and the seal ring. Theclearance between shaft and seal ring is such thatfr ict ion losses are minimized and an oi l f i lm ofsuff ic ient th ickness is mainta ined wi thoutunnecessarily large oil flow. Temperature rise of theseal oil is therefore small which contributes to reliablesealing. The babbit lining of the seal ring ensure highreliability even in the event of boundary friction.

The air side seal oil pump delivers the oil at apressure maintained at >1.4 bar above the generatorhydrogen gas pressure at the shaft seal by means ofa differential pressure valve ("A" valve)

On the hydrogen side, the hydrogen-saturated sealo i l is c i rculated in a c losed c i rcui t . A pressureequalizing valve maintains the oil pressure on thehydrogen side slightly below that on the air side, thuskeeping the interchange of oil between the air andhydrogen sides to a very small value.

Air side seal oil for ring relief is fed to the annulargroove in the air side seal ring carrier and forcedbetween the seal ring and the seal ring housing. Inthis way the oil and gas pressure acting on the sealring are balanced, and the friction between the sealand seal ring housing is reduced. The seal ring is thusfree to adjust its radial position, which is importantduring the starting and shutdown period. The seal ringwill adjust its position according to the shaft positionas dictated by the oil film thickness and the vibratorycondition.

The seal ring need to allow axial displacement ofthe generator shaft, which is primarily caused byturbine expansion. This permits the shaft to slidethrough the seal ring without impairing the sealingeffect.

Seal Oil System

Shaft seals supplied with pressurized seal oil areprovided to prevent hydrogen losses at the shaft andthe ingress of air into the hydrogen-cooled generator.

Details of the shaft seal are given in a separatedescription in this manual.

As long as the seal oil pressure in the annular gapexceeds the gas pressure in the generator, no hydrogenwill escape from the generator housing. The shaft sealis supplied with seal oil by a separate system consistingof a hydrogen side seal oil circuit and an air side sealoil circuit. The oil in the seal oil system is the same asthat used in the turbine-generator journal shown.

1 Air Side Seal Oil Circuit

During normal operation, the air side seal oil pump(AC) draws the seal oil from the seal oil storage tankand feeds it to the shaft seals via coolers and filters.The seal oil supplied to the shaft seals which drainstowards the air side through the annular gaps betweenthe shaft and seal rings is returned to the seal oil storagetank.

For the air side seal oil circuit, three seal oil pumpsare provided with one of the three pumps always inoperation. In the event of a failure of the pump in service

due to a mechanical or electrical failure, the secondpump automatically takes over. If both pumps fail, theseal oil supply is taken over by the stand-by pumpwithout any interruption.

2 Hydrogen Side Seal Oil Circuit

During normal operation, the hydrogen side pumpdraws the seal oil from the seal oil storage tank andfeeds it to the shaft seal via coolers and filters. Theseal oil supplied to the shaft seals which drainstowards the hydrogen side through the annular gapsbetween the shaft and the seal rings is first collectedin the generator pre-chambers and then returned tothe seal oil tank.

By dividing the seal oil system into two separatecircuits, the hydrogen losses at the seals are kept toa minimum. Since the hydrogen side seal oil comesinto contact with only the hydrogen gas, it is saturatedwith hydrogen and contains no air. Vacuum treatmentof the seal oil and the resulting continuous hydrogenlosses are thus avoided. The air side seal oil, whichis only in contact with air, becomes saturated with air.By separating the two seal oil circuits, entry of air tothe hydrogen compartment is kept to a minimum

thereby maintaining good hydrogen purity.One seal oil pump is used for oil circulation in the

hydrogen side oil circuit. In the event of a failure ofthis pump, the seal oil to the hydrogen side annularderived from the air side oil supply circuit.

When operat ing is th is manner, a s lowdeterioration of the hydrogen purity in the generatorwill take place, since the oil f lowing towards thehydrogen side will introduce air, which will come outof the oil in the hydrogen atmosphere due to thechange in pressures. In case of prolonged operation,it may eventually become necessary to improve thehydrogen purity by gas scavenging.

3 Seal Oil Pressure Regulation

The air side and the hydrogen side seal oil circuitsare, however, in contact in the annular gaps betweenthe shaft seal. The seal oil pressures at the shaft sealare set so that the air side seal oil pressure is slightlyhigher than the hydrogen side seal oil pressure.Accordingly, a very small quantity of oil flows fromthe air side to the hydrogen side in the annular gapresulting in a gradual increase in the amount of oil inthe hydrogen side oil circuit. A float valve in seal oiltank returns the excess oil to the seal oil storage tank.The interchange of oil between the two circuit is sosmall that the aforementioned advantages of twoseparate circuit are not impaired.

Oil pressures which exceed the generator gaspressure are required to ensure proper sealing of thegenerator. With the seal oil pumps in operation, theseal oil pressure is controlled by differential pressurevalves "A" ("A" valve). The first "A" valve controls theseal oil pressure after two equal-priority ac air sideseal oil pumps. The pressure after the stand-by sealoil pump is separately controlled by the second "A"valve. Depending on the valve setting and the impulseoil pressure prevailing (seal oil pressure and hydrogencasing pressure), a larger or smaller amount of oil isreturned to the suction pipe so that the required sealoil pressures is established at the shaft seals.

The function of the "A" valves is illustrated in theattached diagram. Since the gas pressure and theimpulse oil pressure act in opposite directions, thevalve stem is moved upwards or downwards whenthese pressure become unbalanced. The valve coneis arranged so that the valve closes further for adownward movement of the valve stem (occurs atrising gas pressure or falling seal oil pressure). Thisoil flow throttling results in a rise of the air side sealoil pressure at the shaft seals. Setting of the desireddifferential pressure (set valve) to be maintained bythe valve is done by a corresponding pre-loading ofthe main bellows. The pre-loading is adjusted with acompression spring, the upper end of which is rigidlyconnected to the valve yoke, while its lower end is

linked to the valve stem by means of an adjusting nut.As may be seen on the at tached d iagram,

differential pressure valve "C" ("C" valve) serves tocontrol the seal oil pressure in the hydrogen side sealoil circuit and operates on the same principle, withthe only difference being that the air side seal oilpressures are used as impulse.

The constant differential pressure between the airs ide and the hydrogen side oi l is control led byseparate pressure equalizing control valves for eachshaft seal. The function of the pressure equalizingcontrol valve is illustrated in the attached diagram.Due to the fact that the air side and hydrogen sideseal oil pressures act in opposite directions, the valvestem is moved upwards or downwards when thesepressures are unbalanced. The valve opens furtherwith a downward movement of the valve stem (occursat rising air side seal oil pressure), resulting in a raiseof the hydrogen side seal oil pressure. Setting of thedesired differential pressure to be maintained by thevalve is done by a corresponding pre-loading of thecontrol piston.

4 Seal Oil Drains

The oil drains from the air side of the shaft sealsdischarges to the generator bearing space and isreturned to the turbine oil tank via the seal oil storagetank together with the bearing oil.

The oil drained from the hydrogen side of the shaftseals is discharged into the generator pre-chambers.The pre-chambers reduce the oil flow which permitsthe escape of entrapped gas bubbles and de-foamingof the oil. Down-stream of the pre-chambers, the oilflows are combined and returned into the seal oil tank.Float valves keep the oi l level in the tank at apredetermined level. If an excessive amount of oil issupplied to the seal oil tank, a float valve allows someoil to return to the seal oil storage tank.

The small amount of hydrogen escaping from thegenerator together with the oil does not present adanger to the generator surrounding since the oildrained on the hydrogen side is returned to the turbineoil tank only via the seal oil storage tank where themajority of the entrapped hydrogen is removed. Theseal oil storage tank is connected to the bearingvapour-exhausters which also vent the generator pre-chambers.

5 Seal Ring Relief

To ensure free movement of the seal ring, the shaftseals are provide with pressure oil for ring relief. Theoil supply for ring relief is obtained from the air sideoil circuit. The required pressure setting for each shaftseal is accomplished separately.

Bearing Vopour Exhauster

The bearing vapour exhauster establishes avacuum in the generator bearing compartmentswhich prevents the escape of oil from the bearingcompartments along the shaft . In addit ion, thebearing vapour exhausted draws off any hydrogengas which may be admit ted in to the bear ingcompartments in the event of a shaft seal failure.

The bearing vapour exhauster embodies optimumsafeguards permitting it to be used for extractinghydrogen gas from the bearing compartments.

The exhauster is driven by a three-phase motorattached perpendicular to the exhauster housing.Flanged connections are provided for the suction anddelivery pipes.

The fan impeller is directly mounted on the motorshaft. The shaft is sealed with a double-actinggrease-lubricated axial seal which works via apacking washer which is forced in the axial directionagainst the seal collar. A spring provides for a highlyflexible seal.

Seal Oil Pumps

1 General

Oil lubricated radial seals at the rotor shaft endsprevent the hydrogen gas from escaping from thegenerator to the atmosphere.

Seal oil pumps are used to supply the seal oil to theshaft seals in a closed circuit.

2 Construction and Mode of Operation

The seal oil pumps are three-screw pumps. Onedouble-thread driving rotor and two driven idler screwdare closely meshed and run with a close clearance inthe casing insert. The pump casing accommodates thecasing insert and is closed off by covers at the driveend and nondriver end.

The crew pump is suitable for rigorous service and,due to the absence of control parts sensitive to dirt,allows for relatively large variations of seal oil viscosity.

High speeds are readily attainable because all movingparts perform rotary movements only.

The main components of the pump are illustrated inthe sectional view of a screw pump.

By internalising, the helical passages in the rotorsare divided into compartments completely sealed which,while rotating progress completely uniformly and withoutundue stressing from the suction to the discharge end,thus acting like a piston. Dummy pistons compensatefor the axial thrust on the thread flank faces at thedischarge end. Axial thrust on the deep-groove ballbearing is thus eliminated.

The idler screw are hydraulically driven due tosuitable screw dimensions. The thread flanks transmitonly the torque resulting from fluid friction, which ensuresvery quiet running.

The screw pumps are driven by electric motorsthrough a coupling. The motor speed and rating arematched to the expected delivery flow and heads.

Seal Oil Cooler and Seal Oil Filter

1 Seal Oil Coolers

The air side and hydrogen side oil coolers are eachfull-capacity coolers. One is always in operation, whilethe second one serves as a stand-by. The seal oil flowcan be changed over from one cooler to the other bymeans of two interlocked three-way rotary transfervalves.

2 Seal Oil Filters

The seal oil filters are arranged directly after theseal oil coolers. The filters have a fine mesh screenwhich serves to prevent damage to the shaft seals byforeign particles entrained in the oil. By connectingtwo separate filters in series, one of the two filterscan always be maintained in operation, supplyingfiltered oil to the shaft seals. The change-over valveassembly at the filters allows one filter to be out ofservice for cleaning without interruption of the oil flow.

Gas System

2.1-7200-0500/10609 E

1. GeneralThe gas system consists of the following components:

CO2 bottle rackH2 bottle rackN2 bottle rackGas dryerGas valve rack

The design of the gas system complies with the safetyregulations according to VDE 0530. Part 3 and with theGerman pressure vessel code.

2. Hydrogen Supply

The hydrogen for the generator is supplied from ahydrogen bottle rack. The hydrogen should have a minimumpurity of 99.7%.

2.1 H2 Bottle RackThe H2 bottles are connected to the manifold on the

bottle rack. Valves on the bottles and valves on the manifoldallow replacement of individual bottles during operation.The hydrogen is stored in the steel bottles at a very highpressure. The hydrogen gas available in the manifold atbottle pressure is passed to two parallel-connectedpressure reducers for expansion to the requiredintermediate pressure and is then passed to pressurereducers on the gas valve rack for expansion to thepressure required for generator operation. Relief valveson the low-pressure sides of all pressure reducers areconnected to an outlet pipe system through which anyexcess hydrogen is passed to the atmosphere. All pressurereducers are of identical design. Single-stage constructionof the pressure reducers ensures a constant pressure,even under low or no flow conditions, and allows largevolume flow quantities of hydrogen to be reduced inpressure during the hydrogen filling procedure.

3. Carbon Dioxide Supply

As a precaution against explosive mixtures, air mustnever be directly replaced with hydrogen during generatorfilling not the hydrogen replaced directly with air during theemptying procedure. In both cases, the generator must bescavenged or purged with an inert gas, carbon dioxide(CO2) being used for this purpose.

3.1 CO2 Bottle RackThe carbon dioxide is supplied in steel bottles in the

liquid state. The bottles should be provided with risers toensure complete emptying. The arrangement of the CO2

bottle rack corresponds to that of the H2 bottle rack. Theliquid CO2, which is stored under pressure, is fed to thegas valve rack via a shutoff valve.

3.2 CO2 VaporiserAt the gas valve rack the liquid CO2 is evaporated and

expanded in a CO2 vapouriser. The heat for vaporization issupplied to the vapouriser electrically. A temperature controlis provided so that freezing of the flash evaporator isprevented, and the CO2 is admitted into the generator atthe proper temperature. One safety valve each on the high-pressure and low-pressure sides protects the pipe systemagainst inadmissible high pressure.

4 Compressed air Supply

To remove the CO2 from the generator, a compressedair supply with compressed air filter is connected to thegeneral air system of the power plant.

Under all operating conditions, except for CO2purging, the compressed air hose between the filter andthe generator pipe system should be disconnected. Thisvisible break is to ensure that no air can be admitted into ahydrogen-filled generator.

5. Gas Valve Rack and Gas Monitoring Equipment

5.1 Gas Valve RackTo aid in operation of the gas system, the gas valve

rack is furnished with a mini diagram on the face of thepanel.

The valves used in the gas system have rubber/metal-sealed valve seats to ensure gas tightness.

5.2 Casing Pressure MeasurementFor measuring and checking the gas pressure in the

generator, the gas rack is provided with a pressuretransmitter and pressure gauges for local measurement.For safety, the pressure transmitter is of an explosion proofdesign.

5.3 Electrical Purity meter SystemThe transmitter for the CO2 / H2 purity meter system on

the gas valve rack is also of an explosion proof design.The meter system operates on the thermal conductivitymethod. The meter system measures the H2 content of thegas in the generator as well as the composition of gasmixtures (CO2 / air and H2 / CO2) during filling and emptying

Page 107: Om Manual for 500 Mw Gen-bhel

2.1-7200-0500/20609 E

of the generator.

5.4 Mechanical Purity Meter SystemThe second purity meter system is a mechanical type

and uses the physical relationships between the hydrogenpressure, the speed of the generator fan, and the specificgravity of the medium. This meter system, therefore,functions only at rated speed.

5.5 Gas AnalysisIn addition, facilities are provided for gas sampling for

chemical analysis of the gas in the generator.

6. Gas Dryer

A small amount of the hydrogen circulating in thegenerator for cooling is passed through a gas drier. Thegas inlet and gas outlet pipes of the gas dryer are connectedat points of the generator with different staticheads(differential fan pressure), so that the gas is forcedthrough the dryer by the differential pressure only.

7. Nitrogen (N2 ) Supply

On a water-cooled turbine generator an additional

nitrogen supply is required for:

Removing the air above the water level in theprimary water tank during initial operation of theprimary water system.Removing the oxygen dissolved in the primary waterduring filling of the primary water system.Removing the hydrogen gas above the water levelin the primary water tank during shutdown of theprimary water systemRemoving the hydrogen gas dissolved in the primarywater during shutdown of the primary watersystem.

The N2 purge during initial operation ensures acomplete removal of the oxygen from the primary watercircuit, thus eliminating the risk of corrosion attack.

The N2 purge during shutdown prevents theformation of an explosive hydrogen-air mixture Duringoperation hydrogen may enter into the primary watertank by diffusion at the insulating hoses.

The nitrogen available from a bottle is passed to apressure reducer for expansion and admitted into theprimary water tank via the N2 supply line.

Primary Water Pumps

2.1-7320-0500/10609 E

Design Features of Primary Water Pumps

The primary water for cooling the stator winding,phase connectors and terminal bushings is circulated in aclosed system. To insure uninterrupted generatoroperation, two full-capacity primary water pump setsare provided. Either pump can be in service with otheracting as the stand-by. The standby pump is ready forservice and is automatically started without interruptingthe primary water circulation if the operating pump fails.

The primary water pumps are of a single-stagecentrifugal type with spiral casing and overhung impeller.

The pump suction is arranged axially, while the

discharge is directed radially upwards. The spiral casingis flanged to the bearing housing. The pump impeller isprovided with relief holes close to the hub so that no axialthrust is carried by the bearings. The point where the pumpshaft passes through the pump casing is sealed by meansof a water-cooler sliding-ring gland. The cooling water issupplied to the sliding-ring gland through a bypass linefrom the pump discharge. The pump shaft is supported inoil-lubricated anti-friction bearings. The oil level in thebearing housing can be checked at an oil sight glass. Thepump is connected to the three-phase AC motor by a flexiblecoupling covered by a coupling guard.

CO2 Vaporiser

Fig.1 CO2 Vaporiser

1 GeneralCO2 is used to displace air from the generator

before hydrogen filling and to displace hydrogen fromthe generator before filling the generator with air.

Since the CO2 is available in the liquid state, itmust be expanded into a gas before use. The CO2 isexpanded in a CO2 vaporiser located on the gas valverack.To prevent icing of the vaporiser it is electricallyheated.

2 Design features and mode of operation

The CO2 vaporiser consists of a tubular housingclosed by flanges at both ends. One flange carrieselectrical heating elements which are connected toterminals in the terminal box mounted external to theflange. The opposite flange contains the inlet and

outlet to the cooled copper pipe of the evaporator.The horizontally arranged housing isfilled with heat transmitting liquid to ensure a betterheat transfer to the copper pipe coil and thus to theCO2 flowing through the pipe coil.

The heat transfer l iquid is f i l led into the CO2

vaporiser through the expansion vessel mounted ontop of the housing. For protection against excessivepressures in the CO2 line, one relief valve is arrangedbefore and after the CO2 flash evaporator.

The orifice at the CO2 out let of the expansionvessel provides for an expansion of the CO2 obtainedfrom the bottles to a pressure of 25 to 7 psig. Heatingof the CO2 in the copper pipe coil is sufficient toprevent icing of the expansion device at the prevailingflow velocities.

Primary Water System

2.1-7300-0500/10609 E

1 GeneralThe losses occurring in the stator windings ,

terminal bushings and phase connectors aredissipated through direct water cooling. Since thecooling water is the primary coolant to dissipate thelosses, it is designated as primary water.

The primary water system basically consists of thefollowing components:

-Primary water supply unit-Primary water coolers-Primary water valve rack-Primary water tank

The primary water supply unit combines thefollowing components for primary water supply to thegenerator:

Primary water pumpsPrimary water filtersConductivity transmitterWater treatment systemFlow, pressure and temperature transmitters.

2 Primary Water QualityThe primary water system may be filled with oxygen-

free, mechanically clean-distilled water-fully de-mineralised water from boiler feed water

treatment plant-condensateSince the primary water comes into direct contact

with the high-voltage stator winding, it must have anelectrical conductivity below a value of 2 µmho/cm. Thewater in the primary water circuit is therefore treated in awater treatment system. Fully de-mineralised water fromthe boiler feed water treatment plant and condensate mayonly be used if no chemicals, such as ammonia,hydrazine, phosphate, etc. were added to the water orcondensate.

3 Primary Water CircuitFig. 1 shows a simplified schematic of the primary

water system. Note that the diagram shows that theexternal portion of the system may be operated througha bypass line, with no primary water flowing through thewater-cooled generator components.

The primary water is circulated by one of the twopumps on the primary water supply unit. Both primarywater pumps are of full-capacity type. The electric control

circuit of the pumps is arranged so that either pump maybe selected for normal service.

The primary water is drawn from the primary watertank and passes to a primary water manifold (inlet) viacoolers and filters and from there to the stator bars viateflon hoses. The primary water leaving the statorwinding is passed through similar teflon hoses to anotherprimary water manifold (outlet) and is then returned tothe primary water tank. A separate flow path from a pointbefore the stator winding inlet cools the bushings andphase connectors.

4 Primary Water TankThe primary water tank is mounted on the stator

frame on anti-vibration pads and is covered by thegenerator lagging. The purpose of primary water tank isto remove the hydrogen in the primary water after it

leaves the stator winding. The hydrogen occurs in theprimary water due to diffusion through the teflon hoseswhich connect the stator winding to inlet and outletmanifolds.

Since the primary water tank is the lowest pressurepoint in the system, has a relatively high watertemperature, a large water surface and sufficientretention time, intensive de-gassing of the primary wateris ensured. The hydrogen gas in the primary water tankis vented to atmosphere via the primary water valve rackand a pressure regulator. The pressure regulator can beadjusted to set the gas pressure in the primary watertank.

The water level in the primary water tank can be readat a water level gauge. Additionally, a capacitance typemeasuring system is provide for activating an alarm atminimum and maximum water level.

Primary Water Pumps

2.1-7320-10555/10609 E

Design Features of Primary Water Pumps

The primary water for cooling the stator winding,phase connectors and terminal bushings is circulated in aclosed system. To insure uninterrupted generatoroperation, two full-capacity primary water pump setsare provided. Either pump can be in service with otheracting as the stand-by. The standby pump is ready forservice and is automatically started without interruptingthe primary water circulation if the operating pump fails.

The primary water pumps are of a single-stagecentrifugal type with spiral casing and overhung impeller.

The pump suction is arranged axially, while the

discharge is directed radially upwards. The spiral casingis flanged to the bearing housing. The pump impeller isprovided with relief holes close to the hub so that no axialthrust is carried by the bearings. The point where the pumpshaft passes through the pump casing is sealed by meansof a water-cooler sliding-ring gland. The cooling water issupplied to the sliding-ring gland through a bypass linefrom the pump discharge. The pump shaft is supported inoil-lubricated anti-friction bearings. The oil level in thebearing housing can be checked at an oil sight glass. Thepump is connected to the three-phase AC motor by a flexiblecoupling covered by a coupling guard.

Primary Water Cooler

The primary water cooler is of a straight tube type.One tubesheet is stationary, while the other tubesheetis a floating type. The floating tubesheet is sealed byO-Ring.

Tube bundle is free to move in response totemperature change.

The water channel at glands can be removedwithout draining the primary water.

The tube bundle consists of round tubes expandedinto the tubesheets. Baffles installed on the tubebundle result in a transverse flow of cooling wateracross the tubes. This achieves a more efficient heat

exchange and protects the tubes from vibrations andbending.

The cooler shell is stainless steel with weldedflanges for connection to the flanges on the waterchannels. The pipe nozzles for the primary water inletand outlet are welded to the shell. Each cooler shellhas vent and drain connection.

To vent and drain the tube side of the primary watercoolers, the water channels are equipped with ventand drain connections.

Tube bundle, cooler shell and water channels arebolted together. The larger tubesheet is mountedbetween the shell flange and the water channel.

DescriptionPrimary Water Treatment System

2.1-7340-0500/10609 E

The water treatment system serves to maintain alow electrical conductivity of the primary water. The watertreatment system is connected in parallel to main circuitand contains a mixed-bed ion exchanger with seriesconnected fine filter, an integrating flow meter and aconductivity transmitter.

1. Mixed-Bed Ion Exchanger

The mixed-bed ion exchanger consists of a tankfilled with anion and cation exchanger tank prevent theescape of the resins into the piping system. A fine filterafter the ion exchanger retains any resin particles. Analarm is initiated when the filter is contaminated.

The water flow passing through the ion exchangeris measured by means of an integrating flow meter afterthe filter. After the ion exchanger part of the flow ispassed through a conductivity transmitter for checkingthe resin activity.

2. Ion Exchanger Resins

The ion exchangers consist of chemically and highlyactive synthetic resins.

The base substances of the exchanger resins arepolymers. The polymer in the cation exchanger containshighly acid groups, while the polymer in the anionexchanger is composed of highly basic groups.

The exchanger resins are thus capable of acceptingions from the primary water while simultaneouslyreleasing equivalent amounts of other ions (hydrogenions from the cation exchanger and hydroxyl ions fromthe exchanger) to the primary water. This process takesplace through the ion exchanger.

The combination of highly acid cation exchangersand highly basic cation exchangers forms a multitude ofsmall demineralization units, resulting in a high-puritydeionate.

The capacity of the mixed- bed of the ion exchangeris limited by the number of ion it can exchange. Thiscapacity is primarily determined by the type of exchangerused, but also depends on the quantity of reactivatingagent, the rate of flow and the water temperature.

When the resins are exhausted, they must bereplaced by new resins.

After removal from the primary water treatmentsystem, the resins can be reactivated.

3. Adding Make-up Water to the Primary WaterCircuit

Any loss of primary water in the total circuit can becompensated for by introducing make-up water upstreamof the mixed-bed ion exchanger. The quantity of make -up water is totaled at a volumetric water meter and isindicative of the tightness of the primary water system.

Alkalizer Unitfor Primary Water Circuit

2.1-7341-0500/10609 E

1 General

Even with the use of oxygen-poor water, coppercorrosion in the primary water circuit of water-cooledwindings cannot be completely avoided; in isolatedcases the corrosion products reduce the cross-sectional flow area of the water distribution system.Besides, the formation of conductive deposits canoccur in the rotating water inlet and outlet hoses ofwater-cooled rotor windings.

The severity of the corrosion attack can be largelyreduced by alkalizing the oxygen-poor water. Also, thesystem becomes less susceptible to disturbancesresulting from air in-leakage.

Operating the generator with alkaline water at pH8 to 9 improves its reliability land availability.

Operation at alkaline pH is ensured by a self-regulating alkalizer unit for feeding dilute sodiumhydroxide solution (NaOH).

2 Mode of Operation

Dilute sodium hydroxide solution is injected intothe low-conductivity primary water circuit where itremains as dissolved, dissociated sodium hydroxidesolution. OH – ion concentration determines the pHvalue.

The ion exchanger in the water treatment system,i.e. mixed bed filters with H+ cation exchangers andOH – anion exchangers, remains in serv icecontinuously. It removes all copper, iron, chlorine,

carbon dioxide ions, etc. from the water, However, italso removes the Na+ ions from the sodium hydroxidesolut ion. This e l iminat ion of sodium, which isproportional both to the volumetric flow rate throughthe ion exchanger and the NaOH concentration, mustbe compensated by continuous feeding of di lutesodium hydroxide solution.

The alkalizer unit is arranged in the treatmentcircuit Sodium hydroxide solution is injected into thetreatment circuit where it is mixed with the water inthe treatment circuit and raises its conductivity. Thewater has the h ighest pur i ty a t the feed pointdownstream of the ion exchangers. The conductivityof the mixed water is only determined by theconcentration of the sodium hydroxide solution andprovides a reference quantity for the pH valve. Therelationship between pH and conductivity under idealconditions is illustrated in Fig.1

Following the admission on alkaline water, theconductivity in the treatment circuit is monitored.Conductivity must be maintained constant as requiredfor obtaining the specified alkalinity. Conductivity inprimary water circuit likewise approaches a constantvalue after several hours.

3 Hydraulic Circuit

from the NaOH tank and delivers it to the treatment circuitvia a spring-loaded feed valve. The treatment circuit andespecially the fine filter down steam of the treatmentcircuit homogenize the concentration of the solutioninjected into the circuit by shot feeding. The volume flowmeter in the treatment circuit stops the diaphragm pumpvia a limit switch when the volumetric flow rate dropsbelow a predetermined limit value. A vent on thediaphragm pump enables starting without back pressure

and venting of the unit for activation. Low NaOH level inthe tank is sensed with a level detector to activate analarm. A soda lime filter in the tank vent binds the carbondioxide contained in the inlet air and prevents theformation of carbonates in the NaOH solution.

The tank has a capacity to store the sodium hydroxidesolution required for a service period of several months.

4 Control and MonitoringAn interlock using the volumetric flow rate in the

treatment circuit as a criterion prevents starting of thediaphragm pump and NaOH feeding into the treatmentcircuit under no-flow or empty conditions. The feed rateof the diaphragm pump is controlled by changing thestroking rate dependent on the conductivity in thetreatment circuit using a controller and stroking ratetransducer.

The diaphragm pump is stopped as soon as theconductivity in treatment circuit or conductivity in primarywater circuit exceeds a predetermined maximum valve,or as soon as the conductivity in treatment circuit orvolumetric flow rate in treatment circuit drops below aminimum valve.

This avoids over feeding due to faults or incorrectoperation of the alkalizer unit. After the pump has beenstopped the conductivity of the water is promptlydecreased by ion exchanger in the mixed-bed filter.

The alkalizer unit provides warning limits forlow conductivity in primary water circuitlow conductivity in leakage water circuitlow level in NaOH tank.

which are displayed in the control cabinet.Via potential-isolated contacts the following alarm

conditions can be signalled to the control room either assingle alarm or as group alarm:

Primary Water Filters

1 Main Filter

The primary water system includes a strainer-typemain filter with magnet bars. The filter screen of thestrainer has a mesh size of 75 mm (3 mils) and issupported by a perforated sheet-metal cylinder. Themagnet bars consist of a magnet carrier and a numberof permanent magnets. The high-grade permanentmagnets have an unlimited useful service life. Themagnet bars are arranged so that a strong magneticfield is set up between them. The primary water mustpass through this magnetic field so that all iron particlescome within the range of the magnetic bars, and arethus attracted and retained. The magnet bar areprotected by stainless steel sleeves. On contaminationof the strainer-type filter, which is indicated by an alarminitiated at excessive differential pressure, the filtershould be cleaned.

2 Fine Filter

A fine filed with one-way filter element giving a degreeof filtration of 5 mm (0.2 mils) is installed after the mixed-bed ion exchanger in the primary water treatment system.

The filter element consists of cellulose fibres bondedwith synthetic resin to achieve stability. The fibres aredistributed in the element in such a way that their porosityis highest on the outer circumference of the element anddecreases continuously towards the filer interior.Therefore, filtration takes place in depth, and the solidmatter is held in the entire volume of the element. Thecoarser particles are removed at the highly porous outersurface, while the smaller particles are arrested in theelement body at varying depth, depending on their size.On contamination of the filter, which is indicated by analarm initiated at excessive differential pressure, the filterelement should be removed and replaced with new one.

Coolant Temperature Control

2.1-8010-0500/10609 E

Due to load variations during operation and the resultingthermal expansions and contractions, the generator issubjected to stresses.

In order to reduce these stresses, the hydrogen coolingcircuit and the primary water cooling are each provided witha temperature control system to control the cooling gas andprimary water temperatures so that the active generatorcomponents are maintained at the proper temperature level.

The requirements for the temperature control systems aredescribed below :

ϑcold = Cold gas temperature or cold primary watertemperature

ϑhot = Hot gas temperature or hot primary watertemperature

ϑmean = Mean temperature of hot and cold gas or ofhot and cold primary water

∆ϑ = ϑhot

- ϑcold with generator carrying full load.

The temperature rise ∆ϑ at full load is the temperaturedifference between the hot and cold hydrogen gas as givenin the hydrogen cooler design data or between the hot andcold primary water as given in the design data of the primarywater cooler.

After start-up and run-up to rated speed, the cooling watersupply to the hydrogen coolers should be opened only whenthe temperature of the hydrogen gas has reached the presetcold gas reference. The temperature difference between coldgas and hot gas is determined by the no-load losses.

The cooling water supply to the primary water coolers

should be opened only when the generator is carrying load,since only then current-dependent heat losses will have tobe dissipated.

The temperature control systems are cold coolanttemperature control schemes with variable set point as afunction of the stator current. Set point adjustment is selectablebetween I and I2 or with an exponent between one and two.With rising stator current, the set point is reduced, so that themean value (ϑmean) of hot and cold coolant temperaturesassumes a nearly constant value, as shown in Fig. 1.

The difference between the setting values of the two setpoints corresponds to half the temperature rise of thehydrogen cooling gas at no-load, with 5-10 K (9-180F) to betaken as a guiding value.

In order to maintain a low temperature level in thegenerator, the reference should be set at the lowest possiblevalue, ensuring that the cold coolant temperature will not dropbelow the minimum level of 100C (500F) even when thegenerator is carrying the full load.

Parallel shifting of the curves shown in Fig. 1 is possibleby adjustment of the cold gas reference. The temperature ofcold primary water must, however, always be higher than coldhydrogen cooling gas over the entire load range of thegenerator in order to avoid any condensation of moisturecontained in the gas on the generator components carryingprimary water.

The control valve must be absolutely tight when in theclosed position to ensure that the cooling gas temperaturewill not drop while the generator is being shut down.

Safety Equipment

for Hydrogen Operation

2.1-8310-0500/10609 E

The use of hydrogen as coolant in the generatorcalls for special safety equipment to ensure thathazardous operating conditions which might endangerpersonnel or the plant will not occur.

The safety and protective measures provided forthe generator are described in detail in this section.The required measuring and alarm equipment isdiscussed elsewhere in this manual [1].

During normal operation, leaks may develop whichresult in a continuous escape of hydrogen. Long timeexperience has shown that no operational restrictionsare required as long as the hydrogen losses do notexceed 12 m

3 (s.t.p.) during any 24 hour period. The

surroundings of the generator and the hydrogensupply system should not be endangered i fengineering principles were followed in plant designand provision is made for ample ventilation of theseareas so that the formation of localized hydrogenpockets or explos ive hydrogen-a i r mixtures isprecluded.

Particular precautions are taken with respect to afa i lure of the seal o i l system. A specia l vaporexhauster creates a slight vacuum in the generatorbearing compartments to prevent the escape of oilvapor from the bearing compartments along the shaft.Any hydrogen collecting in the bearing compartmentwill be drawn off by the exhauster and vented.

Operation of the exhauster is monitored by a flowtransmitter with limit switch. If the exhauster fails, thesecond exhauster on standby is automatically started.

To prevent the hydrogen which enters the bearingcompartment from escaping via the oil drain pipes,the drain oil is returned to the turbine oil tank via theseal oil storage tank and a loop seal. This loop sealis permanently filled with oil to prevent the escape ofgas. The loop is designed to withstand momentarypressure surges.

The bearing oil circuit and the seal oil circuit are

separated from each other.The seal o i l dra ined f rom the seal o i l tank

(hydrogen side circuit) passes into the seal oil storagetank. After remaining in this tank for a predeterminedtime, the degassed oil is admitted to the turbine oiltank together with the bearing oil via a loop seal.

The measures outlined above have the followingeffects:

The bearing compartments and the oil drain pipesare ventilated continuously so that no explosivehazard will arise during normal operation.

During normal operation, practically no hydrogenwill enter the turbine lube oil tank via the loop sealtogether with the seal oil drained from the shaftseals, since the hydrogen is already extracted inthe seal oil storage tank.

The isolating action of the loop seal prevents thehydrogen escaping due to small leakages fromflowing into the turbine through the only partly filledoil drain pipe.

The seal oil storage tank is continuously ventedvia the vapor exhauster provided for the bearingcompartments. The exhauster creates a slight vacuumin the seal oil storage tank so that the oil saturatedwith hydrogen is degassed. After remaining in this tankfor a predetermined time, the degassed oil is admittedto the turbine oil tank together with the bearing oil viaa loop seal.

This continuous ventilation of the seal oil storagetank prevents the format ion of any explos ivehydrogen-air-mixture.

To avoid any danger to the unit to the hydrogensupply, only two hydrogen bottles should be openedif the bottle supply is used.

1 Tripping Criteria

Turbogenerators require comprehensive safety andsupervisory devices to prevent damage and long forcedoutages.

The protective equipment detects dangerousoperation conditions at an early stage and prevents themfrom developing into damaging condit ions. Theprotection relieves the operating personnel from makingthe necessary fast decisions.

The following criteria are sensed by the generatormechanical equipment protection and processed by thegenerator protection circuits:

1.1 High Cold Gas Temperature in Generator

1.2 Liquid in Generator Terminal Box

1.3 High Hot Air Temperature in Exciter Unit

1.4 High Seal Oil Inlet Temperatures

1.5 High Primary Water Inlet Temperature

1.6 Low Primary Water Flow Rate at Sector Outlet

1.7 Low Primary Water Flow Rate at Bushing Outlets

Each of these criteria activates a turbine trip. Thegenerator is disconnected from the system and de-excited through the two-channel reverse power relay.

2 Protection Circuits

2.1 Generators Protection Against Overheating byHigh Cold Gas TemperatureThe protection circuit covering criterion 1.1 prevents

insufficient cooling and thus overheating of the hydrogen-cooled components in case of high cooling gastemperature.

2.2 G enerator Protection Against Internal GroundFault or Terminal Short-CircuitThe generator may be damaged by leaks in

components through which primary or secondary coolingwater or seal oil flows inside the generator.

Primary water flows through the stator winding,

terminal bushing and phase connectors. Secondarycooling water flows through the hydrogen coolers locatedin the stator end shields. Generator operation will onlybe endangered by these coolants in the event of largeleakages. As a result of the high hydrogen pressure.Little water will emerge from a small leak. Hydrogen will,however, enter into the water circuit. The hydrogen losscan be derived from the hydrogen consumption of thegenerator.

Operation of the generator wil l be seriouslyendangered in the event of a major ingress of water whichwill collect in the generator terminal box. Due to therestricted volume of the compartment the liquid can risequickly, resulting in a terminal short-circuit or groundfault. In order to prevent such a failure, two leveldetectors are connected to the generator terminal boxto activate the generator mechanical equipmentprotection before a critical level is reached.

2.3 Exciter Unit Protection Against OverheatingThe protection circuit covering criterion 1.3 prevents

overheating of the exciter in case of insufficient cooling(failure of exciter coolers).

2.4 Shaft Seal protection Against High Seal Oil InletTemperatureHigh seal oil inlet temperature endangers proper

sealing performance of the shaft seals. High seal oiltemperature, as may, for instance, be experienced onfailure of the seal oil coolers, results in a reduction of oilviscosity. The gas may penetrate the seal oil film at theshaft seal contact face and allow the hydrogen to enterthe bearing compartment.

2.5 Protecting of Water-Cooled Components AgainstOverheatingThe protection circuit covering criteria 1.5 prevents

insufficient cooling and thus overheating of the water-cooled components in case of high primary water inlettemperature.

2.6/2.7 Protection of Water-Cooled ComponentsAgainst Insufficient primary Water Supply

The protection circuits covering criteria 1.6 to 1.7prevent overheating and damage to the stator winding,phase connectors and bushing in case of insufficientprimary water supply.

DescriptionGenerator Electrical Protection

2.1-8330-0500/10609 E

Generators are high-quality machines for securingthe best possible continuity of power supply. Inaddition to a suitable technical design and responsiblemode of operation, provision must therefore be madefor automatic protection facilities. This protection mustensure a fast and selective detection of any faults inorder to minimize their dangerous effects.

The protective equipment must be designed sothat any serious fault wil l result in an immediatedisconnection and de-excitation of the generator.Faults which do not cause any direct damage mustbe brought to the attention of the operating staff,enabling them to operate the unit outside the criticalrange or to take precautionary measures for shutdown.

Generators may be endangered by short-circuits,ground faults, overvoltages, under-excitation andexcessive thermal stresses.

The fo l lowing protect ive equipment isrecommended:

1 Differential protectionBreakdown of insulation between different stator

phase windings results in an internal short-circuit. Thefault is detected by a differential relay which initiatesimmediate isolation and de-excitation of the generator.In order to obtain a high sensitivity, the protected areashould include the generator only.

Operating value: 0.2-0.4/NRelay time: < 60 ms

In certain cases, the generator may also beincluded in the differential protection for the maintransformer and station service feeder. Generatorfaults are then detected by two differential protectiondevices.

2 Stator Ground Fault ProtectionBreakdown of insulat ion between the stator

winding and frame results in a stator ground fault. Ifpossible, the stator ground fault protection shouldcover the complete winding, including the neutral pointof the generator. The protect ion is to in i t ia teimmediate isolation and de-excitation of the generator.

Relay time: <1 s

The load resistance of a found transformer andany required boost to raise the neutral point potentialshould be selected so that ground current due to afault will amount to less than 15 A.

3 Rotor Ground Fault Protection

Rapid fault detection is required for the followingreasons:

An interruption of the field circuit with arcingreleases high amounts of energy in the form ofheat which may cause severe burning.A one-line-to-ground fault may develop to a doubleground fault, resulting in dangerous magneticunbalances, especially on four-pole generators.

To minimize the consequent ial damage, i t isrecommended to provide two pole and four-polegenerators with a protection circuit featuring a delayedresponse. In the core of four-pole generators, the rotorground fault protection must always operate of avoidthe hazard of sudden, extremely high vibrations dueto magnetic unbalances.

Relay time: approximately 1 s

4 Under-excitation ProtectionFailure of the voltage regulator, mal-operation of

the generator or transformer control system andgenerator operation in a system with capacitive loadmay result in a reduction of the excitation required toensure system stabi l i ty below a predeterminedminimum value. Short-circuits or interruptions in thefield circuit result in a complete loss of field and thusin instability of the generator. This causes highertemperature rises in the rotor and core end portions,rotor overvol tage, system swims and tors ionalvibrations of the shaft.

A momentary excursion beyond the steady-statestability limit must not necessarily result in a loss ofstability. Therefore it is advisable to design the under-excitation protection so that a warning will be givenwhen the steady-state stability limit is reached. Thegenerator will be shut down after a few seconds only.

The protection must operate instantaneously if aloss of field occurs when the steady-state stability limitis reached.

If the loss of field cannot be detected directly (e.g.exciters with rotating diodes), it is recommended tointroduce a second stator criterion covering the rangeof the permeance values 1/xd and 1/x’d and to providefor instantaneous tr ipping when this cr i ter ion isexceeded.

5 Over current ProtectionSystem faults may result in inadmissible thermal

stressing of the generator. For this reason, an overcurrent protection should be provided which operates

Page 141: Om Manual for 500 Mw Gen-bhel

2.1-8330-0500/2

on failure of the system protection.A definite-time delay over current relay may be used

for this purpose, however, its relay time should longerthan that of the system protection.

Operating value: 1.3/NRelay time: 6-8 s maximum

To avoid long relay times, it is recommended to equiplarge generators with an inverse-time-delay (impedancerelay. This relay is energized by over current andoperates with long or short-time setting, dependent onthe location of the short-circuit.

If connected to the generator neutral point, the over-current protection serves as backup protection for thedifferential protection.

6 Load Unbalance ProtectionGenerators operating in an interconnected system

are normally subjected to small load unbalances only.However, all one and two line-to-ground faults occurringin the system, phase breakages or circuit breaker failuresare in fact load unbalances which may result in undulyhigh thermal stressing of the rotor.

It is recommended to provide a two-stage loadunbalance protection. When the continuously permissibleload unbalance is reached, an alarm is given, whereasa time-dependent isolation from the system occurs whenthis value is exceeded.

In case of large units, it is recommended to providea protection with unbalanced load/time characteristic.Operating value and relay time should be matched tothe load unbalanced/time characteristic applicable to theparticular generator.

7 Rise-in-voltage ProtectionRejection of partial or complete system loads causes

a voltage rise, followed by an increase in the prime moverspeed. This may result in the generator and theapparatus connected to it being endangered by undulyhigh voltages. Mal-operation during manual voltageregulation of the generator may also result ininadmissible voltage stressing of these devices. Due tothe sudden voltage variations resulting from switchingoperations, it is advisable, at least in the case of largeunits, to provide a two-stage rise-in voltage protection,i.e.:

with high (1.45 × UN) operating value andinstantaneous tripping;with low (1.2 × UN) operating value and delayedtripping.

8 Under-Frequency ProtectionMajor disturbances in an interconnected system may

result in operation of the generator at under-frequency.At rated voltage, the generator can be continuouslyoperated at rated k VA up to 95% of rated frequency.

To avoid excessive magnetic and thermal stressing,it is recommended to provide an under-frequencyprotection.

Since the frequency deviation due to a systemdisturbance is normally accompanied by a voltagedeviation, the protection should be designed on the basisof the permissible load characteristic of the generatoron frequency and voltage deviations.

9 Reverse Power ProtectionA rise in system frequency for any reason whatsoever

result in closing of the control valves, and the turbine isdriven by the motoring generator. Since the turbine isthen no longer supplied with cooling steam, the unit mustbe disconnected from the system. The relay must beprovided with a time delay of approximately 20s toprevent undesired response to system swings (long timesetting).

Specific faults in the turbine-generator interior initiateemergency tripping. The steam supply to the turbine isinterrupted. A reliable criterion of perfectly tight closureof the emergency stop valves is the flow of power fromthe system back into the generator.

Disconnection of the unit from the system by thegenerator circuit breaker with a time delay of 4s is onlypermissible after the reverse power has been drawn bythe generator (short-time setting).

Operating value: about 50-80% of reverse powerRelay time: longtime setting: approximately 20 s

short-time setting: approximately 4s

10 Overvoltage ProtectionThe use of surge inverters on the high-voltage side

of the unit transformer is considered sufficient forprotecting the generator against atmospheric overvoltage and switching surges in the system.

With a view to a possible flashover from the high-voltage winding to the low-voltage winding in the unittransformer, it is, however, advisable to provide surgediverters for the generator too, which should beconnected between the phases and ground.

Normally, the surge diverters are installed in the directvicinity of the unit transformer. It is assumed thatswitching surges due to a load isolator or circuit breakerconnected between the generator and transformer willnot endanger the generator.

Care should be taken to provide explosion-proofsurge diverters or suitable constructional measures inorder to avoid danger to persons or nearby components.

Design principle:Reseal voltage: approximately 1.2-1.4 × UN

(allowing for power-frequencyovervoltage on load rejection)

Power-frequencyspark-over voltage: approximately 2 × UN

(<test voltage for stator winding,e.g. VDE 0530,UP = 2 UN + 1 kV)

Impulse spark-overvoltage <4 × UN

Temperature TranducersResistance Temperature Detectorsand Thermocouples

2.1-8410-0500/10609 E

1 Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD’s)

RTD’s are used for temperature measurements on thegenerator, e.g. to measure the slot temperatures and thecold gas and hot gas temperatures.

When making measurements with RTD’s the resistanceelement is exposed to the temperature to be measured.The RTD works on the change in electrical resistance of aconductor by the following formula:

R = R0 (1+ α α α α α T)where

R0 = reference resistance at 00Cααααα = temperature coefficient, andT = temperature in 0C

Fig. 1: Resistance Characteristics of Platinum RTD’s 100 Ω

The standard reference resistance of the platinumresistance element is 100 ohms. The temperaturecoefficient amounts to ααααα =3.85×10-3 degC-1 this being themean value for the range 0 -100 0C.

1.1 Circuit ConnectionsThe two-wire connections so far commonly used involves

errors in case of leads. Long leads are exposed to differenttemperatures, and the lead resistances then reach values inthe order of the resistance of the RTD element.

1.1.1 Three wire ConnectionsIf a third lead is connected to the element in addition to

the two element leads, automatic compensation for leadwire resistance including its changes can be achieved byresistance of the two leads forming the pair to the elementare always the same.

1.1.2 Four-Wire ConnectionIf the two element leads are not alike or if the three-

wire method of compensation would be too costly a four-wire circuit should be used. Fig.2 shows the circuit diagramof the four-wire method.

Fig. 2: Four-wire ConnectionLeads RL1 and RL2 form the pair of lead wires to the

RTD Pt 100, while the other set of lead wires RL3 and RL4

from the RTD are connected to amplifier V. Being a normaldifferential amplifier, it amplifies only the voltage drop acrossthe RTD to the required output voltage level.

Due to the mostly very high input resistance of amplifierV, the resistance of lead wires RL3 and RL4 from the RTDto the amplifier is negligible, even if it would be substantiallyincreased be the provision of a safety barrier (explosionprotection).

2 Thermocouples

Thermocouples are used for temperaturemeasurements on generator, e.g. to measure the generatorand exciter bearing temperatures. Thermocouples aremainly employed where small time constants require fasttemperature indication.

2.1 PrincipleTemperature measurement with thermocouples is

carried out as follows:Two conductors of dissimilar materials, i.e. the

positive and the negative conductor (thermoelectricelements) are joined at one end (hot junction) so as toproduce an electromotive force (emf), i .e. athermoelectric emf (in mV). The magnitude of the emf isdependent upon the temperature difference between thetemperature to be measured and that of the other twoends of the conductors.

To use the thermoelectric emf for temperaturemeasurement, the free ends of the conductors are exposedto a constant temperature (cold junction temperature) andconnected to a milli-voltmeter calibrated in 0C.

Page 147: Om Manual for 500 Mw Gen-bhel

2.1-8410-0500/20609 E

Fig.4: Voltage-temperature function for standardised thermocouples

2.2 Compensating LeadsThe compensating leads serve to extend the

thermocouple up to the cold junction. When exposed toa temperature up to 200 0C they produce the samethermoelectric emf as the associated thermocouple. SeeDIN 43710 for calibration data and limits of error ofcompensating leads.

The compensating leads used for the differentthermocouples are identified by colors:

Cu-CuNi brownFe-CuNi blueNiCr-Ni greenPtRh-Pt whiteNiCr-Constantan redThe insulating sleeve of the positive lead is provided

withe a red mark in addition to the color code.

2.3 Cold JunctionFor measuring a temperature by means of a

thermocouple, the cold junction temperature must beknown. A cold junction at a temperature of 00C can bevery easily produced by melting ice. The use ofthermostats with reference junction temperature of 200C and 500C is also possible. Note that in these casescertain corrections must be added to the calibration figureof the particular thermocouple which are referred to 00C.To do this, add the thermoelectric emf due to the coldjunction temperature to the measured thermoelectric emfand read measuring point temperature to obtain the totalthermoelectric emf .

The cold junction can, however, also be implementedby using a Pt100 RTD for determination of the actualtemperature. The temperature is referred to thecalibration figure for 0oC by electronic means. Theelectronic cold junction also avoids the temperature errordue to the junction between the compensating leads andthe copper leads.

To obtain a simpler circuit, the large number ofthermocouples used on the generator can be connectedto a double pole measuring point selector switch enablingthe respective thermocouple to be connected to acompensator for measurement.

The most essential measuring and supervisorydevices at the generator serve for:

-temperature monitoring-detection of liquid in generator interior.

1 Temperature Monitoring

1.1 Stator Slot MonitoringThe slot temperatures are measured with resistance

temperature detectors (RTD’S). This platinum measuringwire is embedded in a molded plastic body whichprovides for insulation and pressure relief.

The RTD’S are embedded directly in the stator slotsbetween the bottom and top bars at points where thehighest temperature are expected.

The RTD’S are characterized by a constanttemperature vs. resistance characteristic, highmechanical strength and insensitivity to electrical andmagnetic fields.

1.2 Cold and Hot Gas TemperaturesThe temperature of the hot and cold gases are

measured by RTD’S upstream and downstream of thehydrogen coolers, and the limit values are senseddownsteam of the coolers for use with the hydrogentemperature control system.

Temperature detectors located in the generatorinterior are mounted in gas tight protective tubes weldedto the stator frame.

1.3 Primary Water TemperaturesThe temperature of the hot primary water in the

turbine-end water manifold of the stator winding ismeasured withe manifold of the stator winding ismeasured with resistance temperature detectors. Thetemperature detectors are mounted in the water manifoldin thermowell exposed to the primary water.

2 Stator Liquid DetectionLiquid (cooling water from hydrogen coolers, primary

water or seal oil) entering the generator housing issensed by level detectors assembled in gas tight housinglocated on the seal oil valve rack. See Figs.2 and 3.

Fig. 2 Level detector

When pipes from several low-level points of the generatorare connected to a common level detector, sight glassesare provided in the inlet pipe to identify the source of theliquid.

The generator terminal box has two leakage detectionpipes acting on the generator protectors. The two pipesextend serval inches above the bottom of the generatorterminal box and are interconnected so that bothdetectors will respond if the box should be in an inclinedposition.

These detectors are utilized as tripping criteria forthe generator mechanical equipment protection, whereasall other detectors initiate only alarms.

The location of the transmitters of the measuringand supervisory equipment in the seal oil system isshown in the seal oil diagram [1].

The most essential measuring and supervisorydevices in the seal oil are:

Level detectorsPressure and differential pressure gaugesTemperature detectorsVolume flow measuring devices

1 Level DetectorsWithin the seal oil system-

the oil levels in the TE and EE prechambersthe oil levels in the seal oil tankthe oil levels in the seal oil storage tank

are supervised.A high oil level in the generator prechambers, due

to an increase in the amount of seal oil on the hydrogenside of the shaft seal, results in an alarm to be initiatedwhen the probe is immersed in oil.

A low oil level in the seal oil tank is monitored suchthat an alarm takes place when the probe is no longercovered with oil. This prevents dry running of thehydrogen side seal oil pump.

A low oil level in the seal oil storage tank-onlyfeasible during the start-up phase- results in an alarmfor protection of the air side pumps. The alarm is initiatedwhen the probe is no longer covered with oil.

2 Pressure and Differential Pressure Gauges

The following pressure measuring points areprovided:

Pressure downstream of air side seal oil pump-1

Local indication is required for pressure setting ofthe A1 valve and for visual examination.

Pressure downstream of air side seal oil pump 2

On failure of seal oil pump-2, a pressure switchactivates air side seal oil pump-1. If the later is not readyfor operation, air side seal oil pump 3 is automatically

started.Local indication is required for pressure setting of

the A1 valve and for visual examination.

Pressure downstream of air side seal oil pump 3

At this pressure gauge the seal oil pressure, set bymeans of the control orifice, can be observed.

Seal oil pump 3 is activated via a differentialpressure transducer, which detects the pressuredifferential between the generator casing pressure andthe air side seal oil, and a pressure switch when pressurefalls below the preset set point value. An additionalpressure switch initiates miscellaneous alarms and isused for Off control of the hydrogen side seal oil pump.

The essential measuring and supervisory devices inthe gas system are :

Purity meter systemsVolume flow meter systemPressure gaugeTemperature detectors

1 Gas Purity Meter System

The gas purity meter system measures the purity ofthe hydrogen gas in the generator as well as thecomposition of the gas mixtures (CO2/ air and H2/ CO2)during filling of the generator. The gas purity meter systemis also used when removing the hydrogen from thegenerator, where the hydrogen is replaced with carbondioxide and the carbon dioxide in turn with air. The gasrequired for the measurement is taken from the generatoror from the filling lines, respectively, and, on completion ofthe measurement, is discharged to the atmosphere througha vent line.

For details on the gas purity meter system, referOperation and maintenance manual of the Gas analysercabinet [2].

The gas purity meter system is equipped with a limitswitch which provides a signal to initiate an alarm whenthe purity drops below a preset value.

Fig. 1 Basic Arrangement of Brushless Excitation SystemWith Rotating Diodes

Fig. 1 shows the basic arrangement of the exciter.The three-phase pilot exciter has a revolving field with

permanent magnet poles. The three-phase AC generatedby the permanent-magnet pilot exciter is rectified andcontrolled by the AVR to provide a variable DC currentfor exciting the main exciter. The three-phase AC isinduced in the rotor of the main exciter. This three-phaseAC induced in the rotor of the main exciter is rectified bythe rotating rectifier bridge and fed to the field windingof the generator rotor through the DC leads in the rotorshaft.

Fig. 2 Exciter Rotor

The exciter rotor shown in fig. 2 corresponds to thebasic arrangement described above. A common shaftcarries the rectifier wheels, the rotor of the main exciterand the permanent-magnet rotor of the pilot exciter. Theshaft is rigidly coupled to the generator rotor. The excitershaft is supported on a bearing between the main andpilot exciter. The generator and exciter rotors are thussupported on total of three bearings.

Mechanical coupling of the two shaft assembliesresults in simultaneous coupling of the dc leads in thecentral shaft bore through the Multicontact electricalcontact system consisting of plug-in bolts and sockets.This contact system is also designed to compensate forlength variations of the leads due to thermal expansion.

2 Rectifier Wheels

The main-components of the rectifier wheels are thesilicon diodes which are arranged in the rectifier wheelsin a three-phase bridge circuit. The contact pressure forthe silicon wafer is produced by a plate spring assembly.The arrangement of the diodes is such that this contactpressure is increased by the centrifugal force duringrotation.

Fig. 3 shows additional components contained in therectifier wheels. Two diodes each are mounted in eachaluminum alloy heat sink and thus connected in parallel.

Associated with each heat sink is a fuse which serves toswitch off the two diodes if one diodes fails (loss ofreverse blocking capability).

For suppression of the momentary voltage peaksarising from commutation, each wheel is provided withsix RC network consisting of a capacitor and a dampingresistor each, which are combined in a single resin-encapsulated unit.

The insulated and shrunken rectifier wheels serveas DC buses for the negative and positive side of therectif ier bridge. This arrangement ensures goodaccessibility to all components and a minimum of circuitconnections. The two wheels are identical in theirmechanical design and differ only in the forwarddirections of the diodes.

The direct current from the rectifier wheels is fed toDC leads arranged in the center bore of the shaft viaradial bolts.

The three-phase alternating currents is obtained viacopper conductors arranged on the shaft circumferencebetween the rectifier wheels and the three-phase mainexciter. The conductors are attached by means ofbanding clips and equipped with screw-on lugs for theinternal diode connections.

3 Three-Phase Main Exciter

The three-phase main exciter is a six-pole revolving-armature unit. Arranged in the stator frame are the poleswith the field and damper winding. The field winding isarranged on the laminated magnetic poles. At the poleshoe bars are provided. Their ends being connected soas to form a damper winding Between two poles aquadrature-axis coil is fitted for inductive measurementof the exciter current.

The armature rotor consists of stacked laminations,which are compressed by through bolts over

compression rings. The three-phase winding is insertedin the slots of the laminated armature rotor. The windingconductors are transposed within the core length, andthe end turns of the rotor winding are secured with stealbands. The connections are made on the side facing therectifier wheels. The winding ends are run to a bus ringsystem to which the three-phase leads to the rectifierwheels are also connected. After full impregnation withsynthetic resin and curing, the complete armature rotoris shrunk onto the shaft. A journal bearing is arrangedbetween main exciter and pilot exciter and has forcedoil lubrication from the turbine oil supply.

laminated core with the three-phase winding. Therotor consists of a hub with mounted poles. Each poleconsists of 12 separate permanent magnets which arehoused in a non-magnetic metallic enclosure. Themagnets are braced between the hub and the externalpole shoe with bolts. The magnet hub is shrunk ontothe free shaft end.

5 Cooling of Exciter

The exciter is air cooled. The cooling air is circulated

in a closed circuit and cooled in two cooler sectionsarranged alongside the exciter.

The complete exciter is housed in an enclosure drawthe cool air in at both ends and expel the warned air tothe compartment beneath the base plate.

The main exciter enclosure receives cool air fromthe fan after it passes over the pilot exciter. The air entersthe main exciter from both ends and is passed into ductsbelow the rotor body and discharged through radial slotsin the rotor core to the lower compartment. The warmair is then returned to the main enclosure via the coolersections.

6 Replacement of Air Inside Exciter Enclosure

When the generator is filled with hydrogen (operationor standstill) an adequate replacement of the air insidethe exciter enclosure must be ensured. The air volumeinside the exciter enclosure requires an air change rateof 125 m3/h.

While the generator is running, the air leaving theexciter enclosure via the bearing vapor exhaust systemand the leakage air outlet in the foundation provides fora pull-through system. The volume of air extracted fromthe cooling air circuit is replaced via the filters locatedat the top of the enclosure.

When the generator is at rest, the air dryer of theexciter unit discharges dry air inside the exciterenclosure. The air leaves the exciter enclosure via theleakage air filter and the leakage air outlet at the shaftas well as via the bearing vapor exhaust system if thissystem is in service.

Fig.1 Components and Operating Elements of Stroboscope

The fuses on the rectifier wheels may be checkedduring operation with the stroboscope. A separate flashtube is provided for each wheel (A and B). The tubes,which are supplied through a common control unit, arepermanently installed in the rectifier wheel enclosure.This permits easy monitoring without any adjustmentoutside the exciter enclosure being required.

Fig. 1 shows the basic arrangement of a fullytransistorized stroboscope The electronics required forcontrol of the light signals are contained in the controlunit and in the tubular lamps. The tubular lamps areconnected to the control unit by cables.

The stroboscope is located in the rectifier wheel andexciter enclosure so that the fuses may be observed fromoutside the exciter enclosure while controlling thestroboscope.

To synchronize the sequence of flashes with thegenerator rotation, the system frequency is utilized toactivate the flashes. A double synchronous motor,controlled through two push-button and connected to twopotentiometers and IC's, causes the flash to be timedso that a slow-motion observation of the fuse becomespossible.

The Observation period for one full revolution of therectifier wheel (3600) is approximately 25 seconds. Atapproximately 4500, the flash is reset to its initial rate,and the observation can be repeated. The continuous

sequence of flashes can be interrupted at any time byactuating the Feed or Return push-button. Followingthis, a stationary image is obtained which ensuresaccurate checking of a single fuse. After approximatelytwo minutes, the stroboscope is automatically switchedoff. If this period should not be sufficient for fusechecking, switching on the stroboscope for another twominutes without delay can be repeated for any desirednumber of times by depressing the On push-button.

The stroboscope contains four plug-in printed circuitboards which can be readily replaced in order to remedyany faults.

The capacitor and high-voltage transformer requiredto produce the firing pulses for the flash tubes are locatedon a printed circuit board which is accommodated in thehandle of the flash lamp.

The operating elements are located on the front panelof the control unit for ease of operation. A depressedpush-button is indicated by an illuminated dot in the push-button head.

The line connector, the two connectors for the flashlamps and the fuse are located on the back of the controlunit.

All connectors have a mechanical lock and areprotected against dust and splash water. The cables arerun in flexible metal hoses for protection againstmechanical damage.

DescriptionExciter Drying System

2.1-9150-0500/10609 E

1 General

A dryer (dehumidifier) and an anti-condensation heatingsystem are provided to avoid the formation of moisturecondensate inside the exciter with the turbine-generator atrest or on turning gear.

2 Mode of Operation

The dryer dehumidifies the air within the exciterenclosure. The dryer wheel is made of a nonflammablematerial. On its inlet side, the wheel is provided with asystem of tubular ducts, the surfaces of which areimpregnated with a highly hygroscopic material.

The tubular ducts are dimensioned so that a laminarflow with low pressure loss is obtained even at high airvelocity.

The moisture absorbed by the dryer wheel is removedin a regeneration section by a stream of hot air directedthrough the wheel in the opposite direction of the inlet airand then discharged to the atmosphere.

After regeneration, the dryer wheel material is againcapable of absorbing moisture.

The adsorption of moisture and regeneration of thedryer wheel material take place simultaneously, usingseparate air streams, which ensures a continuous dryingof the air.

2.1 Operating Principle of Adsorption DryerThe dehumidification takes place in a slowly rotating

dryer wheel (approximately 7 revolutions per hour). Thehoneycomb dryer wheel consists of a magnesium silicaalloy containing crystalline lithium chloride. The inlet sideof the dryer wheel is subdivided so that 1/4 is available forregeneration and 3/4 for the adsorption section.

2.1.1 Adsorption SectionThe air to be dehumidified passes through the

adsorption section of the dryer wheel, with part of themoisture contained in the air being removed by theadsorbent material, i.e. lithium chloride. The moisture is

removed as a result of the partial pressure drop existingbetween the air and the adsorbent material.

2.1.2 Regeneration SectionIn the regeneration section of the dryer wheel, the

accumulated moisture is removed from the dryer wheel bythe heated regeneration air.

Continuous rotation of the dryer wheel ensurescontinuous dehumidification of the air within the exciter.

3 Anti-condensation Heating SystemAn Anti-condensation heating system to support the

dryer is installed in the exciter base frame. The heatersare rated and arranged so that the temperature in the exciterinterior.

DescriptionGround Fault Detection Systemfor Exciter Field Circuit

2.1-9180-0500/10609 E

The field ground fault detection system detects high-resistance and low-resistance ground faults in the exciterfield circuit. It is very important for safe operation of agenerator, because a double fault causes magneticunbalances with very high currents flowing through thefaulted part, resulting in its destruction within a very shorttime. It is therefore an essential requirement that evensimple ground faults should activate an alarm andprotective measures be initiated, if possible, before thefault can fully develop. For this reason, the field ground

fault detection system consists of two stages andoperates continuously.

If the field ground fault detection system detects aground fault, an alarm is activated at RE < 80 kΩ (1ststage). If the insulation resistance between the exciterfield circuit and ground either suddenly or slowly dropsto RE < 5 kΩ the generator electrical protection is tripped(2nd stage).

The generator is thus automatically disconected fromthe system and de-excited.

In the following, an example is given to illustratethe calculation of the amounts of CO2, H2 and air requiredfor filling. In the example one given generator volumeand one given operating pressure are assumed. Thevalues for other generator sizes, operating pressures andgas bottle sizes will vary accordingly.

V1 = 3 . V = 3 . 85 m3 = 255 m3 (s.t.p.)

1.3 Bottle Volume

H2 bottle 40 Liters at 150 bar = 6 m3 (s.t.p.)H2 bottle 50 Liters at 200 bar = 10 m3 (s.t.p.)

CO2 bottle : 40 Liters = 15 m3 (s.t.p.)45 = 1766.7 = 25.2

It should be taken into consideration that the bottlecontents cannot be completely used up. For H2 bottles itis assumed that the contents can be expanded to apressure of approximately 1 bar above the operationpressure. This means approximately 3% of the bottlecontents at a final pressure of 4 bar will remain followinga fill to 3 bar.

* For reasons of safety, a sufficient number of full CO2 bottlesmust be available prior to starting with any generator fillingoperations.

1. Operating LogDuring initial startup and during normal operation, the

hydrogen-cooled Turbogenerators, auxiliaries and allinstruments and controls should be monitored to assurecontinuous reliable operation. The observations andreadings should be recorded. A typical operating log iscontained in these operating instructions. This table will,of course, have to be adapted to the particular conditionsof the plant. The important requirement is that all checksand readings be made at certain predetermined intervalsand preferably at the same load point. Any specialconditions regarding the operation of the hydrogen-cooled

turbogenerators should be noted separately. Such notesmay be useful in determining the cause of any subsequenttrouble and speeding up corrections.

2. Normal and Special Operating ConditionsThe Generator should be continuously monitored from

startup to shutdown. During initial startup, all checks shouldbe made at frequent intervals. Hourly readings may betaken after completion of the initial period.

A generator at standstill is considered to have beentaken into service and must be continuously monitored afterone supply system was placed in operation.

Preparations for Starting

Introduction

2.3-5000-0500/10609 E

Also refer to the following information :[1] 2.1 - 1883 Gas Specification[2] 2.1 - 1885 Primary Water Specification[3] 2.3 - 4010 Gas Quantities

It is a prerequisite for startup of the turbine generatorthat continuous contracts be maintained between all plantsections directly or indirectly involved in the startingprocedure.

Prior to startup, it should be ascertained that thefollowing auxiliaries are in operation and will continue toremain in service.

Seal oil systemGas systemPrimary water systemSecondary cooling water system

If auxiliaries were taken out of operation, theoperating media required to fill the auxiliary systemsshould be made available.

1. Operating Media

The operating media used, i.e.

Turbine oilCarbon dioxide (CO2)Hydrogen (H2)Nitrogen (N2)Primary water

must conform to the specifications [1] and [2].

1.1 Seal Oil SystemThe seal oil circuits should be filled with turbine oil.

The quantity of turbine oil required to fill the seal oil circuitsshould be taken into consideration when filling the turbineoil tank.

1.2 Gas System

1.2.1 Carbon Dioxide (CO2)The carbon dioxide quantity to be provided should

suffice for two complete generator fillings [3], i.e. fordisplacement of the air prior to hydrogen filling and for

immediate removal of the hydrogen from the generator.1.2.2 Hydrogen (H2)

The hydrogen gas quantity to be provided shouldsuffice for displacing the CO2, for filling the generator tooperating pressure and to compensate for the H2 lossesduring operation [4].

1.2.3 Nitrogen (N2)For primary water purging [4].

1.3 Primary Water SupplyThe water quantity to be provided for filling the entire

primary water circuit should amount to approximately twotimes the primary water filling quantity. This allows for thewater quantity required for rinsing the primary water circuit.

1.4 Cooling Water SupplyThe coolers to be placed in operation should be filled

with water. To do this, the cooler vents should be opened.

Note : Continuous vents should remain open. The ventsshould be kept open until the air on the water side ofthe coolers has been completely expelled.

Before startup, the operating staff should ensure thata sufficient cooling water supply is available.

2. Checking the Transmitters

Prior to startup, all connections should be rechecked.This applies to piping as well as to cabling. When checkingthe cabling special attention should be paid to testing themetering and signal cables. All alarm systems should bechecked.

All temperature measuring points should also bechecked. This applies to the local as well as the remotereading thermometers. Unless temperature rises werebrought about by other preparatory work at the measuringpoints, temperatures of approximately ambient or roomtemperature should be indicated. When doubts existregarding the electrical temperature measurement,calibration and line compensation should be repeated.

Hints for Cooler Operation

1 General

The heat exchangers of the generator and itsauxiliaries have copper, copper alloy or stainless steeltubes. Admiralty brass (CuZn28Sn) is primarily used forfresh-water applications, while aluminium brass(CuZn20Al) is selected for sea- water service.

Copper and copper alloy tubes must from aprotective film on the cooling water side to ensureadequate resistance to corrosion attack. The formationand the preservation of the protective film are essentiallydependent on the conditions during initial commissioningand subsequent service.

2 Cooler Tube Materials

The coolers of the unit described have copper,copper alloy or stainless steel tubes.

Details of the cooler tube materials are specifiedin the Technical Data section of this manual [1].

2.1 Copper or Copper Alloy Cooler TubesInfluences on the cooling water side can cause

damage to the copper or copper alloy tubes of thecoolers, primarily in the form of erosion/corrosion andcorrosion attack due to

insufficient protective film formationexcessive cooling water velocitylocalized, excessive cooling water velocity resultingfrom tube blockage by foreign bodies.deposits on tubes caused by suspended materialand/or remnants of microorganisms which impairthe formation of a protective film and promotecorrosion, especially in (standby) coolers havingno cooling water flow for some time.

2.2 Stainless Steel Cooler Tubes

Cooler tubes of stainless steel are susceptible topitting and crevice corrosion under deposits, especiallywhen the cooling water has a high salt content andprimarily when no cooling water is passed through the(standby) coolers for some time. The corrosion ratedecreases with increasing cooling water velocity.

3 Cooling Water Properties

The cooling water used for the coolers must meetthe following requirements :

The cooling water must be free from coarseimpurities

The amount of suspended material must be assmall as possible.The growth of micro organisms and, in case ofseawater installations, the growth of mussels mustbe prevented.

Cooling water obtained from a closed secondarycooling water circuit mostly meets these requirementsprovided that the necessary care is exercised duringinitial operation, for example, by flushing the systemwithout passing water through the coolers.

When using water directly obtained from naturalwater sources, adverse influences should be minimizedby suitable treatment procedures (e.g. filtration, dispersantdosing, chlorination and similar methods as specified inthe literature).

4 Initial Operation of Coolers

Prior to placing the coolers in operation for the firsttime the cooling water system should be thoroughlycleaned by flushing to remove impurities and foreignmatter.

During this flushing procedure, the coolers shouldnot be in service on their cooling water sides, i.e. bypassarrangements must ensure that the flushing procedurecan be carried out without passing water through thecoolers. Following the flushing procedure, cooling watermust be continuously passed through coolers with copperalloy materials for the longest possible period of time(four to eight weeks) to ensure the formation of aneffective protective film on the cooler tubes.

5 Preventing Standstill Corrosion

Depending on the cooler material and the kind andproperties of the cooling water, standby coolers throughwhich no cooling water flows for some period of time aresubjected to all corrosive influences that can occur duringan outage.

This involves the risk that the microorganisms onthe tube walls will die due to the lack of oxygen resultingfrom the loss of fresh water supply and form decayproducts during decomposition, such as ammonia.Depending on the material used, this may lead tocorrosion and/or stress corrosion cracking.

Using cooler tubes of stainless steel with coolingwater having a high salt content involves the risk of pittingand crevice corrosion when residual amounts of coolingwater, possibly in conjunction with deposits, produce acorrosive influence.

Corrosion damage can only be safely prevented ifthe standby coolers are drained on their water sides,

Page 211: Om Manual for 500 Mw Gen-bhel

2.3-5003-0500/2

Also refer to the following information :[1] 2.1 - 1830 Cooler data

cleaned, completely dried, vented, and maintained in adry condition.

For cleaning, the coolers may be flushed with waterhaving a low salt content (Cl content < 500 mg/l forcopper alloy tubes, < 100 mg/1 for stainless steel tubes).

For drying the medium to be cooled can be passedthrough the coolers via the filler and vent pipes. However,this measure cannot be always implemented in practice,especially in the case of brief outages and because ofthe need to maintain the cooler ready for operation.

If a cooler has to maintained ready for service infiled condition, it should be flushed with the full coolingwater volume flow for a brief period twice every week. Inaddit ion, i t is recommended to perform a coolerchangeover once every week so that the normal-servicecooler and the standby cooler will be alternately inoperation.

6. Preventing Deposits in Cooler Tubes

Deposits in the cooler tubes are best preventedby supplying the normal-service coolers with the fullcooling water volume flow.

If the temperature of the medium to be cooled iscontrolled by varying the cooling water volume flow, it isrecommended to supply the normal-service cooler withthe full cooling water volume for a brief period twice everyweek in order to flush away any deposits formed on thetubes due to insufficient cooling water velocity.

During occasional outages of sufficient duration orduring an overhaul, it should than be checked whetherin-service flushing is sufficient or whether manualcleaning is required. If frequent manual cleaning isnecessary on account of poor cooling water conditions,the installation of a high-velocity water cleaning systemor of a cleaning system using sponge rubber balls shouldbe considered.

7. Special Measures for Wet Preservation

If a cooler has to be maintained ready for servicein filled condition, the water volume in the cooler mustnot be hermetically sealed from the cooling water systemor from the surrounding atmosphere, respectivelyimproper cooler changeover would then result in heatingand excessive expansion of the cooling water volume,leading to damage to the cooler gaskets or piping due toexcessive pressure.

For wet preservation always open a cooler venton the water side or a shutoff valve by a small amountmaking sure to avoid a low-velocity water flow that wouldpromote the entry of suspended material.Note : Standby coolers should be maintained ready foroperation in dry condit ion in preference to wetpreservation.

8. Cooler Changeover

Make sure to fill and vent standby coolers on theirwater sides prior to changing over the coolers. Fully openshutoff valves. After cooler changeover, which must beperformed by experienced personnel, perform allmeasures required for preservation of the coolerremoved from normal service and now on standby.

To do this, close shutoff valves upstream anddownstream of the standby cooler, since the coolingwater system is mostly designed only for supply of thecooling water flow through the normal-service cooler(s).Then open the shutoff valve on the outlet side by a smallamount to avoid the effects of a water expansion due towater heating.

8.1 Criteria for Cooler ChangeoverA cooler changeover is necessary when, with the

valves in the cooling water circuit fully open, thetemperature of the medium to be cooled is rising abovethe normal level or when required on account of abnormalevents (e.g. leakage).

3Air side seal oil circuit is filled

level detector system in the seal oil storage tank signals alow oil level. Restarting the seal oil pump is only permissibleafter the seal oil storage tank has been filled to the requiredlevel.

During filling of the air side circuit, the seal oil tankis simultaneously filled with seal oil via float valve MKW03AA002. The float valve closes when the oil level reaches apredetermined level, and the flow of oil from the air sidecircuit into the seal oil tank is interrupted. However, oil willcontinue to flow from the hydrogen side of the shaft sealinto the seal oil tank, resulting in a rise of the oil level abovethe sight glass. This is caused by the lack of pressure inthe generator.

1.1Adjust A1 valve MKW11 AA002

1.2Set seal oil pressure for seal ring relief

1.3Adjust C valve MKW13 AA002

1.4Adjust pressure equalizing valves MKW73AA011 and MKW73 AA021 for hydrogenside circuit

Note : Values indicated below apply to the generator atstandstill and seal oil temperatures after coolers of 20 to300C. Check that temperatures of air side and hydrogenside seal oil are approximately equal.

When setting the pressures, make sure to observethe static head of the respective units and instruments.

Loosen lock nut at valve stem. Turn adjusting nutto set A11 valve so that a seal oil pressure of approximately1.5 bar above the gas pressure in the generator isestablished at shaft seals.Note : Clockwise turning of adjusting nut increases sealoil pressure at shaft seals.

Counterclockwise tuning of adjusting nut decreasesseal oil pressure at shaft seals.

Adjust orifice MKW71 BP501 and A valve MKW11AA002 so that the seal oil pressure for seal ring relief willbe higher than the seal oil pressure at the shaft seals byapproximately 1 bar.Note : Adjustment is preliminary only since shaft seals arenot yet subjected to generator casing pressure.

Final adjustment can only be made when thegenerator is filled to rated pressure and operated at ratedspeed. When making the final adjustment, also check therunning condition of the turbine-generator, since anincorrectly set seal oil pressure may impair the runningcondition of the generator.

Use C valve to adjust oil pressure after hydrogenside seal oil pump. Setting should be made in the sameway as for the A valve by turning the adjusting nut.

The seal oil pressure after the hydrogen side sealoil pump must be higher than the seal oil pressure at theshaft seals. This higher pressure is required to enable thepressure equalizing valves to maintain a constant seal oilpressure.

Remove lower cap and loosen lock nut.Hydrogen side seal oil pressure is decreased by

turning threaded stem clockwise and increased by turningcounterclockwise.

pressure differences between air side and hydrogenside seal oil pressures are indicated by differential pressuregauges MKA06 CP501 and MKA07 CP501.

After completion of the adjustment, tighten lock nutand replace cap.

Make sure that position of upper threaded stem hasnot been changed.

Note : The operating values for the A1 and C valves shouldbe measured so they can be used as target values beforestarting with adjustment of A2 valve.

Stop operation of seal oil pumps 1 and 2. Standbyseal oil pump 3 will start automatically.

Make adjustment in the same manner as was donefor A1 valve. During operation with A2 valve, the seal oilpressure must be the same as when operating with A1valve. Under normal condition, A1 valve is the controllingvalve.

Operation

Never use fire or an open flame (welding, flame-cutting,smoking, etc.) in the vicinity of the generator and thehydrogen system at any time, even when starting with thepreparations for generator filling.

Filling and emptying the generator should be performedwith the generator at rest or on turning gear. Filling duringturning gear operation will result in a higher gasconsumption due to the whirling motion between themedium to be displaced and the medium admitted.

For this reason, do not perform any filling or purgingoperations with the generator at higher speeds than duringturning gear operation.

The seal oil system and the bearing vapor exhaustermust be in operation and will positively remain in serviceperiod to starting with the gas filing procedure.

CO2 flash evaporator was filled with heat transfer liquidup to lower edge of the riser.

Ensure that the pose between compressed air filterMKG25 BT001 and shutoff valve MKG25 AA501 is norconnected. Making this connection should only be donewhen compressed air from the station air system is requiredfor removing the carbon dioxide (CO2) form the generatoror for performing a leakage test.

Check to ensure that all shutoff and three-way valvesin the gas valve rack, at the gas dryer and in the bottlerack are closed.

All lines carrying gas during this procedure arerepresented by yellow lines on the mimic diagram of thegas valve rack.

Operation

After initial filling of the primary water circuit andfollowing the addition of larger quantities of primary water(>100 dm3 per month), the primary water tank should bepurged with nitrogen to reduce the oxygen content of theprimary water. During purging, O2 is extracted from theprimary water and discharged to the atmosphere via thevent gas line.

Prerequisites for N2 purging :

The external primary water circuit was filled with water.The primary water pumps must be in operation.A reliable nitrogen supply must be available.The N2 pressure reducer was set to a gauge pressureof 0.5 bar.

Note : The nitrogen used for purging must have a purityof 99.99%.

In addition, open shutoff valve for N2 bottle pressuremeasurement.

The nitrogen volume flow rate should be 600 dm3/h.corresponding to a bottle pressure drop of approximately15 bar/h for a 40 dm3 nitrogen bottle.

Continue nitrogen purging until a sufficiently low oxygencontent (≤ 100 µg/dm3) is reached in the primary watertank.

A sufficiently low O2 content for the most diverse initialconditions is obtained after the following purging periods.

30 hours after initial filling with subsequent refilling ofexternal circuit.10 hours after a refilling procedure during operation.

Note : The primary water must be continuously maintainedin circulation during nitrogen purging

Activating the Primary WaterConductivity Meter System

Prior to initial operation of the conductivity metersystem, check the wiring for compliance with circuit andconnection diagrams.

Set and check mechanical zero by adjusting zerosetting screw on the indicator.

Note : This check can only be performed if conductivitytransmitter is completely dry and therefore should beperformed prior to filling the primary water system.

Select the range 0 to 2 µmho/cm by means of jumperon printed circuit board of transmitter module.

Switch on the power supply.Check conductivity indication after a warm-up period

of approximately 15 minutes. If the indication is not zero, acorrection can be made at potentiometer P-O of transmittermodule.

This check may be performed either before or afterfilling primary water system.

Turn associated test selector switch to zero position.With switch in this position, a zero indication is given at theconductivity indicator.

Turn associated test selector switch to test value 1.5µmho/cm position. With switch in this position, instrumentshould indicate a value of 1.5 µmho/cm.

Turn test selector switch to the operation position. Withswitch in this position, conductivity indicator indicatesconductivity of primary water, provided that primary watersystem is filled and that water flows through the measuringdevice.

If conductivity of the primary water is still beyond theselected range, use jumper in transmitter module to selectone of the higher ranges:

0 to 5 µmho/cm0 to 10 µmho/cm0 to 25 µmho/cm

1 Activate conductivity meter system

2Check mechanical zero of conductivityindicator

3Check electrical zero

4Check complete conductivity metersystem by means of test switching unit

Page 260: Om Manual for 500 Mw Gen-bhel

If the checks of conductivity meter system do not yieldresult as given in step 4, perform the following checks atthe transmitter module by using the furnished test resistor.Note : During generator operation, make sure that theconnections are disconnected and reconnected in thecorrect sequence. This prevents a full-scale deflectionof the conductivity indicator which would result ininitiation of an alarm during normal operation. The testresistor can be used to check the transmitter moduleand the conductivity indicator.

When using test resistor, be sure to only disconnectthe leads to terminals 2 and 3 of transmitter module. Leadto terminal 1 should not be disconnected.

The test procedure is as follows :

Disconnect lead to terminal 2 of transmitter module.Conductivity indicator should indicate zero.Disconnect lead to terminal 3 of transmitter module.Conductivity indicator should indicate 30% of maximumdeflection.Connect test resistor terminal 1 to terminal 1 oftransmitter module. Be sure that the lead frommeasuring device also remains connected to theterminal. Conductivity indicator should indicate 30% ofmaximum deflection.Connect test resistor terminal 3 to terminal 3 oftransmitter module. Conductivity indicator shouldindicate zero.Connect test resistor terminal 2 to terminal 2 oftransmitter module. Conductivity indicator wouldindicate value given on test resistor.Disconnect test resistor from terminal 3 of thetransmitter module. Conductivity indicator shouldindicate zero.Disconnect test resistor from terminal 1 of transmittermodule. Conductivity indicator should indicate 30% ofmaximum deflection.Reconnect leads to terminal 3, then terminal 2 oftransmitter module. Conductivity indicator shouldindicate conductivity of the primary water.

A deviation between the results described above andthe actual test results using the test selector switch andtest resistor can be due to an influence of the leads betweenthe conductivity measuring device and the transmittermodule. These deviations can be corrected by P-X or P-Y.Since these potentiometer settings influence each other,the correction may have to be repeated several times untilthe required accuracy is obtained for all scale pointsincluded in the check.

Turbogenerators

Operation

1 GeneralThe generator should be operated on the turning gear

and brought up to speed in accordance with the turbinestartup diagrams.

2 Turning Gear OperationPrior to operating the generator on turning gear, the

shaft lift oil pump and the bearing oil system must be placedinto operation.

The seal oil system for lubrication and sealing of thatshaft seals and the primary water system must be placedinto operation.

The oil flow to the bearings and shaft seals should bechecked prior to turning gear operation to ensure anadequate flow. In addition, drains should be inspected forproper operation.

The generator may be filled with hydrogen prior to orduring turning gear operation provided that leakage testshave been performed and the seal oil system is in operation.

3 Generator Cooling Gas TemperaturesThe hydrogen coolers should be placed into service

on their cooling, water sides as soon as the generator isfilled with hydrogen and on turning gear. The H2 coolanttemperature control system should be changed over fromthe Automatic to the Manual mode. Use manual mode toadjust a cooling water volume flow through the hydrogencoolers of approximately 5 to 10% of the nominal flow rate.

This results in a lower dew point temperature in thegenerator interior due to the condensation of moisturecontained in the gas on the cooler tubes and fins.

The cooling water volume flow through the hydrogencoolers should not be increased as long as the H2 cold gastemperature is not at rated value.

During runup, the cooling water volume flow throughthe hydrogen coolers should be increased by manualadjustment to maintain the cold gas temperature at least5 K below the primary water inlet temperature. Changingover the H2 coolant temperature control system from theManual to the Automatic mode is permissible as soon asthe primary water temperature control system, set for theautomatic mode, opens the final control element for thecooling water downstream of the primary water coolers.

4 Exciter TemperaturesThe exciter coolers must be filled with water and vented.

The shutoff valves in the lines upstream of the coolers areopen, and the control valves in the lines downstream ofthe coolers are closed.

2.3-8010-0500/10609 E

Turning Gear Operation andRunup of Generator

During runup of the turbine-generator, the cold airtemperature requires particular attention. Open controlvalves in cooling water outlet lines as soon as the cold airtemperature has risen to > 400C. Open control valves onlyto the extent required to adjust a cold air temperature of <400C in the exciter. In addition, adjust the two control valvesso that equal cooling water outlet temperatures are obtaineddownstream of the cooler sections (measured by meansof the thermometers in the outlet lines).

After load pickup, adjust control valves for a cold airtemperature of < 400C.

5 RunupDuring runup to rated speed, the bearing oil inlet

temperature should not be less than 350C but not higherthan 450C. The oil inlet temperature at the shaft seals shouldnot be less than 380C.Note : Do not run up generator to rated speed andvoltage as long as generator casing pressure [1] is notat rated value.

During runup, the critical speed ranges should bepassed through quickly and at a uniform rate.

Smooth running depends on several factors. Evenminor temperature differences of 1-2 deg C betweenopposite sides of the rotor may result in rotor distortionwhich could lead to inadmissible vibrations due tounbalance.

During runup, the bearing and oil temperatures shouldbe read and recorded at short intervals.

To prevent these thermal unbalances during runup, theturbine-generator should be run on turning gear. If thegenerator is run up following prolonged turning gearoperation, no restriction regarding the rate of runup needbe observed other than those required for the turbine.

6 Generator Air OperationBesides the above mentioned operating conditions. It

may be necessary in certain exceptional cases to operatethe generator without hydrogen. i.e. during initial runup ofthe unit to check the bearings and vibrations and for clean-up. In view of the high windage losses and the resultinghigh temperature rise of the air such air operation is onlypermissible for brief periods and only with generator non-excited.

The cold air temperature downstream of the coolersshould not exceed 400C. At higher cold air temperatures,the hydrogen coolers should be placed into service.

During generator air operation, the supply of seal oil tothe shaft seals must be ensured as well.

during voltage and frequency deviations

1 Load Limits

For permissible generator loading, refer to the reactivecapability curve [1]. The following conditions are required:

Primary water cooling system is fully operational.Generator is filled with hydrogen at the rated pressureand all four hydrogen cooler sections are in operation.Generator is operated at rated frequencyGenerator is operated at rated voltage.

Any desired load setting is possible within the limitsindicated on the Reactive Capability Curve.

Load operation for long periods of time at reduced H2

pressure is, however, not permissible, since the statorprimary water pressure may then exceed the hydrogenpressure. This results in the possibility of primary waterescaping into the hydrogen atmosphere, should a leak bepresent in the primary water system within the stator.

2 Rate of Loading

During operation load variation is permissible withinthe limits or the reactive capability curve. The permissiblerate of loading depends on the condition of the windinginsulation Generators with a Micalastic stator windinginsulation and a rotor winding of silver-alloyed copper withglass laminate insulation can be suddenly loaded andunloaded if an automatic coolant control system isprovided and fully operational. The actual rate of loadingshould be matched to the permissible limits of the turbine.

3 Unbalanced Load

The continuously permissible unbalanced load asspecified [2] must not be exceeded under any operatingcondition. Unbalanced load is defined as the ratio ofnegative sequence current to rated current, with the ratedcurrent [2] not being exceeded in any of the three phases.

4 Load Restrictions

During the service life of the generator, operatingconditions may arise at the generator which require thegenerator to be operated at reduced load in order to avoid

damage to the unit. The following restrictions should beobserved for the conditions indicated :

4.1 Operation With Hydrogen Coolers Out of ServiceIf one of the four hydrogen cooler sections is out of

service, operation of the generator is permissible at notmore than 67% of rated load.

Operation at reduced load presupposes, however,that

Primary water cooling system of generator is fullyoperational.Dew point temperature of hydrogen atmosphere ingenerator is sufficiently below cold gas temperature.

This condition is normally obtained by drying theclosed generator with the gas drying system for not lessthan four weeks, with no leak developing in the generatorinterior during this period.Note : The actual-value transmitter for the hydrogentemperature control is located after cooler a, In theevent of a failure of this cooler, change over controlsystem from Automatic to Manual. The necessarycorrections should be performed manually.

4.2 Deviation of Rated Hydrogen PressureIf the specified hydrogen pressure [1] cannot be

maintained for unforeseeable reasons (e.g. lack of gas,high gas losses), the generator must be unloaded andde-excited when the rated pressure has dropped by 0.4kg/cm2. The cause of the gas loss should be identifiedand corrected.

4.3 Loss of Primary Water SupplyIf loss of primary water supply occurs, the generator

is disconnected from the system by the generatormechanical equipment protection and de-excited.Operation of the generator without full primary waterservice is not permissible.

4.4 Deviation of Rated Voltage and Rated FrequencyLoading of the generator with deviations from the

rated generator voltage and/or frequency is onlypermissible up to the limits shown in the attacheddiagram [3].

Shutdown of Generator

During shutdown of the generator, the shaft liftoil pump must be started as soon as the unit reachesthe speed specified in the Turbine Instruction Manual.

To prevent any difficulties during a subsequentrunup due to thermal unbalances and the resultingrotor distortion, the turning gear must be started assoon as the turbine-generator coasts down to thespeed (turning gear speed) specified for the turbine(normally automatic) and maintained in operationwithout interruption until the rotor has cooled downto nearly room temperature.

Before the unit reaches turning gear speed, theH2 coolant temperature control system (if provided)should be changed over from the automatic to themanual mode. Use manual control to adjust a coolingwater vo lume f low through the H 2 coolers ofapproximately 5 to 10% of the nominal flow rate. Thisresults in a lower dew point temperature in thegenerator interior due to the condensation of moisturecontained in the gas on the cooler tubes and fins. Thecoolers should be operated with this cooling watervolume flow for approximately 15 hours.

1 Generator at Standstill With Seal Oil, Gas andPrimary Water System in Operation

Due to operational conditions, it may becomenecessary to shut down the generator for a shortperiod. With the unit at rest or on turning gear, themechanical hydrogen purity meter cannot give anindication due to the lack of differential fan pressure.When the unit at standstill, the bearing oil system canbe taken out of service. In the absence of anyoperat ional needs. e.g. inspect ion or faul ts ongenerator, the water and hydrogen should remain inthe generator in order to retain the most favorableprerequisites for a dry condition. All observationrequired for a generator partly taken into serviceshould be per formed, such observat ions beingessentially limited to the seal oil, gas and primarywater systems.

Normally it can be assumed that the generator wasoperated with the gas dryer during the precedingservice period. The generator interior will thus be indry condition provided that the cooling gas was notreplaced.

Special measures should be taken to preventcorrosion damage to the tubes of the hydrogen,primary water and exciter coolers during idle periods.During a brief outage, the coolers should be suppliedwith a small water flow. In addition, the coolers shouldbe flushed with the full water flow twice weekly.

In the case of prolonged outages, the coolersshould be drained on their water sides and dried.

To prevent the formation of a moisture film due tocondensation on the exciter coolers., the coolingwater supply should be isolated immediately aftershutdown of the unit, making sure that the exciterdrying system is functioning properly. In the case ofprolonged outages, the coolers should be drained on

thei r water s ides, dr ied and mainta ined in drycondition to prevent standstill corrosion in the coolertubes.

2 Generator at Standstill With Seal Oil, Gas andPrimary Water System Out of Operation

Preservation measures will have to be taken whenthe generator is to be shut down for a per iodexceeding two months with the seal oil, gas andprimary water systems to be taken out of operation.The scope of the preservation work required dependson the durat ion of the shutdown, on the overal lconditions in the vicinity of the unit and on the extentto which checks and inspections are possible duringsuch period.

After removal of the hydrogen from the generator,it is recommended to open the generator by removingtwo manhole covers and to connect a dryer or hot airblower for continuous drying or circulation of the airin the generator. Care should be taken to ensure thatthis equipment is connected in such a way that acirculation through the entire generator interior willbe accomplished.

To maintain the generator in satisfactory drycondition, the exciter enclosure must be kept closedand the exc i ter dry ing system must remain inoperation.

The hydrogen, primary water, exciter and seal oilcoolers should be drained to their water sides anddried by suitable measures.

These measures are intended to prevent anycondensation in the generator interior even undervarying environmental conditions to minimize the riskof stress corrosion cracking of the austenitic rotorretaining rings.

The turbine-generator should be shut down and thegenerator rotor should be at standstill (n = 0 s–1)

Deactivate controls of seal oil pumps and bearingvapor exhausters.

If new shutoff valves or temperatures gauges mustbe installed, drain seal oil from respective pipe. Removedefective component and install a new part.

Draining of the seal oil circuit will not be required forother work. In the event of a longer shutdown of theturbine-generator, water must be drained completelyfrom the seal oil cooler or a small amount of water mustpass through the coolers continuously in order to preventstandstill corrosion.

To restart seal oil system if oil has been drained frompart of the circuit, the branch circuits should be refilledwith seal oil and placed in operation.

The details given herein on faults, their possible causesand the corrective measures cannot be consideredcomplete in every respect, since all possible troubles cannotbe covered in advance. In most cases, the operator willhave to decide on the measures to be taken. The individualmeasures required depend on the mode of operation.

Unless corrective measures can be taken in accordancewith the following instruction. The turbine-generator shouldbe shout down and the hydrogen should be replaced withcarbon dioxide. If required, the services of the manufacturershould be requested. In most cases, however, sufficientdetails will be found in the Turbogenerator Manual.

RemedyThe embedded RTD's should be checked when

different slot temperatures are indicated while statorcurrents are of equal magnitude in all the three phases.Such a check should only be made with the generator atrest and in non-excited condition. The check shouldinclude resistance measurements as well as testing ofthe detector leads, the measuring point selector switchesand the indicators. Care should be taken duringresistance measurements of the embedded RTD's toensure that they are not heated as this will falsify theresults. In many cases, a fault can be cleared byrecalibration of the RTD's.

Note: If cold gas temperature continues to rise, aturbine trip is activated via the generator mechanicalequipment protection.

Verify cause of disturbance by checking analogindicators (uniform rise of temperatures at all coolers).

Set temperature control from Automatic to manualmode and increase cooling water volume flow by openingthe final control element. If necessary, the final controlelement should be manually opened.

Verify cause of disturbance by checking analogindicators (temperature rise at one cooler).

Check to ensure that the cooling water inlet valve isfully open. Lower cold gas temperature of disturbedcooler by adjusting the cooling water volume flow withthe cooling water outlet valve. Ensure that cold gastemperatures after all hydrogen coolers are of equalmagnitude.

If the generator is operated with unbalanced load dueto particular system conditions, care must be taken thatthe continuously permissible unbalanced load is notexceeded [1]. The unbalanced load is defined as theratio of negative sequence current to rated current. Thepermissible rated stator current should not be exceededin any stator phase. When the unbalanced load, stepsshould be taken for bringing about a uniform system load.The generator should be shut down if it is impossible todistribute the system load more uniformly over the threephases.

The l iquid in the generator casing should beinspected to determine its origin, i.e. defective hydrogencooler section, oil from shaft seals, primary water ormoisture condensate.

To do this, close shutoff valve before level detector

Then close shutoff value after level detector andreopen shutoff valve before level detector.

Repeat this procedure until no liquid is drained fromthe shutoff valve.

If the liquid cannot be drained from the generator inthis manner within a reasonable period of time, whichwill be the case on occurrence of a large leakage, thegenerator should be shut down immediately.

Very small water quantities are indicative of moisturecondensate. Place gas dryer in operation.

A hydrogen sample should be extracted from thegenerator and examined in a laboratory to determine itsmoisture content.

Larger amounts of water point to a leaking coolersection.

Identify defective cooler section. Reduce generatorload [2] and take cooler section out of service by closingthe shutoff valves. Then take measures outlined in therespective instruction [3].

Since the primary water pressure is lower than theH2 casing pressure during generator operation at ratedhydrogen pressure, liquid accumulation in the generatorcan only occur in case of a larger leakage (tube failure,burst Teflon hose). The leakage water quantities require,however, a shutdown of the turbine-generator.As soon as the generator has been disconnected fromthe system and de-excited, take primary water pumpsout of service and close control valves before statorwinding and bushings. Remove hydrogen from thegenerator immediately. Fault tracing and correctiveaction may be started as soon as the generator is filledwith air.

This fault is due to a leaking or defective H2 coolertube.

Remedy

Identify the defective cooler section. First, close coolingwater outlet of this cooler section and then the cooling waterinlet.

Close shutoff valve before the level detectors that haveinitiated the alarm. Drain the liquid by means of shutoffvalves after the level detectors. Repeat this procedure untilno liquid is drained through the shutoff valves. Thisprocedure ensures that no hydrogen can escape form thegenerator through the shutoff valves.

Shut down generator and remove the hydrogen withcarbon dioxide. Fill generator with air to a gauge pressureof approximately 0.5 bar (7 psig). Remove the returnwater channel. Ensure that gaskets are not damaged.

After removal of the cover of the return water channel,the defective tube can be easily identified since air bubblesemerge from this tube. Mark defective tube and drain coolingwater. Detach cooling water lines, seal cap and inlet/outletwater channel. Ensure that gaskets are not damaged. Plugthe defective tube at both ends. Insert plugs by light hammerblows into upper and lower tube sheets. To reassemble thecomponents, follow disassembly procedure in reverse order.The cooler section should be filled with water and

Fault TracingBearings

Fault/Cause

Generator bearing temperatures vary.

Bearing oil pressure indicated in the shaft lift oil pipe drops.

Remedy

Temperature variations at the generator bearingsmay be due to different causes. Turbogenerator canbe kept in operation as long as permissible bearingtemperature is not exceeded. When a variation isnoted, the operating temperatures should be carefullymonitored to ensure the l imit temperature is notexceeded.

I f a dev iat ion occurs, f i rs t check co ld o i ltemperature (oil temperature after cooler) and bearingoil pressure for deviation from normal. If bearingtemperature rise does not result from a variation ofthese values, the oil pressure indicated in the shaftlift oil pipe should be checked. If bearing temperatureexceeds permissible value, turbogenerator should beshut down.

Oil pressure depends in part on the bearing oil inlettemperature. Check first to determine whether thepressure drop was caused by an oil temperaturevariation. If not, the shaft lift oil system should bechecked for leakages. The fault may be due to a leakat the check valve in the lift oil pipe. To determine ifthe check valve is leaking, close globe valve in thelift oil line. Prior to closing valve, check and recordthe setting (Throttling valve as set for operation). Thischeck is performed by counting the number of turnsor by measuring the travel.

If, on closing the globe valve, the pressure gaugeshows an increase over the previous operating valve,the check valve is leaking. Replace or repair the checkvalve at the next shutdown or inspection. A preciseadjustment of the throttling element will again benecessary during re-commissioning.

Fault/Cause

High water level in primary water tankNatural expansion of primary water due totemperature rise.

Defective primary water cooler.

Low water level in primary tank

Leakage in primary water system.

Water losses due to filling operation, evaporation andwater sampling.

Remedy

A rise of the primary water level in the tank above thehigh level mark calls for particular attention. If the tankoverflows, water will enter into the waste gas systemcausing damage to the equipment.

The primary water tank is dimensioned so thatexpansion of water due to temperature rise during operationwill not cause the water level to rise above the high levelmark if the tank is filled to an excessive level, the levelshould be corrected by draining.

Should the rise of the water level be due to leakage ofcooling water, the defective cooler should be taken out ofservice by primary water cooler changeover.

Any leakage of cooling water into the primary watercircuit can only take place when the pressure in the coolingwater circuit is higher than in the primary water circuit.

Immediately take measures for shutdown of the turbine-generator. If it is no longer practicable to maintain watercirculation, shut down generator.

Stop the leakage and restore normal water level inprimary water tank by adding fully demineralised water.

If the primary water pressure exceeds the pressure inthe cooling water system, the primary water cooler shouldlikewise be checked for leaks.

Note: All possible alkalizer unit faults are displayedas single alarms on the control panel of the alkalizerunit and normally also as a group alarm in the controlroom. Apart from the faults/causes covered in thisinstruction, also faults of the alkalizer unit itself arepossible which can lead to a deactivation or failureof the alkalizer unit. For details on fault tracing orrepair of the alkalizer unit, see manufacturer'sinstructions.

If the alkalizer unit has been deactivated due to a fault,the loss of primary water conditioning will not immediatelyresult in a risk for the generator. It should, however, be alwaysattempted to continue NaOH injection by changing over themetering pump from the automatic to the manual mode.

Maintaining the alkalizer unit in operation on occurrenceof faults in the general supervisory system of the generatoris only permissible with intensive operator supervision !

Cancel alarm by pressing the acknowledge key onthe alkalizer unit as soon as the conductivity hasdecreased below the limit value after fault removal.

Check the conductivity meter system.Faults which seem to be caused by the transmitter

may possibly be corrected by the following measures:Remove transmitter from flow vessel and dip in RBS

solution (available from Messrs. Roth, Karlsruhe) orchromosulfuric acid. Clean electrodes and remove anyresidual acid by rinsing in condensate or a similar mediumprior to reinstalling transmitter. Even minor traces of acidat transmitter electrodes may result in a significanttemporary increase in primary water conductivity. It is alsorecommended to measure the insulation resistance (500V megger) between terminals 1/2 and 2/3 after transmittercleaning. With a dry transmitter, the insulation resistanceshould not be less than 1 mega ohm.

Adding make-up water to the primary water circuittoo quickly can result in a decrease in conductivity belowthe limit value. Cancel alarm at the alkalizer unit afterthe addition of make-up water has been completed. Nofurther action required.

The following criteria result in stopping of the meteringpump and thus in deactivation of the alkalizer unit:

— Low volumetric flow rate in treatment circuit— High conductivity in treatment circuit— High conductivity in main circuit— Cable breakage in measuring circuit— Defect of metering pump

Fault/Cause

Low conductivity in treatment circuit

Measuring circuit of conductivity transmitter is faulty.

Make-up water was added too quickly.

Alkalizer unit has been deactivated because meteringpump was stopped

Fine-wire fuse of metering pump is defective.

Automatic circuit breaker F3 has tripped.Alarm provided Via CB Trip group alarm.

Low conductivity in main circuit

Measuring circuit of conductivity transmitter is faulty.

2.3-9785-0500/2

Remedy

Trace and correct fault, taking into account also otheralarms prevailing at the same time.

Conductivity has decreased because the pump wasstopped. The controller attempts to restore the conductivityto the proper level. Since the conductivity does not respondafter the metering pump has been stopped, the controlleroutput current rises to the maximum value preset byparameterizing. It is therefore advisable to change over thecontroller to the manual mode and to lower the controlleroutput current to zero. Then start metering pump by pressingthe Metering Pump On key twice and reset controller forautomatic mode. The controller adjusts the conductivity tothe set point level within approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

The fault display on the controller front lights up.Press reset key and try to reactivate the controller. Checkand if necessary, correct controller setting.

NaOH injection can be continued until the fault is removed.To do this, change over metering pump to the manual modeand adjust stroking rate to get the required conductivity.

The alkalizer unit is de-energized.Re-close automatic circuit breaker F1 in control

cabinet of alkalizer unit.If circuit breaker is tripped again, identify and correct

tripping cause.

Signal transmitters and metering pump have beendeactivated due to loss of supply voltage. The controlleradjusts the output current to the safety set point level.

Take corrective actions as described above.Prior to restarting the metering pump, change over

controller to manual mode and lower controller outputcurrent to zero. Start metering pump and reset controllerfor automatic mode.

Check and, if necessary, replace fine-wire fuse atright-hand top of metering pump (mode 1) front panel.

In an alkalizer unit equipped with a model 2 meteringpump, the fine-wire fuse is located behind the front panel.After having shut off the voltage supply, e.g. activatingthe automatic circuit breaker F1 and loosening of thescrews, carefully remove the front panel.

Controller and A/D converter have been deactivateddue to loss of supply voltage (no flashing light signals).Check and, if necessary, correct controller setting,Reactivate control circuit.

Re-close automatic circuit breaker F3 in controlcabinet of alkalizer unit.

Fill NaOH tank with dilute sodium hydroxide solution [1].Then renew soda lime filter [1].

Note: The alarm signal also stops the metering pump,which in turn adivates an alarm for low conductivityin treatment circuit after a short time.

Check valve positions in treatment circuit andreadjust volumetric flow rate.

Note: If the conductivity continues to rise, themetering pump is stopped, with in turn activates analarm for low conductivity in treatment circuit aftera short time.

The alarm is signalled to the control room and to thegenerator supervisory control board as a single alarm.

Details on possible causes and the corrective actionsrequired are given elsewhere in this manual [2].

If one of the lamps fails of light up during NaOHinjection, a lamp test should be performed first. To dothis, press lamp test key. All pilot and status indicatinglamps should light up.

Fuse indicator operatedFailure of one or several diodes.

Note: After operation of one or several fuses, itmay be necessary to observe the respectiveoperating limitations [1].

If the number of blown fuses per bridge arm andrectifier wheel has reached the maximum admissiblevalue, it si no longer permissible to continue on-loadoperation of the generator. The number of blown fusesindicates a severe fault in the excitation system, thecause of which must be identified and removed. Todo this, the turbine-generator must be shut downimmediately.

Work on the exciter should be performed with thefield ground fault detection system shown and themeasuring brushes lifted off the sliprings. Remove theexciter enclosure and half of the enclosure over therotating rectifier wheels. Rotate entire shaft assemblyof turbine-generator until defective fuse is brought toan accessible posit ion. While rotating the shaft,visually check all fuses in both wheels. To removedefective fuse, detach contact splice strap of the heatsink by unscrewing lock nut. Unlock and unscrew thescrew attaching the fuse to the wheel on front side. Acontinuity test of the fuse will indicate whether fusefailed due to an electrical or mechanical fault. Amechanical fault is unlikely.

If fuse failed electrically, the cause of the fault(defective diode) should be located by megger test.To do this, disconnect flexible lead from the three-phase power lead. In cases where two diodes aremounted in each heat sink, both flexible leads mustbe disconnected. A controlled DC voltage source ofnot less than 1000V with constant output voltage mustbe available for the measurements. Apply DC voltageto diode in reverse direction. Use another connectionto tie the rectifier wheel to the voltage potential.Connect a micro-ammeter for determination of reversecurrent in circuit between the voltage source and thediode connection.

To obtain the blocking characterist ic of a diode,increase applied voltage in steps up to a maximum levelof 1000 V and determine the reverse current for eachstep. At least three measurements are necessary forplotting the characteristic, the recommended voltagesteps being 500 V, 750 V and 1000 V. The maximumpermissible reverse current at 1000 V amounts to 500µA. If this limit is exceeded, the diode must be replaced.

If the shaft assembly cannot be shut down forseveral hours, e.g. because cool down of turbine isstill in progress, the measuring setup described abovecan probably not implemented. In such a case, the

The defect ive diode(s) should be caut iouslyunscrewed from the heat sink using the special diodewrench.

Before insta l l ing new diodes and fuses, thefollowing checks must be made:

Af ter c leaning the heat s ink, the insulat ionresistance between isolated heat sink and wheel mustbe measured using a 500 to 1000 volt megger.Insulation resistance should be more than 10 MΩΩΩΩΩ.

Fuses and diodes are both individually tested atthe BHEL factory. Checking the characteristic databefore installing new diodes and fuses will thus notbe required. Only make sure that each replacementdiode is of the same type as the defective diode(observe forward direction).

Before installing any replacement diodes, apply alubricant (Teflon spray) to the threads and coat diode/heat sink contact surface with a contact agent (siliconepaste). Diodes should be screwed into the heat sink byhand and then torqued to 10 mkg.

Use self-locking nuts for attaching the flexibleleads to the three-phase power lead.

Be sure that the contact surface (front face) of fusebears flush against the contact surface of wheel. Afterthe fuse has been properly screwed into the wheeland strap of the heat sink, check clearances betweenfuse and wheel using a feeler gage. If a distance ofmore than 0.1 mm is measured between fuse andwheel, fuse should be re-filing of bore in fuse strap.Finally, the front-side set screw should be locked. Ifseveral fuses and diodes are to be replaced, thisprocedure should be repeated.

No replacement of fuses or diodes must take placewithout checking.

Running behaviour of the exci ter wi l l not beaffected by an exchange of diodes and fuses becauseof small differences in the weights of replacementparts.

Prior to re-assembly of the exciter enclosures,insulat ion resistance of exci ter, inc luding rotorwinding, should be checked. If measured by a meggerapplying a measuring voltage of 500 volts, insulationresistance must not be below 1 MΩ.

Af ter insta l la t ion of the enclosures andreactivation of field ground fault detection system, thegenerator may again be placed in service.

For this purpose, cover main exciter, rectif ierwheels and pilot exciter with a tarpanlin. Blow outcoolers with clean and dry compressed air. Aftercareful cleaning, the trapanlins should be removedand the exciter enclosure placed in position over theexciter. Check to make sure the seals are tight aroundthe exciter enclosure to prevent the exciter fromdrawing unfiltered air into the enclosure.

The turbogenerator and its auxiliaries requirecontinuous maintenance and supervision to as-sure reliable operation and serviceability of thecomplete plant. Maintenance and monitoring arerequired both during operation and when the unitis at standstill.

Some maintenance work shouldpreferably be performed with the unitat rest, e.g. in the case of any specialconditions being noted in the operat-ing log, while other maintenance workmay be carr ied out during normaloperation.

The maintenance work required on thegenerator described herein is specified indetail in the following.

Maintenance and Supervision of Stator

1 Monitoring the Temperature of Components

It is important that all temperatures remain withinthe specified upper and lower limits. If a temperaturedeviation is observed the cause must be determinedimmediately and the original temperature restored.

I f there exists the danger of overheat ing, acorresponding load reduction should be made.

The temperature between the top and bottom barsof the stator winding are measured with resistancetemperature detectors (RTD’s).

The RTD’s are embedded in the winding anddistributed uniformly over the three phases. TheRTD’s in the stator winding should t ransmitapproximately identical values for identical currentsin all three phases. If different temperatures areindicated with identical currents in the three phases,a check should be performed to determine if the slotRTD’s are correctly calibrated and/or compensated.Differences in the temperature indication upto 5°Cmay be due to to lerances in the s lot RTD’s,compensating resistors and tolerances caused bydifferences in the contact at the measuring pointselector switch. Other small temperature differencesmay be due to different mounting conditions at theRTD’s.

2 Monitoring the Cooling Gas and Cooling WaterTemperatures

The temperature of the cool ing gas in thegenerator is measured with one RTD before and aftereach cooler section. The RTD’s installed after thecoolers indicate the temperature of the gas used forgenerator cooling. The cooling water supply to theindividual cooler sections should be adjusted so thatthe gas outlet temperatures at all cooler sections areapproximately identical. The setting of the coolingwater f low should be made by changing theadjustment of the cooling water outlet valves. The

cooling water inlet valves at the individual coolersections should be fully opened.

To prevent undue stressing of the generator, it isdesirable to maintain a constant temperature in thegenerator by control of the cooling water flow.

In addition to the gas temperatures, the coolingwater temperature is also measured. The coolingwater inlet temperature of all cooler sections shouldbe measured in the cooling water inlet pipes, whilethe cool ing water out let temperature should bemeasured separately for each cooler section in thecooling water outlet pipe after each cooler section.

3 Hydrogen Pressure in Generator

On-load running should always be performed atthe specified hydrogen pressure, since it results inminimum thermal stresses in the generator interior.

If the specif ied hydrogen pressure cannot bemaintained for unforeseeable reasons (e.g. lack ofgas, high gas losses), the generator should beunloaded and de-excited when the pressure hasdropped by 0.4 bar (5.7 psig).

4 Primary Water Flow Rates

An insuf f ic ient pr imary water f low resul ts ininsufficient cooling of the water-cooled components.Therefore, the flow rate must not fall below the lowerlimit value.

5 Primary Water Temperature

Cont inuous record ing of the pr imary watertemperature is essential to ensure safe on-loadrunning of the turbine-generator. Many faults can thusbe recognised and remedied at an early stage. Thisis par t icu lar ly important for a d is turbed coolerperformance (fouling, venting etc.).

Note: The temperature of the cold primarywater should be higher than the H2 cold gastemperature by not less than 5°K (9°F) underall conditions of operation in order to positivelyavoid the formation of moisture condensate onthe components carrying primary water. Thedifference between the primary water inlettemperature and the cold gas temperature ismeasured directly and monitored continuously. Analarm is act ivated when this di fferent ialtemperature drops below the predetermined value.When no differential temperature exists any longeror when the primary water inlet temperature iseven lower than cold gas temperature, thegenerator must be unloaded and de-excited atonce.

6 Primary Water Pressure Before Stator Winding

The pressure of the primary water before enteringthe stator winding can be taken as a reliable criteriafor a safe cooling water supply to the various branchcircuits.

A small change in pressure up to a maximum of10% has no influence on cooling of the stator winding.Major changes with rising tendency may be indicative

of a disturbance in uniform cooling in individual branchcircuits. To avoid any risk in cooling of the statorwinding, it is recommended to contact manufacturer’sproduct service department and to ask for removal ofthe cause.

7 Liquid Leakage Detection at Level Detectors

Liquid entering the generator housing is sensedby level detectors. Sight glasses, located before andafter the level detectors, permit any leakage to bereadily detected before the liquid level will have risenup to the level detectors.

8 Grounding Brushes

The carbon brushes should be checked at regularintervals. During operation, the useful length of eachindividual carbon brush can be determined by a visualinspection. For limits of wear, see Description [1].

The carbon brushes should be replaced with newones having contact faces which match the rotor shaftcontour.

Note: Ensure to insert the grounding brushes sothat the brush with carbon layer is followed by abrush with si lver layer when looking in thedirection of rotation of the rotor shaft.

[1] 2.3-5003 Hints for cooler operation

1 General

Special measures should be taken to prevent corro-sion damage to the cooler [1]. Cooler sections havingno cooling water flows for some time may be subject tostandstill corrosion. In addition to many other corrosiveinfluences, such as the different elements of the coolingwater, locally differing deposits, raw materials, etc., thereexists the danger that microorganisms on the tube wallsmay die and decay due to a loss of fresh water supply(lack of oxygen). Ammonia is formed from such decaywhich may lead to stress corrosion cracking. Corrosiondamage can only be properly prevented if the cooler isdrained on the water side, cleaned, completely dried andmaintained in a dry condition. With the generator in com-mercial operation, such measures are often unfeasible,particularly in cases of short outages. In such cases,

the measures outlined below should be taken.

2 Coolers

During normal operation, the cooling water flowthrough all cooler sections. Since the coolers are de-signed for 100 % capacity at maximum cooling watertemperature, the condition may arise that the coolersare supplied with smaller cooling water flows for longperiods. Depending on the purity of the cooling water,this may result in deposits due to the lower water veloc-ity in the cooler. To prevent cooler damage, it is there-fore recommended to rinse the coolers with the full wa-ter flow during short outages. In addition, the coolersshould be frequently cleaned with brushes. For heavycooler contamination and if operational restrictions andshutdowns are undesirable, it is recommended to installa continuous cooler water purification system.

X1 General

During normal operation, no service or maintenancework is required on the bearings of the generator, how-ever, bearing vibrations, bearing temperatures, oil tem-peratures, and oil pressures should be continuouslymonitored.

The generator bearings require particular attentionduring each new startup, following brief shutdown. Care-ful monitoring will also be necessary within the first fewminutes after runup until the normal operating valuesare restored. If the operating values prevailing after arestart exceed the permissible limit values, the unitshould be shut down immediately.

The lift oil pressure for the shaft journals should beadjusted so that the shaft is lifted by not more than 50 %of the bearing top clearance (top clearance amounts to0.12 % of the bearing diameter). To prevent any dam-age to the bearings the shaft lift oil system must be inoperation at speeds as specified in the turbine instruc-tion manual.

At higher speeds, the lift oil pressure will settle at 40to 80 bar. The oil pressure should be recorded in theoperating log. If a lower oil pressure is observed the re-

spective bearings should be checked. Such pressure re-duction may be indicative of damage in the area of con-tact surface, the bearing babbitt, leaking supply pipes,or defective pressure limiting and check valves.

The temperature of the lubricating oil supplied to thebearings is controlled by the cooling water flow to thebearing oil cooler. The temperature of the generatorsleeve bearings are displayed in the control room.

2 Checking the Shaft Seal and Bearing InsulationChecking the shaft seal and bearing insulation dur-

ing operation [1] may be done by way of the shaft volt-age prevailing with the generator running in an excitedcondition. For the purpose, the potential of the insulatedshaft seals and bearings is accessible external to thegenerator. With the generator running, the componentscoming into contact with the shaft are separated fromthe shaft by an oil film, which has insulating properties.Consequently, a non-defined resistance value is set upat the potential measuring points of the shaft seals andbearing sleeves which is dictated by the magnitude ofthe resistances of the oil film and insulating parts.

1 Seal Oil PumpsTo prevent dry running of the pump and to ensure

proper lubrication of the shaft seal, each new oroverhauled seal oil pump should be filled with turbine oilvia the oil filling plug, unless this has already beenaccomplished through the oil supplied to the oil inlet ofthe pump. In addition, the oil ensures proper sealing ofthe shafts for pump priming.

Change over seal oil pumps 1 and 2 at monthlyintervals. To do this, start standby pump by manualcontrol. Then stop pump so far in service by manualcontrol.

Perform functional check of standby seal oil pump 3once per month. To do this, start standby pump by

manual control. After a short running period, this pumpwill then be automatically stopped again after elapse ofa present time delay. Check to ensure that the indicationsshowing that the standby seal oil pump is in operationare displayed during the short running period.

Perform changeover to standby pump once permonth. Check pump delivery pressure and then changeover to normal-service pump.

2 Bearing Vapour ExhaustersThe bearing vapor exhausters are provided with a

regreasing device for the axial shaft seal. Repackregreasing devices with grease every six months.

The exhausters should be changed over once permonth. To do this, follow the same procedure as for theseal oil pumps.

Maintenance and SupervisionSeal Oil Coolers

1 GeneralOne of the two seal oil coolers in the air side and

hydrogen side seal oil circuits will be in service.Serving as standby unit, the second cooler is filledon its oil side, while it should be empty, clean and dryon its cooling water side in order to preclude standstillcorrosion on the cooling water side. The cooling watervent and the drain valve should be kept open tomaintain the cooler in a dry condition.

2. Cooler ChangeoverWhen changing over the coolers, the standby

cooler must first be filled on its water side, with carebeing taken to ensure that the cooler is properlyvented on both the water and oil sides.

The three-way valves should be changed over byturning the common handwheel, which actuates bothvalves simultaneously. The right-hand seal oil cooleris placed into service on its oil side by turning thehandwheel counter-clockwise upto the stop. If thehandwheel is turned clockwise, the left-hand cooleris taken into operation. The changeover proceduredoes not result in an interruption of the oil flow.

When making a changeover on the oil side, take

care that the three-way valve for cooling water inletis actuated simultaneously. The cooling water volumeflow for the cooler taken into service should beadjusted at the outlet valve so that the specified oiloutlet temperatures obtained.

3. Cooler CleaningIn-service cleaning of the standby seal oil cooler

on its cooling water side is possible after disassemblyof the upper return water channel. During cleaning,the cooler can be kept filled on its oil side. The sealoil cooler removed from service should be cleanedwith tube brushes. The use of Perlon brushes ensuresboth a careful treatment of the tube wall and goodcleaning results. To ensure thorough tube cleaning,the tube interior should be wet, since dry dirt depositsare more diff icult to remove. After completion ofcleaning and refitting of the upper water channel, thecooler should briefly be flushed with the full waterflow for the complete removal of any residual dirtdeposits. Deposits which cannot be removed bymechanical means may require chemical cleaning. Ifthere is insuf f ic ient exper ience and equipmentavailable, it is recommended to have this cleaningwork performed by a suitably qualified contractor.

The degree of contamination of the seal oil filtercan be directly seen at the differential pressure indi-cator. As the contamination of the filter increases, cor-responding to an increase in the pressure drop acrossthe seal oil filter, a higher differential pressure is in-dicated. At a preset value, an alarm signal is activated.When the alarm signal has been act ivated, thestandby filter should be placed in service and the con-taminated filter removed from service by means of the

change-over valve assembly. Check filter valve forclosed position.

Drain the seal oil from the filter housing via thedrain plug and remove the filter cover. The screen fil-ter should be removed and cleaned thoroughly. Priorto reassembly, the filter should be flushed with tur-bine oil to remove any solvent residue. The filter hous-ing should be filled with turbine oil and the filter reas-sembled.

1 General

Caution: The CO2 bottle rack should be equipped withfull bottles so that a sufficient quantity of carbon dioxidewill be available for any required displacement of thehydrogen.

A sufficient number of full hydrogen bottles shouldbe kept in stock at all times taking into consideration thegas consumption rate of the unit and the availability ofnew hydrogen.

According to section 4.6e in VDE 0530, Part 3, notmore than two H2 bottles should be connected and openduring normal operation.

On occurrence of a leak and the resulting higher gasconsumption, only the open H2 bottles would be emptiedat a faster rate. In addition an alarm is activate to alertthe operator in due time.

It is recommended that, to improve the operatingreliability, only the hydrogen bottles in service should beconnected to the hydrogen bottle rack, while the otherconnections should be isolated by means of the shutoffvalves at the H2 bottle rack manifold.

The connection of new gas bottles should be enteredin the operating logs.

2 Gas Consumption

During operation, the loss of H2 gas must bemonitored continuously on the basis of H2 consumption.

The total gas consumption consists of the hydrogenquantities escaping both controlled and uncontrolled.

The gas quantity escaping under control is composedof the hydrogen flowing out continuously via the puritymeter system for measuring the gas purity in thegenerator, and the gas removed from the generatorthrough the seal oil and discharged into the vent gasline.

Gas quantities escaping uncontrolled are those lostthrough leaks in the generator and gas system.

If an undue loss of gas occurs on the unit, the locationof the leak must be determined [1].

Since this leakage gas may present a danger to theenvironment, it should not amount to more than 12m3

(s.t.p.) during 24 hours. In the event of the gas leakagelosses exceeding 12m3 (s.t.p.) during 24 hours, leak testsshould be performed and the gas losses reduced belowthis limit. In case such measures are not successful, evenon reduction of the gas pressure in connection with acorresponding load reduction, the unit should be shutdown and the hydrogen removed from the generator (seesection 4.6d in VDE 0530, Part 3).

2.1 Handling the Handy-Tector

The sniffer probe of the Handy-Tector should be ledover the surface of the test object as slowly as possible.Note that with a leakage gas lighter than air the leakdetection should be carried out above the object andwith gases heavier than air underneath of the test object.

Maintenance and SupervisionPrimary Water Filters

1 GeneralThe degree of contamination of the primary water

filters can be seen at the differential pressure indicator.At predetermined differential pressures, alarms areactivated in addition to signal filter contamination.

During each inspection of the unit, the main filtersshould be cleaned and the filter element of the fine filterreplaced.Warning : Primary water contains dissolved hydrogen.When draining he filter, care should be exercisedbecause of resulting degassing of water.

2 Main FilterThe main filter is only insignificantly contaminated

even after a service period of several years due to thepurity of the primary water and the cleanliness of theentire primary water system. Cleaning during operationwill therefore normally be not required. Should itnevertheless become necessary to clean the main filterduring service, place main filter 2 in operation and takemain filter out of service.

To do this, close shutoff valve

MKF52AA591 (drain, main filter 2)

Open shutoff valves :

MKF52AA590 (before main filter 2)MKF52AA593 (after main filter 2).

Close shutoff valve :

MKF52AA592 (vent, main filter 2)

as soon as water emerges without bubbles. Main filter 2is now in service.

Close shutoff valves :

MKF52AA580 (before main filter 1)MKF52AA583 (after main filter 1).

Open shutoff valves :

MKF52AA581 (drain, main filter 1)MKF52AA582 (vent, main filter 1).

Discard primary water drained from main filter 1. Mainfilter 1 can now be cleaned [1].

After filter cleaning, operation of the primary watersystem can be continued either with main filter 2 or withcleaned main filter 1.

3 Fine FilterThe fine filter can also be taken out of service during

normal operation for replacement of the contaminatedone-way filter element.

The procedure for any required filter element replace-ment of the fine filter is as follows :

Take fine filter out of service [2].Remove contaminated filter element.

Remove vent pipe and hex nuts from filter cover andlift off cover.

Hold filter insert at handle and turn counterclockwise.After removal of filter insert from filter housing, loosenhex nuts and remove bottom seating ring. Withdraw con-taminated filter element.

Insert new filter element and close filter.

Prior to installing a new filter element, clean filtersealing faces and seating rings and check O-rings fordamage. Install filter element and replace bottom seat-ing ring. Fit and tighten one hex nut until the supportplate rests on the upper seating ring. Fit and firmly tighten(lock) second hex nut.

Hold filter insert at handle and turn clockwise untilfilter insert is firmly locked in filter housing.

Reposition and bolt down filter cover. Uniform con-tact pressure must be obtained by tightening nuts alter-nately at opposite points.

Refit vent pipe to filter cover so that a tight connec-tion is obtained.

Fine filter can be taken into service [2].

Maintenance and Supervisionof Primary Water Coolers

1 Maintenance of Coolers on Primary Water SideWith normal cool ing water condi t ions and the

generator carrying rated load, two of the three primarywater coolers will be in operation. The standby thirdcooler should be filled on its primary water side.

A small amount of primary water continues to flowthrough the standby cooler via the parallel-connecteddrain and vent valves. In this way, deterioration of theconductivity of the primary water volume in the coolercan be avoided.

When making a cooler changeover take care thatthe primary water f low through the coolers is notinterrupted.

2 Maintenance of coolers on Cooling Water SideThe standby cooler, filled on its primary water side,

should be empty, clean and dry on its cooling water sidein order to preclude standstill corrosion. The vent anddrain valves on the secondary side should be kept opento maintain the cooler in satisfactorily dry condition.

Note: If the second primary water cooler is not requiredfor a longer period of time, due to the cooling waterconditions and the heat loss to be dissipated, it can betaken out of service on its cooling water side, i.e.,drained, cleaned and dried.

Special measures should be taken to preventcorrosion damage to the coolers. Cooler sections havingno cooling water flows for some time may be subject to

standst i l l corrosion. In addit ion to many othercorrosive influences, such as the different elementsof the cooling water, locally differing deposits, rawmaterials, etc., there exists the danger that microorganisms on the tube walls may die and decay dueto a loss of fresh water supply (lack of oxygen).Ammonia is formed from such decay which may leadto stress corrosion cracking. Corrosion damage canonly be properly prevented if the cooler is drainedon the water side, cleaned, completely dried andmaintained in a dry condition. With the generator incommercial operation, such measures are oftenunfeasible, particularly in cases of short outages.In such cases, the measures outlined below shouldbe taken:

During normal operation, the cooling water flowsthrough two cooler sections. Since the coolers aredesigned for 100 % capacity at maximum coolingwater temperature, the condition may arise that thecoolers are frequently supplied with small coolingwater volume flows for long periods. Depending onthe purity of the cooling water, this may result indeposits due to the lower water velocity in the cooler.To prevent cooler damage, i t is thereforerecommended to rinse the coolers alternately withthe ful l cooling water volume flow during shortoutages. In addi t ion, the coolers should befrequently cleaned with brushes. For heavy coolercontamination and if operational restrictions andshutdowns are undesirable, it is recommended toinstall a continuous cooler water purification system.All continuous vents should be checked for properfunctioning.

The Primary water tank is mounted on the stator frameand serves as an expansion tank during operation. Asufficient water level in the primary water tank is theprerequisite for reliable primary water circulation.

The water level in the pr imary water tank isdisplayed on a local water level gauge. One capacitivelevel monitoring system is provided to activate a lowwater level alarm.

Any loss of primary water in the total circuit canbe compensated for by introducing make-up waterupstream of the ion exchanger. The quantity of make-up water is totally at a water meter and is indicativeof the leak tightness of the primary water system.

If it is necessary to add make-up water to theprimary water system during operation, close controlvalve.

MKF60 AA502 (before ion exchanger)

and then open shutoff valve

MKF60 AA504 (in make-up line)

to admit water into the primary water system via theion exchanger.

Note: During make-up operation, the flow velocityshould not be higher than during normal operationof the water treatment system. Check volume flowat volume meter MKF60 CF502.

During make-up operation, a maximum of 100dm3 (26 US gallons) of water may be added to theprimary water circuit. Added water volume istotally on volume flow meter MKF60 CF501.

However, if this amount of make-up water isinsufficient, purge the primary water tank withnitrogen [1].

Nitrogen purging must also be performed if thecumulat ive amount of added water exceeds100dm3 within the past month.

During this procedure, the water level in theprimary water tank should be observed carefully,making sure that no primary water enters the ventgas system.

Addition of water is stopped by closing shutoff valve

MKF60 AA504 (in make-up line)

as soon as the water level in the primary water tank hasreached its nominal value.

2.1 Replacing Ion Exchanger ResinsA replacement of the ion exchanger resins is required

when the conductivity downstream of the ion exchangeris higher than in main circuit or rises to a value 0.5µmho/cm.

The main circuit may be left in operation during resinreplacement. The various operations for resinreplacement should be accomplished so that the workwill be completed before a conductivity of 1.5mmho/cmhas been reached in the main circuit. With the ionexchanger out of operation, this value will be obtainedafter a few days only.

Maintenance and SupervisionAlkalizer Unit

The controller in the alkalizer unit maintains theconductivity of the treated primary water at a constantvalue.

Alkalizer unit monitoring requires regular checkingof the volumetric flow rate and level in the NaOH tankand water sampling.

1 Level in NaOH Tank

Check and record level in NaOH tank during dailyinspection of turbogenerator.

About 2dm3 of dilute sodium hydroxide is injectedinto the primary water circuit each day.

With the given capacity of the NaOH tank, refillingthe tank with sodium hydroxide will be required atintervals of about two months.

Fill NaOH tank with dilute sodium hydroxide solutionafter a low level alarm has been given at the latest.

1.1 Adding Sodium Hydroxide SolutionWhen preparing the sodium hydroxide solution and

filling the NaOH tank of the alkaline unit, make sure toavoid the formation of carbonates as far as practicableby reducing the time of free exposure to the atmosphereto the absolute minimum.

To prepare the sodium hydroxide solution and to fillthe NaOH tank, observe the following procedure:

Prepare concentrated sodium hydroxide solution inlaboratory (observing the specification [1]). To dothis, dissolve the necessary quantity of sodiumhydroxide (caustic soda) in approximately 8-10dm3

of water [2] to obtain the specified concentration of10 to 20g of NaOH per dm3.

Caution: When handling sodium hydroxide (causticsoda), make sure to observe the applicable safetyregulations.

Set controller in control cabinet of alkaline unit for

manual control and then lower manipulatedvariable (controller output current) to zero.Open NaOH tank and add concentrated sodiumhydroxide solution.Fill NaOH tank with water [2] to the required level,Stir solution for proper mixing.Reclose NaOH tank so that it is tightly sealed andsecure against opening.Reset controller for automatic control.

Note: Due to temporary deactivation of the alkalizer unit,the conductivity of the treated water will drop to < 0.1mmho/cm, and a corresponding alarm will be activatedin the control cabinet of the alkalizer unit. Cancel thealarm by depressing the Acknowledge button as soonas conductivity of the treated water has been restoredto its nominal value.

Replace the lime filter in the NaOH tank vent eachtime the NaOH tank is refilled. To do this, observe thisprocedure:

Hold glass vessel and loosen wing bolt untilclamping fixture can be moved.Position clamping fixture with wing bolt beneath

2 Water AnalysisWe recommended chemical analysis of the primary

water in the main circuit and treatment circuit (samplingdownstream of fine filter) at monthly intervals. Keepingthe sample excluded from the atmosphere at a constanttemperature of 25oC, the following parameters shouldbe determined:

ConductivitypHNa+ ion concentrationCu concentration (total)Fe concentration (total)

Table 1 shows the normal and limit values to beexpected.

Parameters Normal Limit

Conductivity 1.8-2.0 µmho/cm 2.0 µmho/cmpH 8.5-9Na+ ionconcentration 25 to 250 ppb 300 ppbCu concentration <5 ppb 10 ppbFe concentration <5 ppb 10 ppb

Table1 Normal and Limit Values of Primary WaterChemistry

Operation at the limits given in Table1 involves noimminent risk for the generator: these limits, however,indicate abnormalit ies and the cause must beinvestigated.

If the results of the water analysis do not provideconclusive proof of correct water treatment, theconductivity of the water should be measureddownstream of a highly acidic cation exchanger (H+

form). The conductivity provides information on thepresence of other unwanted anions in addition to theOH ions that determine the alkalinity. The measurementshould be performed with the sample excluded from theatmosphere to prevent a falsification of the reading bythe carbon dioxide contained in the ambient air. Whencorrect water treatment, the conductivity at 25oC shouldbe ≤ 0.1 µmho/cm.

Unwanted anions, such as HCO3-, CO3

- -, SO4- - and

Cl- can be admitted with

the makeup waterair or H2 leakagefilter elements or ion exchanger resins notcomplying with the specifications [3].

The anions are normally absorbed by the anionexchanger resins in the mixed-bed filters and can havea permanently detrimental effect on the alkalizationprocess only when the ion exchanger is exhausted.

With the aid of the stroboscope whose light fre-quency is automatically controlled, it is possible toobserve each separate fuse on both wheels. To acti-vate the stroboscope, press the On push-button. It isthen possible to select either flash tube 1 or flash tube2 by pressing the corresponding push-button Lamp1or Lamp2 to observe each successive fuse on therectifier wheel. By pressing the feed or return push-button, the flashes can be timed so that a continuousslow-motion observation of each fuse is possible.

The position of the fuse indicator shows whethera fuse is intact or blown due to diode failure. If thecolor-coded fuse indicator has taken a radial position,the fuse has blown. To determine the condition of theentire rectifier wheel, it is necessary to know in whicharm of the bridge each blown fuse belongs. The bridge

arm can be determined from the color marking abovethe fuse on the edge of the rectifier wheel.

The operating limitations [1] must be observed ifseveral fuses have blown.

In normal operation, the fuses should be monitoredat least once each day. A check is required at oncefollowing abnormal operating conditions, e.g. short-circuit on the system close to the power plant, asyn-chronous running, etc. If the exciter is operated withdefective fuses, monitoring should be done on anhourly basis. If no additional fuses have blown aftertwo further shifts, normal running routine may be con-tinued.

Note : The life of the prefilter depends on the dust con-centration in the power house and on the service hoursof the exciter dryer. It is recommended to inspect theprefilter at shorter intervals during the commissioningphase because of the high dust content of the air andthe relatively long period of exciter dryer operation.

1 Prefilter

The prefilter is installed in the door behind which theexciter dryer is located. This door is an integral part ofthe exciter enclosure.

The prefilter consists of a coarse (Acelan) filter anda fine (Microsorlit-F) filter. The coarse filter is locatedupstream of the fine filter.

1.1 Replacing the Prefilter

To inspect or replace the prefilter, open the dooraccommodating the prefilter.

Loosen wing nuts and then remove filter frame andthe two filter pads.

A slightly contaminated coarse filter can be cleanedby beating or blown out with compressed air fromthe air-leaving side. The fine filter can be reused ifin proper condition.

In case of more severe contamination, both filterpads should be replaced.

For reassembly of the filter, follow the sameprocedure in reverse order.

2 Dust Filters

One dust filter each is provided behind the intakebranches on both sides of the exciter dryer. Withproper and regular maintenance of the prefilter, dustfilters will be required only once per year.

2.1 Replacing the Dust Filters

De-energize the exciter dryer. Open the door containing the prefilter. Disconnect electrical and mechanical connections,

if necessary, and remove dryer. Loosen screws at connection branch by about

three turns Turn connection branch counterclockwise for

removal. Remove filter frame with dust filter. Blow out dust filter with compressed air from the

air-leaving side or wash dust filter. If necessary,replace dust filter.

Reinsert filter frame with clean dust filter into thedryer, making sure that the filter frame joint is inthe bottom center position.

Refit connection branch and turn it clockwisebefore tightening the screws.

In addition to many other corrosiveinfluence, such as the different elements of the coolingwater, locally differing deposits, raw materials, etc. thereexists the danger that micro-organisms on the tube wallsmay die an decay due to a loss of fresh water supply(lack of oxygen).

1 Ground Fault Detection SystemThe ground fault detection system runs continuously.

On occurrence of a ground fault between the windingand ground an alarm is activated and indicated on thedanger alarm panel.

If a ground fault is indicated, the cause of the groundfault alarm must be investigated at once. To do this, theinsulation resistance should be measured with a 500Vmegger. The ground fault detection system should bedisconnected at the brush gear or isolated if achangeover switch is provided.Caution: If, as described below, the measurement isperformed with the generator running and excited, handlesliprings and brush gear with extreme care since at theworst the full field voltage may be applied to the slipringconnected to the exciter circuit.

I f the insulation resistance drops during themeasurement, exchange polarities at the megger forchecking purposes and repeat measurement.

If insulation resistance measured is not sufficient,operation of the generator should be continued only afterconsultation with the manufacturer to avoid majorconsequential damage.

2 Carbon Brushes of Ground Fault DetectionSystemThe carbon brushes should be checked at regular

intervals. During operation, the useful length of eachcarbon brush can be determined without removing thebrush holder by inserting a gauge stick of insulatingmaterial into the bore of the brush holder.

If a carbon brush must be replaced, the brush holdershould be released from its lock and a new carbon brushfitted, making sure that the carbon layer comes beforethe silver layer in direction of rotation and that the newbrush has a contact face which matches the slipringcontour. Grinding of the new brushes to the requiredcontour should be done using a model of the ring contouror by grinding to size at the slipring when the unit is atrest. Carbon brush wear depends on several factors. Thenormal service life of a set of carbon brushes may bedetermined by keeping a record of brush replacementsover a period of several years.

Note: Remove only one brush holder at a time in ordernot to disturb proper operation of the ground faultdetection system. When inserting a new double-layercarbon brush, make sure that silver layer comes aftercarbon layer in direction of rotation

[1] 2.5-1003 Measures to Prevent Corrosion During Inspections

2.5-0010-0500/10609 E

Introduction

Reliable operation of the turbogenerator will be ensuredonly if inspections and overhauls are carried out at regularintervals so that any faults can be detected and correctedbefore they result in costly failures. Following eachinspection or overhaul, the next inspection should bescheduled.

Provided that commercial tools can be used and that nospecial skills are required for the dismantling and erectionwork, the inspections can be performed by skilled powerstation staff. In all other cases, however, such as for theinspection of the shaft seals and their auxiliaries, theservices of the manufacturer’s product service personnelwill be required.

During an inspection, special attention should be givento avoiding the effects of moisture on austenitic retainingring materials as a preventive measure against stresscorrosion.

According to the conventional interpretation, theconditions for stress corrosion to occur are given by thecombination of sufficiently high tensile stresses and asensitive material/corrosion medium system. In high-tensile steel, this sensitive system already develops whenthe material is exposed to the moisture in the air. Extendedstorage until startup and extended shutdown or stand-by

periods of turbogenerators may thus result in a latent hazardto components which are made of a material sensitive tostress corrosion. Endangered parts of the turbogeneratorare, for instance, the rotor retaining rings which consist ofhigh-tensile austenitic steel. This latent hazard can only bepositively avoided by taking all preventive measuresrequired to fully protect those components of theturbogenerator which may be affected by stress corrosionagainst the effects of moisture [1].

The shutdown of a turbogenerator for inspection shouldbe made in exactly the reverse order as duringcommissioning. It should be noted in particular that thehydrogen must be removed from the generator housingwith carbon dioxide only. Should opening of the gas systemor of the generator proper be required during an inspection,it is required to replace the carbon dioxide with air.

In the event the manufacturer’s personnel are requiredfor a scheduled inspection or overhaul, it is recommendedto notify the manufacturer well in advance. The estimatedduration of the inspection or overhaul should also be stated.

The spare parts stored for repairs and overhaulsshould be checked at regular intervals. Components packedin plastic sheeting mostly contain a desiccant which mustbe replaced or reactivated from time to time.

Packing, Transport and Storageof Generator Rotors

NoteGenerator rotors are high-grade components which

are sensitive to moisture. For this reason, they must beprotected against corrosion and mechanical damage duringtransport and storage.

The packing precautions and the organizationalmeasures for protection during transport and storage aredescribed below and summarized in [1]. This descriptioncontains all details required for restoring the standardpacking provided by BHEL for delivery of the rotor. If arotor is to be returned to the manufacturer’s works foroverhaul or in the case of a prolonged outage of thegenerator involving a separate storage of the rotor, therequirements specified in the following must be met forprotection of the rotor.

Any deviations from the standard packing due to specialcircumstances shall be subject to the approval of BHEL.

1. Basic Makeup of PackingThe packing precautions and organizational measures

during transport and storage are intended for reliablypreventing the effects of moisture on the rotor andespecially on the rotor retaining rings which may be

endangered by stress corrosion and for protection againstmechanical damage during transport and transshipmentprocedures.

For protection against the effects of moisture, the rotorretaining rings and the rotor body are packed in sealedplastic sheeting covers, adding materials for moistureabsorption. This sealed packing is protected with a secondplastic sheeting cover. In the case of sea transport, a thirdplastic sheeting cover is provided for the rotor retainingrings and the rotor body. This cover forms a secondadditional barrier against the diffusion of moisture into theinnermost plastic sheeting cover.

The metallically bright shaft ends (shaft journals andcouplings) are protected with a hard wax coating.

The rotor is then placed on a skid with closed bottomand secured in position for protection against mechanicaldamage. For land transport not exceeding one month, thisunit is protected against external influences by a woodenenclosure resting on the bottom frame of the skid. Thisenclosure must be removed prior to each transshipment tohitch the rotor with a lath grid in place at the middle of therotor body.

In the case of land transport exceeding one month andwith sea transport, the enclosure forms an integral part ofthe skid. The hitch should then be taken directly at the skid.The complete cargo is covered with tarpaulins forprotection from the elements.

Rotors with water-cooled windings are protectedagainst corrosion by filling the water passages with purenitrogen after drying to a gauge pressure of 0.5 to 1 barvia a cover at the exciter end. The pressure can be readon a permanently installed pressure gauge.

2 Definitions

2.1 Land TransportThe packing provided for this mode of shipment affords

sufficient protection for land transport under moderateclimatic conditions and for a scheduled transit period ofnot more than one month. This provides a reliable protectionfor short-distance transport (from BHEL, Haridwar todestinations in India ).

This type of packing also ensures sufficient protectionduring subsequent storage in a covered hall, e.g.powerhouse. Following the receiving inspection, theinsulation resistance of the rotor winding and the conditionof the desiccant should be checked at intervals of onemonth and the desiccant reactivated, if necessary.2.2 Sea Transport

The packing provided for this mode of shipment

Page 370: Om Manual for 500 Mw Gen-bhel

2.5-0030-0500/2

affords protection during shipment by sea, duringunavoidable outdoor storage and for transport periods andunder conditions exceeding those under item 2.1. Theadditional packing, as compared to land transport, consistsof a third plastic sheeting cover and a closed, seaworthyouter packing. The desiccant included in the plastic sheetingcovers is sufficient for the scheduled transport period,but for not more than six months.

The inspections required during storage are the sameas specified for land transport under item 2.1.

3 Summary of Rotor Packing Requirements

This summary [1] contains information on the makeupof the packing and on the procedures required to maintainthe packing in sealed condition. A detailed description isgiven in the following section.

4 Sealed Packing

The obtain a reliable and long-lasting corrosionprotection, both suitable production appliances andmaterials and appropriate methods of packing are required.The basic prerequisites are:

Dry Condition of Rotor Prior to PackingThe rotor must be dried if it is expected to be in a wetcondition due to operational faults. To do this, the rotorand especially the rotor retaining rings and end windingportions should be dried with dry air by means of an airdryer (e.g.. Munters dryer).

Water-Cooled Rotor WindingDrying the cooling water circuit of the rotor windingshould be performed with a vacuum pump, heating thewinding with direct current to approximately 60 to 70°C.Drying can be terminated when a pressure of less than5 torr has been maintained on the hot rotor for a periodof five hours. Following this, the rotor winding shouldbe filled with pure nitrogen to a gauge pressure of 0.5bar via the end cover at the exciter end.The equipment and power sources required for vacuumdrying should be obtained by the user in due time. Themechanical data required for the procurement of theequipment are available from the manufacturer onrequest.

Weather-Protected Packing AreaPacking and unpacking is only permissible in a weather-protected area, preferably in a hall.

No Delays in Packing ProcedureCare must be taken to ensure that after its removal therotor will not suffer any moisture condensation oraccidental wetting. Packing the rotor should thereforebe performed immediately after withdrawal of the rotorand any required drying in order to minimise anyuncontrolled phases.

4.1 Production Appliances and Packing MaterialIn addition to the standard tools, such as scissors,

knife, etc., special appliances are required for obtaining apacking affording corrosion protection.

Heat-impulse fixture for heat sealing of polyethyleneplastic sheeting, consisting of:heat – impulse generator andheat – sealing tongs for a minimum seam length of 200mm,Heated plate to melt wax-coated sheeting for bonding(e.g. electric iron).

· Blower with small delivery rating for checking the plasticsheeting cover for tightness and for extracting the testair (e.g. vacuum cleaner).Air dryer for any required drying of rotor end windingsprior to packing.

The following packing materials are used, which areavailable from BHEL, HARIDWAR on request:

Polyethylene sheeting, 0.2 mm thick, endless, preferredwidth 6000 mmRubber board with canvas reinforcement, 3 mm thick,minimum width 1000 mmWax-coated linen binding with 1 mm wax coating, 100mm wide (e.g. Denso binding)Hard wax for application by brush (e.g. Tectyl 506)Cold degreasing agentWax-coated aluminum foilAdhesive for plastic sheetingAdhesive tape for plastic sheetingFoam material, which does not absorb water, 5 to 10mm thick (e.g. polyurethane)Silica gel in linen pouches as desiccantMoisture indicators for functional checking of desiccant(color indicators for 30%, 40% and 50% relativehumidity)Hemp rope, 2 mm thick, for attaching desiccant pouchesFabric tape, 20 mm, endlessSteel band, 1 mm thick, 30 mm wide, with turnbuckleand tensioning deviceLath grid for taking a hitch at the rotor body consistingof hardwood laths 50x80x3000mm, nailed to 5mm thickfabric mat.

4.2 Protection of Metallically Bright Shaft EndsThe metallically bright shaft ends should be cleaned

and degreased and protected with a hard wax coating(e.g. Tectyl 506) of sufficient thickness (dark-brown). Inaddition, the areas of support in the skid should be wrappedwith two layers of wax-coated bindings (e.g. Densobinding) and a 3 mm thick canvas-reinforced rubber mat.All other areas contacting the skid should also be coveredwith 3 mm thick rubber board.

4.3 Providing the Plastic Sheeting CoversThe polyethylene sheeting covers are made directly

on the components to be protected. To protect the plasticsheeting cover from damage, any contact with sharp edgesmust be avoided. Edges should be padded with layers ofrubber board or foam rubber. The use of excelsior,corrugated cardboard, felt or other hygroscopic materialsis not permissible. Care should be taken to ensure that theplastic sheeting cover remains intact during the subsequentpacking procedures. Even pinpricks and minute tears inthe plastic sheeting will render tight sealing ineffective.Within the range of rotor support in the skid and of othercontact points (upper shipping saddles), the polyethylenesheeting should be inserted between two rubber boardsof sufficient size for protection against damage. At theend winding, each plastic sheeting cover is provided witha 500 mm dia. opening for connection of a plastic sheetinghose having the same diameter and a length ofapproximately 1m. After checking the cover for tight sealing,the desiccant is added via this hose, which is then closedby heat-sealing.

To maintain the sealed range in a dry conditiondesiccant (see Item 4.4) is added to each plastic sheetingcover.

After heat-sealing and tight wrapping with wax-coated bindings, each plastic sheeting cover should bechecked for tight sealing. To do this, one corner of theplastic sheeting hose should be cut for insertion of avacuum cleaner hose (discharge end) and tightly sealedwith a binding. If the cover remains inflated during thefollowing two hours, the cover is properly sealed. Followingthis check, the air should be drawn off.

4.3.1 First Plastic Sheeting CoverAs a first step, the entire rotor body should be

wrapped with wax-coated aluminum foil with 50 to 70 mmoverlap, with the wax coating facing the rotor body. Seamsand overlapping portions should be sealed airtight by meltingthe wax coating with an electric iron.

To protect the aluminum foil from being damaged bythe handling ropes, a canvas-reinforced rubber mat, 3 mmthick and approximately 2500 to 3000 mm wide (dependenton overall length of rotor) should be placed around thecenter of gravity of the rotor. This rubber mat consists ofindividual sections, each having a length corresponding tothe rotor body diameter + 100 mm and arranged with anoverlap of not less than 100 mm. All overlap seams aresealed with wax-coated canvas bindings. Axial overlapseams are additionally secured with steel bands. Theoverlap seam at the top on the circumference is secured inaxial direction by wooden lath, 80x40 mm, which is alsoheld in place with steel bands.

Finally, a lath grid (hardwood laths attached to fabricmat or fabric tape) should be placed in position for hitching.The grid should cover not less than the lower half two-thirds of the rotor body circumference and be adequatelysecured with steel bands. The wooden laths must be onthe outside and arranged so that the rubber mat is

approximately 150 mm wider at each end of the rotor. Therange between the free shaft portion protected with hardwax and the end of the rotor body should then be wrappedwith polyethylene sheeting which is to be sealed tightlywith wax-coated canvas bindings at the rotor body andfree shaft portion.

Experience has shown that in the case of largerrotor body diameters (>1300 mm), the aluminum foil cannotbe wrapped around the rotor with sufficient tightness andmay thus be omitted. In such cases, the above mentionedpolyethylene sheeting should extend beyond the rubbermat at the middle of the rotor body and should be sealedtightly with wax-coated canvas bindings at these points.

The precautionary measures specified under Items4.2 to 4.3.1 provide for the minimum packing requirementsand are sufficient for land transport not exceeding 20hours. In the case of rotors provided with aluminum foilwithin the range of the rotor body, sealing of the rubbermat at the middle of the rotor body will not be required forshort-distance transport.

4.3.2 Second Plastic Sheeting CoverIn addition to the first plastic sheeting cover described

under Item 4.3.1, a second polyethylene sheeting cover ofthe same type should be provided between the shaft endsand the rubber mat at the middle of the rotor body. Toseparate the two plastic sheeting covers, a 5 to 10 mmthick layer of foam material should be placed over the tophalf circumference of the rotor retaining rings and rotorbody.

Two plastic sheeting covers are required for landtransport and storage as defined under Item 2.1.

4.3.3 Third Plastic Sheeting CoverFor sea transport and outdoor storage as defined

under Item 2.2, an additional diffusion barrier is provided.This third polyethylene sheeting cover protects the entirerange of the rotor between the shaft journals at eitherend. It is placed over the plastic sheeting covers accordingto Items 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 and is to be made in the samemanner.The plastic sheeting is placed over the rotor before therotor is supported on the skid. Within the range of rotorsupport the plastic sheeting is inserted between two rubbermats of 3 mm thickness each. After the rotor has beensupported on the skid, its upper half portion (rotor bodyand retaining rings) should be covered with a 5 to 10 mmthick layer of foam material outside the lath grid area, andthen the plastic sheeting cover should be heat-sealed.

4.4 Desiccant4.4.1 Type and Application

The desiccant consists of silica gel in dust-free andair-permeable pouches. It should be inserted into eachplastic sheeting cover via the plastic sheeting hoses at theend windings. The desiccant must be placed so that it can

be easily replaced when this becomes necessary and thatit does not come into contact with steel or windingcomponents (danger of corrosion). If necessary, covercontact area with polyethylene or rubber sheeting.

All pouches must be tied together with a hemp rope,and, when used, they must be in an active, i.e. absolutelydry condition

4.4.2 Desiccant QuantitiesThe desiccant quantities [1] are proportioned to

accommodate highly adverse climatic conditions. Themaximum quantity is sufficient for a shipping time notexceeding six-month.

4.4.3 Checking and ReactivationThe moisture absorption capacity of the desiccant

must be checked after completion of shipment, afterinterruptions in transit involving a storage period of morethan one month and during normal storage at the site (seeItem 7.2). To do this, use the moisture indicators (Fig. 3)inserted in the plastic sheeting covers at a distance of notless than 5 cm from the sheeting. The moisture indicatorsare marked with their respective location identifications asillustrated in Fig. 2 and show the relative humidity insidethe cover in three ranges (>30%, >40% and >50%). Withthe packing in dry condition, all circles are blue. A changein color to pink in the respective circle indicates the relativehumidity in percent. As soon as the 40% indicator changesto the pink color, the desiccant must be removed andreplaced or reactivated by drying.

All circles pink: danger of corrosion 50

Two circles pink: replace desiccant 40

One circle pink: warning 30

Make sure that sufficient replacement desiccant orthe necessary drying facility for reactivation is available.After opening, the plastic sheeting cover should beprovisionally resealed, but must not be left in this conditionfor more than 20 hours.

For reactivation, the pouches should be dried in adrying oven at a temperature of 110°C for 12 hours. If adrying oven is not available, the desiccant should beremoved from the pouch, spread out in a thin layer on ametal plate and dried at 110 to 130°C for several hours untilthe weight of the desiccant remains constant. Thedesiccant should then be filled back into the pouches which

are to be closed and reinserted into the plastic sheetingcovers as quickly as possible. Care should be taken toensure that the pouches do not come into contact withmetal parts. The opening in the plastic sheeting cover shouldthen be resealed with a heat-sealing unit.

5 Skid and Outer Protection

BHEL, HARIDWAR generator rotors are delivered inbox type shipping containers, consisting of a skid and anenclosure. Figs. 4 and 5 depict typical examples. It isrecommended to keep this shipping container for futureneeds, unless an adjustable universal skid is used for landtransport which is available from BHEL, HARIDWAR, ifrequested in due time. The information given in the followingrelates to the remounting of the rotor in sealed packing onthe skid and to the provision of the outer protection.

5.1 Land Transport (Less Than One Month)For land Transport, the rotor should be supported on a

skid similar to Fig. 4. The points of support should be paddedwith rubber mats for protection of the plastic sheetingcovers. At the shaft ends, the rotor should be attached tothe skid by means of upper saddles and secured in axialdirection.For loading operations, the hitch should be taken either atthe middle of the rotor body (lath grid) or at the rotor ends.During transit, the rotor should be protected against externalinfluences by a wooden enclosure resting on the bottomframe of the skid. Both long sides of this protectiveenclosure should be clearly stencil-marked with thefollowing note.Caution: Remove protective enclosure for rotortransshipment.

The complete cargo should be covered with a lashedtarpaulin.

5.2 Land Transport or Sea Transport of LongerDuration

For land transport exceeding one month and for seatransport, the rotor should be packed in a closed, self-supporting container. The setup for two-pole rotorscorresponds to Fig. 2. The container bottom should haveopenings with perforated–plate covers for ventilation andto prevent the accumulation of water. In addition, inspectionopenings with covers should be provided on the long sidesfor access to the desiccant pouches via the plastic sheetinghoses. An inspection opening at the exciter end shouldprovide access to the contact pins on the exciter-end endcover of the rotor for measurement of the insulationresistance of the rotor winding.

Prior to closing the container, the rotor should becovered with 3 mm thick pressboard panels andpolyethylene sheeting, taking care to avoid the formationof troughs in which water might accumulate. The containerlid should be covered with tar board sanded on one side

Fig. 3 Moisture Indicator

Page 374: Om Manual for 500 Mw Gen-bhel

and folding down over the edges not less than 200 mm.The total weight and the dimensions of the cargo should

be marked on the container. In addition the hitching rangeshould be color-marked. The complete cargo should becovered with a tarpaulin for protection against the elements.

6 Protection of Packing During Transit :6.1 Organizational Measures :

Proper packing of the rotor will prevent both the ingressand the condensation of moisture during transit, unlessthe sealed packing is damaged by improper loadingprocedures or customs inspections. This should be avoidedby suitable precautions, enabling a quick restoration of thedry condition of any damaged sealed packing. Thesemeasures include :

On the Cargo:

Instructions for correct handling.Reference to “Sealed Packing” on shipping container.Indication of desiccant quantity inserted into eachindividual plastic sheeting cover behind inspection holecover.Attaching this instruction 2.5 – 0030.

In the Accompanying Documents:Reference to “Sealed Packing”.Reference to arrangements for customs clearance atplace of installation.Request for immediate drying in case of transportdamage with moisture penetration.Check list relating to condition of desiccant [2].Checklist relating to insulation resistance of rotorwinding [3].

6.2 LoadingIf a flatcar is used for transport, the cargo should be

loaded so that it can slide on the car, i.e., the skid must notbe secured in position and must be free to move in bothdirections of running. Provision should be made for a slidingdistance of approximately 1.5m at either end.

Planks , approximately 50 mm thick, should be nailed tothe long sides adjacent to the battens.

If a deep well wagon is used for transport, the skid-mounted rotor should be secured in position at both endsof the loading bridge. The bridge through should be sealedwith boards for protection against stones.

During shunting operations, the car must never beallowed to pass over a hump. A corresponding note shouldbe included in the waybill and affixed to the car in a wellvisible location.

6.3 Receiving InspectionAfter arrival of the rotor, the consignee should examine

the packing for external damage. The condition of thedesiccant can be ascertained at the moisture indicators. Inaddition, the insulation resistance of the rotor winding

should be checked. In the case of a water-cooled rotorwinding the pressure of the nitrogen blanket should alsobe checked. The date of the receiving inspection shouldbe entered in the respective section on the inspection holecovers. The results of the receiving inspection should berecorded in the check lists [2], [3], copies of which shouldbe forwarded to the consignor.

If the packing is found in damaged condition, it shouldbe resealed as soon as possible. The same requirementapplies if the seals were opened by the customs authorities.

If the moisture absorption capacity of the desiccant isno longer sufficient (40 % indicator is pink), the desiccantshould be removed from the plastic sheeting cover, withthe shipping container protected from the environment, andreactivated (see Item 4.4.3). If the rotor is unpackedimmediately after delivery, it may become necessary tobring it to ambient temperature level for protection againstmoisture condensation. If the rotor temperature is equal toor higher than the room temperature, there will be no needfor raising the temperature of the rotor to the level of theambient temperature. The rotor temperature can bemeasured at the accessible rotor ends using a temperaturemeasuring instrument. If the rotor temperature is lowerthan the ambient temperature, steps must be taken toensure that the rotor temperature will be 5 degC (safetymargin) higher than the dew point temperature of theambient air [4].

In the case of outdoor units, the rotor installation phaseshould be timed so that the unpacked rotor will not beexposed to extreme changes in temperature as this willinvolve the risk of moisture condensation.

7 Storage

The preventive measures during storage provide formaintaining the dry condition of the rotor in the sealedpacking without any interruptions until commencement ofthe installation.

To this end, certain minimum requirements must beobserved, which are dependent on the condition of thestorage area. In addition, the condition of the packing andof the desiccant contained in the packing must be checkedat regular intervals. To obtain additional verification, theinsulation resistance of the rotor winding should bemeasured.

As long as the nitrogen pressure is still slightly aboveatmosphere, it will normally not be necessary to rechargea water-cooled rotor winding with nitrogen. If the nitrogenpressure has dropped to zero, the winding should be filledwith pure nitrogen to a gauge pressure of 0.5 bar from thenitrogen bottle permanently installed in the shippingcontainer.

7.1 Storage AreaSufficiently ventilated and dry storage rooms for stable

support of the parts in a fully accessible location arefavorable preconditions for storage. If outdoor storage

cannot be avoided, a heavy-duty outer packing of theseaworthy type must be provided. The outdoor storagefacility must be set up in such a way that the stored item isprotected against rainfall and moisture from the ground.This would include placing a waterproof shelter over theshipping container which affords sufficient ventilation. Inaddition, the stored item should be blocked up on the solidground for protection against moisture. Enough space mustbe left between the boxes to permit inspections and checks.

7.2 Checks During Storage PeriodFollowing the receiving inspection, surveillance of the

equipment should be conducted by repeat checks atintervals of four weeks. The checks required are the sameas specified for the receiving inspection under Item 6.3.

The dates of the repeat checks should be recorded on theouter packing below the date of the receiving inspectionand in the check lists [2],[3].

7.3 Removal from StorageIf the storage area and the place of installation are not

located in the same room (power house or workshop), therotor temperature may be below the dew point level ontransfer of the rotor from a cold storage area to a warmpower house. To protect the rotor from moisturecondensation, it should be left in its sealed packing forseveral days and allowed to assume the ambienttemperature prior to removing the packing for immediateinstallation.

Preparation of Machinery Parts

1 General

The machinery parts to be assembled are deliveredready for mounting, unless certain portions must beprotected during transport against corrosion or damage.

In case of orders for delivery to other countries, allsensitive portions of the machinery parts, e.g., journals,are provided with a protective coating and protected againstdamage.

In case of orders for delivery to overseas countries,all machined surfaces are provided with a protectivecoating. In addition, complete assemblies are sealed inplastic sheeting.

2 Removal of Protective Coating

The protective coating applied at the manufacturer’sworks should be carefully removed prior to assembly. Thesurfaces to be cleaned should be washed with petroleumor a similar agent. When using trichlorethylene, the cleanedsurfaces should be carefully dried and afterwards a thinoil film should be applied. Non-observance of thisrequirement implies the danger of corrosion.

Particularly thick layers of protective coating should besoftened by applying one of the above-mentioned cleaningagents and then be removed by means of a hardwoodboard (approximately 10 cm x 10 cm x 1 cm).Caution: Never use scrapers, finishing trowels orsheet metal strips for removing the protectivecoating from highly sensitive machinery parts(journals, etc.)

The covers protecting the components of the DC plug-in contact assembly should be removed shortly beforecoupling the rotors.

Make sure that the sleeves and bolts of the DC.

plug-in contact assembly of the exciter rotor willnot come into contact with any solvent.

Cleaning of internal and external threads should bedone by chasing, using suitable taps or cutting dies. Thedimensions of the external and internal threads may betaken from the respective drawings. Use dry compressedair to blow out the re-tapped holes.

Where no taps are available cleaning of the tappedholes may also be carried out with the aid of the originalscrews. At first, the screws should be cleaned by meansof solvent and a brush. The cleaned screws should thenbe dipped into a solvent and immediately afterwards bescrewed into the holes for thread cleaning.

If required, this procedure should be repeated severaltimes until the threads are free from protective coating.

3 Remedying Minor Damage

Damaged machinery parts should be reconditioned asdictated by the extent of the damage and the operationalrequirements unless the nature of the damage does notwarrant such remedying.

Seriously damaged parts should be returned to themanufacturer’s works together with a damage or failurereport.

The machinery parts and the fixing and locatingelements should be checked for burrs and compressionmarks, and such imperfections should be removed bymeans of a smooth-cut file. Fine –finished surfaces shouldonly be polished by means of an oilstone.Caution: Burrs and compression marks on bearingmetal surfaces should only be removed by means ofa spoon scraper or flat scraper.

Checking the Bearing and Seal Insulation

1 GeneralDuring operation of a generator, voltages are set up along

the rotor due to magnetic unbalances and ring excitation.This shaft voltage would cause a destructive current to flowthrough the bearing, shaft seal and other components if therotor were not insulated from ground at least at the exciterend. For reasons of interchangeability, all stator componentscoming into contact with the generator rotor are insulated. Atthe exciter, all bearings or the complete exciter are insulated.

2 Checking the Shaft Seal and Bearing InsulationDuring Installation

2.1 Bearing SaddlePrior to inserting the rotor and supporting it on the

bearings, the insulation resistance of the built-in bearing saddleshould be measured separately by means of a 100 V meggerapplied between the bearing saddle and the lower part of thestator frame. The values measured should be recorded.

With satisfactory insulation, a value in excess of 10megohms is to be expected. If an insulation resistance valuebelow three megohms is measured, the insulating parts shouldbe checked for moisture, contamination or metallic contacts.If required, the insulation should be dried at 80°C maximum.

The measurement should be repeated immediately afterthe rotor has been supported on the bearings.Caution: With this measurement and the followingchecks both rotor bearings must be insulated, and thegenerator rotor must not come into contact with theturbine shaft through measuring devices or similarparts, to prevent the generator rotor from beinggrounded.

Since, with the rotor inserted, all individualresistances measured previously are now in parallelin the measuring circuit, the total resistance will beslightly lower than the lowest individual resistancevalue measured before.

2.2 Inner and Outer Labyrinth RingsInner and outer labyrinth rings are insulated from other

components. The insulation resistance of each individuallabyrinth ring should be measured after installation in order topreclude any lengthy search for faulty mounting onmeasurement of a poor insulation resistance. Proceed withmounting of the next component only after having identifiedand removed the cause of a poor insulation resistance. Afterinstallation of all insulated components the total resistancewill be slightly lower than the lowest individual resistancevalue measured before.

2.3 Shaft SealsBoth shaft seals are mounted such they are insulated.

To check the insulation resistance, follow the same procedureas outlined for the labyrinth rings. It is also be expected that

the total resistance will likewise be lower than the lowestindividual resistance measured before.

2.4 Pedestal Bearing of ExciterThe insulation resistance between the bearing pedestal

and base frame should be measured immediately aftermounting of the pedestal.

With satisfactory insulation, a value in excess of 10megohms is to be expected. Following this, bolt the associatedoil pipe to the bearing pedestal being careful to insulate it. It isalso recommended to repeat the insulation resistancemeasurement after fitting of each individual pipe. If a sufficientlyhigh resistance value is measured (five megohms) proceedwith fitting of the next pipe. Finally, measure the insulationresistance to the base frame of the bearing pedestal with theconnected pipe work. If this value is higher than threemegohms , proceed with mounting of the exciter rotor.

2.5 Final CheckingAfter the exciter rotor has been coupled to the generator

rotor and insulated from the bearing pedestal, a final insulationcheck should be performed. The total insulation resistancemust not be less than one megohm. Due to contact with theshaft, the measuring circuit covers in parallel.

3 Checking the Shaft Seal and Bearing Insulation ofthe Assembled UnitChecking the shaft seal and bearing insulation during

operation may be done by way of the shaft voltage prevailingwith the generator running in an excited condition. For thispurpose, the potential of the insulated shaft seals and bearingsis accessible external to the generator. With the generatorrunning, the components coming into contact with the shaftare separated from the shaft by an oil film, which has insulatingproperties. Consequently, a non-defined resistance value isset up at the potential measuring points of the shaft sealsand bearing sleeves which is dictated by the magnitude ofthe resistances of the oil film and insulating parts. Thefollowing method permits the insulation to be checked withoutdisassembly of components being required.

Useful results are, however, to be expected only if theturbine end of generator rotor and the turbine shaft aregrounded properly as defined during the measurements.Grounding must be maintained to discharge to ground anystatic charges occurring continuously during operation dueto steam and oil film friction.

3.1 Checking the Insulation with the Generator in anExcited Condition

Page 382: Om Manual for 500 Mw Gen-bhel

2.5-0300-0500/2

Due to the rotor grounding arrangement at the turbineend, the shaft voltage should be measured at the exciter end.Since the result depends, however, on the function of therotor grounding system (carbon brush sliding on shaft), theshaft voltage should first be measured according to Fig.1with the generator running and excited. Normally, this will bean AC voltage of a few volts on which a small dc componentis superimposed.

Measurement should be performed by means of an AVO-meter in the AC range. The voltage should be picked off theshaft through a sliding contact with an insulated handle, whichis connected to the meter by a circle.

The shaft voltage measured in this way should then becompared with the voltage according to Fig. 2. If the two

readings are not identical, the rotor grounding system shouldbe rectified first before taking any further readings to checkthe insulation for shaft currents.

If the shaft voltage can be exactly measured accordingto Fig.2, the measuring brush on the shaft should first beconnected to the potential measuring terminal of the insulatedcomponent (bearing sleeve or shaft seal) at the exciter endby means of a cable. The oil film of the component is thusbridged, with the component assuming the shaft potential.With satisfactory insulation, the instrument will continue toindicate a shaft voltage of the original magnitude. In the eventof insufficient insulation resistance, a current will flowthrough the insulation, which may be read at the ammeterconnected into the circuit. Bridging of the oil film results in a

reduction of the original shaft voltage or in its completecollapse.

The resulting current can be measured for a brief momentby means of an ammeter connected into the circuit betweenthe measuring brush and the potential measuring terminal.

3.2 Checking the Insulation With the Generator in Non-Excited ConditionIf the previous tests are inconclusive, additional tests

may be performed in consultation with the manufacturer

to locate insulation defects with the generator running and innon-excited condition. A bridge instrument must be used. Tomeasure the resistance of the insulated component withrespect to the shaft and ground, the bridge instrument shouldbe connected between this component and ground.The resistance (Roil and Rins in series) of the parts in contactwith the shaft are then connected in parallel with themeasuring voltage. This measurement is not practicable withthe generator at standstill, since a stable oil film providing forfull insulation can be formed above a speed of approximately3.33 to 6.66 s-1.

In case of a low insulation resistance, it must be assumedthat the insulation is defective, requiring detailed checking ofthe insulating parts. (Contact the manufacturer).

Leakage Tests of Generator andGas System

To ensure trouble free operation, all systems should bechecked and operated strictly in accordance with sound,safe and accepted practice.

1 Leakage Test of Primary Water Circuit

The primary water circuit must be filled with water forleakage testing. The pressure gauge in the waste gas pipeshould be replaced for the duration of the test with a pres-sure gauge having a range of not less than 6 bar. A nitro-gen cushion at a gauge pressure of 6 bar is to be providedon the water level in the primary water tank and main-tained for a test period of not less than 48 hours. Duringthe test, the entire circuit should be carefully checked forleakage. Any leaks detected should be repaired, and theleakage test repeated.

2 Leakage Test of H2 Gas System Using Air

After assembling the generator and placing the seal oilsystem into operation, the generator, including the con-nected gas system, must be leak tested using compressedair. A special connection is provided for this purpose.

The test pressure should be equal to the generatoroperating pressure. A class 0.6 precision pressure gaugeshould be used for pressure measurement.

The duration of the leakage test should be at least 48hours.

During this test the stator winding should be filled withwater. The primary water tank should be at atmospherepressure and the waste gas pipes closed. Though theprimary water circuit has already been leak tested, theinternal primary water circuit should be included in theleakage test of H2 gas system. For this purpose, the pres-sure gauge in the waste gas pipe of the primary watertank should be replaced by a U-tube gauge, permitting evensmall pressure increases to be measured. Should a pres-sure increase be observed in the primary water tank, aleak of the primary water system within the generatorwould be expected and must be located and repaired.

The H2 gas system may be considered sufficiently tightif the loss of air is below 1.5 m3/24 hrs = 100 dm3/hr(s.t.p.)* at this test.

The loss of air is determined as follows : 0.2694 x 24 p1 + pB1 p2 + pB2V = ——————— . VG ( ————— - ————— )

Z 273 + t1 273 + t2

WhereV = loss of air in m3 (s.t.p.)* per 24 hour periods

test, mbarpB2 = barometer reading at end of leakage test,

mbart1 = temperature of the gaseous atmosphere at

beginning of leakage test, °Ct2 = temperature of the gaseous atmosphere at

end of leakage test, °C

If an air loss higher than 2.4 m3 (s.t.p.)*/24 hrs results,a search for the leak must be made. The likely location ofleaks, such as

flange connections,joints,screw couplings,welds,bushings, etc.,

should be examined thoroughly. Suspected areas shouldbe brushed with Diprol or other foaming solution. Theformation of bubbles (foam) indicates a leak.

If a satisfactory tightness is established the generatormay be filled with CO2, and subsequently with H2.

If, as an exception, a leakage test using hydrogen isperformed, the leakage rate may be four times as high asduring a leakage using air. Leak detection during this testshould be performed by means of a gas leak detection.

3 Leakage Control of H2 System During ActualOperation

During operation, the loss of H2 gas must be monitoredcontinuously on the basis of H2 consumption. The quantityof hydrogen leaking uncontrolled may amount to 12 m3

(s.t.p.)*/24 hrs. Note that only the quantity of gas leavinguncontrolled should be used for evaluating the tightness.Losses such as the steady controlled gas loss occurringat the electrical purity meter system and the gas removedfrom the generator through the seal oil should not becounted.

4 Leak Detection by Means of a Gas Leak Detector

If an undue loss of gas occurs on the unit, thelocation of the leak must be determined. To do this, werecommend a leak detector of the Handy-Tector typewith battery charger (product of Edwards HochvacuumGmbH, Frankfurt/Main, West Germany).

4.1 Description of the Handy-TectorThe equipment consists of a battery driven manually

operated leak detector with two sniffler probes (madeof stainless steel and plastic) and a battery charger.

The Handy-Tector is accommodated in a handycase and is provided with a pistol grip. It weighs about0.5 Kg and enable access to all components of the uniteven when locations are obstructed. Equipped with athermistor bridge as a sensing element it detects leaksfrom which, for instance, H2 gas escapes by initiatingthe difference in thermal conductivity of the gas andthe ambient atmosphere (normally air). The sensingelement is not subject to wear and cannot be overloaded,damaged or contaminated by too h igh a gasaccumulation. All operating elements, e.g. indicators(measuring range 0 to 5 with adjustment mark for batterytesting), switch for polarity reversal, On-Off switch,key for battery voltage testing, and a potentiometer byzero setting, are arranged in an easily surveyed and

practical manner. The pistol form allows one-handoperation. The overall dimensions of the equipment are150 x 160 x 65 mm. The Handy-Tector is supplied in aportable leather case.

4.2 Handling the Handy-TectorThe sniffer probe of the Handy-Tector should be

led over the surface of the test object as slowly aspossible. Note that with a leakage gas lighter than airthe leak detection should be carried out above the object,and with gases heavier than air underneath of the testobject.

Flushing the Oil Piping

1 Measures to be Taken at Inspections, Repairsor Checks

When opening parts of the oil systems for inspection,repair or checking, make sure that no dirt is introduced intothe oil circuits. In the event of a contamination beingunavoidable due to the work to be performed, take care toreduce such contamination to a minimum and perform athorough cleaning afterwards.

In case of more extensive inspections, i t isrecommended to drain the oil, to clean the oil coolers, theoil tank and the bearing compartments in the same way asfor initial operation of new plant, and refill the oil via filters.After each inspection, the oil system should be subjectedto a short flush. It is recommended to install screens in thethrottle valves and to perform flushing for 12 hours. Oncompletion of this flushing procedure, all filters and screensshould be cleaned again.

If the oil piping must be flushed the following procedureshould be used.

2 Preparation of Bearing Compartments

Prior to commencement of the flushing procedure, thebearing compartments should be cleaned carefully. If anyreworking has been done in the bearing compartments(e.g. drilling), the chips should be removed by means of amagnet. In addition, the bearing compartments should becleaned with lint-free rags (never use cotton waste). Thecleaning agents used should leave no residue. Aftercleaning, the bearing compartments should be subjectedto a thorough visual inspection.

3 Preparing the Lube Oil System for Flushing

During flushing, the highest possible oil velocity is tobe maintained in the pipes.

When the bearings are installed, make sure that nocontaminated oil is introduced between shaft and babbit.To do this, remove the upper half bearing sleeves and fittemporary oil drain pipes to the inlet openings of the lowerhalf sleeves. Remove the valve cones from the permanentlyadjustable throttle valves before the bearings and insertthe flushing screens supplied with the throttle valves. Makesure that the hoses of the shaft lift oil system are notconnected to the bearings, as otherwise contaminated oilwill be admitted to the bearing journal.

4 Flushing Oil

The oil used for flushing must be provided by the user

and oil supplier as laid down in the generator manufacturer’soil specification. In this connection, it may become necessaryto consult the turbine manufacturer too.

The following methods are possible :

Use of the same oil grade for both flushing andoperation. On completion of the flushing procedure, oilsamples should be taken and analyzed to decidewhether the flushing oil charge can be used as serviceoil change after treatment by the oil supplier.Use of an oil grade intended for use as flushing oilonly. Its properties, particularly its viscosity, arematched to the special application. The oil charge iscompletely drained on completion of the flushingprocedure and replaced by a new service oil charge.The properties of the service oil and flushing oil mustbe suitably matched.

5 Flushing Procedure

Flushing all bearing oil lines and all shaft lift oil pipesof the generator should be performed in conjunctionwith the turbine according to the instructions issued forthe turbine.

During flushing, the oil lines should be hammeredregularly to remove dirt particles from the walls. Duringthe last third of the entire flushing period, the screens

2.5-0320-0500/2

should be temporarily installed in the throttle valvesupstream of the bear ings for checking the d i r taccumulation.

After draining of the flushing oil, remove any left dirtdeposits from the bearing compartments. Remove allbypasses, orifice plates or blank flanges as well as theadditionally installed filters. Refit the valve cones in thethrottle valves before the bearings. Assemble thebearings ready for operation. The hoses of the shaft liftoil system should be connected to the bearings and

checked for tightness.

6 Supervision of Oil Circuits

After recommissioning, all screens and filters shouldbe replaced and/or cleaned as frequently as possible.During commissioning, the oil should be checked forcontamination, e.g. via vent ports. In case of an extremelyhigh dirt content due to carbon dust, construction work,etc., special precautionary measures should be taken.

Measures to Prevent CorrosionDuring Inspections

The high strength austenitic material used for the rotorretaining rings, etc. is susceptible to stress corrosion if itis simultaneously subjected to high tensile stresses andmoisture (e.g. moisture condensing from the ambient air).If persisting for a sufficiently long period, stress corrosionwill lead to crack initiation and crack growth. Since tensilestresses are due to the shrink fit of these components andthus unavoidable, any prolonged exposure to moisture mustbe positively prevented.

During an inspection, the individual components of thegenerator are exposed to the ambient conditions whichmay result in hazards to these components. It is thereforestrongly recommended to take suitable measures forpreventing any exposure to moisture, especially rain, snow,liquids of any kind and condensation., Covering thecomponents will not afford sufficient protection.

To avoid the above-mentioned hazards, the assemblywork during an inspection should be accomplished underprotection from weather conditions. The generator shouldonly be opened if an uninterrupted execution of the workwill be ensured and provided that the necessary protectivemeasures can be taken. After opening of the unit andwithdrawal of the rotor, the stator openings should bepromptly reclosed. The stator should be dried by means ofa portable air dryer or fan-forced heater and kept aboveambient temperature level. The air dryer or fan-forcedheater should be arranged so that the air will circulatethrough the stator interior in a closed circuit for ventilation

of the entire internal space .The rotor should be protected in such a manner that

especially the retaining ring area can be kept dry and aboveambient temperature level. The air dryer or fan forcedheater should be arranged so that the air will circulate in aclosed circuit.

Primary water circulation should be maintained alsoduring the inspection work, as far as practicable. The heatloss of the pump is sufficient to keep the temperature ofthe primary water and thus of the stator winding aboveambient temperature level.

The cooling water should be drained from the coolers.The coolers should be cleaned, dried and maintained in drycondition by suitable measures.

During inspection work on the exciter unit , it should beobserved that the devices installed as a precautionarymeasure, such as anticondensation heating system andair dryer will no longer be effective after removal of theexciter enclosure. The required protection should berestored by suitable measures (covers, etc.) and portabledryers or hot-air blowers.

Normally, a condensation hazard can be recognizedwith the help of dewpoint measuring device. In case ofdoubt, however, it is recommended to dry the componentson a continuous basis in order to achieve a markedly lowdewpoint temperature on these components, i.e. to maintaintheir temperature above ambient temperature level.

Inspection ScheduleForeword

Preventive maintenance of generators serves toavoid major problems or damage while the unit is inservice.

Apart from its scope, the timing of an inspection isimportant. To account for the deterioration and stressesdue to different modes of operation, both the number ofoperating hours and the number of starts are used ascr i ter ia determin ing the in terva ls between theinspections.

The intervals recommended in the following are thesame as those indicated in the VDEW Recommendationsfor intervals between Generator Inspections (publishedby Vereinigung Deutscher Elektrizitatswerke – VDEW– e.V. in 1980). This Foreword contains a large numberof extracts from the VDE Recommendations.

The guid ing values g iven in the VDEWRecommendations are to assist the power plant owners/operators in scheduling inspections, taking into accountalso own experience on the performance of theirgenerators and that of sister machines.

1 Types of Inspections

Depending on the scope of work, a differentiation ismade between initial inspection, minor inspection andmajor inspection.

Type Feature DurationInitial Extensive checks, incl. Approx.Inspection removal of rotor 6 to 9 weeks

Minor Specific checks and Approx.Inspection maintenance without 1 to 3 weeks

removal of rotor

Major Removal of rotor Approx.Inspection 6 to 9 weeks

Table 1 Types of Inspection

The initial inspection is the first major inspection of thegenerator involving the removal of the rotor and is anessential prerequisite for assuring high reliability on a long-term basis. The scope of work and checks to be performedshould be agreed upon with the manufacturer in good time.The date of the initial inspection should be determined underdue consideration of changes that are likely to occur aftera relatively short service period.

The time periods given are guiding values. Dependingon the scope of the planned work of inspection findings,the inspection period is either shortened or lengthened.

2 InfluencesScheduling of the initial inspection and of the

subsequent inspections mainly depends on the number ofoperating hours and on the number of starts. Bothinfluences are considered in the parameter equivalentoperating hours.

Tequiv = Tact + ns . Ts

where

Tequiv = equivalent operating hoursTact = actual operating hoursns = number of startsTs = additional number of operating hours to be

considered for one start. According to thepresent state of knowledge 20 hoursaccount for one start of a turbogenerator.

The recommendations given in the following apply tonormal operation without major disturbances. Abnormaldisturbances, such as close-in system faults, faultysynchronizing, asynchronous running and inadmissibly highunbalanced load, may necessitate shortening of therespective inspection interval or an immediate check.

When scheduling inspections, also consider thefollowing factors :

Wear and deterioration of components.Deterioration of running behaviour.Frequency of load rejections associated with overspeed.Earth faults or interturn faults in generator field circuit.Hydrogen, water or cooler leaks.Change in coolant flow rates.Fouling of air-cooled generators.Deterioration of shaft insulation.Inherent fault (recognized deficiency in comparable

machines or components).

With proper performance of the generator and providedthat the inspection findings obtained by the preceedinginspection(s) have been favourable, the intervals betweeninspections may be lengthened within reasonable limits.

3 Recommendations for Scheduling InspectionsIt is recommended to perform the initial inspection after

10,000 h < Tequiv < 20,000 h

equivalent operating hours and to observe an interval of

40,000 h < Tequiv < 60,000 h

equivalent operating hours between two major inspections.It is recommended to perform minor inspections, i.e.

specific brief checks and maintenance work, during theservice period between major inspections. Whenscheduling minor inspections consideration has to be givennot only to the technical requirements of the generator butalso to those outage periods of the unit that are notattributable to the generator.

Scheduling of the initial inspection is primarily dictatedby the state of the art embodied in the end winding andstator slot support systems. The synthetic and insulatingmaterials used in generator manufacturing tend to developplastic flow (creep) under the influence of pressure andtemperature, especially during the initial period after

commissioning. The resulting setting and looseness canbe corrected during the initial inspection. Any deficienciesdue to manufacture, assembly or new design can thus beidentified and eliminated at an early date.

The specified interval between major inspections is inaccordance with the present state of the art in generatorengineering.

The special stresses attributable to each start orshutdown of the unit are considered in the equivalentoperating hours Tequiv of the generator which account forthe number of starts (ns). These stresses include :— effects of expansion and friction on winding andinsulation due to thermal and centrifugal force cycles.— special vibratory forces arising when passing throughnatural frequencies of various generator components.— material fatigue, especially of rotating parts, resulting

from the centrifugal force cycle.

The additional number of 20 operating hours to beconsidered for one start (Ts) has been determined by anagreement reflecting the present state of knowledge.

4 Inspection ScheduleAll important maintenance activities required for

maintaining the generator and its auxiliaries in propercondition are listed on the following Inspection Schedulepages.

If the work required in each case is performed at thespecified intervals, major financial losses and prolongedoutages can be minimized, the result being a high availabilityof the generator.

Measures for Preservation of GeneratorDuring Standstill

Also refer to the following information[1] 2.5 – 0030 Packing Transport and Storage of Generator Rotors

Preservation measures will have to be taken when awater-cooled generator is to be shut down.

The scope of the preservation work required dependson the duration of the shutdown, on the overall conditionsin the vicinity of the unit and on the extent to which checksand inspections are possible during such period. Thepreservation measures recommended in the following aresufficient under normal conditions. High relative humidityin combination with severe temperature changes involvesthe risk that the temperature of certain surfaces in thegenerator may drop below the dew point, resulting in thepossible formation of a moisture film due to condensationon these generator components. In such a case, specialmeasures may be required for preservation of the rotorretaining rings and rectifier wheels [1].

1 Generator InteriorThe hydrogen gas should be removed from the

generator. The stator and rotor windings should then beprotected against moisture by maintaining the generatorinterior at a moderate temperature or in dry condition bysuitable means. This may, for instance, be achieved by theprovision of a hot air blower or dryer. The generator interiorcan also be maintained in a sufficiently dry condition bykeeping the primary water system in operation as mentionedunder Item 7 with activated primary water heating system,if provided. No additional blowers are then required.

If additional blowers are used for drying, the air shouldbe admitted and discharged via branches at the exciterand turbine end manhole covers

Prior to recommissioning the generator, the insulationresistances of the stator and rotor windings should bemeasured and the windings dried, if required.

2 Bearing and Shaft SealsNo preservation measures are required on the bearings

of the turbogenerator and exciter and on the H2 shaft seals.However, the bearing and seal oil systems should be

placed into operation once a week and the entire systemadequately flushed with water free oil. After activation ofthe oil systems, the shaft should be operated on the turninggear for approximately three to four hours.

The supply of water to the bearing oil and seal oilcoolers is not required during this period.

3 CoolersAll coolers should be drained on their water sides

and dried by suitable measures. During the outage, thedrains and vents should be kept open.Caution : Never leave water-filled coolers standingidle for several weeks.

For cooler drying, hot air or dry ambient air may beused which should be admitted by means of blowersvia the cooling water inlet/outlet flanges. A fan-forcedheater with a rating of 1-2 kW has proved satisfactoryfor this purpose.

4 ExciterThe exci ter should be protected against the

formation of a moisture film due to condensation To dothis, the cooler should be drained, dried and maintainedin a dry condition, and the exciter drying system shouldbe kept in operation continuously.

The carbon brushes should be lifted off and thesliprings covered with oiled paper.

5 Bright ComponentsAll accessible bright components, e.g. exposed shaft

portions, should be protected with a suitable corrosioninhibiting oil or grease, e.g. Tectyl.

6 Seal Oil and Gas SystemsExcept for the work a l ready ment ioned, no

preservation measures are required on the coolers ofthe seal oil system.

During the weekly activation of the seal oil systemfor turning the shaft, the system should be inspectedfor proper functioning by checking all operating values.

All valves in the gas system should be closed. Noadditional measures are required.

7 Primary Water SystemAfter completion of the assembly or following a

prolonged shutdown of the unit, the primary watersystem should be placed into operation or kept inservice, with monitor ing and maintenance to beperformed in accordance with the information given inthe turbogenerator manual.

[2] 2.5 – 3300 Insulation Resistance Measurement on Rotor andExciter Windings

[3] 2.5 – 2310 Drying the windings

After each shutdown, the insulation resistances shouldbe measured prior to carrying out the inspection [1], [2],[3]. Depending on the scope of the inspection, the slotwedges should be checked for proper seating. The seatingof the end windings should also be checked.

After opening the generator, the interior should alwaysbe inspected for contamination of any kind. If contaminationis detected, its cause should be determined and correctedin order to preclude any new contamination. The generatorinterior should be cleaned thoroughly.

The bushings and expansion joints should be inspectedto ensure a proper connection between the bushings andthe phase connectors. The bushings should also bechecked for proper connection to the bus bars arrangedexternal to the generator.

All primary water hoses and pipes should be checked,leaving the generator filled with primary water, if possible.

When dismantling of the hydrogen cooler is requiredfor inspection, the cooler wells in the stator frame shouldbe checked for cleanliness.

All stator flanges should be checked for properalignment and seating. The stator should be checked fortight anchoring to the foundation.

All metering connections should be checked for propermounting and condition as far as practicable. This shouldinclude both the electrical metering connections and thepipe connections to the measuring instruments.

Prior to recommissioning, the insulation resistance ofthe stator winding should be measured and, if necessary,improved.

Cementing the Joints ofProfiled Gaskets

1 Survey of Adhesives

1.1 Sicomet 50Profiled gaskets should preferably be cemented

together by means of Sicomet one-component adhesive.This adhesive meets all requirements, its only disadvantagebeing the difficulties encountered in storage.

Sicomet should be protected from moisture, heat andsunlight and should therefore be stored in a dry, cool anddark place. To prevent an increase in viscosity anddiscoloring of the adhesive Sicomet is best stored at atemperature of –10°C. If stored under these conditions,Sicomet has an unlimited working life. Defrost Sicometprior to use and bring to room temperature.

Repeated freezing and defrosting does not affect thebonding properties. The maximum storage time at roomtemperature is six months. The adhesive not used up mustbe stored at a temperature of –10°C immediately.

1.2 PattexPattex cannot be used for cementing together gaskets

because of its low temperature stability (50°C max.) andinsufficient oil resistance.

The use of other adhesives, as, for instance, rubbercement, is likewise not permissible.

2 Preparatory Work and Application of Adhesive

2.1 Preparatory WorkThe exact length of profiled gasket is determined by

inserting it in the center of the sealing groove, allowing 30

to 40 mm in length for overlapping at the joint. The jointfaces could be cut so that the overlapping portion to becemented is approximately 30 to 40 mm long. When cuttingtake care that the profiles does not suffer any visibledistortion and that the pressure applied after pullingtogether the part to be mounted is exerted on the area ofcut (see arrow in Fig. 1). The faces to be cemented togethershould be well roughened.

2.2 Cementing the JointThe adhesive should be applied in drops on the joint

areas to be cemented together, using a plastic or metalspreader for obtaining a thin film Immediately afterwardsthe joint faces should be assembled and located in position.Because of the short curing time of 10 to 30 sec. anyreadjustment will be almost impossible. After curing, anycement residue should be removed from the outer surfaceof the bonded joint by means of emery paper.Warning : Sicomet should only be used in wellventilated work areas. Care must be taken to avoidbody contact. In the event of contact with the eye,rinse immediately with ample amounts of distilledor potable water to dilute the adhesive. The eyeshould then be treated to sooth any inflammationand a physician immediately consulted.

2.3 Breaking the Cemented JointsCemented joints which are to be broken should be

placed in a bath of either dimethyl-formamide for a briefperiod or ethylacetate for a longer time, resulting in swelling.

Sealing Generator End Shield Joints

Fig. 1 Mounting the Upper Half End shield

1 GeneralThe joints of the end shields and their flange

surfaces toward the generator frame are sealedgastight with profiled gaskets. Experience has shownthat an additional sealing compound must be applied inorder to obtain a gastight seal at the Tee-joints of thesepackings and at the flange surface of the seal ringcarrier.

2 Sealing CompoundThe recommended sealing compound is silicone

compound S with hardener TL.These should be mixed in a ratio of 100 g silicone

compound S to 3g hardener TL.

2.1 Preparing the Sealing CompoundMixing of silicone compound S and hardener TL

in the above-mentioned ratio should be done in a cleanand completely dry container. At a temperature of +20°C,the prepared mixture is usable for about 1 to 1½ hours.Following this period, the sealing compound starts tothicken and will have completely solidified after 3 to 4hours.

3 Bonding AgentPrior to applying the sealing compound, the surfaces to

be sealed should be wiped with a bonding agent using aclean, lint free cloth.

4 Mounting the Lower Half End ShieldPrior to attaching the lower half end shield to the

generator frame, wipe the flange surface with boundingagent over a width of 100 mm at the location of the agent.Wipe the mating flange surface of the generator framewith bonding agent too. Immediately before mounting therespective lower half end shield, silicone compound Sand hardener TL should be thoroughly mixed using theratio mentioned earlier. A thick coating of the compoundshould be brushed on the surfaces previously treated withbonding agent. The lower half end shield should then becarefully mounted, paying particular attention to the gasket.After curing, any surplus seating compound should beremoved with of a knife, scraper or similar device.

5 Mounting the Upper Half End ShieldSuspend the upper half end shield from the crane and

wipe its flange surface with bonding agent within the range

Page 407: Om Manual for 500 Mw Gen-bhel

2.5-2160-0500/2

Note : Detaching the flat iron bar and cutting flush thegasket should be done immediately prior to mounting therespective seal ring carrier. Experience has shown thatthe gasket will be forced out if seal ring carrier is notmounted immediately.

Caution : Any spaces coming into contact with turbineoil must not be contaminated with silicone compound.Should this happen, the area should be cleaned withextreme care after the sealing compound has cured.

of the joint over a width of 100mm at the location of thegasket. Wipe the mating flange surface of the generatorframe with bonding agent too. Following this, the joint

surfaces of the lower and upper half end shields shouldbe wiped with bonding agent within the range of the Teejoint and within the range of the flange surface for the sealring carrier over a width of 100 mm.

Apply a thick layer of ready mixed sealing compoundon the surfaces previously treated with bondingagent.The upper half end shield should then be carefullymounted, paying particular attention to the flange and jointgaskets.

After lowering the upper half end shield, but prior tobolting the end shield joint, secure the gasket in place witha flat iron bar to be attached with a 3 mm shim for spacing.If this is not done the gasket will be forced out too far atthe mounting face of the seal ring carrier during bolting ofthe end shield joint (see Figs. 2,3 and 4).

The gasket projecting slightly from the joint in this planeas a result of the contact pressure established by boltingthe end shield halves together as well as any surplussealing compound should be cut flush with the flangesurface with a sharp knife.

Insulation Resistance Measurementson Stator Winding

During manufacture and transport, the insulation of thestator winding may have been exposed to moisture whichwould reduce the insulation resistance of the windings.The insulation resistance should therefore be measuredprior to initial startup, after prolonged shutdowns and afterwork on the windings. If required, the generator should bedried until a sufficient insulation resistance is obtained.

1 Required Insulation Resistance of Stator WindingThe insulation resistance measured is dependent on

the temperature. To permit a proper assessment, acorrection to an agreed reference temperature (formerly75oC) must be made.

An insulation resistance of 1 megohm per each kilovoltof rated voltage at 75oC is normally attainable without anydifficulties.

New international standards specify an insulationresistance of not less than 1 megohm per each kilovolt ofrated generator voltage at 40oC.

A correction of the insulation resistance measured at

the winding temperature prevailing during the measurementto the above reference temperature can be made usingthe diagram in Fig.1.

If the insulation resistance measured is lower than thespecified minimum value, the neutral connections must beseparated and the insulation resistances of the individualwinding phases measured. During the test, the other twophases which are not involved should be grounded. If theinsulation resistances of the individual phases are likewiselower than the required limit value, drying of the windingswill be indispensable. Great differences in the insulationresistance values are indicative of local contaminations,e.g. insulators at bus duct or terminal bushings. Ifpracticable, additional connections should be separated.

If this measure does not result in an improvement, it isrecommended to obtain the services of a specialist fromthe manufacturer’s work.

2 Measurement of Insulation ResistancePrior to each measurement, the generator must be de-

excited and any static charges removed by grounding thewindings. The windings should also be grounded aftereach measurement for the duration of the rechargingperiod.

The insulation resistance of the stator is measuredbetween the winding copper and the stator core.

Prior to primary water filling, the insulation resistancesof the individual stator winding phases with respect to thesteel part should be measured by means of a 2.5 to 5 kVmegger.

During normal operation, the winding bars areelectrically connected to the grounded cooling watermanifolds through the water in the water inlet and outlethoses.

Because of the considerably lower resistance in thehoses, a determination of the insulation resistanceaccording to the known methods is no longer practicable.

To enable, nevertheless, a measurement of theinsulation resistance, this turbogenerator with water-cooled stator winding incorporates the following designfeatures:

The water manifolds for the cooling water are insulatedfor 5 kV against the frame and connected outside thegenerator via cables to the insulated contacts. Duringnormal operation, these contacts are connected to theframe, and thus grounded.The bushing hoses are provided with contact sleeves.

During measurements, the primary cooling water mustbe flowing, the required conductivity being < 1 µµµµµmho/cm.

To measure the leakage current according to Fig.2, thewater manifolds should be disconnected from ground,joined to the contact sleeves and connected to the samepower source as the windings. A micro ammeter should beinserted in the connection to the windings. Since, in additionto the very low leakage current, the power source is nowrequired to supply the possibly very high partial currentsvia the cooling water connections, batteries are not suitablefor this purpose. The dc voltage should therefore beobtained from a stabilized power supply.

The measuring circuit is shown in Fig.2.

To determine the insulation resistance of water-cooledwindings, the currents due to any cells resulting from thecooling water in the hoses between the winding copperand the water manifolds of steel must be taken intoconsideration. For this reason, the insulation resistance ofthe complete winding should first be measured by applyinga positive voltage. After discharging, the measurementshould be repeated with a negative voltage.

Note : Current may pass through zero. In such a case, theammeter should be changed over and the current read

Note:The primary water must flow through the windingduring the measurement.After measurement, the water manifolds shouldbe grounded again via the ground contacts.

and recorded, observing the negative sign. The rechargingcurrent is the mean value of the tests performed withpositive and negative voltage.

Individual phases can be tested by a similar procedure.The insulation resistance (R10) is calculated from the appliedvoltage and the 10 minute recharging current,

U (kV) R10 = ————— = 103 MΩΩΩΩΩ

I (mA)

Note : When the generator is filled with hydrogen, makesure that the rotor shaft ends are properly grounded duringmeasurement and discharging.

During measurement, the movement of ammeter AN isconnected to the positive pole of the stabilized powersupply (approximately 1000V to ground).

Temperature detectors may be installed in the ring-shaped water manifold. To protect the connected meteringleads and measuring instruments, the metering leadsshould be disconnected at the generator terminal strip (atstator frame) during the above test.

After completion of the measurements the measuringcircuit should be removed.

Drying the Windings

The epoxy resin insulation used for the stator windingsabsorbs practically no moisture. Any reduction of theinsulation resistance during transport, erection or aprolonged shutdown is mostly caused by the formation ofa moisture film on the surface of the insulation. Such amoisture film can be prevented or removed by insertingone forced air heater (approximately 2 kW) into each ofthe two end shield compartments of the open machine viathe respective manhole covers.

The generator interior can thus be heated to atemperature slightly above the ambient temperature. Thiswill provide for adequate drying of the stator and rotorwindings. The primary water pump should also be kept inoperation when the generator is at rest in order to maintainlow conductivity of the primary water. The circulation ofthe water with closed primary water coolers will result ina slight temperature rise of the primary water and also of

the stator winding. The resultant temperature preventscondensation of new moisture of the windings. When thegenerator is again sealed, the windings will normally remaindry.

In the event of a prolonged shutdown of the generatorit is preferred that the hydrogen be retained in the generator,thereby eliminating surface moisture on the windings. Ifthe hydrogen has to be removed from the generator forany reason, the primary water pump should be kept inservice and the winding temperature maintained at a valueabove ambient temperature. This should eliminate moistureproblems.

Should it become necessary to check the insulationresistance of the stator windings, e.g. after operation ofthe differential or ground fault detection system theinsulation resistance should be checked for a low-resistance ground fault with a megger.

Test Instruction forStator Slot Support SystemWith Top Ripple Springs

1 Function of Slot Support SystemThe slot wedging system serves to ensure that the

bars are, and remain, tight in the slots and that they arepermanently protected from possible vibrations in order toavoid damage to the insulation and the bars. Such forcedvibration of loose bars can be caused by the pulsatingelectromagnetic forces. A slot wedging system using apreloaded corrugated spring of epoxy-glass-laminate, theso-called top ripple spring (TRS), inserted between theslot material and the slot wedge-

- results in preloading forces far in excess of thepulsating electromagnetic forces,

- compensates for shrinkage (setting) of the slot materialby providing for resilience.

Bar vibrations are thus permanently suppressed.The required preloading force is obtained during

wedging by compressing the springs, except for a smallresidual amount of the normal spring deflection ofapproximately 2 mm. To achieve this, filler strips of therequired thickness are used. The force which the preloadedspring exerts on the slot material can be determined bydepressing the slot wedge from outside [1]. The testpressure to be applied for checking must be higher thanthe preloading force. The actual preloading of the TRS canbe accurately determined from the spring characteristicby way of the spring compression measured. To simplifythis evaluation in practice , limits are specified for thepermissible slot wedge movement which should normallynot be exceeded.

2 Test Procedure

2.1 Measuring PointsTo permit an assessment of the preloading, it will

normally not be necessary to check all slot wedges,however, the check should cover not less than 20 % ofthe total number of slot wedges. This means that at leastevery fifth slot wedge must be checked, excluding thebonded end wedges. However, not less than five wedgesmust be checked in each slot. The measuring points shouldbe distributed over the slot length so that a helicalconfiguration is obtained on the stator bore circumference,with the measuring points not being located side by sidebut staggered from slot to slot.

2.2 Test PressureThe test pressure to be applied to a particular slot

wedge depends on the thickness, number and compressedarea of the springs (approximately slot width x length ofslot wedge). The following versions are possible.

Top Ripple Springs Test Pressure FNumber x Thickness Per Wedge

1 x 0.8 mm 10 bar x NB in cm x KL in cm

1 x 0.9 mm 18 bar x NB in cm x KL in cm

2 x 0.9 mm 30 bar x NB in cm x KL in cm

2.3 Permissible Slot Wedge MovementsTo account for the very high electromagnetic forces on

generators, the permissible slot wedge movementsspecified below are very small. They include adequatesafety margins for preloading and resilience to ensure

reliable bar support during the subsequent service period.

Slot wedge movement shall not exceed 0.55 mm for notless than 60 % of all measuring points.Slot wedge movement at remaining 40 % of measuringpoints shall not exceed 0.75 mm.If one slot wedge movement of more than 0.75 mm ismeasured in any slot, the number of measuring pointsfor this particular slot should be doubled. If twowedges in any slot exhibit movements of more than0.75 mm, all wedges of this particular slot shall bechecked (except for end wedges) to ensure thatnot more than two excursions per slot exist.For slot widths of more than 60 mm, an additionalslot wedge movement of 0.1 mm is permissible toaccount for the elastic spring action of the slotwedges.

If the actual slot wedge movements measured duringthe next major overhaul are larger than the aboveguiding values, the condition of the slot support systemwill be separately investigated by BHEL, Haridwar whowill then issue recommendations regarding the need forrewedging under due consideration of :

the specific electromagnetic forces and preloadingforcesthe specific relaxation due to settingthe statistical experience with comparable unitscustomer’s specific requirements in respect of futureinspection intervals.

The individual assessment of the preloadingconditions relies on a comparison of the actual spring

loading with the electromagnetic force arising in theparticular generator. The remaining deflection determinedby depressing the slot wedges permits the actualcondition of the spring to be readily derived from theknown stress-strain characteristic of the top ripplespring.

The test record with the results of the depressioncheck should be forwarded to BHEL for evaluation ineach case.

2.4 Permissible Slot Wedge Movements AfterRewedging

During a rewedging operation [2], the preloading ofthe spring is restored by inserting filler strips of therequired thickness. To enable an easier and more reliabledetermination of the thickness of the filler strips, it isrecommended to measure the movements of all wedgesprior to rewedging. A residual spring deflection isrequired for elastic compensation of the thermalexpansion of the bars in the slots. After rewedging ofthe complete winding, the fol lowing slot wedgemovements are permissible :

Slot wedge movement shall not be less than 0.1 mmbut not more than 0.3 mm for not less than 75 % ofall measuring points.Slot wedge movement at remaining 25 % of measuringpoints shall not exceed 0.45 mm.

For test pressure to be applied, see table under item 2.2.

Note : New top ripples springs must only be fittedif the existing springs are found damaged.

Test Equipment forStator Slot Support System

The test equipment consists of two principalassemblies:

Hydraulic systemMechanical system

The test equipment was designed for use on generatorsof any size without any significant modifications beingrequired and can normally be assembled from locallyavailable standard components.

1 Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system consists of an oil-hydraulic jackwith hand-operated pump. The equipment should be ofmoderate size and weight for convenient use in the statorbore.

For exact setting of the jack pressure, a precisionpressure gauge must be provided between the jack andthe pump.

The connections between the pump and jack shouldconsist of hydraulic hoses. Rigid pipe connections are notadvisable, since the equipment must be suitable for use inthe stator bore.

2 Mechanical System

The mechanical system consists of a light metal tube ofapproximately 50 mm dia. x 5 mm (part 2).

To prevent compression marks on the stator core, amating thrust shim of fabric base laminate measuringapproximately 100 x 100 mm should be provided, takingcare that this size matches the radius of the stator core(part 1).

Page 416: Om Manual for 500 Mw Gen-bhel

The thrust piece and jack should be connected to thetube with intermediate fittings to obtain a single unit forcase of handling.

The hydraulic pressure is transmitted to the slot wedgethrough a thrust piece. The thrust piece should match the

slot width (NB) and the length of the slot wedge (KL) andmust be approximately 70 mm high to ensure a sufficientresistance to bending (part 4).

Tube, thrust pieces and jack (part 3) should bedimensioned so that the length of the device correspondsto the stator bore diameter.

3 Pump PressureThe necessary pump pressure P for the check depends

on test pressure F and the effective piston area Ak (incm2) of the available jack (also see rating plate). It iscalculated according to the following formula:

F P = ——— [bar]

Ak

For test pressure, see [1].

4 Measurement of Radial Movement of SlotWedge

The device described transmits test pressure F tothe slot wedge via the thrust piece. The resulting radialmovement of the slot wedge is measured with the dialindicators located at both ends of the thrust piece. Takethe mean of the two readings and enter this value in thetest record [2].

Rewedging of Stator Winding

1 Note

The need for rewedging may arise from the results ofa check[1]. The results of this check are contained in thetest record [2]. The permissible values specified in the testinstruction [1] include considerable safety margins toensure reliable operation during the service period untilthe next scheduled major overhaul. For this reason, thedecision on any major rewedging should only be takenafter consultation with the BHEL specialists.

Rewedging is done by inserting filler strips betweenthe top ripple spring (TRS) and the compression strip torestore the preloading of the top ripple spring. It isrecommended to have this work performed by BHELspecialists or under their supervision.

Prior to rewedging, the radial movement of all slotwedges should be measured as recommended in [1]. Thiswill enable an economical and fast implementation of therewedging work.

2 Removal of Slot Closing Elements

It is advisable to adopt a slot-wise approach forrewedging. As a first step, each slot wedge should bemarked with the slot No. and wedge No. on its top, using afelt pen. Marking should be done in accordance with thescheme specified in the test record [2].

In order to remove the slot wedges, start at one end ofthe stator core and remove wedges up to mid-length ofcore. Before proceeding with the removal of the remainingwedges, lock slot material in first half by inserting auxiliarywedges with a spacing of 500 mm. Set down each slotwedge removed together with the associated top ripplespring and the filler, compression and driving strips (tiedtogether with adhesive tape).

3 Checking the Slot Closing Elements Removed

All parts of the slot support system, including the topripple springs, can normally be reused.

Be careful to avoid damage when driving out the slotclosing elements. Slot wedges found with a permanentdeformation of 0.6 mm and more across their broad sideshould be replaced. The cemented end wedges requireparticular attention. Any end wedges found damagedshould be replaced by new wedges made with the samedimensions and geometry as the original end wedges. Theholes for the ventilating slots in the flanks of the end wedgeshould preferably be provided during the actual rewedgingprocedure.

Wear of the top ripple spring is revealed by lightdiscolorations at the peaks and valleys of the corrugations,these being indicative of separations between the individualglass cloth laminations. This effect has, however, hardlyany influence on the stress-strain characteristics of theTRS. Replacing such a TRS will normally not be required.The TRS should only be replaced in case of very seriousseparations extending over its entire width and length. Aspring replacement will be indispensable on fracture ofglass cloth laminations which can be easily checked withthe fingernails.

4 Rewedging Procedure

Provided that the slot closing elements removed can bereused, rewedging is done by inserting additional fillerstrips. The thickness of the filter strips depends on thedifference between the radial movement of the slot wedgemeasured prior to its removal as recorded in the test record[2] and the radial movement required after rewedging asspecified in [1]. In the case of units where all slot wedgeswere checked, the thickness of the filler strip can beseparately determined for each slot wedges :

Actual Value = Radial movement of slotwedges measured

- Nominal Value = Nominal radial movement ofslot wedge

= Thickness of filler strip

Example : 0.85 (radial movement of slot wedge

measured) - 0.20 (mean of upper and lower limit of

nominal value) = 0.65 mm (approximate thickness of filler strip

= 0.7 mm)

[3] 2.5 – 2346 Cementing Stator Slot End Wedges2.5-2345-0500/2

If only a restricted number of slot wedges is checked(not less than 20 %), adherence to the specified radialmovement may not be ensured. The thickness of the fillerstrip should preferably be determined on the basis of themean value of the radial wedge movement in the respectiveslot.

The filler strips corresponding to BHEL specifications.Rewedging should be started at mid-length of the core

in direction towards the core ends. To do this, remove theauxiliary wedges from one half slot section between mid-length of core end and then refit original slot wedges in thecorrect locations as marked. Proceed with the second halfsection by following the same procedure. After rewedgingof both halves of one slot has been completed, it isrecommended to check the radial movement of the slotwedges according to [1]. The results will be helpful inoptimizing the rewedging procedure. It is known from

experience that a comparison between the force requiredfor driving in the slot wedge and the radial movement ofthe slot wedge after rewedging provides informationenabling the fitter to make a correct assessment of thenecessary thickness of the filler strips. Such informationwill be particularly useful on units where not all slot wedgeswere checked.

Then proceed with rewedging of the remaining slots.Provided that sufficient experience is available checkingthe radial movement of the slot wedges will not be requiredafter rewedging of each slot. A final check [1] should beperformed after rewedging of all slots has been completed.This check should include not less than 20 % of the totalnumber of slot wedges.

Proceed with cementing of end wedges [3] aftercompletion of this check.

3 Preparing the AdhesivePress equal lengths of adhesive and hardener on to a

suitable base and mix to a uniform grey color. The preparedmixture is usable for approximately one hour at roomtemperature.

At room temperature, the adhesive has a cure time ofone to two days. After curing, the material is not brittle butsimilar to rubber.

4 Preparatory WorkThe end wedges should be cemented to the core on

both flanks over a length of not less than 50 mm as referredto the core end. These portions of the end wedge flanks arerecessed by 0.5 mm to provide reservoirs for the adhesive.When checking the installation of the end wedges, makesure that the end of the end wedge is positioned on thesupporting keyway of the core. If the wedge end coincideswith a ventilating slot in the core, the end wedge should beshortened by 5 mm. The top ripple spring pertaining to the

end wedge must be 60 mm shorter than the end wedge. Theresulting space should be packed with filter strips whichmust be cemented together and to the end wedge andcompression strip for protection against displacement.Cementing the top ripple spring is not permissible.

5 Cementing the End WedgesPrior to driving in the end wedge (part 2) roughen

surfaces of compression strip (part 7) with abrasive clothover a length of not less than 50 mm from core end, exceptfor surface in contact with the stator bar, and apply a thincoat of adhesive. Roughen filler strips (parts 5 and 6) withabrasive cloth over a length of 50 mm on both surfaces,brush both surfaces with a thin coat of adhesive and theninsert filler strips. Roughen driving strip (part 3) with abrasivecloth over a length of 50 mm and brush driving strip surfaceswith adhesive. Insert driving strip and top ripple spring.Roughen recessed portion of end wedge with abrasive clothand apply a thin coat of adhesive prior to driving in the endwedge with a mallet and hammer. Drive in end wedge, leavinga clearance of approximately 3m between the end wedgeand the adjacent slot wedge.

Place a suitably shaped piece of Metallon on thecompression strip ahead of the filler strips and the end wedgeand smoothen Metallon surface.

Caution: If bond extends over a length of two or three corepackets, make sure that no Metallon is left in ventilatingslots. Remove surplus Metallon prior to curing.

Treatment of Bolted Contact Surfaces

1 General

The silver plated contact surfaces and the bright coppersurfaces of the contact faces should be treated withcontact grease primarily to fill up the gaps remaining afterbolting.

In addition, the contact grease improves the electricalconductivity of the contact surfaces, it is chemically inertand water-repellent, it does not dry up, it cleans oxidizedcontact surfaces and protects them against corrosion.

Contact grease has a grease-like, pasty consistency.

2 Application

Degrease silver-plated contact surfaces by means of

a cloth wetted with solvent. In the case of the terminalbushing make sure that the insulators never come intocontact with the solvent.

Copper surfaces without silver coating should becleaned and degreased by means of solvent after emery-polishing.

After this preparatory treatment, apply the contactgrease to the contact surfaces with clean fingers in sucha quantity that a little excess grease is pressed out allaround on bolting of the contact faces.

If greased surfaces are soiled prior to making the boltedconnection, these should be cleaned and greased anew.

Excess contact grease should be wiped off with aclean rag.

Also refer to the following information

[1] 2.5 – 3300 Insulation Resistance Measurements onRotor and Exciter Windings

[2] 2.5 – 2310 Drying the Windings

1 Leakage Test of Field Current Lead

Before starting overhaul work and H2 purging, checkH2 seals at the field current lead for leakage. To do this,use a leak detector and check coupling flange betweengenerator and exciter rotors and field studs at rectifierwheels for gas leakage.

If no H2 gas leak is detected, the exciter should bedismantled. The exciter rotor should be uncoupled fromthe generator and a new leakage test of the central fieldconnection performed.

If a leak is detected during this leakage test, themanufacturer must be notified. The hydrogen should bepurged from the generator only after completion of theleakage test.

2 Rotor Wedges and Retaining Rings

If the rotor is removed, examine it carefully. The wedgesand retaining rings should be inspected for propercondition.

3 Shaft Journals and Shaft Seal Contact Faces

The shaft journals and shaft seal contact faces shouldbe checked for grooves. If any irregularities are detected,reconditioning should be carried out according toinstructions from our service personnel.

4 Cleaning the Rotor

After each withdrawal, the rotor should be cleaned

thoroughly, even if the visual inspection did not revealany contamination. Careful cleaning is important so asnot to damage any of the numerous insulated parts. Itis, therefore, recommended to make use of the servicesof our experienced product service personnel who willcarefully remove any dirt accumulations below theretaining rings and within the range of the end windingsby means of a special vacuum cleaner. Any inexpertuse of compressed air involves the risk of cooling ductclogging and of damage to insulated parts.

5 Contact Pins and Plug-in Socket Strips

The contact pins and plug-in socket strips should bechecked for arc erosion and proper contact resistances.Proper seating of the contact pins on the plug-in socketstrips can be verified by visual examination.

6 Coupling

The coupling flange at the rotor should be checkedboth at the guide flanges and at the fitting bolt holes.The coupling bolts should be inspected for propercondition.

7 Insulation Resistance Measurement

Prior to recommissioning, the insulation resistanceof the rotor winding should be measured and, i fnecessary, improved. Details are given elsewhere inthis manual [1], [2].

Insulation Resistance Measurementson Rotor and Exciter Windings

During manufacture and transport, the insulation of therotor winding may have been exposed to moisture whichwould reduce the insulation resistance of the winding.The insulation resistance should therefore be measuredprior to initial startup, after prolonged shutdowns and afterwork on the winding. If required, the generator should bedried until a sufficient insulation resistance is obtained.

1 Required Insulation Resistance of Rotor Winding

The insulation resistance should amount to ≥≥≥≥≥ 1 megohmat 40oC.

At winding temperatures other than 40oC, a correctioncan be made using the curve shown in Fig.1

2 Measurement of Insulation Resistance

Prior to each measurement, the generator must be de-excited and any static charges removed by grounding thewinding

The insulation resistance should be measured betweena slipring which is electrically connected to the rotorwinding and a second slipring in contact with the shaft,using a megger with a maximum voltage of 250V. Thisvoltage will present no danger to any of the devices in theexcitation circuit. The duration of the test should beapproximately two minutes.

After each measurement, the winding capacitanceshould be discharged for not less than two minutes.

The measurement should be performed with themeasuring brushes for the ground fault detection systemlifted off the sliprings.

Note: When the generator is filled with hydrogen, makesure that the rotor shaft ends are properly grounded duringmeasurement and discharging

Ultrasonic Examination ofRotor Retaining Rings at Power Plant

Austenit ic retaining r ings manufactured fromX55MnCr(N)18k steel are sensitive to stress corrosion,i f persist ing suff iciently long in an unfavourableenvironment during storage, operation or outages,stress corrosion may lead to crack initiation and crackgrowth. In addition to preventive measures to avoidstress corros ion, i t is advisable to arrange forexamination of the retaining rings at the power plant.Such an examinat ion is urgent ly required af terdisturbance during which the retaining rings are exposedto moisture. In the following the use of the ultrasonicinspection method for non-destructive examination isoutlined and recommendation are given on the testprocedure.

1 Purpose and Scope of Ultrasonic Examination

Ultrasonic examination of the shrink-fitted retainingrings serves to detect incipient cracks and particularlythose which have already grown to a dangerous size.The examination can only be performed with the rotorwithdrawn. It is therefore recommended to subject theretaining rings to such an examination during a majoroverhaul involving the withdrawal of the rotor.

In addit ion, i t is recommended to repeat thisexamination at regular intervals. Any changes detectedwhen comparing the test results with the previousresults provide useful information for assessing theintegrity of the retaining rings. The intervals at whichthe examination should be repeated can be the same asthe scheduled inspection intervals but should bedetermined on the basis of the inspection facts.

2 Flaw Detection

Ultrasonic examination of the shrink fitted retainingrings inevitably also involves the generation of spurious

echoes, resulting in the difficulties in the interpretationof the ultrasonic indications, particularly within the rangeof the shrink fits and on shapes deviating from thesmooth cy l indr ica l out l ine. Based on prev iousexperience and using special probe heads and referenceblocks, the BHEL specialists are in a position todetermine with a high degree of probability the flawsize from the indications obtained. According toexperience so far available, the detectable flaw size isfar below the critical flaw size that may result in asudden forced rupture. If the echoes reflected by aflaw are markedly above the spurious echo level of theinner periphery and can be interrupted as incipientcracks wi th a h igh degree of probabi l i ty, i t isrecommended to pull of the respective retaining ring forfurther examination.

3 Execution of Ultrasonic Examination

To perform the examination, the rotor must beremoved and supported so that an inspection ispracticable on the entire circumference of the retainingring. The coating of the retaining ring should be strippedwith a paint remover. Care should be taken to ensurethat the winding and insulating parts do not come intocontact with the paint remover. Openings in the poleareas and the gaps between the retaining ring and rotorbody should be sealed.

After completion of the examination, the oil-wettedportions of the retaining ring should be degreased witha solvent. When performing cleaning work care shouldbe taken to ensure that the winding and insulating partsdo not come into contact with the solvent. The retainingring should then be repainted and the rotor reinserted.

Approx imate ly three days are requi red forpreparations and execution of the examination, includingrepainting of the retaining rings.

Hydrogen Cooler

Also refer to the following information[1] TWA 57 905 Measures to prevent Corrosion damage

Depending on the extent of the inspection, thehydrogen coolers should be cleaned thoroughly bothon the gas and water sides. During a less extensiveinspection, when the hydrogen is left in the generator,the tubes should be cleaned on the water side only. Forthis purpose, no withdrawal of the coolers will benecessary. The return water channel can be removedafter the inlet and outlet valves at the coolers are closed.It is advisable for wet cleaning to slightly lower than thecooler water level by opening the outlet valve for ashort time.

The tubes are cleaned by special brushes, whichare moved up and down in the individual tubes of thetube bundle. After all tubes are well brushed, any dirtshould be drawn off through the drain connection in theinlet/outlet water channel. The vent pipe connection inthe inlet/outlet water channel should be detached forbrushing of the cooler vent pipe. After all tubes arebrushed, a new flat gasket should be fitted and thereturn water channel t ight ly bolted to the uppertubesheet of the cooler section. This should be followedby reopening the inlet and outlet valves. Whereby thetube bundle is flushed with cooling water. The coolercleaning interval depends on the cooling water conditionand is indicated when a substantial reduction of thecooling capacity is observed at the coolers. A repetitionof the tube cleaning every two months may be necessarywhen the cooling water is heavily contaminated. It maybe possible, however, that the interval between onecleaning and the next amount to several years. It isrecommended to perform the first cleaning operationtwo months after initial commissioning. The date at which

the next cleaning will be required can be determined atthat time. The intervals for cleaning can, however, bedefinitely fixed only after several years of operation.

Brushing of the tubes normally suffices for cleaning.Any scale deposits which cannot be removed bybrushing should be dissolved with a hydrochloric acidsolution. For this purpose, a 10% solution with the usualpicking additives left in the tubes for several hours willbe sufficient. It is advisable, in the event of sufficientexperience not being available, to have such chemicalcleaning work be performed by specialist firms.

The coolers should be withdrawn from their wellswhen more extensive inspection work is required. Afterwithdrawal, the coolers should be thoroughly inspectedon the gas side. On detection of any contaminations,the gas side should be cleaned by means of dry andclean compressed air. The coolers should then beinstalled in the generator housing, using new gasketsfor reassembly.

At every generators inspection, the return waterchannel and inlet/outlet water channel of the hydrogencooler sections should be removed. Care should betaken in this work so that the water channels andgaskets are not damaged and that their location issufficiently marked for easy reassembly. The waterchannels should then be cleaned thoroughly. Thesmallest trace of contaminations should be removed.Any damage detected on the protective coast must beproperly remedied prior to reassembly of the cooler.After cleaning, the water channels and gaskets can beinstalled observing of the aligning marks. For additionaldetails, see separate instruction [1].

Insertion and Removal ofHydrogen Coolers

1 General

Each cooler section consists of a tube bundle, theupper and lower tubesheets and the inlet/outlet andreturn water channels. The upper tubesheet is largerthan the cooler well opening and used to fix the cooler.Gastight sealing of this tubesheet is done by a roundcord packing. The lower tubesheet is sealed but is freelymovable and capable of following the differentialmovement of the cooler due to the different thermalexpansions. Gastight sealing of the lower tubesheet isdone by a packing–type seal.

2 Checking the Generator

Prior to inserting a cooler section, the cooler wellshould be thoroughly checked for dirt or other foreignmatter. All compartments and surfaces in the well shouldbe subjected to a vacuum cleaner treatment. Never usecompressed air for this purpose, since the compressedair will only raise the dirt and carry it to inaccessiblelocations. The flange and sealing faces and the groovefor insertion of the round-cord packing should becleaned. Any burrs or compression marks should beremoved with a smooth-cut file.

3 Sealing the Cooler Section at the Upper HalfStator End Shield

The round-cord packing should be cementedtogether in accordance with the instructions givenelsewhere in this Manual [1], and then inserted into thegroove.

4 Inserting the Coolers

The cooler section to be inserted should be cleanedand suspended f rom the crane hook us ing thesuspension device of the return water channel. A secondwire rope should be attached to the nozzles of the inlet/outlet water channel and suspended from a secondcrane hook The cooler section should be brought in anupright position. With the cooler section in vertical

position, the lower wire rope should be removed andthe section positioned over the respective cooler wellopening.

If no second crane is available for bringing the coolersection in vertical position, the sections should be raisedby means of one crane hoist only, exercising utmostcare. To do this, suitable wooden supports should beplaced on the operating floor in order to protect thecooler sections against damage at the tilting edge andto ensure a firm footing of the section on the floor duringtilting.

The cooler section should be slowly inserted intothe cooler well, taking care that the resilient seal stripsbed against the gas baffle and that the round-cordpacking is correctly positioned in the groove.

The seal strips, which are resiliently mounted to theside walls of the cooler section, serve to seal the gapbetween the cooler section and the cooler well. In casethese seal strips fail to perform their function, hydrogencan flow past the cooler section without being cooled.For this section, the seal strips should be thoroughlychecked for proper functioning.

After the cooler section has been lowered intoposition, the wire ropes should be removed and analignment check performed at the lower tubesheet.There must be a uniform spacing between the tubesheetand the cooler well opening on all sides. The uppertubesheet should then be firmly bolted.

5 Seal ing the Cooler Sect ion at the LowerTubesheet

After alignment of the cooler section in the coolerwell and tightening of the flange bolts at the uppertubesheet, the hydrogen gasket should be inserted.

Note: During operation, the cooler section againstexpands in downward direction, requiring a gastightsliding contact between the tubesheet and the Veegasket over the distance due to thermal expansion.For this reason, the compression ring should not betightened excessively, as otherwise the sliding motionwill be impaired and/or excessive contact.

Seal Oil System

The work to be performed at an inspection is verydifficult to determine in advance. The scope of this workdepends on what defects were detected from the dateof the last inspection. The operating log should bechecked to determine which deficiencies should becorrected at the inspection.

The following inspection work should normally beperformed :

1 Seal Oil Filters

The filter to be cleaned should be taken out of serviceby changeover to the standby filter.

Remove cover of seal oil filter and complete screeninserts. Clean screen inserts with a solvent. To do this,drive out cotter pin and unscrew knurled unit. Base,fabric-lined supporting cylinder and screen ring cannow be pulled off the magnetic strainer unit. Rinse thescreen inserts with clean turbine oil to thoroughlyremove any solvent residue. Reassemble using newgaskets.

2 Differential Pressure Regulating Valves

Disconnect the signal pipes from the pressureregulating valves. Drain the seal oil from the signal pipes.Disassemble the valve head and valve yoke.

This work should be performed with utmost care soas to avoid damage to the sliding surfaces. Beforeremoving the valve yoke, unload the compression spring.

Remove the main bellows and the upper and lowersealing bellows. Check all sliding surfaces and valvecones for damage or wear. If damage or wear isdetected on the sliding surfaces, the bushings shouldbe replaced. Replace the main bellows and the upperand lower sealing bellows.

Seal Oil Pumps andBearing Vapour Exhausters

1 Electrical Motors of Seal Oil Pumps

At the manufacturer ’s works, the ant i f r ict ionbearings of the seal oil pump motors are packed withgrease sufficient to give troublefree service for a periodof two to three years. For this purpose, a grease onlithium-soap base with a drop point above 160°C is used.The period will be shorter under onerous serviceconditions or at high ambient temperatures. On expiryof this period, a thorough cleaning of the bearing interiorand an inspection for wear will be required. This worknecessitates a withdrawal of the armature, followedby washing the bearing shield bore, the bearings andthe bearing covers with light petroleum to which a smallquantity of oil was added, until the grease is completelyremoved. The bearings should then be packed withgrease of the same grade, taking care that both sidesof the cages are covered with grease so that aneffective seal is obtained against the ingress of foreignmatter. The unit can then be reassembled. Afterreassembly, a check should be made whether the shaftturns properly in the bearings.

Measure the carbon brush wear on dc motors. If thebrushes are heavily worn, new carbon brushes shouldbe installed.

Measure the insulation resistances between thewindings and ground with a 500 V megger. If theinsulation resistances does not comply with the relatedequipment manuals, the motors should be dried in anoven at approximately 70°C for several hours.

2 Seal Oil Pumps

Disassemble the seal oil pumps. Check whether thedummy pistons, the screws or the deep-groove ballbearing are worm. The passages in the casing insertand the sliding rings should also be checked. The sealrings and gaskets should be examined for tight sealingand replaced, if required.

Prior to recommissioning the seal oil system, add asmall quantity of turbine oil via the oil filling plugs on theseal oil pumps to ensure proper lubrication of the shaftseal and the necessary sealing of the screws for suction.

3 Bearing Vapor Exhausters

The antifriction bearings of the exhauster motorsnormally require no maintenance.

After approximately 8000 operating hours, thebearing vapor exhausters should be thoroughlyexamined. The motor should be disassembled and thebearings cleaned and packed with new high meltingpoint grease or replaced by new bearings. Remove theold grease from the regreasing device and check thepacking washer and seals for wear. If necessary,replace the packing washer and seals. Be sure toobserve the specified order of the spring washers andspacers when reassembl ing the uni t . Onrecommissioning of the unit, measure the vacuum in thebearing compartments.

Gas System

Also refer to the following information[1] 2.5 – 0310 Leakage Tests

The work to be performed at an inspection is verydifficult to determine in advance. The scope of this workdepends on what defects were detected from the dateof the last inspection. The operating log should bechecked to determine which deficiencies should becorrected at the inspection.

The main purpose of an inspection of the gas systemis to restore a satisfactory gastightness. All pipeconnections of the gas system should be checked forleaks [1] before the unit is shut down. All leaks shouldbe marked and corrected during the inspection.

In addition, the scope of inspection work dependson the intervals between inspections, the scope of thework performed during the preceding inspection and onthe time available. During a full-scale inspection the partslisted under items a, b and c should always be replaced.Depending on the inspection conditions, the followingwork should normally be performed.

a) Remove and clean the dust filters in the CO2/H2 puritytransmitter. If required, insert a new sintered bronzefilter.The throttle element should be unscrewed, cleanedand reinserted.

b) Check and, if required, replace the pressure reducerdiaphragms.

c ) Check all valves of the gas system for leaks. Ifrequired, replace the diaphragms and valve inserts.

d) Check the gas dryer for leaks at the changeovervalve assembly and, if required, replace the gaskets.Perform functional check of the fan and heater.Replace the absorbent material of the dryer.

e) Drain the heat transfer liquid from the CO2 vaporiser.Disassemble the CO2vaporiser. Replace old gasketswith new ones and reassemble the CO2 vaporiser.

Fill the CO2 vaporiser with heat transfer liquid untilthe liquid level is observable in the riser of theexpansion vessel. Then functionally check the CO2vaporiser.

After completion of all inspection work on the gassystem, the gas system and generator should be leaktested. For this test, the main gas and measuring gaspipes at the generator should be closed. The waste gasvalves should then be closed, followed by filling thegas system, including the connected equipment, withhydrogen or air. During the filling procedure, the valvesat the gas valve rack (except for the waste gas valves)should be open cont inuously to ensure that a l lcomponents are included in the leakage test. The testpressure should correspond to the rated gas pressureof the generator. The air of gas supply should be shutof f when the test pressure has been reached.Subsequently, the pressure drop in the system shouldbe monitored for a period of 24 hours. The gas systemcan be considered sufficiently tight when the pressuredrop during a 24 hour test with compressed air doesnot exceed 0.15 bar. When this test is performed withhydrogen filling, the permissible pressure drop is 0.57bar. It should be noted, however, that these valuesexclusively apply to the gas valve rack and theconnected pipes up to the next shutoff valve. A checkby means of a leak detector should be performed whenhigher pressure drops are observed at the leakage test.On sealing of the leaks, the leakage test should berepeated until satisfactory results are obtained.

On completion of the inspection work, the electricalpurity meter system should be calibrated with pure CO2and H2.

Treatment and Cleaning of Pipesin Primary Water Circuit

1 General

The pipes of corrosion-resistant resistant chrome-nickel steel used in the primary water circuit of water-cooled generators are welded according to the TIGmethod with SAS 2/G, using argon (99.9 %) as shieldinggas.

Any required pipe bends should be made only bycold bending on the pipe bending machine or pipe elbowsshould be welded in.

2 Treatment of welds

After welding, the welds should be treated asfollows:

Fusion check(surface penetrant test)The fusion check to be carried out on each weldaccording to the surface penetrant method.Mechanical treatment or cleaning of pipes tarnishedby welding.Even when using a shielding gas, the pipes tarnish

up to 20 mm from the weld. On completion of thewelding work, the tarnished portions of the pipesshould be cleaned mechanically on the outside andas far as accessible, on the inside, too. Use onlybrushes of corrosion resistant chrome-nickel steelfor such mechanical cleaning work. For grindingwork use only new grinding wheels or wheels thathave been in contact with corrosion-resistantmaterials only.Flushing the pipes welded at the power plant.Prior to assembly, all pipes welded at the powerplant should be flushed with hot water at 80°C orwith Chlorothene NU at ambient temperature.Following this, all parts should be dried by blowingthem out with water and oil-free compressed air. Allpipe lines not required for immediate service shouldbe closed at the ends.

Water Circuit[2] 2.5 – 7384 Leakage Test of External Primary Water

Circuit.

1 General

Prior to startup of the turbine-generator, the completepiping system should be flushed. Any dirty and dustparticles in the system in spite of the extreme care takenin the installation will thus be retained in the main filter.

It is assumed that all pipework is in clean conditionand that all pipe sections replaced during the inspectionhave been subjected to the treatments and checksspecified elsewhere in this manual [1].

2 Preparatory Work

Prior to flushing, the following work should beperformed:

Install bypass pipes between inlet and outlet of

stator windingterminal bushings.generator main leads (if provided).generator main circuit breaker (if provided).

Close above components by fitting closure discs.

Close all equalizing valve assemblies upstream ofvolume flow measuring devices.Remove all orifices and screens, if provided.Ensure that tank MKF60BB001 is not filled with resinsand has been drained.Remove filter element from filters MKF60BT001.Isolate N2 supply line and vent gas line by closingshutoff valves MKF91AA502 and MKF91AA506.

Check to ensure that primary water pumps are readyfor operation. Heat water by simultaneously placingboth primary water pumps in operation after fillingof primary water circuit.

3 Flushing the Complete Piping System

Fill system with cold or hot deionate (up to 50°C) viathe filler valve in accordance with the instructions forfilling the primary water circuit.

Ensure that pressure in primary water tank does notexceed the ful l -scale value of pressure gauges(MKF91CP001 and MKF91CP501. For this reason, keepdrain valve MKF91AA505 open during filling and flushingprocedures and adjust the filling rate accordingly.

Initial flushing should be performed for 8 to 12 hoursat a water temperature of 45 to 50°C. Vibrate all pipingand welds to facilitate removal of dirt.

Then drain all flushing water from the circuit. Open,clean and reassemble main filter.

Repeat flushing procedure until no dirt particles arecollected in the filter.

4 Preparing Primary Water Circuit for LeakageTest

Leakage Test of ExternalPrimary Water Circuit

Also refer to the following information[1] 2.5 – 7382 Flushing External Primary Water Circuit.

1 General

A leakage test of the external primary water circuitis required after a major overhaul of the unit. This testserves to inspect all components of the system for leaks.

2 Preparatory Work

The external primary water circuit is normally cleanedbefore the leakage test is performed [1]. Since the testis restricted to the external circuit, the stator windingand the terminal bushings with the phase connectorsshould be and must remain isolated from the externalprimary water circuit by means of closure discs.

During the leakage test, pressure gauge MKF91CP501in the waste gas pipe should be replaced by a pressuregauge of accuracy class 0.6 with a range of not lessthan 10 bar.

All other pressure gauges and pressure transmitterswith a range of less than 10 bar should be isolated fromthe primary water circuit by cleaning the respectivevalves.

All shutoff and gas valves in the primary watercircuit should be opened.

3 Filling the Circuit

The circuit should be filled with deionate via thefiller line (shutoff valve MKF60AA504) and properlyvented, making sure that all drain valves have beenclosed prior to filling.

Observe water level I the primary water tank duringthe filling procedure. Water level in primary water tankshould be approximately 300 mm. Ensure that all waterlines connecting to the primary water tank are filled

with water.

4 Applying the Test Pressure

Admit nitrogen at a gauge pressure of 10 bar toprovide a gas cushion above the water level in theprimary water tank. The test pressure is to be appliedfrom a nitrogen bottle connected to the gas pipe to theprimary water tank via a pressure reducer. Beforeapply ing the test pressure, c lose shutof f valveMKF91AA508 and open shutoff valve MKF91AA502.Pressure rise in circuit can be read at pressure gaugeMKF91CP501. Close shutoff valve MKF91AA502 whengauge pressure in circuit amounts to 10 bar.

5 Leak Detection

Inspect all flanged, bottle and welded joints in primarywater circuit as well as the respective shutoff valvesfor leaks while maintaining constant pressure. Repairany leaks detected and repeat the leakage test.

6 Terminating the Leakage Test

The primary water circuit may be considered assufficiently tight when no leaks are detected by visualexamination and when no pressure drop is observed atpressure gauge MKF91CP501 during a test period of 10minutes (after thermal equilibrium has been reached).Drain external primary water circuit after completion ofthe leakage test, remove all closure discs and promptlyreasonable the primary water circuit.

Place primary water system in operation immediatelyafter the system has been restored to its previouscondition.

1 General

The scope of work to be performed during aninspection depends mainly on the equipment on whichdefects have been detected since the last inspection. Itwill therefore be necessary to extract from the operatinglog all deficiencies to be corrected during the inspection.

In accordance with the inspection schedule [1], thefollowing inspection work should be performed.

2 Hydrogen Leakage Test

Prior to removing the hydrogen gas from thegenerator casing, the dc field connections should beleak tested.

To do this, check the coupling between the generatorand exciter and the terminal bolts between the rectifierwheels with a potable leak detector.

3 Dismantling and Cleaning the Exciter

Remove exciter rotor. The coupling flange at the rotorshould be checked both at the guide flange and at thecoupling bolt holes. Check coupling bolts for propercondition and take dimensions.

Check field connection for gas tightness. To do this,a cover with top-mounted pressure gauge should beattached to the coupling flange and sealed gas tight.The space inside the cover should then be pressurizedat a gauge pressure of 6 bar via the compressed airconnection. With gas tight lead, no pressure drop ispermissible within a period of about six hours.

Any accumulations of dirt in the ventilating air ductsof the rotor, at the diodes, fuses and heat sinks must beremoved. Cleaning should be done very carefully to avoiddamage to the numerous insulated parts. It is, therefore,recommended to remove these contaminations with abrush, cloth (non-l inting) and a vacuum cleaner.Particular care should be exercised when cleaning theporcelain bodies of the diodes.

4 Measuring the Insulation Resistances of theWindings

Disconnect cables at stator terminal boards of thepilot and main exciters.

Remove measuring brushes of ground fault detectionsystem from slip rings.

The insulation resistances to ground of the individualwindings should be measured with a megger. For details,

see the respective instructions [2].

5 Drying the Windings

After a prolonged shutdown of the exciter, areduction of the insulation resistance may be causedby the formation of a moisture film on the surface of thewinding. Such a moisture film can be removed by dryingthe main exciter rotor. This should be done by placingan air dryer into operation, which was installed asadditional precaution against corrosion.

6 Checking the Diodes, Fuses and Rectif ierWheels

For details, see the respective instruction [3].

7 Emergency Cooling and Makeup Air Filters

The drive motors of the actuators for the emergencycooling f laps should be subjected to a thoroughfunctional test. The drive motors of the actuators forthe emergency cooling flaps should be subjected to athorough functional test. Perform the maintenance workin accordance with manufacturer’s special instructions.

The filter mats of the makeup air filters should becleaned or replaced. To enable their reuse, slightlycontaminated f i l ter mats should be beaten out.Otherwise, the filter mats should be washed in cold tolukewarm (30°C maximum) suds (e.g. Pril). When placingthe filter mats in the suds, make sure that the air inletside points downward. After washing, the filter matsshould be rinsed with clean water.

8 Bearing and Labyrinth Rings

Check the insulation of the bearing, pipe connectionsand, labyrinth rings. For details see the respectiveinstruction [4].

If the bearing babbitt is found grooved, our erectionengineer should be consulted regarding further use ofthe bearing.

The strips of the labyrinth rings should be checkedfor proper condition and replaced, if required.
