3.0. Inductive Transducers:Inductive transducers are those in which the self-inductance of a coil or the
mutual inductance of a pair of coils is altered in value due to variations in the
value of the quantity under measurement.
The measuring principle is based on the fact that the impedance of a coil
with iron core depends on the size of air gaps in the magnetic circuit. The
curve of the characteristic ie., Impedance as a function of the air gap is
shown in fig: 2(a). The characteristic almost has the shape of hyperbola. It has
its maximum value when the air gap is zero and approaches a value called
Basic Impedance Zero as the air gap becomes larger. This strongly bent
characteristic is very steep when the air gaps are small. When the air gap
becomes larger no measuring effect can be observed 9

These 2 coils L1and L2 are connected to form a measuring bridge as shown
in fig: (2c). A fixed a.c voltage is fed to the bridge across the terminals (2) and
(4).
For a particular position of the collar of the turbine shaft, the air gaps d 1and
d2are identical. Hence the bridge is in balanced/equilibrium. When the bridge
is in balanced state, there is no potential difference across the terminals (1)
and (3).
When the turbine shaft changes its position, the air gaps between the coils
L1and L2and the collar will vary. This varies the inductance of the coils L1and
L2resulting in unbalancing of the bridge. Hence a potential difference exists
between the terminals (1) and (3) and this output voltage is processed as
measured quantity. The characteristic of this measuring set up i.e., the output
voltage as a function of air gap is shown in fig: 2(d). The characteristic is
almost linear in the area of passage through zero and this area is used for
measuring the quantity.
This type of inductance transducers i.e., non-contact type is used for HP, IP,
LP differential expansions and axial shift of Turbine.
Inductance type transducers (contact type) are used for measuring HP, IP
casing expansions, HP, IP control valve positions and LP bypass control valve
positions.

The fixed points of 210 MW turbine casing are as shown in the fig: 3. Supports
for the turbine casing are as detailed below.
IP rear pedestal and LP rear pedestal are anchored rigidly over the
concrete foundation. Since IP casing and LP casing are supported on these
pedestals, they act as absolute fixed points for the respective casings.
Moreover the middle of the LP turbine outer casing is supported on the
concrete foundation through key and key-ways (Left & Right). Thus the middle
point of LP turbine outer casing acts as absolute fixed point for thermal
expansion. This facilitates thermal expansion of one half of LP outer casing
towards IP turbine end and the other half towards the generator end. Since IP
rear pedestal and LP rear pedestal are fixed points the thermal expansion of
both halves of LP turbine outer casing (with reference to middle fixed point)
towards both the ends is accommodated by stainless steel bellows provided
for this purposes.
HP front and rear pedestals are located on the concrete foundation with a
sliding support. HP outer casing is seated over these two pedestals.
IP outer casing is seated over HP rear pedestal (sliding support) and IP rear
pedestal (fixed support).
4.1 IP Turbine Casing Expansion:
IP turbine outer casing, on heating, will expand towards HP turbine end
13

8/12/2019 Turbo Supervisory System
13/41
4.2 HP Turbine Casing Expansion:
HP turbine outer casing, on heating, will expand towards HP front
pedestal with reference to IP rear pedestal as fixed point. But the effect of IP
turbine casing expansion will be super imposed on HP turbine casing
expansion. The pick up of HP turbine casing expansion is located on the
bedplate of HP front pedestal. Hence the value measured by this pick up will
be a total of HP turbine and IP turbine casing expansions and it is not an
absolute thermal expansion of HP casing alone.
The transducer used for measuring HP/IP turbine casing expansion is of
inductance type (contact type). The part which is subject to a linearmovement and whose movement is to be measured ie: HP front pedestal for
HP casing expansion / HP rear pedestal for IP casing expansion is connected
by a rope to a rotatable measuring device called as CAM as shown in figure:
(4). This measuring device (cam) forms the magnetic return path for the two
sensor coils. The linear movement of the HP front/rear pedestal will be
transmitted as a rotary movement of the cam through the rope. The air gaps
between the cam and the coils depend on the angle of rotation. As the air
gaps vary due to the rotation of the cam, the output voltage of the bridge will
also vary.
5.0. Differential Expansion:
Differential expansion is the difference in the thermal expansions of the

The fixed points for the casing and the rotor shown in figure (3). It may be
observed that the inner casings of HP, IP and LP turbines are supported in their
respective outer casings in such a way that both the rotor and the casing
expand in the same direc tion in all three cylinders.
5.1 HP Turbine Differential Expansion:
Transducer of the HP differential expansion is located in the HP front
pedestal adjacent to the journal bearing in such a way that it measures the
linear movement of a measuring disc / collar which is provided in the HP rotor.
The linear movement of the measuring disc is due to the following thermal
expansions.
(i) Since the IP casing expansion leads to physical movement of the HPrear pedestal, the thrust bearing itself is subjected to a movement
towards the HP front pedestal end and hence the entire rotor itself.
Hence the measuring disc is also subjected to an equivalent physical
movement towards the HP front pedestal end.
(ii) Direc tion of HP rotor expansion with reference to the thrust bearing(fixed point) of the rotor is towards the HP front pedestal end and the
measuring disc hence moves towards HP front pedestal end due to
HP rotor expansion
(iii) Since the transducer is mounted on HP front pedestal, the effect ofHP and IP casing expansions together will result the movement of the

expansion, the air gaps d1and d2between the measuring disc (in the rotor)
and the two coils will change. Thus the inductances L1and L2change as well
but inversely.
The coils are connected to form a measuring bridge as shown in fig: 5.
Alternating current is fed to this bridge, which is in equilibrium when the air
gaps are the same. The output voltage of the measuring set-up depends on
the changes of the air gaps and this will be measured as HP differential
expansion.
5.2 IP Turbine Differential Expansion:
Transducer for the IP Turbine differential expansion is located in the IP rear
pedestal adjacent to Hydraulic turning gear in such a way that it measures the
linear movement of a measuring disc/collar which is provided in the IP/LP
rotors coupling itself. The linear movement of the measuring disc is due to the
following thermal expansions:
1. Since the IP casing expansion leads to physical movement of the HP rearpedestal, the thrust bearing itself is subjected to a movement towards
the HP front pedestal end and hence the entire rotor itself. Hence the
measuring disc is also subjected to an equivalent physical movement
towards the HP front pedestal end.
2. Direc tion of IP rotor expansion with reference to the thrust bearing (fixedpoint) of the TG rotor is towards the Generator end and the measuring
19

Inductance type (non-contact type), which is explained in sec: 5.1 for HP
Differential Expansion.
5.3 LP Turbine Differential Expansion:
Transducer for measuring the LP turbine differential expansion is located in
the LP rear pedestal at the coupling between the Generator rotor and the LP
rotor. The face of the coupling itself is of a double cone shape and the
transducer measures the linear movement of the double cone. The linear
movement of the double cone is due to the following thermal expansions:
1. Since the IP casing expansion leads to physical movement of the HP rearpedestal, the thrust bearing itself is subjected to a movement towards
the HP front pedestal and hence the entire rotor itself. So the measuring
double cone is also subjected to equivalent physical movement towards
the HP front pedestal end.
2. Direc tion of LP rotor expansion with reference to the thrust bearing (fixedpoint) of the rotor is towards the Generator end. The effect of IP rotor
expansion will be superimposed on LP rotor expansion since both the
rotors are coupled together. So the measuring cone moves towards the
Generator end due to LP rotor expansion as well as IP rotor expansion.
3.The transducer is mounted on LP rear pedestal and it is not subjected toany physical movement, as the LP rear pedestal is the absolute fixed
point for the LP turbine casing.

parallel to the rotor collar, but in the double cone arrangement adopted here,
the measuring cone makes an angle of 15 deg with the horizontal line.
The transducer is positioned parallel to this angled face at a distance a.
Now let b be the actual displacement to be measured.
Then a =b sin =b sin 15
= 0.25 b
For a cone angle of = 15 , an axial displacement of results in an air
gap change of a, which is equal to 0.25 b. Thus the large changes in
displacement can thus be reduced to relatively small changes in the air gaps.
6.0 Axial Shift of Turbine:
The axial shift of turbine rotor is the physical shift of rotor due to the
action of any unbalanced axial thrust on it.
The axial thrust experienced by the multistage rotor in the direction of
steam flow depends on the rate of steam flow and pressure drop in the moving
blades in various stages of the Turbine. When the steam passes through the
moving blades of a reaction stage, the rotor experiences an axial thrust due to
pressure drop across the moving blades.
The cumulative axial thrust on the rotor needs to be balance exactly so
that the rotor acquires a correct and fixed position in its dynamic condition.
21
-
8/12/2019 Turbo Supervisory System
21/41
The IP and LP turbine stages are of double flow type. Hence the axial
thrust gets balanced automatically since the rate of steam flow and theamount of pressure drop across the stages are opposite and equal. In HP
cylinder, which is of single flow type, the rotor would experience cumulative
axial thrust due to the pressure drop in all the stages of the moving blades. This
cumulative axial thrust is balanced by the provision of a Balance Piston.
To maintain proper axial position and to take up any unbalanced axial
thrust, the turbo-generator rotor is positioned and supported by a double collar
thrust bearing located in the HP rear pedestal. In the thrust bearing, 2 collars
which are integral with the rotor, rotate between the thrust shoes made up of
segments and thus they are supported. The clearance between the collar and
the shoes is small and the bearing is lubricated by forced circulation of lub oil. If
the rotor starts to move in either direction (due to unbalanced condition), the
axial thrust is transmitted to the shoes through the lub oil film.
Transducer for measuring the axial shift of the turbine rotor is located inthe HPT rear pedestal adjacent to the thrust bearing in such a way that it
measures the linear movement of a measuring disc provided in the coupling
outer surface between HP and IP rotors. Since the thrust bearing acts as a fixed
point for the rotor, the thermal expansion of the rotor here is zero. Hence the
effect of thermal expansion of the rotor will not affect the position of the
measuring disc. Movement of this measuring disc is only due to physical shift of
the rotor (due to unbalanced axial thrust). The transducer thus measures true
physical axial shift of the rotor 22

7.0 Turbine Speed:
The speed of a turbine is a measure of revolutions in unit time and it is
measured as revolutions per minute. The operating speed of turbine is 3000
rpm.
Measurement and monitoring of the speed of turbine will be necessary
for the following:
i. For automatic control of the turbine control valves for speed raisingduring start-up
ii.
During normal operation, the optimum speed of the turbine is to bemaintained.
iii. To help the operator to run the turbine at an optimum speed duringemergencies such as load shedding, grid disturbances etc.,
iv. To achieve accurate speed control when the generator feeding onlyto its unit auxiliaries (house load condition).
v. For conducting the over-speed test.Transducer for the measurement of turbine speed works on the principle
of Hall Effect and it is called Hall probe. This Hall probe is located in the HPT
front pedestal at the coupling end of main oil pump adjacent to Hydraulic
speed transducer (Governor Impeller)

changed with the changes in the distance between the object and the probe.
This leads to changes in the flux density. As this probe converts the magneticflux density into a proportional voltage, all the characteristic parameters of flux
densities changing in time can also be measured.
7.2 Measurement of Speed:
In this arrangement, a non-magnetic disc is fitted with 120 small magnets
of alternating polarity around its circumference. The disc is mounted on the
24

25
-
8/12/2019 Turbo Supervisory System

shaft by means of the hub ring at the coupling end side of main oil pump. Four
Hall Effect generators (Hall probes) are placed opposite at a small distance
from the pole surface of the disc as shown in Fig: 8. These probes are of
contact less type and three out of four probes are used here. When the turbine
rotor is in rotation, the reluctance of the magnetic circuit gets changed
alternately and hence the flux density. This leads to the generation of an
alternating voltage whose frequency is proportional to the speed of the
turbine rotor.
7.3 Generation Of Actual Speed Signal:
The output signal of each Hall-effect generator is approximately
sinusoidal and its frequency is proportional to the speed of the turbine. The
output signal of each Hall probe is passed to a separate pulse converter. Each
of these pulse converters amplifies the Hall effect voltage and multiplies to
form 3 square wave signals. One of the 3 signals of each pulse converter is
routed to pulse amplifiers.
A pulse monitor continuously monitors the 3 output signals of the pulse
amplifiers for failures. This is implemented by cyclical scanning of the input
pulses. The second signal in the chronological order is selected in the channel
selection circuit as the actual speed signal and supplied to a
frequency/voltage converter. In this frequency/voltage converter, the square
wave signals are converted into analog signals.

(HPSV) and HP Control valve (HPCV) just before HP turbine. The HP turbine
exhaust steam (Cold Reheat Steam) is taken to the reheater through two C oldReheat Lines. The reheated steam is sent to the IP turbine through two hot
reheat lines. A set of IP stop valve (IPSV) and IP Control Valve (IPCV) is
available in each hot reheat line. The exhaust steam of IP turbine is flowing to
the LP turbine through two cross around pipes. Finally the exhaust steam of the
LP turbine is sent to the condenser.
HPSVs and IPSVs are meant for instantaneous isolation of the turbine from
the boiler in case of turbine tripping. HPCVs and IPCVs are used to regulate the
steam flow into the turbine.
Indications about the position of the above mentioned turbine valves are
helpful for the turbine operation Engineer to understand the existing condition
of the turbine. Valve positions need to be monitored due to the following
reasons:
a.To verify whether the turbine generators execute their controllingfunctions effectively.
b.To supervise the healthiness of each valve.c.To observe and record the positions thereby knowing the operating
status of turbine.
d.To raise the speed of the turbine and also to control it while starting up

movement is to be measured, ie, valve stem is connected by a rope to a
rotatable measuring disc called as C AM as shown in Fig: 4. This measuringdevice is similar to that explained in sec : 4.2 for the measurement of HP/IP
casing expansions.
ith the above type of transducer, the positions of the following valves are
measured:
i. HP control valve (Left)ii. HP control valve (Right)iii. IP control valve (Left)iv. IP control valve (Right)v. LP bypass control valve (Left)vi. LP bypass control valve (Right)
9.0 Vibrations:
All bodies possessing mass and elasticity are subjected to vibration. The
rotating machines are to be designed in such a way that the vibration levels
are acceptable. Reliability of Turbo-Generators performance depends greatly
upon the level of vibration. Higher level of vibration results in fast wear out of
components such as rotor, bearings, couplings etc. Since the vibration is an
application of alternating forces it will result in catastrophic failure of the 28

an unbalance creates a centrifugal force that deflects the rotor. It results in
radial displacement of the rotor. A rotor is said to be perfectly balanced whenits mass distribution is such that the summation of all the centrifugal forces is
zero and the summation of the moments of these forces about the centre of
gravity is also zero.
Turbine rotors are manufactured with a high degree of prec ision. Still
some residual unbalance, it unavoidable. Main causes of Unbalance in a
new rotor are usually due to the factors such as machining tolerances,
assembly procedures etc. During operation, this unbalance results in vibrations,
which are transmitted through the bearing and the bearing pedestal on to the
foundation.
For the rotors, which are in service, Bow or Deflection is the cause of
unbalance. Some of the causes of shaft Bow are hereunder:
1. Lengthy horizontal turbine rotors, which are supported in oneposition, for a long period after shut down, may develop bow. This
is due to non-uniform distribution of its weight along the rotor.
2. During shut down, a bow may develop in the rotor because ofnon-uniform distribution of heat.
3. Rubbing in glands and seals will cause hot spots, which can bowthe rotor.

1. Misalignment of rotors due to improperly seated bearings.2. Mechanical looseness at the supports.3. Oil whirl in the fluid film bearings (oil whirl is caused by the instability of
the rotor supported in the fluid film)
9.2 Critical Speed:
All rotating machine components have more than one natural
frequencies of oscillation; the frequencies at which they will vibrate
enormously. When the speed of rotation is nearing its natural frequency, even
a small amount of unbalance in rotor causes unacceptable vibration leading
to resonance. The speed of the rotor is known as C RITICAL SPEED. At these
critical speeds only, all the unbalanced forces in the rotor resonate and c reate
maximum amplitude of vibration. Above or below each critical speed,
resonant effects diminish. Hence the turbo machines are designed such that
the natural frequencies do not coincide with the operating speed.
9.3 Need Of Measurement:
Vibration measurement and monitoring are warranted due to the following
reasons:
1. It is useful to diagnose the healthiness of the turbine to avoid failure. Anychange in quiet running means a deterioration of the balanced state of
the rotor 30
-
8/12/2019 Turbo Supervisory System
30/41
4. It is useful to correlate with probable failures by having history of vibrationdata as a function of changes in the process parameters such as load,temperature etc.
5. It is useful to estimate how much longer a machine can be safely run byobserving the trend in vibration level
When the normal operating speed of the turbine rotor is less than its first
critical speed, the rotor is said to be a rigid rotor. When its normal operating
speed lies above its first critical speed, the turbine rotor is said to be a flexible
rotor. The critical speed values of 210 MW turbine rotors (Units 4 to 7 / TPS-II) are
indicated below:
CRITICAL SPEED (in rpm):
HP rotor IP rotor LP rotor Gen. Rotor Combined
1 First critical speed 4230 3858 1818 1370 1544
2 Second critical speed >3600 >3600 >3600 3400 2126
9.4 Absolute Vibration of Bearing Pedestal:
Pick-up used for measuring absolute vibration of bearing pedestal is of
SEISMIC MASS TYPE (contact type). This type is a velocity transducer. In this, the
mechanical vibration is converted to an electric signal which is proportional to
the velocity of the vibration.

The plunger coil is suspended from the housing by a spring. The inherent
frequency of the spring/mass is
= 2f = (c/m)1/2
where m is mass of the plunger coil with spring and C is the spring constant.
When the vibrating frequency is above the inherent frequency, the
plunger coil is steady in space due to its mass inertia. Thus a fixed point in
space is created and the vibrations can be measured with reference to this
point.
Whenever this transducer (seismic device) is firmly connected to the
surface of the vibrating item to be measured, a relative motion is generated
between the permanent magnet and the plunger coil. When the permanent
magnet vibrates and the spring-suspended coil is stationary in space, the coil
cuts magnetic lines of force resulting in generation of voltage.
The voltage is proportional to the vibration veloc ity (the rate of
vibration); the strength of the magnetic field, and the number of turns of wire in
the coil.
e = B.l.v
Where e is Induced voltage,
B is magnetic induction of the permanent magnet,

specification for the pick up. The sensor, provided here, generates 20mV for a
vibration velocity of 1 mm/sec.
The amplitude of vibration is usually indicated rather than the rate of
vibrations. This is achieved by integrating the sensor output voltage, which is
proportional to the rate of vibrations.
9.5 Relative Vibration of Shaft:
Relative shaft vibration is the radial periodic motion of the shaft with
respec t to the bearing or casing. Radial shaft position is the position of the shaft
with respect to the bearing or casing and depends on the operating state of
the turbine and on the condition of the bearings. The range within which the
radial shaft position may change is very much greater than the vibration travel
amplitude of the shaft. The relative vibration is thus superimposed over the
change of the radial shaft position.
The measurement is carried out in a contact less manner according tothe eddy current method. A non-contact sensor requires external electronic
circuitry to generate a very high frequency a.c signal and detect vibrations in
the a.c signal caused by the vibration of the shaft.
The electronic circuit, called a signal sensor, generates a very high
frequency electrical signal. This signal is applied to a small coil of wire in the tip
of the non-contact pick-up. The high frequency electric signal applied to the
coil generates a magnetic field. This electro magnetic alternating field
34

closer the coil to the shaft, the greater the loading effect and the smaller the
amount of elec trica l signal.
As the shaft moves relative to the tip of the pick up, the strength of the
electrical signal changes proportional to the movement. The variation in the
strength of the electrical signal is thus proportional to the amount of vibration
and is further processed.
Schematic diagram of non-contact pick-ups is shown in the fig: 10. The
signal sensor consists of a high frequency oscillator, an amplitude detector
(Demodulator) and an amplifier.
When the incoming supply is ON, the transducer starts working. Theoscillator generates a very high frequency electrical signal, which is applied
through a cable to a small coil of wire in tip of the pick up. The variation in the
strength of this elec tric signal occurs as explained earlier and it is proportional
to the amount of vibration.
The amplitude modulated high frequency electric signal of the
transducer is demodulated by the amplitude detector to give a d.c voltage
signal proportional to the gap (the distance between the tip of the transducer
and the shaft is called Gap) and an a.c. signal voltage proportional to
vibration. These signals are then amplified to a high level to give usable output
voltages.

junctions of the pair of dissimilar metal wires. One end is fused together to for a
measuring junction called as the hot junction and the other end, the cold
junction or the reference junction and are connected to a measuring device.
The temperature at the hot junction is determined by measuring the voltage
appearing at the cold junction. The voltage developed is a function of the
difference in temperature between the hot and the cold junctions. Hence the
temperature of the cold end junction must be accurately known.
The desirable properties of thermo couples for industrial use are
i Relatively large thermal e m fii Prec ision of calibrationiii Resistance to corrosion and oxidation.iv Linear relation of emf to temperature.
In order to prevent the forming of a second hot junction, the wires of
thermo couples are insulated from each other.
Ni-Cr-Ni Thermo couples are provided for measuring turbine bearing
metal temperature for the following (Ref. Fig. (12), (13) & (14)
