The
turn to turn short circuit of rotor winding is a common fault of generator, but
it is troublesome to deal with the fault. The turn to turn short circuit will
not only affect the output, but also cause vibration. Therefore, attention
should be paid to it. The AC impedance and loss test, DC resistance test,
no-load and short-circuit test required in the "pre regulation"
cannot be used as the final basis for formulating. According to the nature
(static or dynamic) of inter turn short circuit, the induction electromotive
force phase method and differential detection coil method can be used to
determine.
Purpose of AC impedance
test of generator rotor
If there is a turn to turn short circuit in the
rotor winding, the effective turns of the rotor winding will be reduced, and
its AC impedance will be reduced, and the loss will be increased. Therefore, by
measuring the AC impedance and power loss of the rotor winding, compared with
the previous test data, we can effectively judge whether there is inter turn
short circuit in the rotor winding.
Test method
Apply AC voltage to rotor winding and read
voltage, current and power loss values.
The applied voltage is regulated by voltage
regulator.
Precautions
(1) The values of impedance and power loss are
determined by themselves. Under the same test conditions, there should be no
significant change compared with the values over the years.
(2) The hidden pole rotor is measured out of bore
or in bore and at different rotating speeds.
(3) Each test shall be conducted under the same
conditions and voltage, and the peak value of test voltage shall not exceed the
rated excitation voltage.
(4) After the rotor arrives at the site and before
it is penetrated into the generator, the out of bore rotor AC impedance test
shall be conducted, and the in bore test can be conducted after the rotor is
penetrated into the generator. This project is a single test, which should be
carried out by the installation unit.
(5) Before the whole set of unit starts, test
instruments and wiring shall be prepared in advance. The unit in charge of the
test shall be conducted by the commissioning unit and the installation unit
through consultation.
(6) In the process of unit speed up, select
different speed points to test until the unit constant speed of 3000 rpm.
(7) After the over speed test of the unit, the
test shall be conducted again.
(8) During the test, attention should be paid to
disconnect the excitation circuit. In order to avoid damage to the excitation
circuit; due to the influence of excitation equipment, it cannot be pressurized.
(9) During the test, the external temporary power
supply with sufficient capacity shall be selected, and the power switch with
leakage protection shall not be used.
(10) Before the test, it should be confirmed that
the carbon brush grinding meets the process requirements to avoid affecting the
accuracy of the test data.
Test wiring
If not, the following instruments can be used and
connected according to Figure .
Instruments used: voltage regulator, standard CT,
AC ammeter, AC voltmeter, active power meter.
Instrument selection: it is required to provide
the data of AC impedance tester out of bore test, select AC voltmeter according
to its applied voltage, and select standard CT, AC ammeter and active power
meter according to test results.
