Hi,
I am look for information on different generators for wind turbines. Could you help me to complete the following caracteristics?
Stator turn insulation (A), stator groundwall insulation (B), rotor winding insulation (C), stator wedge material (D), cooling method (E), known generic issues...
Hi,
Herewith attached is the description of the scenario which, I suppose, occured on this motor. This based on the consulted measurements reports and on the visual inspection (see pictures on the former post)...
ElectricPete,
I agree with the faxct that the scenario of krsh is good.
You also suggest that the initial cause could be excess clearance in the non-coulping-end bearing.
However the clearances of both bearings which were measured in 2009 by the repair shop were within the tolerances (10% of...
Electricpete,
Q1: see attachement
Q2: only a derbis
Q3: yes it is (mistake from my part the stratches are only present on the bottom part of the bearing)
Q4: yes
Indeed a problem with oil could damage the bearing in such a...
Krsh, Electricpete,
Thank you for your answers!!!
I also tend to think that the added metal has been eroded on the side of the bearing (there are not only scoring). The current bearing clearance should be measured to get an answer.
On the top of the bearings, there are only scratches probably...
Thank you for your replies!
rem: sorry for my english: that is not my mother language.
WHAT IS CERTAIN:
A) Stator/Rotor
a1 - the motor is DOL started
a2 - the rotor rubbed the stator on NDE on the left when looking from CCW side.
a3 - the recent ring test showed hot spots on the whole damaged...
The rub is on the left side when looking from the end where the rotor goes CCW.
I also think that the problem was intermittent because the vibration measurements - which are never performed during the motor start phase - do not show any (permanent) eccentricity.
Hi Krsh and Electricpete,
Thank you both for you replies.
Krsh,
The babbit was machined in 2009. Do you think that particles from the babbit could have torn away the bearings and damaged the babbit surface?
Electricpete,
The bearing clearance is 0,0095 inch (0,24 mm). The depth of the marks...
Hi,
We discovered damages on a HV Motor having the following parameters:
Rated voltage: 6kV
Power: 5500 kW
Freq: 50 Hz
RPM: 1490
Operation: water pump (power station)
Airgap: 3 mm
Pictures from the stator, the rotor and the bearings are presented in attachement.
- This motor was rewound, the...
