Reposting here from vibration forum.
This is a 1500 RPM, 50 Hz no-break MG set with an diesel engine, flywheel with clutch, an ac motor and a dc generator. The whole train is mounted on AVM pads on a common concrete base as shown.
With the engine disengaged and only the ac motor driving the flywheel and the DC generator, the vibrations are consistently high in the region of 5 to 10 mm/sec rms. I have enclosed the overall vibration levels (over a 3-week period) and the spectrum for each bearing of the flywheel, the ac motor and the dc generator.
I look forward to your opinions for the causes of such high vibrations, especially the 3X to 5X vibrations of the flywheel and when the diesel engine is not running.
