Text pages: &
‘The following checks and measurements have been performed during a small inspection on the
generator:
isassembly / assembly of TE/EE top end shields;
= Open / close top bearing shells;
- Visual inspection of all accessible parts;
- Visual bearing inspection;
- Measurement of winding insulation and winding resistance values;
+ Electrical check atthe temperature sensors
(The rotor has not been disassembled for performing the small inspection.)
Fact-finding has been carried out by visual inspections at the components which were accessible from the
‘outside. In addition, electrical and visual inspections have been performed at the opened generator leads
and terminal boxes.
‘The evaluation ofthe fact-finding results shown below allows the conclusion that all generator assemblies
accessible from the outside are in a serviceable condition, Please make certain to observe the
recommendations described in section 5

‘The bearing inspection did not yield any negative diagnostic findings. There is no objection to the continued
Use of the bearings. The bearings should be smoothened or reworked during reassembly. The rubber
‘gaskets or Kautasit gaskets forthe oil scraper rings or bearing applications have to be replaced.
‘The covers and plates have been reinstalled on the generator after completing the inspection.
5.0 Evaluation of inspection
{A visual inspection of all assemblies accessible at the generator stator and rotor was carried out, and all
‘ohmic and insulation resistance values were measured during this inspection without rotor removal
‘The effective insulation resistance values ofthe stator windings are good.
But the measured polarization index PI indicates humidity forall 3 phase windings.
‘These measurements should be carried cut in every case afler reinstaling the generator in the new power
plant
‘The value has been assessed by applying the folowing cxiteria
DAR PI__| Insulation condition
=1.25 <1 | Insufficient
<2__| Action required
[ =i8 <4 | Good.
16 34 | Excellent
‘The winding should be dried when the PI factor falls below 2 again. We recommend the use of a Munters
dryer for this purpose, Adapter disks are mounted to the generator at present.
“The slip rings need to be ground off or skimmed before start-up.

No shaft earthing/grounding brush is available either but needs to be installed at the TE housing as a

The slot closure wedges should be checked when the inductor is removed. It is expected that wave-spring
‘wedges will be used in this generator again. These wedges are also subject to an aging process.
‘A determined residual spring excursion must be implemented, depending on the strength of the installed
resilient comugated packing strip. Otherwise, bar retention inthe slot would not be guaranteed any longer,
‘and damage might be caused to the bar insulation due to relative movements in the long run.
