Parties without express authority is strictly forbidden.
Special emphasis has been placed on designing an electrical machine with good mechanical
stability. The box shaped machine base design allows the stator core with windings to rest directly
on the foundations, thus ensuring that all static and dynamic forces are transmitted directly into the
foundation.
A combination of short distance between the bearing centres and rigid bearing supports placed
under the centre of each bearing, minimises the level of vibration. Traditional sleeve bearings of
split type design are employed. The bearing liners are easily replaceable.
The rotor is of salient pole design running below the first lateral critical speed with a safe margin. A
very high thermal capacity is characteristic for this rotor design.
The shaft can be designed for double end drive, an often cost effective solution in combined cycles
where the gas turbine can drive the generator from one end and the steam turbine from the other.
Brushless excitation is achieved by a rotating exciter mounted on the main shaft outside the bearing
at the non driven end. The excitation power is taken from a permanent magnet generator driven by
the main generator shaft. The equipment is easy accessible for inspection.
The AC generator is tested according to a standard inspection plan issued by ABB.
