MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF 500 MW TURBO GENERTOR STATOR WINDING BAR

AT BHEL HARIDWAR

HARSHIT AGARWAL 08070105022

INTRODUCTION
In 1956 India took a major step towards the establishment of its heavy engineering industry when BHEL, the first heavy electrical Manufacturing unit of the country was set up at Bhopal. BHEL's Heavy Electrical Equipment Plant (HEEP) was set up in technical collaboration with USSR, for the manufacturing of power plant equipment. In 1976, BHEL entered into a collaboration agreement with M/s Kraftwerk Union, AG of Germany for design, manufacturing, erection and commissioning of large size steam turbines. More than 40 percent of the country's electrical energy is generated from the power equipment supplied by BHEL, Haridwar.

Why do we call it bar?


It is quite difficult (rather impossible) to manufacture, handle and wind in the stator slot of generator of higher generation capacity because of its bigger size and heavy weight. That is why we make coil in two parts. One part its bottom part of coil called bottom or lower bar and other part of coil is called top bar or upper bar.

Resin System:
Rich Resin or Thermo-reactive insulation system: In this type of insulation system the bond content in resin is 35 37 %. The raw materials are ready to use and require preservation and working on temperature 20 250C. Its shelf life is one year when kept at a temperature of 200C which could be increased when kept at temperature of 50C. Poor Resin or Micalastic insulation system In this type of insulation the bond content in the resin is 5 7% and insulating material is prepared with accelerator treatment. The temperature control need is not required. The insulating material is applied on job and then same is impregnated (fully dipped) in the resin.

Transposition
Transposition means changing/shifting of position of each conductor in active core (slot) part. After cutting the required number of conductors The conductors are arranged on the comb in staggered manner and then bends are given to the conductors with the help of bending die at required distance. Then the conductors are taken out from the comb and die and placed with their ends in a line and transposition is carried out. This process is repeated for making another half of the bar which would be mirror image of the first half. The two halves of the bar are overlapped over each other and a spacer is placed between the two halves.

Transposition is done in two ways:


Half Pitch Transposition: In this transposition, the first conductor at one end of the bar becomes the last conductor at the other end of the bar. Full Pitch Transposition: In this method of transposition, the first conductor at one end of the bar becomes the last conductor in the mid of the bar and then again becomes the first conductor at the other end of the bar. Need of transposition. 1. To reduce eddy current losses. 2. Equalize the voltage generator. 3. To minimize skin effect of ac current.

Testing
Tan test: This test is carried out to ensure the healthiness of dielectric (Insulation) i.e. dense or rare & measured the capacitance loss. Bar will act as capacitor when it is laid in the stator of the generator. Schearing Bridge which works on the principle of wheat-stone bridge is used to find the unknown capacitance of the bar. For good efficiency, capacitance of the bar should be high but we never approach pure capacitance. Bar is wrapped with aluminum to make the bar conductive throughout the outer surface of the bar. The two conducting material i.e. the aluminum sheet and the conductors of the bar act as two plates of the capacitor and the insulation on the bar act as dielectric medium for the capacitor thus the capacitance is found. Of angle of deviation due to impurity in the insulation is obtained from the formula: C4 * R4 * 10^-4 = tan

H.V. Test: Each bar is tested momentary at high voltage increased gradually to three times higher than rated voltage. This test is also known as insulation test because this test is performed to check the insulation of the bar. For 500 MW the working voltage of the bar is 64.5 KV & for 210 MW the working voltage of the bar is 63 KV. In this test the bar which is already wrapped with aluminum is used. High voltage is applied to the bar using auto-transformer and it is increased in steps according to the working voltage of the generator. If the insulation is weak the bar will puncture at the place of weaker insulation. If any of the bar fails this test i.e. bar is punctured at any point then the bar is sent back for re-insulation and all the processes are repeated again
