Technical Data
Stator/Rotor Core
• L aminated and enamel-insulated on both sides to
minimise eddy-current losses
Rotor
• Salient pole type.
• Copper flat wire construction.
• H class insulated with enamel coating.
• Winding retaining by pass-through bars of high quality
steel
• Rotating rectifier: Graetz diode bridge with 6 diodes with
surge suppressors
• Rotors are dynamically balanced with a half key applied
to the shaft extension in accordance with
• IEC 60034-14 to vibration grade norm A.
• Rotor is balanced by adding weight on the fan and the
balance ring.
• Special vibration level constructions are available.
Operational Considerations
• Self-exicted brushless excitation system (Standard)
• Permanent Magnet Generator (Optional)
• Coastal Insulation Protection (Optional)
• Anti-Condensation Heater
• IP23 Protection (Optional)
• Three layers of anti-corrosive treatement to the rotor and
stator.
Technical Parmeters
• Rated voltage: 220-480V, 3-Phase
• External voltage adjustment: +/- 10%
• Steady state voltage regulation factor: ≤1%
• Overspeed endurance: 2250 rpm for 2 minutes
• Overload endurance: 110% for 1 hour,150% for 2 minutes
Accreditations & Certifications
