Table-1 overall shaft vibration readings of Generator DE and NDE before & after
balancing under no load
Table-2 overall casing vibration readings of Generator DE and NDE before & after
balancing under no load
Observations:
Fig-3 showing vibration measurements taken on Gen NDE casing. Data showing
predominant peak at 1X component (Cursor value) and its corresponding vibration
level in mm/sec RMS (Vibration data taken with the end shield assembly)
Fig-4 showing vibration measurements taken on Gen NDE casing. Data showing
predominant peak at 2X component (Cursor value) and its corresponding vibration
level in mm/sec RMS (Vibration data taken with the end shield assembly)
Gen DE Horizontal
Fig-5 showing comparative time waveform data of casing vibrations taken on Gen
DE and Gen NDE in horizontal direction
Gen DE Vertical
Fig-6 showing comparative time waveform data of casing vibrations taken on Gen
DE and Gen NDE in horizontal direction
Gen DE Axial
Fig-7 showing comparative time waveform data of casing vibrations taken on Gen
DE and Gen NDE in horizontal direction
Fig-8 showing overlay time waveform plots of casing vibrations taken on Gen DE
and Gen NDE in horizontal direction
25 Hz or 1500 rpm
50 Hz or 3000 rpm
Fig-9 showing 2 events occurring in each revolution/cycle, data taken on Gen NDE in axial
direction
Fig-10 showing bump test measurements taken on Gen NDE fan blade showing predominant
natural frequency at 21300 rpm
Fig-11 showing bump test measurements taken on Gen NDE Casing assembly top in axial
direction showing predominant natural frequency at 14925 rpm
Fig-12 showing bump test measurements taken on exciter body in axial direction showing
predominant natural frequency at 1763 and 6450 rpm. If the turbine speed is at or near
6450 rpm the exciter body may get excited in axial direction. The above frequencies
were observed on the exciter stator in axial direction
Fig-13 showing bump test measurements taken on exciter fan blade in axial direction
showing predominant natural frequency at 9300, 11625, 16800 rpm.
