Maintenance Seminar
For Non-Toshiba's General
generators
The deterioration of generator stator coil insulation influences the life of generator. Operating
Generator Stator Coil temperature, operating voltage stress, thermal-cycle stress cause damage to the stator insulation.
Rewindings Therefore it is necessary for judgement of insulation deterioration to carry out a diagnostic test of the
Generator stator coil.
Replacement To evaluate the residual life from experience and the accumulated data, the following methods are
Troubleshooting for employed:
Non-OEM Turbine
Generators Method
(1)Consumed Life : Estimate Consumption of Life by "Operational History" and "Establishment of
Example calculation method for residual break-down voltage"
Up-rating (2)Residual Life : Estimate Residual Life by "Consumed Life", "Establishment of calculation
Efficiency method for residual break- down voltage" and "Operation Pattern in the
Improvement future".
Easy Maintenance
Further, Visual inspection and Diagnostic test are conducted to obtain more accurate residual life
High Operability taken other factors such as moisture & foreign conductive matter into consideration.

From these results, preventive maintenance program will be prepared for generator.
