NOTE: deviation from these values can be made under the following conditions:
- The bar sits too loosely in the slot: increase the amount of silicone compound, as air bubbles can form inside
the compound
- The bar sits too tightly in the slot: this happens if silicone compound is pushed out when the coil is inserted.
Reduce the amount of the compound
- Realisation of Resin: thoroughly mix the resin and hardener in the mixing equipment. The scope of delivery
covers the resin and the required amount of hardener. The pot life of the compound is 2 hours at a
temperature of 23 °C. This period can be prolonged by cooling the components before and after mixing

1 Summary
This text proposes an installation sequence of the stator core and its connection to the stator
frame. Special cases where the stator is stacked in two or more segments in the workshop and
assembled on site or with clamping system on the back of the core are not covered in this
procedure.
The installation sequence and tolerances given in this text are guidelines. Each project engineer
is responsible to verify if the client has imposed erection tolerances, to verify if the tolerances
can be met and to optimize the installation sequence and tooling with its local installation team.
The tolerances given in this procedure are for reference. The tolerances given by the designer
or stated on the drawings always prevail.
2 Validity
This erection procedure is valid from the date of receipt of the approved edition, sent by letter
from the Generator Technology Centre and signed by the technology director. This document
will be revised when major changes make it necessary.
3 List of alternatives
• Stator core and keybars installed at site.
This procedure does not cover the installation of the auxiliary equipment
4 Scope of types
The presented erection procedure is valid for all vertical hydro generators and pump storages,
except small standard generators. It includes high, medium and low speed machines, as so as
all output ranges.
All machine types for which this instruction is not valid, like specific refurbishments and bulbs,
must be installed according to other specific criteria.
5 Technical descriptions
5.1 Definitions
Concentricity: area defined by a circle of radius t, the tolerance, which center corresponds to the
stator reference axis.
Circularity: area defined by two concentric circles separated by a distance t, the tolerance. The
two circles have their centers on the best center of the stator core.
Horizontality: area defined by two horizontal plans separated by a distance t, the tolerance.
5.2.1 Preparation
1. A compass (stator bore radius measuring tool) shall be installed concentric with the turbine
axis.
• Concentricity tolerance : 0.05mm
• Verticality tolerance : 0.05mm
2. Verify that the stator frame lower ring flatness tolerance is respected.
1. Mark the position of the keybars on each flange. If the clamping bolt holes on the lower ring
are already drilled, make sure that the position of the keybars will match the clamping bolt
positions. The keybars position should also match the center of the phases and neutral
connections.
2. Using c-clamps, install two resting plates. One on the stator flange above the lower ring and
the other on the flange below the top flange. These two resting plates will determine the
radial position of the reference keybar.
3. Adjust the radial position of the two resting plates to respect the radial position tolerance of
the keybar. The erection team has to take into consideration the welding deformations to
obtain the appropriate radial position of the resting plate after welding. If MIG/MAG welding
(CO2) is used, the welding deformation should be zero.
4. Weld the two resting plates.
5. Select a keybar with a good geometric shape (straightness, torsion,…). This keybar will be
called the reference keybar.
6. Temporary install the reference keybar.
7. Verify the radial distance to the centerline of the reference keybar. Correct the position of
the two resting plates, if required, until the radial tolerance is met.
8. Install and weld all the other resting plates.
9. Verify their radial position.
1. Grind the paint on the stator frame flanges at the location of each stirrup weld,
2. Install the mounting angles on the resting plates: the mounting angles should be on a
slightly larger radius than the bore radius of the resting plates,
3. Temporary dispose the keybars around the inner periphery of the stator frame and mark the
position of the stirrups at the height of each stator flange,
4. Remove the keybars. Slide on the stirrups and install them at their position using c-clamps,
5. Determine the quantity of master keybars: this quantity should be such that the chord
between each master keybar is about 2000mm and at maximum 4000mm. The quantity of
master keybars should be a multiple of the total quantity of keybars. If not possible, the last
master keybars should overlap the first master keybar,
6. Dispose the master keybars, equally spaced around the periphery: the first master keybar
should be installed on the reference resting plates. This master keybar is called the
reference keybar,
7. Bolt the master keybars to the stator frame. In order to prevent bending of the keybars, do
not tighten the mounting angles too hard. The keybars shall rest against the resting plates,
8. Adjust the lateral verticality of the reference keybar,
9. Verify the radial position of the reference keybar at all stator frame flange elevation,
10. Tack weld all the stirrups of the reference keybar,
11. Verify that there is no clearance between the reference keybar and the stirrups,
12. At all stator frame flange elevation, measure the chords between each master keybar.
Determine the average chord at each stator frame flange height,
13. Adjust the chords between each master keybar such that at all stator flange height the
difference between the measured chord and the average chord is 0.25mm maximum and
that the sum of the errors per elevation is below +-0.25mm. The difference between the sum
of errors between each elevation should be below 0.25mm,
14. Verify the radial position of the master keybars at all stator frame flange elevation,
15. Tack weld all the stirrups of the master keybars.
1. Install the intermediate keybars at equivalent interval between the master keybars,
2. Bolt the intermediate keybars to the stator frame. In order to prevent bending of the keybars,
do not tighten the mounting angles too hard. The keybars shall rest against the resting
plates,
3. Using the positioning template and the compass, adjust the position of the intermediate
keybars to respect the radial and the chord tolerances,
4. Verify the radial position of the intermediate keybars at all stator frame flange elevation,
5. Tack weld all the stirrups of the intermediate keybars,
6. Verify that there is no clearance between the keybars and the stirrups.
1. If the mounting angles can be used for stacking the next unit, remove and store them. If they
cannot be used for the next unit, secure the bolts by tack welding.
2. Stack two layers of lamination and verify that:
• There is no gap between the keybars and the stirrups.
• The back of the laminations rest against the keybars.
• The bore radius is within the circularity and concentricity tolerances
• There is a gap between each lamination, thus the laminations do not overlap.
3. Weld the stirrups. The welding of each stirrup should be made to minimize the welding
deformation, as shown in Figure 2. The stirrups should be welded following the sequence
described in Figure 2. Complete the welding of the stirrups on a stator flange before starting
at another level. MIG/MAG welding (CO2) is recommended to minimize the distortion of the
stator frame.
1. When the stator frame is made in sections and welded on site, the welding distortion could
locally affect the position of the holes, thus some designer could decide that it is better to
drill the clamping holes at site. If this is the case, use the laminations as a template to mark
and drill the clamping bolt holes on the lower ring.
2. Remove the laminations.
3. Install the DE press plates. If press fingers with strips are used, the extremity of the press
fingers (at the inner diameter) should be 2mm higher than the elevation at the outer press
finger diameter. Adjusting shims should be welded under the press fingers to obtain the
horizontality and elevation tolerances.
5.3.2 Stacking
1. Start the stacking. The end packages are usually made of stepped laminations.
2. At the middle height and final height of each lamination package, tap the laminations bore
radius using a plastic hammer to make sure that the laminations rest against the keybars.
3. Install the piling guides at each slot facing the keybars. The stacking guides will ensure a
smooth surface in the slots. The piling guide thickness should be 0.1mm smaller than the
theoretical slot width. The tolerance on the pilling guide thickness is +0.03mm, -0mm. The
first set of pilling guide set should be pulled up as the stacking goes on until the height of the
piling guide is reached, than a second set of pilling guides is used. The second set is pulled
up as the stacking goes on, until the complete height is reached. For high stator core (more
than 2m) it is a good practice to use an intermediate set of pilling guide. This intermediate
set can be made of only one pilling guide per lamination instead of 2.
4. At each layer, move forward the lamination by one keybar to overlap the joints. Always place
the first lamination of each package at the same position. Use the reference keybar as a
positioning guide. This procedure is not applicable for the lamination layers where stator
core RTD have to be installed, since the RTD slots have to be coincident.
5. Once a package is stacked, clamp the lamination package and measure its thickness on the
bore and the outer diameter using a vernier caliper. Try to distribute the thicker and thinnest
laminations and the equalizing segments to respect the thickness tolerance.
6. Install the ventilation segments and the insulating bushes as per drawing.
7. At 100mm from the bottom and 100mm from the top and at every stator frame flange take a
set of measurements in order to insure that the circularity, concentricity, verticality and the
straightness tolerances are met. The minimum number of reading per set of measurement is
based on the bore diameter, see Table 3. The first reading should always be taken at the
same angular position.
8. During stacking, proceed with intermediate pressing at approximately every 500mm of
stacked height. The last intermediate pressing is done two or three packages before the
core height is reached.
• The intermediate pressings must always be carried out after a final stacked core
package. It is not permitted to carry out a pressing within the stacking process of a
package. The ventilating segment should not be installed.
• Install the NDE press plates, the clamping bolts, the spacer tubes, the steel washers and
nuts.
• Grease with a non-conductive grease the bearing surface of the nuts and the threads
and tighten the nuts following a pattern similar to Figure 4. The proposed pattern consists
in separating the stator core in equal segments and all the first nut of each segment is
tightened at the same time and so on. To do this a hydraulic pump equipped with a
manifold is used with hydraulic hollow cylinder jacks. Limit the force to 80% of the
nominal value. As the stacking goes on, the stretching length of the clamping bolts will
increase.
• Measure the core height around the circumference on the inner and outer radius. From
these measurements, the stator core will be equalized in the next package using
equalizing laminations.
• Using a sharp knife check each core tooth for compactness. Mark non-compact areas
with chalk. Determine the thickness of the required inserts.
• Check the slot dimensions and smoothness using the slot control device.
• After intermediate pressing, loose the nuts in a crosswise pattern.
• Remove the NDE press plates and the clamping bolts.
10. To have a uniform core, it could be necessary to have special equalizing segments that do
not interlock with the keybars. In this special case, use Nomex paper and glue it with epoxy
to the laminations.
11. Once the final stator core height is reached, proceed with the final pressing.
• Install the NDE press plates
• Fix the insulating tubes in the insulating washers. The insulating tubes shall be
introduced up to the middle of the insulating washers.
• Install the clamping bolts, spring plate, press washer, insulating tubes and insulating
washers, plain steel washers, and the nuts.
• Grease with a non-conductive grease the bearing surface of the nuts and the threads
and tighten the nuts in a sequence similar to Figure 4. A hydraulic hollow cylinder must
be used. Stretch the studs to their nominal elongation within ±5% of their nominal
calculated value.
• Try to insert a sharp paper knife on the inner and outer diameter of the core. Non
compact areas must be marked with chalk and corrected by loosening the clamping bolts
and inserting equalizing segments. Do not take off the whole pressure on the clamping
bolts. Stop loosening the clamping bolts as soon as you are able to insert the equalizing
segment. Tighten the loosened clamping bolts the nominal value.
• Verify the horizontality and the elevation tolerances.
• Measure the height of the core.
• Remove the piling guides and verify the slot dimension using the slot control device.
12. Measure the insulation resistance of the clamping bolts. Use a 500 V d.c. Megger. The
insulation resistance should be at least 10 MΩ.
13. Paint the stator core using a 2 components epoxy resin paint:
• Apply 1 coat (1 x 40 microns) on the stator bore and on the back of the core
• Apply a second coat (1 x 40 microns) on the back of the core
• Apply a thin coat (1 x 20-30 microns) in the stator core slots
15. Verify the tightening of the clamping bolts. Re-tighten the clamping bolts if required.
16. At each end of the stator core, the bore diameter of the last lamination package will be
coated with two components wiping epoxy.
17. There is no need to lock the nuts. The pre-stressing of the clamping bolts locks the nut by
itself.

1 General information
This instruction describes the voltage tests on stator windings of rotating machines with rated volt-
ages > 3.3 kV.
• In connection with the winding manufacturing of rotating electrical machines and for checking
during the production of the individual winding elements, installing or assembly and after the
completion of the winding, voltage tests are to be planned.
• The instruction fixes up the timing and voltage for the testing of the various winding elements
taking into account the insulation system.
• For winding operations outside the manufacturer’s works if required, additionally the details
given in TI HTAE 60057 are to be observed.
• The present instruction will be matched regularly with the latest knowledge levels and is valid
from the date of issue of the last revision index.
We reserve all rights in this document and in the information contained therein. Reproduction, use or disclosure to third parties with-
out express authority is strictly forbidden. Copyright © 2009 by ALSTOM (Switzerland) Ltd.
• Before connecting or after switching off the voltage, the corresponding winding section or phase
is to be immediately earthed visibly. Further the relevant safety precautions for working with high
voltage are to be observed.
• In the normal case before and after every high voltage test, an insulation resistance measure-
ment is to be carried out according to HTAE 60012. The high voltage test should normally be
done, only if the minimal insulation resistance values are complied with.
When testing individual elements (bars, coil), the insulation resistance measurement may be
omitted in the normal case (subject to customer requirements). However it is recommended to
carry out this measurement as random sampling on the first 10 bars or coils for checking per
winding type.
• The test voltage is a sinusoidal A.C. voltage with a frequency between 40 Hz and 60 Hz, with a
ratio of peak value to effective value 2 ± 5 % : 1. Normally testing is done with a 50 Hz-A.C.
voltage, irrespective of the rated frequency of the test object. The test voltage should not vary
by more than ± 5 % of the rated test voltage within the testing time.
At rated voltages from 6 kV, after consultation with the responsible technical department or the
approval of the customer respectively, even a testing with D.C. voltage is permissible. The test
voltage UDC to be applied is then determined as follows:
• The test voltages are entered in the present instruction under the respective section as a func-
tion of the rated voltage UN and are valid for a customer acceptance test voltage UAP = 2UN+1kV
according to IEC60034-1.
If the customer acceptance test voltage UAP is exceptionally higher than 2UN+1kV, the test volt-
ages of the levels 4 and 5 are to be increased by the difference of the acceptance test voltage to
2UN+1kV. The following is applicable:
• The voltage test should be begun with a sufficiently small voltage (less than 50 % of the pre-
scribed test voltage) and then raised evenly with a velocity of 1-2 kV/s (Normal case), or in
steps of not more than 5 % of the planned test voltage (same total voltage regulation period as
in normal case). The time for the voltage increase from half to the full test voltage value should
be minimum 10 s. The full test voltage is, unless other specifications are there, to be held for 1
minute (for special tests on unimpregnated winding elements according to curve 0 only 10 s!).
After that, the voltage is to be regulated back as evenly and as quickly as possible to zero.
• At voltages greater than about 1.1 × UN/ 3 or 1.1 UN (between phases) fine corona discharges
can occur. This is permissible, provided at the test voltage no creepage paths or pronounced
spark-overs arise.
If distinct spark discharges or creepage path formations occur, the testing is to be immediately
aborted. The cause is to be clarified and action measures taken for preventing them. In case of
creepage path formations repairs are to be carried out.
• The tests of the levels 1 - 5 are done normally at ambient conditions, irrespective of cooling me-
dium or the subsequent installing height.
• The customer acceptance test (Level 6) is done according to IEC60034-1 on completely assem-
bled generator under normal operating conditions.
• In case of direct-fluid cooled machines, with filled-in cooling medium, a minimal circulation of the
same during the voltage test is to be taken care of (min. 20 % of the rated throughflow quantity
of the cooling medium).
If the cooling medium is not filled, the stator winding must be dry (check through insulation resis-
tance). If earlier a winding leak-tightness test had been carried out by means of Helium, the
cooling circuit must first be flushed with N 2 because of the Teflon hoses.
• After treating the end windings with corona protection varnishes (e.g. Phase separations) or af-
ter drawing in of pre-impregnated cords, their drying time is to be observed, before a voltage test
is permitted to be done. Normally, the drying time at an ambient temperature of 18 - 23°C is
at least 24 h.
• A voltage test is considered passed if no disruptive discharges, flash-overs or creepage path tra-
ces have formed.
2.2 Protocol
About every voltage test carried out a protocol is to be maintained, which should contain the follow-
ing details:
• Insulation type, rated voltage, customer acceptance test voltage, test voltage according to electri-
cal calculation
• Winding condition
• Winding -/ambient temperature
• Voltage type (AC or DC)
• Voltage magnitude/velocity of the voltage increase
• Test duration
• Finding
• Observations, if any (Discharges/Temperature rises)
• Insulation resistance, before and after the voltage test
• Inspector, Date.
Electrical tests should be carried out only by trained personnel observing the general and local
safety measures.
• It is to be noted that differentiation is made between testing the entire winding against earthed
frame or the individual phases respectively, as well as individual winding elements.
• During the testing of double Roebel bars (transposed conductors) both bar halves must be con-
nected at both ends conductively with one another!
• For the individual bar tests depending on the insulating system different, suited test voltages
come to be applied (Curves 1 – 1e).
The test voltages during the winding assembly (curves 2 - 6) are valid for all insulation systems
(Exception: Global impregnation technique / MC-System).
• For the individual bar testing of hydro generator bars at test voltages ≥ 60 kV the corona pro-
tection sleeves and stress grading layers are to be protected by means of shunt-arranged resis-
tors.
For the individual bar testing of Turbo generator bars with corona protection sleeves, a shunting
of the end control must be done only at test voltages ≥ 80 kV. For turbo generator bars without
sleeves, a shunting of the end control must be carried out, in case the following is applicable:
The shunting of the end corona protection in the end winding region is done through a parallel circuit
of high voltage-/ high power resistors (lattice network). The coupling is done according to Fig. 1a
with special tension springs.

Divide the control paths between end of slot corona protection coating (under the sleeve) and end of
the insulation so, that each of the parts A, B,...E in fig. 1a have a mean electrical field strength of
max. 4kV/cm. For subdivision of control paths see table below.
Each control box is dimensioned for a voltage of up to Urms = 45 kV and consists of 10 resistors
100 kΩ / 250 W connected in series. Between two adjacent connecting sockets the resistance is
200 kΩ (2 resistors in series).
When using n control boxes, every “n“th connecting socket (from earth terminal) is used. The other
sockets remain open (see Fig. 1a as example for 3 control boxes).
The shunting is based on H-VL VB 65/233 or ZWT PB 219556. Resistance characteristic and build-
up of the so-called control boxes are defined in PB.
The connection of the 6 terminals of the control boxes at the bar-bows is done by means of ≤ 5 mm
wide, copper strips fitted over the corona protection according to Fig. 1b.
Fig. 1b: Test arrangement variant B for the shunting of the voltage stress grading length.
Control boxes placed insulated against the earth (on insulating blocks).
The couplings (Strips, springs) must in each case lie in a plane, perpendicular to the test piece axis
and pulled taut.
The connecting cables with the control boxes must have adequate distance from one another.
The control boxes must, before using for the test be checked for being free from dust, for the pur-
pose of preventing creepage path formation. The control box resistors are to be checked with Ohm-
meter from time to time, in order to detect interruptions, if any.
The control boxes must be installed well insulated, for the purpose of preventing flash-overs to
earth.
After every test series, the resistors in the control boxes are to be scanned for uniform temperature
rise.
• Special phase bars with built-in potential coatings in the overhang must be additionally tested
with 2 x UN for 1 minute prior to installation in the overhang. In this, the slot corona protection in
the slot region and the Cu-conductor are to be earthed; the slot corona protection in the over-
hang region is to be connected to voltage.

* Special test: e. g. When changing the production place or during first time production of MICADUR-

• Clamp the bars between 2 metal strips placed on the broad sides (provided bars are not assembled
in L-strips), which are spaced exactly at distance equal to the SPECIFIED width of bar. The length of
the strips should correspond to that of the core (slot). The strips must be connected with earth dur-
ing the test.
• In the case of no stress grading protection (stress grading varnish applied after VPI-process) a tem-
porary voltage stress grading must be applied (with PETP/Gl Gwb leit 10 tape; 1/3 overlapped),
which has to be removed after the HV-test.

power, subdivision is not allowed within one pole to ensure that the air gap between the two layers
will not be overstressed.
*** In case the rated electrical field strength E is remarkably lower than 2.5 kV/mm the pseudo rated volt-
age U’N has to be taken as base for the calculation of the test voltage for the single bar. The U’N is
calculated according the rated insulation thickness and the electrical field strength of 2.5 kV/mm:
kV
U ' N = 3 * d iso * 2.5
mm
Increased customer acceptance test voltage
If the customer acceptance test voltage UAP is exceptionally higher than (2UN+1kV), the test voltages of the
levels 4 and 5 are to be increased by the difference of the customer acceptance test voltage to (2UN+1kV).
Then the following is applicable:
UP ' = UP + UAP − (2UN + 1kV )
Special tests
If required, the tests according to curves 0, 1c and 3 from chapter 4 also come for application to hydro-
generators. When installing the winding at the erection site, if required, additionally the details in
TI HTAE 60057 are to be followed.

Diagram 2: A.C. voltage tests on stator windings of hydro-generators and special machines
Calculation formulae:
All winding and terminal lead connections of machines with acceptance test voltages UAP ≥ 37 kV
are to be tested individually before installing in the stator with the test voltage listed on the next
page in Diagram 3.
For testing, the connection conductors must be provided up to the distance l from the insulation end
(see next but one page, Diagram 4) with an earth electrode, e.g. made of aluminum foil which must
be widely wound with binding wire. In order to avoid surface discharges the connections must be
coated with overhang stress grading over the entire length.
The test refers to the connection groups which are manufactured, assembled and cured outside the
machine (compact connections).
Test in each case one input and output of one phase (according to drawing) against the remain-
ing outputs and inputs to be grounded with 1.25 • UAP for 1 minute.
Apply insulating barriers (plate material made of Hgw, Nomex etc.) to all uninsulated connection
ends if the minimum distances from points of different potential are less than 200 mm.
6.3 Testing of the complete connection unit in the installed condition against frame
• Stator winding connections with earthed surface and controlled ends are to be tested, before in-
stalling in the machine for the phase-side connections with 4 × UN and the neutral point side
connections with 3 × UN for 1 minute.
• To the extent connections are put together before the assembly in the stator, these are to be
tested against one another with 1.25 × UAP for 1 minute. In this, all not yet insulated connection
ends are to be provided with insulating barriers (sheet material from Hgw, Nomex, etc.), in case
these ends do not have minimum distances of 200 mm to points of different potentials.
• At test voltages UZP ≥ 80 kV shunt-connected resistors are to be used according to details under
chapter 3 for shunting the control paths.

LL 16 is a grey, 2-component solvent-containing varnish on a epoxy resin base with voltage-
dependent conductivitiy. It consists of the varnish component with carborundum as the conductive
pigment and the curing component (hardener).
LL 16 is used as conductive varnish for controlling the surface voltage potential, mainly as a stress
grading varnish on stator winding bars and coil exits and winding overhangs of high voltage
machines. Required layer thickness: Min. 50 µm (0.05 mm).

For painting and rolling:
100 parts by mass Varnish component LL 16 HIFE 450018 R ...
10 parts by mass Hardener Härter 103 HIFE 450021 P ...
3 Preparing of mixture
The mixing of the components has to be done just before using the varnish. The varnish component
LL16 must be thoroughly stirred before adding the hardener, in order to make sure that no sediment
remains. After having added the hardener, the mixture must be stirred until a homogenous mixture is
obtained.
Attention: the solvent may evaporate due to too long mixing cycles in open containers.
